Dependents of service members mostly, with some local nationals depending on location. Good is about the same or a bit more expensive depending on where you are.

In roughly the same place because American gun companies would still be making AR-15 and 1911 clones.

Would the US adoption of the 276 Pederson been a good idea during WW2? 276Garands, BARs, and other rifles would have been much more controllable vs the 30-06. The 308 would have never been developed and the 223 would have been delayes. And yes i did watch the Forgotten Weapons video.

.276 would have been adopted and .308 would never have been a thing.
We would have .276 NATO now
>>
We probably would have 276 as the standard battle round. Would have developed something less powerful than the 223 for PDW applications (5.7?). We probably would have needed something more powerful for sniping applications (338 or 30-06?)

One away from a quint. Nice quad tho i guess.

How can I not get killed while camping?
I mean, here's a situation that's been bothering me:
I'm alone. Innawoods. Wanking in a tent. I fizm the jizm and go to sleep. Once I'm fast asleep, a murderhobo/zodiac killer/reptilian creeps up to the tent and wails on the tent with an axe.
I die.
End of story.
How do I guard myself against this shit?

Would an automatic .308 have any legitimate use or is full auto just a meme? I feel like it could be used as an effective deployable SAW but my friend is telling me its unrealistic and uncontrollable.

Bipod and HBAR
Its just for suppressive use anyways and alway nice to have options

>>29489853
Full auto is only useful for suppressing the enemy, so I imagine .308 would do the same thing as a 5.56 rifle, but you've got 10 less shots

I need some help /k/, im a first time buyer of and AR build and im not sure where to start, i have a really good idea of what i want in the rifle but i don't know where to get it. I want to build my own right the first time so i waste as little money as possible and get the best for my dollar. Now this doesnt mean im not willing to spend any money, i just dont want it going to waste. Im looking at something between $900 and $1300 for my first build and like i said i have a really good idea of what i want
-billeted flat top upper receiver
-gas piston operated to keep the carbon out of the chamber and somewhere more manageable
-free floating quad rail hand guard ~10in
-16in mid barrel
-possibly nickle boron bolt carrier(though doubt i can find one for piston)
I've looked all over the place but i can only ever seem to find just a couple parts listed on one site or another, id really hate having to order from several separate sites to get all the parts i want, and the problem is since im new to buying i dont really know what to look for in part or really what all to get
I have used an M16 in army BCT so i know how to take apart and clean the upper portion of the rifle but was never allowed to go any further and i have been around guns most my life but mostly just bolt action rifles and shotguns... so i was thinking i could just buy a complete lower at my local gun shop and get everything else online. But i guess the main thing id like some help with is what parts i should get, what to look for, and where to get them at to keep everything in preferably the same website, so i can get a parts list

ARs are like Legos. You know what parts you want, all you need to do now is order them.
You're probably not gonna get all those on the same site.
>>
>>29489763
>piston ar
>on a rifle designed for di
You've already fucked up.
>>
>>29489830
i figured id get some controversy here on this site about that but after the pain it was keeping the m16 clean in BCT and then learning about piston systems, i really like the concept.
i understand it does not remove the carbon build up it just build up somewhere else and i think that in the gas block is a much more manageable place to clean, just my personal opinion
plus it really dosnt add any real negatives to over all performance and any downsides that it has i feel like its more then worth for the benefits, plus since there is no hot gas being spewed on the bolt carrier it doesn't burn off oil nearly as fast which is another great positive in my eyes

So everyone does things like mud tests and sand tests but what's some stuff you want to see done as reliability/durability tests that hasn't been done much or at all?
I'd love to see a test of just leaving a gun out in the woods and seeing how long it can sit there before it stops working.

But your supposed to test for mildly realistic battlefield scenarios
ie; Mud, sand, snow, drop, IED even
When would we leave our rifles outside against a tree for a few months

That rifle could conceivably be repaired if you removed it, yes?

okay so lets talk tank tracks, i'm going to make a track design with a 3d program, 3d print it and use the result as a model for a plaster cast with which i'm going to cast aluminum tracks for my rc tank
here's the (very basic) 3d modelling program
https://www.tinkercad.com/
and here are my design ideas so far
https://www.tinkercad.com/users/6UD8qJvY3l6-tank-tracks
so, any suggestions for how the tracks should be like?

What's the scale of your tank? Also what model?
It's gonna be a bitch to drill and possibly ream every single link for the peg anyway.

i'm using the electronics of my old buggy so about 1-2kg i will design the chassis myself.
i will place the pins of the tracks inside of the mold so that they form the holes and i wont have to drill them.

Oh please tell me how the mighty katana is different?
Sup /k/ I just picked up a Walther PPQ 45 and put about 100 rnds through it. I generally feel more comfortable with .45's but I was sort of meh with the PPQ. I love the feeling in my hand, I love the trigger, and I love the sights but actually shooting it was a little disappointing. I might just need to get used to it. Anyone else have a PPQ in 45? Thoughts?

Wife uses ppx in 9 for EDC. Crisp trigger short reset easy spot sights and 16 round mag with almost too comfortable grip. Walther is the best value in guns. First timers or collectors won't be disappointed. She's more accurate with mine but no surprises @$600 more it'd Better be

>>29489585
I was gonna pick up a 1911 for about $950 but sort of fell in love with the feel of the PPQ. Kinda wish I had gotten the 1911 but I saved money and I can always get a 1911 later. I don't foresee them being hard to find any time soon. Eventually I want to pickup an FNx .45
