Thinking about future warfare with giant robots. Leaving aside the issues with mechs themselves, how should they be organized and deployed at the small unit level?
Talking battletech or heavy gear here, not magical weeaboo shit

You honestly have a long way until giant robot mechs op, humanoid robots can barely stand up today. You're better off putting your investments into real military combat robots. This is coming from a mechanical engineer

>>29464220
Also in almost any case (according to analysis of the actual lore) a tank would be a cheaper, more effective option.

I feel like they would need to be deployed in rather large groups , unlike what the show in Mecha programs and battletech universe I think each individual mech "soldier" would have only one serious weapon system since the propulsion and power system would take up so much of its physical form.
They'd be grouped like naval battle groups, I think, long range (artillery?) strikers protected by fast mobile close range (plasma sword?) mechs , missiliers in the middle, etc. I doubt one on one or small team combat is realistic especially given the cost the mechs would carry, they would be protected like flagships.

Alright /k/, I've decided to make my summer project gun an AR pistol with home defense in mind. Below is an abbreviated list of significant components, thoughts?
Lower: forged
Upper: forged
BCG: TiNi or NiBr
Barrel: Daniels Defense 11.5 in, carbine length gas sytem.
Gas Block: PRI low profile aluminium block
Charging handle: AXTS ambi charging handle
Buffer: pistol tube with a heavy buffer and LAW tactical folding stock adapter (gen 3)
Handguard: Troy alpha rail (9 in)
Pistol Grip: MFT Engage, or Magpul K2
Trigger Group: Fostech Echo or Franklin Armory Binary Trigger
BUIS: Magpul MBUS or 45 degree canted XS Big Dots
White light: Streamlight TLR-1 HL
Foregrip: FAB Defense hand stop
Optic: Aimpoint T1-Micro
"Arm brace": SBX Pistol Brace
Muzzle Device: Kinitech muzzle brake with 13/16 x 16 thread to sound redirector sleeve
Bolt release: Troy Ambi bolt release
Sling: Botach Tactical single point
This is my first AR pistol build, if you've got advice on making one that doesn't suck, I'll take that too.

Get the Shockwave blade brace instead, it's better.
Don't get the Troy rail either, Troy is shit.
Also, the binary trigger is a meme and not practical.
>>
>>29463886
Seems like the SBX because it offers a larger footprint on the butt would offer better recoil distribution, what makes the blade brace better?
I'm cannibalizing the alpha rail from another rifle so it's a free component, may as well use it, right?
Is there a better ambi bolt assist device out there? the troy seems to inspire more confidence than a magpul BAD because it's aluminium instead of plastic.
>>
>>29463910
Their ambi device is fine and if you already have the rail that's okay. Troy are a bunch of statists, and shouldn't really be supported if you can avoid it. The Shockwave brace is more rigid which makes it function better as an "illegal SBR" but both are alright.

Looking for a ranch rifle but I want something more versatile than a .22, so I'm leaning more towards a .223 or .30 carbine. I've heard that Mini-14s are unreliable, and I've heard that .30 sucks. I don't have much experience with either other than fingerfucking them at LGS, but they're both super comfy. Thoughts, /k/?

Mini 14 is a fucking sewing machine. If you've heard theyre unreliable it's from ar15 fanboys who have never owned on much less used a rifle outside of a range.
The mini14 does leave some things to be desired, but reliability is not one of them.

I currently carry a 75BD but I'm looking for a smaller carry option.
Requirements
1. Single stack between 6-8 round capacity
2. All metal construction
3. DA/SA
Does such a thing exist?

So a Sig P220, P225/P6 or P239 if you want something readily available.
S&W 39-2 or various 3rd gens
Kahr has some but they aren't DA/SA
Could probably think of more, but realistically you're looking for Sigs.

I know the whole "le zombie" thing is annoying but I need to understand how people can suspend their disbelief like this
Slow moviing dead people are not hard to counter. A WW1 platoon could wipe them out. A fucking SWAT team could kill a large swathe of them.
Light&heavy machine gun emplacements, laser guided munitions, fully automatic SMG/ARs/HGs, helicopter air support, cluster bombs, barricades, etc
If such a virus did break out and it was only spread through body fluid it'd be so easy to counter it'd be laughable.

Read Black Tide Rising if you enjoy the zombie apocalypse but find it in general full of implausibility. John Ringo makes it plausible and entertaining.
Otherwise, completely agree, even if this is perhaps not the right forum for this particular post.

I'm a teenager and I was going to get my hunting license a couple years back, but didn't get it because a lot of stuff came up and I was busy. I don't want to do it just to put food on our table, now i see it as a waste of time since we can just buy food, and it would be faster. I have a Barnett Recruit, a rifle, and a bow that I haven't used in awhile. Is there any way I can get paid for hunting any type of animal?

You could go poaching in Africa. Alternatively, you could grow up and stop feeling the urge to kill things without good cause.

Kelly, you should try finding if there's farmers in your area that need hogs cleared from their land, or rabbits.

I'm thinking about refinishing the stock on my SMLE with linseed oil but I don't know if it has already been refinished, and I don't want to destroy the collectors/historical value by refinishing it if it has not been refinished. Can anyone tell if this Lee-Enfield stock has been refinished?

It took permanent modification to fit that scope which means it now has no collectors value

Not an expert but it looks original. If you want a nicer looking stock, buy an old drill purpose stock set and restore and finish that. It'll take some work but you can end up with a stock finished to your liking.

So, the Tavor X95 is hitting the streets and... it's not $2000+? (They're selling for $1749 on Gunbroker and a few other sites.) I guess IWI was actually smart and built up a decent supply before shipping out guns to distributors.
That said, why the fuck does it take longer for the ODG and .300 Blackout versions to hit the streets? I can sort of see why the Blackout version would be delayed (gotta fuck with the gas system), but how the fuck does making a rifle green take longer than black or yellow?

Maybe there was some issue with the color coming out wrong. Do these things have an improved trigger? If I'm in the market for a bullpup what would motivate me to get the X95 over the (now presumably even cheaper) Tavor?

Hello /k/, bit of an odd question but I'm not sure where else to turn.
Basically I want to get my girlfriends dad something really cool for his 60th and he's always had an eye for the soviet gear and generally likes wearing leather jackets.
So, was wondering if anyone could tell me where to find a jacket like this (I'm in the uk) or if you know the name of this kinda thing or something like it.
I went to /his/ and got a link with a lot of good stuff, but not what I'm looking for, perhaps you lot can help!

Trust me, he'll be tickled pink by an SKS and a trip to the range. All you need to do is let him shoot 7.62x39. He'll be ecstatic and never forget you.

>>29461821
Was thinking of doing something along those lines, but sadly no where around here really does anything like that (sadly) so I thought this would be a generally good idea for him.

Fellow bong here. Surplus especially of the Soviet type is a bit of a speciality. If you are still here to care, I have nothing better to do. Give me 20 minutes or less.
