Hey /k/, got a question for you.
In a gas piston system with a rotating bolt, how does the bolt unlock from the chamber? I know in a DI AR, the gases go inside the bolt and push it slightly forward to relieve a little of the backwards pressure on the bolt so it can unlock, but it appears that in a piston gun (whether or not it's an AR) the piston only provides a backwards push on the BCG, which I would think wouldn't work because it doesn't have that little forward push to release it from the locking lugs. Anyone here that can explain this?
Wondering because I'm working on my own design (idk if I'll ever have the motivation/time/resources to try and make it but I am having fun with designing it alone). I am also wondering if the part of the bolt with the extractor claw can strip a round from a magazine or it something special would have to be done to make that work?
If anyone else has any questions post them here and maybe we can all learn something today.

I don't have an answer to the OP but I do have a question regarding DI versus gas piston: are gas piston guns inherently less accurate or does that only apply to ARs?
Bumping, I'm sure someone here knows the answer.

Depends on design i guess. With di there is a much longer dwell time before the piston in the bcg fires and cycles the action, giving the bullet time ti exit the muzzle before anything happens, not sure how true that is for piston designs.
I beleive the scar and mdr(vaporware till actually released) have sub moa? Accuracy from ss gas piston designs.
I need help deciding
This is purchase will serve as a fun gun and has no bearing with practicality what so ever.
That being said I have a little extra money this month and can't decide between
Sig p226 tacops
OR
FNX 45 tactical
What do you think ?
Also I hate to say it but creeping in the back of my mind ins a glock I can fully customize. What do you think
>>29275712
Fnx or glock
>>29275712
>This is purchase will serve as a fun gun and has no bearing with practicality what so ever.
Buy a harpoon gun.
Hunt whales.
>>29275712
SIG MK25

So is this thing just a glorified minesweeper?

Litoral combat ship. Too wide to traverse most rivers in litoral operations, hull section of aluminum that disintegrates in sea water. Yeah its a pile of shit.
>>29275472
Sub hunting, mine sweeping, swarm popping and a box AShM launcher for distributed lethality.

Why does the Lockheed-Martin LCS look so normal in comparison?
Why are Canadians not allowed to conceal carry?
Even more importantly, why are Canadian Forces members in combat arms roles not allowed to conceal carry? We saw two days ago a terrorist walk into the recruitment centre and stabbed two people, knowing he will not be killed himself.
What is the logic behind not letting more people carry? It makes perfect sense to me that a soldier should be allowed to conceal carry at the very least.
Would they carry the hipower? The p226?
>>29275368
US solders can't carry in the recruitment centers either.
>Would they carry the hipower? The p226?
uhhh, in a fantastical, hypothetical scenario they could carry star wars blasters for all i care.
>>29275368
It's because liberals are so afraid of guns they're okay with disarming all the responsible citizens if it means temporarily disarming some criminals. That's why.
>>29275421
What's the reason behind that? Seems ridiculous.
Hey guys what do you think of my AR-10 in progress
Yup, that's a gun.
Looks pretty complete.
>>29275339
Not my optic, it's a friends
Can we start a less lethal weapons thread?
Does anyone own anything like that? Exotic rounds, pepper spray, tazer, etc
>>29274970
I own a 10/22. Totally not lethal by any means.
There is no such thing as "less lethal". There is lethal and non lethal and that is it. And no I dont. My guns shoot bullets and I wouldnt have it any other way.
yeah my 9mm
Like, any time in the next decade or so? What president has the best chance of making it happen?

Why live
No. Kill yourself.
Doubt it, but why would you want those anyway, are you a fucking poorfag?
>>29274922
>not wanting decent guns at low prices
If you were an actual richfag, you'd understand the value of money and not want to pay extra money for the same product because "muh import regs."
So what are some /k/ movies? I've got done watching Full Metal Jacket for the 2937 time, and Apocolypes Now for the 827th time. What are some good movies so I can cuddle with my rifle and finaly get to 2nd base with her? I need some good movies so i can get lude and maybe dissassemble her.

Quik question
I wanna buy an AK from online, it says I need to have it shipped to a FFL dealer blah blah,
How does it work?
What do I have to do?
>>29274538
Call local FFL, ask if you can transfer though them. If yes buy gun, send contact info for people you bought it from and the order number/your name to FFL so he can tell them to ship it to him. Call people you bought it from who the FFL is and that he will contact them. Wait for gun.
>>29274580
k thanks
>>29274651
No problem, make sure you have all the info ready so you're not fumbling for shit on the phone.

hello /k/ommandos
i have to write a position paper for my libtard professor about what regulations should be imposed on firearm ownership in americaland. i can't say nothing, there has to be some substance to what i'm saying, so what reasonable restrictions/controls should be in my paper.
>>29274369
Nothing. Tell that commie you will drag him out back and put him down for treason if he disagrees.
tell that piece of shit to get fucked
write about the koreans in the LA riots and the battle of athens tennessee
read the amendment aloud, and then re-read the part where it says SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED
then turn it around on him. posit that he should have to register before voicing an opinion or publishing a paper because there should be regulations on what can be said and who can say it. when he says his first amendment rights should not be infringed ask him why the second amendment is somehow different.
also, do your own fucking homework, loser.
why didn't they make these
>>29274208
>why didn't they make these
>posts pic of one that was made
probably too heavy
>>29274208
Because they can make them smaller, cheaper and slap them on a rifle and still do the same job.

Where did Britain tested and developed their nuclear weapons?
>>29274063

Any thoughts on the K2 rifle? It seems Betty gud.
>>29273529
Good rifr.
>>29273529
It's fun. And a fair rifle. But I wouldn't let my life depend on it.
>>29273579
People always say that shit, ignoring the fact that many of the rifles here have actually been used in life or death situations
