why did the 1911 outlast all other pistols being produced after ww2? There were some great ones from a lot of different countries and at the rate of how many 1911s are produced from different companies, why didn't other pistols get the chance?
I would have loved to see p38s or FNs have the same production today
The radom looks pretty sweet
>>29212713
Because those other countries don't have a domestic gun culture. Half of them were communist for 45 years too.
Because JMB pioneered many of the aspects that are still used in handguns today.
The patent ran out, so anyone can make it. Thus the popularity of production.
The other sides lost, therefore their production was disrupted, they fell behind the iron curtain, or they had un-modern designs like the Webley revolver.
I'm going to get my first rifle.
I want something to shoot and am thinking about steel. What does /k/ recommend?
I recommend keeping your trigger finger free
If you've never shot get a .22 of some kind. Learn the barebones basics of shooting. Then move up to something bigger.
Cheap surplus is okay for putzing around, if you're serious look into something like a Savage bolt gun. If you want a semi auto, the default lowest common denominator would be something like an M&P sport AR. Or you can part one together. They're generally cheap.

I am getting a CZ 452
School me on the Walthers, primarily the PPS and maybe the CCP. Do they really have the smoothest and best triggers on a single stack 9mm? I admit I kinda slept on Walther because of the shitposting and because they're just not as popular as Glock or S&W but I'm looking into them now.
>>29212635
Trigger is pretty good for a striker fire gun, but the main draw is how damn thin it is.
>>29212635
Just get a Glock 43 or a Shield. Unless you must have special snowflake gun. Then get PPS M2.
>>29212939
I'm looking into the PPS and I'll try to find one to shoot but the supposed quality of the trigger and the rail have my curiosity.
Well /k/? How can you handle this flawless logic?
>>29212603
Do I need a gun? Of course not. I don't need to vote, have freedom of speech or be able to travel from state to state freely, either. There are plenty of people in prison who have everything they need, but none of what they want.

Hi /k/,
What's the best set of night vision goggles on the market?
What's the best bang for buck (assuming I don't want to drop more than $2k)?
Can you see through walls?
Any other info that would be helpful?
>>29212427
Sounds like you want thermal.
>>29212427
$2,000 budget = PVS-14
You will see in the dark, and see skinwalkers stalking you in the distance - but by then it's already too late
>>29212529
>but by then it's already too late
why?
>>29212456
>Sounds like you want thermal.
maybe. I'd like to be able to see through walls.
I'm not clear what the difference is between simple night vision and thermal
do you have any recommendations?
When does a rifle become an "assault rifle"? How does one acquire a thirty magazine clip?
>>29212199
Whenever it hits someone, is arrested, and brought before a judge.
>>29212262
You got it mixed up.
The person has to feel threatened by the Rifle and then sue for assault.
Battery is when the rifle physically makes contact with the person.
>>29212199
Intermediate round, select fire, detachable magazine preferred.
More of a military classification. ATF doesn't classify assault rifles as far as I know, because any select fire is a machine gun, so that would just leave public opinion, which basically means scary gun that has the aesthetics of a modern military small arm.
>Well, I got here the same way the coin did.
You come home and see this
What are your last words?
Also, captive bolt pistol thread
You don't have to do this.
Do it faggot.
No words. I would draw immediately. He'd beat me, of course, but at least it wouldn't be the bolt gun. I'd least I'd die with dignity.
How do you feel about this guy?
Fells good man.
I havent fucked up and gotten my friends kilked because I lied to them about knowing how to drive a stick.
And we've shot the same number of people.
>>29210871
I have no opinion, one way or the other.
my response is to tactically scroll away from these threads
> Ukrainian soldiers often communicate with off-the-shelf Motorola walkie-talkies, sharing frequencies with their enemies. The two sides sometime taunt each other over the open airwaves.

Imagine shit talking against the people your live firing on in real time. COD in real life.
>>29210857
Fuck that sounds like a nightmare. I'm surprised we haven't sent PRC117s with those humvees and other non weapon things.
45 caliber uzi for 1,250
Or
Slr104 Arsenal ak 74
Or
Mg3 parts kit for 600
Or
Semi auto 1919 browning for 2k
1919 is .308 and it comes with a 30cal barrel too
Do you have the means/knowledge to build the MG3?
>>29210865
Yeah. I've built a dp28 parts kit before
why didn't the nazis ever go into outerspace for war?
>>29210822
They needed another twenty years of R&D.
The V2 was barely suborbital..
do you think the allies wouldve surrendered if the nazis reached the moon first?
But they did..

you open your front door in the morning

what will you do? what will you use?
>>29210784
Saiga-12 with nothing but dragon breath ammo
Time to werf some flammen
BROKEN ARROW! I REPEAT BROKEN ARROW!
I was a moron and I tried attaching the trigger group to the barrel on my SKS, now it won't release. I'm pressing the button at an angle, and the saftey is off. Am I fucked? What do I do?
Forgot to mention, I didn't use the stock. Because I'm a moron.
>>29210599
the stock being on or off doesn't have anything to do with it, only makes it easier to hold the rifle while pushing the button.
Stop being a bitch, rifle is fine, ect. ect.
>>29210599
I had this happen to me, if you have a vice then get it in there good, and press on the button as hard as you can and rip it off. It can be taken off .
Any advice for a commiefornia resident looking to purchase a long rifle without a bullet button?
I am debating either a mini 14 tactical or some kind of vepr.
Don't want an m1a because my brother already has one
>>29210433
Move to AZ, UT or NV!
>>29210454
This.
You could get one of those retarded 'non pistol grip' stocks for an AR-15.
Keltec SU-16 but that's a gamble considering their quality.
Mini-14 because lol bill ruger... burn in hell jackass.
Hm... not sure what else OP.
>>29210433
Niggers ain't got shit on Spanish and whites.
What's a good high capacity pistol for a small woman?
Is a bersa even deadly?
>>29210366
Glock 26
A good high capacity pistol for a woman is a good high capacity pistol for a man. You're a pussy if you can't show a Woman how to handle the same weaponry. Don't cheat them on defense.
>>29210366
If you're a woman you don't need a gun, god gave you other means of survival.
Drop your panties and bend over, once the rape is finished your attacker will leave you unscathed.
