pic related is my Rex compound bow.
It's pretty good, I got mostly because it's compact as fuck. The arrow in the pic is 28 inches for scale. Draw weight goes up to 65 out the box.

survival against what? wouldn't a bow for survival just primarily be for hunting?
>shtf
how is this different from survival?

Yes, being made of cloth it has a multitude of uses. You can use it to fucking hang yourself for needing the input of a Somalian knitting club on the uses of a piece of fucking cloth

400,000?
Lets break those numbers down.
There are 31920 gun deaths a year in the USA (CDC, 2013)
There are 21,175 gun suicides a year in the USA (CDC, 2013
That leaves 10745 homicide, accidental, or defensive gun deaths in the USA.
Of those 10745, 8454 are homicides.
Of those 8454, 80% are gang related http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr61/nvsr61_06.pdf
Thats approx 6763 gang-related gun homicides.
That leaves the USA to have 1691 deaths from non-gang related homicides or accidental firearm use.
Factor in the 600 accidental gun deaths, thats 2291.
The US population sits around 321,000,000.
Your chances of dying this year from non-gang related homicide or accidental firearm use is 7.1x10^-6, or .00000716 percent.
The chances of you being struck by lightning this year is only half as likely from non-gang related homicide or accidental firearm use.

I think a lot of people forget that most gun deaths are suicides, and yet we don't really have a high suicide rate.

Ask him how many of those deaths are from black-on-black violence.

>>28663235
Lemme break down your breakdown...
You see, a major philosophy in American society, is the freedom to make your own decisions.
And forcing people to do something they don't want to do when it has no effect on you is a douche move.

I'm assuming this is the most appropriate board to post this on?
If some guy for whatever reason decides to attack/assault/try to kill my dog, do I have the right to shoot/debilitate him?

As I told the missus afterwards, "I immediately regret offering to sell my gun to that guy." Fortunately, while I got his contact info, he never got mine. So at least he's not gonna chase me up about it any time soon.

This is coming from a guy who doesn't hunt, but I dont see the issue about not respecting the animals he kills. In Australia, practically every animal is trying to kill you, or wants to kills you. I don't see a problem with taking joy in killing stupid animals that would murder you and rape your dog while your wife and kids watch.
>>
>>28662357
The things that want to kill us are the goddamn snakes and spiders. Kangaroos can gore you, but they're typically pretty skittish creatures. Usually they only fight if cornered and wounded.
And most of the other things we hunt are foreign invasive species that other countries hunt anyway, like razorback hogs, deer, etc.

>None of us will live long enough to see the next golden age of firearms experimentation
I'm getting sick of everything getting churned out these days being another striker fired polymer 9mm or the 7000th piston driven attempt at an AR/AK killer with a monolithic rail (failing to realize it's not going to dethrone the AR/AK if they market it at twice the cost of them)
Shit mang, just imagine what crazy designs will be made when they manage to make batteries that could support laser or gauss rifles, hell, even practical caseless ammo could lead to some cool shit.

I don't know if we'll see practical caseless ammo or personal railguns any time soon, but telescoping polymer cased ammo looks very promising. Maybe its benefits vs the M4 will make the military switch over to using it.

Hey /k/ do spaceships belong to the navy or the air force or its own separate branch? If so would it render the latter two obsolete?

Its own branch.

I would imagine the two would conduct operations on other planets alongside earth, so no.

Navy. They already dominate the Sea and Air. Why not give them the space ocean as well.

Why did the US never adopt the FAL??
Also, could the SCAR series be considered the FAL's successor?

because the FAL is one letter away from FAIL

Because the US had already made a shitload of M14s.
By the time the original M14 production run was no longer adequate, the SCAR existed.
Besides, the AR-10 was always, always, always a better rifle than the FAL.

So /k/ I come to you with a question. I'm in the market for a 6 inch 357 magnum revolver and have narrowed it down to the Ruger GP100 and the S&W 686+. I like both, but I'm leaning towards the S&W because it seems more refined and has an extra shot. What I'm worried about is that damn "Hillary Hole" on the smith. I've only heard of the lock failing once and that wasn't even proved it was the lock in the first place. Am I worried about nothing or should I just stick to the ruger? I'm also looking at the GP100 Match Champion but that's a 4 inch and I'm really wanting a 6 inch to utilize that 357 goodness better. So which one is best in your opinion?

Personally I lean towards Ruger.
>cheaper
>insanely durable
>lots of insurance for retard-tier handloads
>no HH
>much simpler internals, you can actually take it apart in the field
Downsides.
>Slightly heavier.
>Not as polished, but that's perfectly fixable.
Personally I have a Security Six and I have in fact once taken it apart using only a dime.

>>28661409
Seconded. It's the closest thing to indestructible you can get with a functional firearm.

Good points, Ruger's customer support is top notch. I also like how easy it is to change the front sight to whatever you like. The price is also more attractive but not really an issue. That 6 inch GP100 is certainly a looker too in its own right. Fuck I wish S&W did away with those fucking locks.
why are some gun owners complete autists?
anyone got anymore stuff like this?

I went on raves in Germany. I probably got a lot of pussy judging by how often it burned when I peed, but I remember little of it. In the middle east "fraternization" was a court's marital offense, but it happened enough to other people. I wasn't gonna risk it though, because I was kinda "that guy" and was under scrutiny for other reasons.

If you have a thick beard and a pissed off look yeah the Sadie women would be all over you but if you have a clean shaved face and a "please give me sympathy" look then no the Sadie women would not want to be near you.
