Takes years of practice (like a martial art)
How advisable would you be able to use a bow in a situation?
Assuming you lived in jew york.
>>28438462
As someone who lives in neutered gun California, it is interesting to note, that when I carry a bow to to the range in Balboa Park, no one's threatened and police don't pay me any mind.
Having used a bow in an outdoor range regularly, it's common to lose sight of an arrow if you miss, and even carbon arrows are prone to damage if you hit something hard. Archery is a cheap practice if you never miss. If you get in a self defense, even if you hit, you might not get your arrows back unless you win.
Still, with practice, a steady supply of arrows, considerable knowledge of fletching and repairing wooden arrows and a bow that can accept wooden arrows, a bow maybe viable. Bows are considerably powerful, and even a low poundage bow is lethal.
>>28438702
What's the lowest poundage you'd recommend?
>>28438731
Most archery ranges start people off with 25 pounds, which includes all age groups. But I have a companion who got off will with 35 pounds. Most people are capable of bending a bow with greater poundage such as 45 pounds, but it's a different story trying to shoot it. So I would have to say 35 pounds to start.

What would be in my packing list? Its me and like 3 other bros as a hunting party. Probably would stay there for a long weekend and shoot a medium size game that is delicious and also could provide trophies.
What do? Help me with the manly arts /k/ommandos.

Safety Orange, some jerky, bogroll, plenty of water, binoculars if you have them, map+compass for when you're out of cellphone land, good boots, ear protection, gloves and other insulatory clothing. A cooler for storing your game and a vehicle capable of going offroad and hauling whatever you bring hack
As for soecific hunting gear, you'll have to ask someone whose more experienced in whatever, specifically, you plan to hunt.
So rafale-chan has been just sold to the IAF. Is this deal another nail in the coffin for the PAK-FA or is that a separate issue?
Also suddendly between Egypt, India, Quatar and the FAF, Dassault has too many orders on the Rafale. I'm actually happy the sales are taking off (UAE is also very interested) as it's a great fucking plane, on top of it looking hot as fuck

>it will now require any person involved in the fictitious entity that “has the power and authority to direct the management and policies of the entity insofar as they pertain to firearms” to submit photographs, fingerprints and submit to a NICS check.
So any Texas fags on /k/? What do you think of the open carry/cowboy carry? For or against?
I may carry my 1911 more often instead of the Glock, but now I need to get some nice high ride owb leather for it. I'll still have have a cover garment since I don't like the idea of being a ne'er do-well's first target., but it will be nice to not worry about it showing if I have to grab something off of a high shelf.
>>28434709
That's practical. I'm just afraid some dumb redneck is gonna make an issue out of it, the whole reason it's concealable is so nobody knows you have it. Toting it in the open is just asking for trouble I feel like.
OP again, thinking about getting a semi-auto. sks looks pretty good.

True but its the history I love and they can carry more weapons. Here's a rail cruiser
with all the shit going on in oregon, facebook (faceshit? shitbook?) is lighting up with people who are advocating the 'rob the store you're in and walk away if you see people open carrying'
can we get a thread of repurposed anti-gun material to spread out? pic related
Stop going to Kikebook
If you can't do that, then at least block all of your retarded liberal "friends" that post any of this shit in their feeds.

>rob the store you're in and walk away if you see people open carrying
lol wut? Is the fact most people aren't retarded enough to kill for other's property supposed to prove something?
>>28430309
it's a political statement basically "i don't approve of open carry, so i'm going to leave. I'm afraid for my life, so i'm not going to wait until I get my tab"

How would an actual starfighter work?
What would power it?
A design for both atmospheric and space flight.
Aren't there decades old designs for nuclear powered strategic bombers?
Would turbines work in space because it's not a perfect vacuum?
What about weapons, detection systems, etc?
If we put together the best technology we have right now and made a starfighter, what would it's capabilities be?
>>28428759
There would be no starfighters
Just autonomous missile boats.
>>28428759
I don't know, but I like your questions and your picture. Nice idea.
>>28428759
You fucking moron, we already had a starfighter.

Take your shit tier thread down the line
Knife Thread. Last one archived. This is my Frontier Valley by Battle Horse Knives, great EDC blade and my first midtech.
Here's my edc - LT Wright Next Gen.
Both knifemakers used to be part of Blind Horse Knives, before they split and formed Battle Horse and LTWK.
This is the blade that won me best of show. I plan on making a Makarov inspired knife tutorial if anyone is interested in following along?
Just sharpened my edc yesterday.
Post your most based /k/ webms.
Will do a mini-dump as per other board rules.
Hey /k/
I've decided to put together a bug out bag and need some advice as to which type of combat knife I should buy.
I've been reading some reviews online but I figure you guys know more on the topic, alot of reviewers tend to be idiots.
Im looking for a fixed blade obviously, the longer the better. I've been looking at ka-bars, gerbers, and columbia rivers but there are also many other brands and I dont know where to begin.
Price maximum I'd say 150$.
If you guys can help, its much appreciated.
>>28419981
Combat knives are for fags and autists with some spare money
Most real knife fights are quick and it's all stabbing.
Even "operators" employ the x-treme ancient tacticool technique of stabbing their enemies to death as quick as they can.
You can get a china 5$ dagger that's no longer than 6 inches(I'd say 4 or 5 but whatever) that's a perfectly fine "combat" knife.
Everything else is consumerism.
>>28420219
Well I'd like a knife thats all around useful in the out doors. I figured a combat knife can be used for wood, skinning, etc.

Early reports of possible nuclear test in North Korea.
Early seismic data shows it as being too deep, but 10 km is often a place holder depth while USGS gets better data.
KJU probably just slipped in the shower or something.

Chinese now reporting 0 Km depth. Probable test.

What are the advantages to sporterizing a firearm (if any). Why would anyone do it if they don't have to?
To be sporty?
Dumbass
>>28442814
Lighter for taking out in the bush for hunting with.
>>28442814
It made some sense back when a surplus Enfield was $12. Lots cheaper than an off the shelf option. Nowadays even beat to shit milsurp is worth something and many cost more than many entry level economy hunting rifles.

Is the m1 garand the ideal gun to shoot illegal mexicans with? Is 30-06 the ideal anti mexican caliber?
i like how they managed to find the whitest mexican in history
M2 Ball out of a Garand only has about as much power as 7.62x54.
If I were killing Mexicans, I'd probably get a rifle in 7mm Rem Mag or something like that and take potshots from a concealed position 800 yards or more away.
>>28440829
Why would you use M2 ball? Aren't modern hunting loads far superior?
