Hey, /k/. Got a problem.
I told you all I was buying AR kits to build with my dad and brother for christmas...give us a break from assembling kids toys and build grown up ones instead.

Well, my brother's wife 86'd the idea. His gun safe is full and there's no room for an ar15. So I built his and kept it. Built one with my father for him. Just generic carbines, nothing special. Anderson lowers, PSA melonite builds.

So, my problem is, I have a leftover AR15 lower. Its crying to me in the closet. What do I build with it? Flat top 20"? 300 blackout? Help me out...

tl/dr have a 16" ar15 carbine and a lower, trying to figure out what to do with the lower.

Do what I'm doing op. I've got a spare lower I'm going to use for a pdw build. I'm going to run the Troy M7A1 pdw stock kit with a ten inch barrel.

I own a business which purchases gold and diamonds and recently have been purchasing from a retired marine. This gentleman did 12 years in the corp, and asked if I was interested in buying some firearms. I explained I cannot buy them with or at the business but may be interested in the personally. Anyway, long story short he's got a Dragunov, and a Singer 1911. I don't yet know for sure is it is a Chinese made Dragunov or Russian, but it is a Dragunov as he showed me a picture of it and it definitely has the 1 piece for grip (not psl). How much does a Russian Dragunov go for in the U.S.? I've seen the Chinese variant for sale for around 5k but can't find a Russian anywhere and have to come up with an offer above 350. Any advice /k?

I'm going with Hitler invading Russia.

Germany was doing pretty well against the Allied powers up till they had to divert troops and materials to fight on the Eastern Front.

It's likely they would have been able to hold on to Europe even in the face of the Allied Invasions.

I think that did more to hasten the end of WW2 than anything else.

Italy failed to invade Greece, which required German intervention. This delayed Barbarosa several months, and meant winter set in before campaign goals were completed.

Let's reiterate the fuckup here.

Italy, failed to invade fucking Greece.
>>
>>28326873

I read a story about how Rommel tried to lead only Italian troops in a battle in North Africa since his German troops failed, thinking the Italians would fare better under direct German command.

They lost. Apparently the Italians just suck at fighting overall.

I just can't remember the name of the battle. It was before Tobruk, IIRC.

Sup /k/, merry christmas.

Would it be possible to modify a revolver in a way that would allow it to shoot backwards (towards the shooter) just by twisting a small lever?
I'm reading a book and some dude made some other dude kill himself by handing him a 'special' revolver that was modified to do just that... so basically the dude tried to shoot someone but shot himself instead because the revolver was switched to 'backwards fire'.

Would that be possible at all, without a fuck huge obviously out of place contraption?

I'm guessing the author is full of shit and it's a really shitty cop out / plot twist in an otherwise great book, but I thought I'd ask you first.

Cheers

I'm thinking about it and maybe you could make it so a round is loaded backwards and the lever would maybe cock a hidden hammer that would go into the barrel and connect the trigger to that... the part where the actual hammer etc is would also have to be like a barrel, and the whole mechanism would have to move out the way when the trigger is pulled, so the bullet won't be obstructed.

But I'm not sure if that's possible. Maybe with Kraut space magic but even then it would have to be a gun specially designed to do that, and why would you use a revolver for that...

Idk the book was great so far but now I feel like what the fuck am I reading
>>
>>28326251
you could probably rig something that would cause an obstruction between the bullet and the barrel, something like a pin inside the cylinder gap.

it wouldn't fire backwards but probably fuck up the guys hand, maybe cook off the other rounds in the cylinder.
>>
>>28326331
Well in the book there is a clean entry wound caused by a bullet in the guys head, so it can't be that. So there would have to be a way to have a barrel at the back of the gun...

Or maybe you could build the revolver so that it would basically have a small barrel at the back that was hidden, that you could load with 1 shot. And the lever would somehow disconnect the trigger from the normal firing mechanism and connect it to the hidden one, basically like a select fire switch....

I guess it could be possible with a really elaborate design made from scratch, but it would be very hard to conceal such a device in a normal looking revolver and it would be obvious what happened to anyone who found the body and gun.

Really fucking far fetched desu senpai

O/k/, guys. this is the 'what to buy' thread to end all 'what to buy' threads.

Lettuce debate and derive the best options for new and current gun owners under the following categories of weaponry.

>Target/range

>Hunting/game

>'Operator/Luk @ my 1337 setup'

>Classic/antique

>Handfuns: CCW/Open Carry

Also I have this year's 'Shooter's Bible' for reference, can post pictures of requested firearms with specifications and presumed MSRP.

This could be fun, so let's be constructive and learn eachother some good stuff!

I'll start with my opinion on the Classic/Antique category. I believe that with regard to quality of manufacture, reliability, and overall firepower, a really strong contender is the M1 Garand. Not as a meme, but as a serious rifle. .30-06 is a really powerful caliber, ammo is relatively affordable for plinking at the range occasionally, and it can be modified for hunting use if need be.

Pricing can be between $400 and $2000 depending on age/quality/design.

Thoughts?
>>
For CCW, I'd venture the Ruger LCP is a strong contender. Very discrete, low capacity, but firing .380 hollowpoints this thing can really pack some punch. Pic related, IV8888's flesh test of the .380 hollow point

It happens.

China has taxi-trialed its first serial production J-20 today. Maiden flight soon.

No prototypes anymore. Yellow primer and serial number "2101", indicating that it is the 1st of the "100" lot of LRIP planes.

>"By the time China introduces the J-20 into service, the US will already have 6th Gen en masse"

Hopefully, those fags will eat their words, as promised.

Also, looks like China will get their 5th gen slightly sooner than Russia. Impressive, considering that they began a year later than them.
