Was the AR style charging handle a good design? Would it have been better if it used a more standard style charging handle like most other rifles?
It's an alright design, it keeps your hands away from the chamber during manipulation, doesn't reciprocate, and allows the weapon to have an easily usable dust cover, but it also means you cannot slam the bolt into battery normally, requiring a forward assist.
Side charging designs are more intuitive I think.

its what I hate most about the AR, wish it was left hand charging.

AR platform is a shit platform

Find the one that SK's the most S's and get that one.
Chinese type 56 should do the trick.
>>28321430

What are some basic skill sets that are necessary for survivalist situations, like natural disasters, as well as SHTF-type scenarios like societal collapse, civil war, etc?
Specifically, what skills would be useful to both you as an individual and to those around you, possibly as a member of a larger group? Skills like being able to set up communication systems, basic engineering and construction skills, electrical engineering, metallurgy and machinist skills, explosive handling, hunting, bushcraft, etc?
As much as I would like to save my own ass in an emergency, I feel like I would have a moral obligation to help others and contribute positively. I really don't feel like I have a hell of a lot of experience to offer at the moment though.
Fishing and bushcraft probably

How would you go about training a hippo for home defense? They are strong, aggressive, and deadly.
How do we weaponize the hippo? I need one to protect my home.
Pic related. It's hippos killing the child of another one who infringed on their territory.
Id sooner get fucking bears and tigers in my house than a hippo
>>28320939
first you'd have to train it not to fall through the floor into the basement
>>28320970
Who you kidding op lives in a single wide no chance the floor would survive

one of my favorite shows, also, Orel's dad had a nice armory

fuck you clay. you are a piece of shit father.
They seem VERY similar.
I want a cheap shtf battle rifle so ill feel better while i save up and buy something better.
What do yall think? I love thr sks, but i dont wana pay $350 for a $200 rifle. I see the simplicity of the vz2008 and it reminds me of the sks, but with a threaded barrel. Its also a newer rifle, so i wont be getting some beat all to hell relic.
But sks kicks so much ass. I think that whole slam fire issue is a plus, in heavy combat the pin gets stuck and voila, full auto.
>>28320659
>sks and vz2008 are very similar
>either one, a battle rifle
NO.

Whats wrong with x39?
Oh wow OP I laughed at your post, well written satire humor.
Well played.
Sup /k/, recently got an old milsurp rifle. It's got the standard array of bumps and bruises, but this dent is rather annoying. It's right where I hold the stock and the texture is unpleasant.
Is there any way to fix a dent like this?
>>28320563
Damp rag and a laundry iron, the heat and water should cause the wood to swell out, you may need to sand it down a bit though.
>>28320588
Thanks for the advice. Any way to do it without fucking up the finish?
>>28320610

Recently built a potato gun. I fucked with it for a bit and it is fun, but i feel like it is missing something. Pic not related
>General potato gun thread
>how did you make your potato gun special
Make APFSDS for it.
>>28320228
Make a mount for it a jerry rig mortars for it. I recommend a remote trigger unless your a fan of shrapnel in you.
