Ok so /k/ is the best place to get the most unfiltered and honest opinions on guns and gear, but you have to put up with a sizable amount of shitposting.
Reddit gun subreddits are probably the biggest circeljerks you can find on the web, with most of it shit and the minority being useful info.
Weapons specific forums (FALfiles for instance) are pretty good for specifics if you know precisely what you're after.
Are there any other sources I'm missing?
Also, why do so many anons shit on leddit? The non firearms related subreddits are complete shit, but I know a share amount of you are redditors because I've seen the same exact gun pictures posted here and on r/guns, r/mosinnagant, r/firearms, r/glocks, etc.

So I make one stupid purchase after the sandy vag scare because a friend said "hurry and buy ak" and nobody told me otherwise. I regret it myself all the time as well, but there's no fixing it unless I can jew it onto some idiot if we have another scare.

This thread is for bitching and moaning about anything in the gun industry or community. New guns, failed guns, schools that screw people over, that fat fuck Larry Vickers, just whatever.
What's grinding my gears today?

I hate the majority of the firearm community because they're not autistic robots like me and thus succumb to myth perpetuation without ever checking the facts.

>succumb to myth perpetuation without ever checking the facts.
Why the fuck is this so common with gun owners? You could seriously start a thread on /k/ with something like "Obama is going to restrict guns base on your child support payments" and in no time people would be repeating that shit in other threads.

>>28273310
To be fair I'd wager a portion of it is just memeing fuckheads, baiters, etc that want to fuck with people.
But the fuck it spreads and it's trollucrative to use it as bait says something about the community.

Looks like the Chinese now have a Growler based on the Flanker platform.
It even has similiar wingtip jamming-receiver pods like the AN/ALQ-218 on the EA-18G Growler...

One can also see the small antennae ontop the pods.
The engines seem to be WS-10s, which would be another evidence that the maturity of chinese engine tech is coming along.

Compared with the standard J-16, the J-16 EW (or "JD-16" according to rumors), has no gun and a different shorter radome for a EW-capable AESA radar. It's actual electronic attack pods have not been revealed, but they are likely AESA based like the New Generation Jammer as well, since China has shown similiar systems on the Y-8 based EW planes already.
The lack of a gun is also a 'feature' of the Growler, btw.

What does /k/ think of tanks with big ass radar boxes?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VH9yXTSMZ8c
Anyone know Russian? What is says about those big ass radar boxes? Also I don't think this tank will survive CQC.
Looks like its copied from that old Japanese tank with the single big box.

From what I understood, they predict where a shell would land.

Pretty much every artillery system has a radar for measuring the gun's muzzle velocity and improving the accuracy of its barrage.
They even fit them on field guns like the L118 and M777 nowadays

Could the British have won (or even survived) WWII with only Russian assistance?
If America had stayed out of the European War and had focused purely on the Pacific War, could the British have held on on their own?

They outproduced the germans in every department.

>>28272872
The Germans couldn't win the air war against Britain, they couldn't hope to defeat the Royal Navy, and any invasion across the Channel given the previous two points would have been an absolute slaughter. So no, they were never going to defeat Britain.
>>
>>28272872
They would have survived, but they'd never be able to open the second front the Russians NEEDED.
Only the Americans had the actual manpower and material to do that

So how bad do you guys think the panic buying is going to get? Right now it doesnt se too bad but a lot of budget rifles and stuff seem to be going quick. What do you guys think we have to look forward to in the coming year? Is it worth panicking?

Looking go buy either a Mossberg 500 or Mossberg Maverick to store at home for home-defense. Leaning towards Maverick, currently, since I've read they are basically the same, but only at a cheaper price.
Thoughts and opinions on these two? Any other recommendations are welcome.
I just need to wait the ten days, right? I'm in [spoiler]California

If you love America more than your money get the 500. If you love your money more than your country. Get the 88. The quality changes are not parts that wear-down.

Also leaning towards Maverick because 88 is my birth year; forgot to mention that.
Is 500 bantum okay? It's a youth model, and it seems appealing because it'll take less space in storage. Anyone one have experience with bantums? It's not like it's too small, right?

I am a male-to-female transgender person living in a very conservative neighborhood. I have plans to move to a more tolerant location in a couple more years, but until that time I need protection. I fortunately know of a gun dealer who would sell me a gun since I've gotten to know him better and he doesn't really care about what I am as long as he gets his money and that I do not use it for anything illegal.
Now what kind of gun should someone like myself get? I am thinking of a handgun, of course, like a pistol. but I am fairly new to the world of guns. What do you think, /k/?
Also, other than gender dysphoria which is well under control now, I am perfectly sound mentally.
This is not a troll. I came here since you seem to be better experts on this subject than Reddit.
Pic is just a handgun. Needed to upload something. I haven't visited 4chan in some time and back when I was active I mostly spent time on the text boards. Sad to see them go read only.

1) Fuck you. No one gives two shit ls about your snowflake status. Do you actually think Sig Sauer or Glock has a special "Transgender Line" of products? Again, fuck you.
2) Buying a gun from a drug dealer and not a gun store (especially given that you're so mentally sound and all) is a great idea. You should totally do that.
3) Fuck you.

Well /k/, I had to have the inevitable conversation about guns with my dad today while I was home for the holidays. I talked about how I wanted a "good bolt action" and he keeps trying to talk up modern Savage Arms guns and other sad polymer tacticool garbage. I kept showing him a bunch of mosin nagants that I was eyeing at the local gun show and he can't understand why I want one. It certainly doesn't help that he was a long time veteran in the Navy, and is extremely hesitant to give the Russians any credit for any firearm that they have ever produced. I explained how it is a legendary rifle, and the conversation that followed was... painful
>"Well if you buy an old shitty rifle but you can't find ammo for it because it sells some weird round then it's useless."
>It occurred to me he has no idea what 7.62 is.
>"Where did you even get this idea to get this gun? Did you just come up with it?"
>I eh... I go on a web forum about guns and military stuff and it's basically the gun mascot
"Well is this a web forum about gun enthusiasts or gun professionals? I mean you go on that web forum and you don't know anything about guns."
>Implying I don't know anything about guns because I don't know anything about his Fudd trash
>Don't have the heart to tell him I got it off 4chan /k/ because that would be a whole other conversation I didn't want to have
>Politely remind him that the mosin has been used in every major conflict since the Boxer Rebellion
>"So have rocks."
How do I make him see reason? Is it even worth it at this point?
