If by destroying, you mean to completely vaporize, then no. We could probably break of large chunks little by little.

...But why?

>How effective are modern anti-missile defenses?

Most threat profiles are handled pretty well, both ballistic and aerodynamic, both subsonic and supersonic.

Subsonic saturation attacks (unless completely overwhelming) have also been something that can now be handled as most modern radars have moved to active phased arrays (APAR, Poliment, AMDR) and can handle more uplinks.

The type of threat that we have very little experience with is something called "Threat D", a subsonic target that suddenly becomes supersonic. USN and other Western navies do not currently have a target drone to simulate that sort of threat profile and it their sensors are currently not optimized for it.

Other than that, air defenses have seen a huge upswing in potential in the last 15 years. And while offense has also improved, it's not so dire as it was in the 70's.

So far it seems like they're better at blue-on-blue than doing their actual job.
Just sayin'.

how about you fuck off

>>28048842
Why do you respond to an active shooter? Why cant you just ignore him or tell him your busy?

>active shooter
>new word
"Active shooter" is a term that cops have been using for a long time to refer to someone who is (wait for it) currently shooting some place up.

>>28048812
it cant punch through it doesnt even have hands

Dude no you can't do that, don't you know that's how you wake up Gamera?

Ain't it got one of them sonar bubble things up front?

Marlin 22 and a Weatherby Vanguard in .223

Currently looking to either buy or rent a different property. Current landlord doesn't want a safe bolted into 2 immovable surfaces - and there's no where I know of in WA that let's you store your funs.

Looking at an Enfield, full stock if I can find one for reasonable. I'll settle for a sporterised at this point though.

What state you in?

What gun are you currently waiting to get licensed /k/angaroos?
>Just picked up my Mauser K98 today

What have you shot recently?
>Took all the guns down to a friends place who just finished his high school certificate, Mag dumped (as well as you can) with a Nugget, .22, air gun and Double barrel shotgun

Have you got an adler yet?
No I keep spending my money on milsurp guns

>>28048740
WA also mate, where'd you buy the Vanguard and are they still on discount?

>>28048585
Fuck it I just did it. Fair warning to any other californianons that decide to get a black powder revolver. Any experienced bp shooters know how long these caps will last stored properly?

I got a couple hundred extra rounds and some pyrodex as well so I'll get to have a nice long rage day whenever these come in, but I really have no idea how long it will take me to go through 1000 caps.

Apparently there are some places to get genuine black powder out in LA, but fuck going out there. I'll pay a $20 hazmat fee over $30 in gas and being stuck in traffic any day.

>>28048783
>genuine black powder
why?

I have some caps that are about 35 years old, and are still good. They aren't even CCI- they're CVA.

Try Calguns. California has 20% of all the shooters in the US.

How's your house laid out?
Im in an apartment with a spiral staircase to the master bedroom. Going down stairs with long gun is a no go. Also I'm a huge taget coming down.

You should be able to manipulate the weapon, including firig with one hand. Might have to push family members behind you.

>>28048536
>firing with one hand

This is so often overlooked as people choose scattergats for home defense. The ability to cover someone with a gun while calling for help is invaluable. Consider that speakerphone may be difficult to use after shooting inside without hearing protection.

Wear one of those rubber bedrolls that try sell for kids who wanna go to slumber parties but piss themselves. You will be insulated against the attack and if you aren't, at least you won't get piss everywhere

Is Yahoo! broken?

>>28048360
I've read that soldiers sometimes didn't even get to train with 30. caliber rifles in WW1, instead using .22 trainers. If this is true, absolutely.

>>28048395
Yep. .22 training Springfields and Enfields are most definitely a thing.

Because /w/ was already something else.

>>28048351
It looks like an AK. But probably because /w/ was already anime wallpapers and there wasn't many 2 letter boards at the time

Join the "No fun allowed" pool with the other Yuropoors. Or move here to the US.

>guy found a mint condition MP-40 in his basement. He reported it to the police and the police took it and destroyed it.
Find him and egg his house and beat the shit out of him please.

I don't understand this. There should be a service dedicated to preserving historical firearms.

With automated rifle manufacturing offering guns FAR more accurate than anything in the past, for lower prices

COMBINED

with the advent of better glass manufacturing tech overseas, and optics with much better features (FFP etched reticles, repeatable adjustments, large tubes, etc.) being available and affordable, we are in a golden age of long range shooting for the average consumer.

Look up some how to videos on youtube and get at least one reloading handbook (Like this one http://www.amazon.com/Hornady-Handbook-Cartridge-Reloading-Emery-ebook/dp/B00HZUXWNA/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1448947918&sr=8-6&keywords=handloading) before you blow yourself up anon

Nothing can defeat an army of midgets, except for a larger army of smaller midgets.

careful, if you lose a battle to a midget you become one.

These are the questions science needs to answer

Front sight focus is everything if you want to shoot fast and accurate.

Do some dry firing a couple of times a week.

The front sight is the important part. That's the part you're lining up with the back sight, and the part you're lining up on the target.

You won't hit anything if your sights aren't aligned and focused right.

You should focus entirely on the front sight, and observe it with the perfect presence of an uncluttered mind as you press the trigger.

You should see your sight lift the moment your handgun fires, and ideally you should see it track all the way up and then back down into the rear sight notch.

This is for slowfire accuracy. There are degrees of sight focus and acceptability when speed is involved as you gain experience, but you should investigate your front sight thoroughly before tackling anything else.
