Other than bong and common wealth forces using suit scopes on inch pattern FALs, did any other nation field optics on their FALs?

Trying to decide between getting an AR, FAL, or PTR, but I hate rails.

>I hate rails.

FAL has SUIT; PTR has Hensodlt claw mount. AR can use carry-handle mount. Pick whichever you like best; for the FAL and PTR you'll pay about as much for the optic as you will for the rifle.

I remember seeing some SUITs on Rhodie rifles.

Also the mount sucks. The rivets on mine keep coming loose.

What exactly is the appeal of the ak in recent times?

With prices of ak's reaching all time highs of $600+ for the cheapest lowest quality variants, a similar priced ar can be bought with much higher quality and workmanship put into it. Another factor to consider is the availability of ammunition, which the ak market relies heavily on surplus and new production out of country. Meanwhile the ar platform has 223/556 produced right here in the states and almost any and all sporting goods store stock it.

200.

The only reason I'd want to restore it is for ascetics I haven't gotten to shoot it yet because .303 is hard to find around me but it seems to operate smoothly

Yep, being a nice big target is always an advantage. Forget being able to take cover, the bullets will turn around and hit their manlet shooters when you tell them you're height.

endurance
>and why is it height
Height admittedly plays into endurance (longer steps, fewer steps), but is not the most important quality.

Hey everyone! Been a while.
I just wanted to give you an update on the 7.62x54R SMLE conversion I did a while back. I have an interesting observation, and thought I would share it:

Barrel harmonics. I'm getting EXACTLY the same harmonic problem that a Mosin Nagant gets (hence the corked barrels and shims) in the SMLE barrel. I thought it was a bullet size issue at first, but slugging the bore ruled that out, and... get this... corking the barrel of the SMLE fixed it!

There's just something inherent in 7.62x54R that makes relatively thin barrels more prone to harmonics issues than other cartridges, even ones that are similar, like .303 British.

Any ideas why?

>>
Don't know why, but that's probably the motive why russia passed to a fatter barrel with the svdm
>>
>>28040430
Possibly. I had some passing idea that it has to do with being a rimmed cartridge, but I can't think of any other rimmed cartridges that exhibit this same behavior.

Then again, probably very few people have converted an SMLE, and of those even fewer would be likely to notice the issue, so it may be that I've discovered something entirely new to the firearms world.
>>
>>28040289
I know nothing about conversions. What do you have to alter and how do you go about it?

I played the closed beta and I'm going to try the open beta with more of the spetsnaz guys probably tomorrow. Its fun, definitely not a cod clone. When your assault team works together and has a massive dynamic entry its awesome.
>>
>>28039923
yeah we coordinated a 5 way attack through the windows and took out their whole team in under 10 seconds. when your team knows what they are
doing it can be awesome.

i do think the damage model could be tweaked or have a realism mode, so its like 2-3 shots to take a bad guy down.

Hello America,

27 year old ex-NEET from Europe here. I just inherited a shitload of money. As I love weapons and greasy food, I decided to move to the US. I'll buy a nice house and enjoy your culture.

What state would you recommend for me? Which one has the best weapon laws? I want to collect them. All kinds. Because I fucking love shooting and shit.
The only us state with great weapon laws i can think of is Texas. But I don't want to live there, I'd prefer something a bit more cold and with big ass forests. The kind of forest I heard a lot about, the ones you can get lost in without ever being found.

So, what can you recommend?

Alaska

What happened to that cat!?
>>
>>28039784

How are their weapon laws? Are you allowed to own everything from .22 to small artillery?

That's actually an idea, I'm going to read into Alaska. Is there something in between Texas and Alaska when it comes to the climate? Something in the North? With good weapon laws ofc

I think it's about to have a surgery done or something. I just noticed there's a 9gag stamp, sorry for that. My gf sent it to me. I'm moving to the US alone anyways.

What's the max distance .22lr can fly accurately?

I don't mean deliver enough power to kill anything, I mean a distance it can hit at a man-sized paper target.

>>28039661
I'm asking seriously. I'm a noob that never shot anything apart from .22lr but I have a 200m range nearby that I would like to start shooting at.

No idea if buying .22lr rifle makes sense, or do I need to buy something in, say, .308 for that distance.
>>
>>28039706
For 200m you could do a .223/5.56 ez

.308 would work obviously, but if you learnt on a smaller calibre then moved up would probs be better imo.

He was a political figurehead to rally behind, but his military career was teetering on the edge of fucking disaster.

Friendly reminder, he's the person who set off the french and indian war when her tried to take fort sumter in 1755.

Recommend me a new plate carrier. I plan to put ceramic level IV SAPIs in it. I understand that will be expensive. What's the consensus on the top carriers?

>>28039564
Ar500 brand has level 4 ceramics. And 3+ ar500s are good.

LBT or shellback banshees are typically suggested but I went with a Russian 6b45 because it was like 170 for a PC with soft armor. Its like 200-250 for the plates so I'll pick those up soon as well.
