Alright /k/, I've got $900 and I want to ask y'all about what I should buy next. I've been eye balling a Argentine Mauser 1909 for $650 ($720) after taxes. It's numbers matching, shiny bore, stock and finish is perfect. Thing is though, I don't really have a "fighting rifle". All I own is milsurp. This is the first time i'm going to spend more than $600 on any firearm. So any advice is appreciated. Any 1909 owners? Pic related.

Get an AK.
You're probably no excellent marksmen and that magazine capacity is just gay.
Good for hunting , if thats all you ever plan to do.
Guy is throwing in some 7.65 dies and brass. I may just start reloading for 8mm, 7.65, and 54r if I buy the 1909

Given the kind of wars America is currently fighting, how important is stealth really for fighter aircraft?
Wouldn`t you rather have ten F-16s than one F-22?
>>28021258
We dont even have airplane to airplane combat anymore, we should just use mobile launchers. Imagine how much money we could save if we just tomahawked everything.
>>28021284
Actually an aircraft delivering bombs is more cost effective, per sortie. A smart cruise missile has a high cost just for one sortie.

Does anyone else really not like handguns?
I was going to get a handgun to shoot but I really would prefer a long gun because honestly I am worried I will commit suicide with a handgun, whereas it is alot harder to turn a longer gun around and aim it at myself.
Has anyone else felt similarly?
Its kinda like when I'm afraid of heights; I'd never jump in a million years, even back when I really wanted to die. Because falling to me is just the worst way to die, even though it;s over pretty quick. But like, the possibility that I COULD jump, or that the bridge would collapse, is what kept me away from the edge, even when there was a railing. A full window was better, but it still freaked me out.
Same with handguns it feels like it's too easy one night when I'm sad to just pick up and put next to my ear. I don't have to even go through the trouble of hanging up a rope and stepstool, I can just go for a walk somewhere there won't be much to clean up. But with a longer gun, it's like, it's too long to point at my head and still pull the trigger without a stick or something. Like that will make it suddenly safe. It's a weird feeling.
Anyone else feel this way?

>because honestly I am worried I will commit suicide with a handgun
If this is a real concern for you then you shouldn't be around any firearms period. Yes, you can shoot yourself with a full length rifle or shotgun. People do it every day.
Also /k/ isn't your shrink so go get help with your problems.
>>28021128
>I am worried I will commit suicide with a handgun
You should not own firearms period.

Do us all a favor and don't buy any kind of fire arms.
Admit it, /k/. They aren't very practical, but they ARE the trademark of badassery and vengeance.
>>28021082
Are you fucking stupid?
Gloves are highly practical.
>>28021082
In mad max he has an honestly good reason for it. its an arm cannon that can be used while operating innacar.
>>28021105
Yeah. Most people don't know this but they can actually protect your hand from heat and cold. No shit!
Most people just assume it's a fashion accessory, but they're actually quite functional
Can anyone value this pistol for me? Some guy wants to trade it for my AR which I have about 1380 into and Im trying to figure out how much its worth, I see them going for anywhere between 700 and 2500 dollars.
Its a Polish P35, all matching serials, with the takedown lever, the grips may not be original. but it is Nazi Marked and would look nice next to my P38.

Which makes more sense for the average Joe self defense round. Why is the .38 round more costly than the 9mm but less penetration and stopping power?
>>28021020
9mm for your average Joe. More capacity, better price, etc etc.
More guns are made for 9mm.
>>28021020
>stopping power
>hey guys why is .32RF so expensive if it's shit
How did you find out about /k/?
>>28020981
If I told you, then I'd have to kill you.

I started browsing 4chan around 8 years ago. Started off at /b/, as most do. After awhile, I migrated to other boards. Mostly /tv/ and /k/.
It was just another board on 4chan I had interests in.
Is this a good amount of ammo for a bug out bag? All I have is a 10/22.
>Also bug out bag general thread
>>28020870
Personally I'd go with a different choice of ammo. I've found the sharp shoulder on those hollow points sometimes causes failures to feed in my 10/22. Nothing critical, but enough to shy away from as an only choice to rely on. YMMV.
It's alright. With a 10/22, win ammo will suit you just fine.
What else you got in your bag?
I'd recommend a shotgun if you can get one. Moss berg is good.
>>28020903
I'm gonna shoot some this weekend, just picked them up at cabela's for black friday. I'm interested to see how they perform.
Hey /k/, I'm not really a gun expert. I recently acquired a Peacemaker and saw that .45 colt is a fairly large round. I was wondering if .45 colt is stronger than .44 magnum, or would it be weaker because of black powder?
>>28020850
>Guize plz Google ballistic data for me
>>28020850
Why do people think .45lc is black powder?
240 grain 44 magnum

Hello /k/, nogunz /his/torian here. Could you please tell me the main differences between the two guns' bolts (tilting vs rotating)? I heard that the AK 47's rotating bolt was very similar to that of the Garand? How did this affect the guns characteristics? Which one was better?
Nobody?
>>28020633
titing bolt gun vibrate uncontrolable in fullauto because the lock and unlock action
because of this the MP-44 shoot a under power round
rotaing bolt have a much more smooth unlock antion
Garand use a two locking lug bolt, with bigger bolt face, first Kalashnikov use a two locking lug bolt with small bolt face, AK-46 and AK47 use a two locking lug bolt, with bigger bolt face. yes the AK bolt is similar to Garand
>Which one was better
rotating bolt, every modern rifle use rotating bolt
>>28020737
>>28020633
Albeit similar to a garand the actions were and are still unique from eachother.
My dad had this in my garage anyone know any more info about it?
its a pointy object
Its an oriental anal vibrator!
Alright /k/ why the fuck does my .223 look like a bic pen?
How about getting a haircut you fucking hippie
>>28020538

This is random, but are there any /k/ommandos around Austin, TX that have access to any land for shooting?
I've got a bunch of funs that I've never shot and I hate going to ranges, but I don't know anyone here with land.

>>28020367

You wanna talk on email? maybe we can go shooting together sometime!
>>28020378

>>28020422
Sure, you have kik? Can trade emails there.
Hey, /k/,
I'm building a kit right now, and I'm looking at different camos. I think Multicam would be best for my region (pic related). Does anyone have suggestions?
Also, general "what camo do you use" thread.
>>28020309
I have multicam. The desert and forest mix pretty well with the pattern.
