Why buy an da/sa HK like a USP when you can just by a Sig Sp2022?
What if I want a modern .45 DA/SA pistol?

Why buy a Sig SP2022 when you can buy a P226 or even the memeish P320?
>>34768907
It's cheaper
Is the MV-22 Osprey the crashiest military aircraft in history? What the fuck is up with this thing and why is it still in use? Would love to see a body count of people killing in this deathtrap.

Per flight hour, they're the safest aircraft in the US inventory.

>Is the MV-22 Osprey the crashiest military aircraft in history?
Not even close.
S60 Blackhawk is a riskier flight and has killed more military personnel, and even the S60 Blackhawk isn't the worst.
Gentlemen, my gun just blew up... sort of.
A chunk blew out of the base of a 45ACP case and smacked my trigger finger pretty hard.
I was able to hand-cycle the case out with a bit of effort. Aside from some soot on the top round of the magazine, nothing else seems off. No cracks or damage anywhere, gun cycled a few test rounds after.
I've reloaded that cartiridge 5 or 6 times, 5.2 grains of W231.
Anybody have theories on what went wrong exactly?
>>34768776
looks like your average case rupture to me. Means the inside of your chamber is not adequately supporting the brass. post detailed pics, and don't shoot it anymore.
I'd send it to back to the manufacturer with that empty case so they can evaluate it and determine that the weapon is safe to shoot OR fix it.
Is your chamber fully supported? If yes, then maybe something wrong with your firing pin causing it to fire early?

breaking news: people in film, especially mindless redshirts, rarely get proper firearms training.
film at 11.
>>34768664
that's a main character
>>34768650
What movie
How easy would it be finding a nice silent place away from public ranges maybe somewhere out in the woods or something to do some solo shooting while avoiding people's private property?
depends where you live chum
>>34768638
What state do you live in?
Depends entirely on where you are.
Somewhere like Nevada would be incredibly simple, while Rhode Island nearly impossible.

Real talk about body armor... Why aren't dick flap plates a thing and why aren't there better options for groin protection in general? Is it just because it inhibits mobility or is there more to it?
>>34768545
Inhibits mobility, overall weight, and unfortunately it's not vital to life enough
>>34768545
Try sprinting with a 4 pound plate slapping you in the balls with every step. Not so fun now is it m8.
>>34768545
Dick flaps suck, let alone if it had a plate too.
Are these fuckers worth the extra 100-200 dollars? Trying to take my rifle home for Christmas so that my nogunz family can shoot it and I need something that won't get broken by the retards working at TSA. Every Plano or other generic brand I've looked up always has this comment:
>Well it's an alright case but it's not as durable as MUH PELICAN
Anyone that has flown with their firearms want to give an opinion?
General case/holster thread as well.
>tfw no mk18 laptop case
Is your rifle worth several thousand dollars? Yes.
Otherwise plano is absolutely fine.
>>34768540
Sig Sauer P16 Patrol. Mid-grade rifle I guess.

>The Army has identified a potential gap in the capability of ground forces and infantry to penetrate body armor using existing ammunition. To address this operational need, the Army is looking for an Interim Combat Service Rifle (ICSR) that is capable of defeating emerging threats
>The service plans to initially award up to eight contracts, procuring seven types of weapons from each gunmaker for test and evaluation purposes. Once the review is concluded, the service "may award a single follow-on Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) based contract for the production of up to 50,000 weapons," the solicitation states.
>The Army's Interim Combat Service Rifle should have either 16-inch or 20-inch barrels, a collapsible buttstock, an extended forward rail and weigh less than 12 pounds unloaded and without an optic, according to a May 31 Army request for information.
>The competition will consist of live-fire testing and evaluate the following:
>Dispersion (300m - function, 600m - simulation)
>Compatible with Family of Weapon Sights -
Individual and laser
>Weapon length (folder or collapsed)/ Weight (empty/bare) / Velocity (300m and 600m calculated)
>Semi-Automatic and Fully Automatic function testing (bursts and full auto)
>Noise (at shooter's ear) / Flash suppression
>Ambidextrous Controls (in darkness or adverse conditions) / Rail interface
>20-30 round magazine to support a 210 round combat load
>Folding sights
So anons what's the best tool for job?
>>34768464
Can't wait for the next war to be in an environment where a rifle in 7.62 nato won't perform well.

Thank kek above that RFPs rarely go anywhere.
It is Shot Show 2018, and Hi-Point Firearms suddenly unveils their biggest project for years: an experimental C9 v2, featuring a double-stack double-feeding magazine, upping the magazine capacity to 18.
Everything else about the gun stayed the exact same; in fact, only minor changes have been made to the slide and bolt to allow for the double feeding magazine to function correctly. Outwardly, it looks almost exactly the same.
Is this a big enough game changer to make Hi-Point into a serious contender for the HD and carry market?
No. At this point their reputation as nigger guns would prevent me from every buying them.
Yes. At this point their reputation as nigger guns would encourage me to always buy them.

Thoughts on Canada's C7A2?
I'm interested in joining the Canadian Armed Forces. Anyone here a member? What do you wish you knew before you signed up that you know now? How was BMQ; any tips?

There is no good reason to buy deactivated firearms.
>B-but I'm too lazy to get my firearms certificate but I still wanna gun-like object!
You're a fucking idiot for wasting your money on wallhangers, and more importantly, encouraging arseholes to destroy firearms because they can sell them to you.
You can buy perfectly functional rifles, pistols and shotguns that are unmolested, without a certificate and do the same things you'd do with them except now you actually have a working firearm.
>But it costs too much!
Bullshit. You can pick up a perfectly serviceable rifle in obsolete calibres for the same price as deactivated ones. They're also less regulated. Also, with the rifles and shotguns, once you finally get off your arse and do the very easy steps to get a firearms certificate or whatever, you've got a rifle ready to shoot! And nothing got destroyed forever.

Is there any media (TV/Film/Comics/Books) that isn't cringeworthy when it comes to guns?
Seems like everything I see is either Fudd tier or completely incorrect.
Pic related, it's from Punisher Max.
Post cringe and recommendations.
>>34767524
what cringe ? Recoil pulled barrel up, before the muzzle flash dispersed entirely

Well /k/?
.380 is a perfectly acceptable defensive carry load and has been defending/murdering people for over a century.
