How long could Chile last in a war with Argentina? To my understandings, the Chilean Armed Forces are better equip and train in comparison to the Argentinians, but with the Geographical layout of Chile, how could they possibly defend their insane border? Or how could they protect Santiago from being overran?

Well, some people have acquired some of the new M855A1 ammunition that the US Army started issuing and have tested it against various AR500 plates, including newer NIJ III+ variants, the results aren't good.

I'm putting a CNC Router together because I plan on making myself a shitload of stuff I've been wanting but haven't had access to.

To what extent can aluminium be used in guns? If I wanted to make an aluminium sks bolt carrier would it explode in my face?

That being said, what would you guys like to see made? Not looking to turn a profit, just ideas for shit to consider.

>inbr buy a mill

I've made up my mind

I'm really interested in getting one of CZ's bolt action rifles, I'm just a little curious about a few things.

Can you reload them with the magazine still in the rifle, and what's the build quality like?

Ever want to have a good giggle? Read an Australian article on the Adler A110 and the sheer scaremongering that goes into it. The comments just seal the deal.

Well /k/ I got hired to work the gun counter at the largest fun store in the state. At first it was exciting but here's been the majority of my first week.

>"I need a holster for a 9mm"
I'll help you find one. What gun is it?
>"9mm"
Right. What brand is it?
>"9mm"
*sigh* Do you have the gun with you?
>"no. but it's 9mm"

>"i'd like a gun for my wife"
okay. you have a general idea of what to get?
>"i'm not sure. something for my wife"
umm... Has your wife had experience handling a gun before?
>"not sure. She shot my gun."
Okay. I'm sure we can find something similar to it.
>"Oh no. She didn't like shooting mine"
...okay... you thinking revolver? automatic?
>"I'm not sure"
umm... well we have these Smith snubbies. Those are very popular with the ladies
>"Nah. She wouldn't like that"
Okay. How about a nice compact .380. Those are also popular with ladies. Here's a Ruger LCP
>"No. I don't think she'd like that".
...Sir, do you see anything in these cases you think she might like?
>"I don't know"

>"So how hard you think that bitch Hilary is gonna make things for guys like us if she becomes president"
I'm not sure sir. She's pretty unpopular around here. Can I help you with something?
>"Yeah. That bitch is gonna do everything in her power to ruin the fabric of American society."
Sir. I-
>"Just like that goddamn Muslim Obama. I tell ya, when the revolution begins this is the first place I'll be coming to"
Right... Can I show you anything from the counter or...?
>"I tell ya, I don't know what's going through their minds"
Sir, I gotta go get something from the back.
>*starts bitching about politics to my co-workers*

Any good book recommendation boys? I'm look for something non-fic to read. I've already read Sniper One and I'm thinking about picking up Lone Survivor because my roommate swears up and down its great. But I'd like something without a movie made about it.

Hey /k/, are there any good online databases that have detailed information on the background, development, and operation of the Super Bug? I'm going to write a paper on the Super Bug but I can't find detailed information about the exact improvements over the legacy hornet and all the details regarding its testing, operation, current equipment and its implementation in the strike role specifically. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
