Why isn't 5.7 a more popular handgun cartridge?
It opens up the opportunity for ultracapacity centerfire pistols.
Everyone loves the concept behind the PMR30, so why not make an affordable pistol chambered in 5.7 with 30+ rds that isn't over-expensive polyshit like the Five-seveN?
It seems to me that a light loaded 5.7 would even be superior in a mousegun vs. .380 or 9mm, giving you 10-12rds in a pocket pistol with centerfire reliability.
The only real complaint I ever hear is cost, but that would drop like a rock if anyone fucking bothered to make guns chambered in it.

Any current serving members with ADHD on here? If so I'd like some advice.
I've been in for about two years now and I'm studying on the side. I've noticed I'm having a bit of difficulty concentrating on all this paperwork that comes along with it so I've been thinking about going to a military doc to try get this stuff perscribed to me. Don't get me wrong, I can do my job everyday just fine it's just when it comes to this study shit is where I'm having my dramas.
I'm afraid they might try and discharge me or corps transfer me if I'm identified as having ADHD.
What should I do?
>>27790142
You realize ADHD is a made up disease right?
What should you do?
Pay out of pocket and get assessed on the outside. Don't go to a psych for stupid shit like that. It's unnecessary to have that on your record and you don't even know if you have anything wrong.
Try Military OneSource and ask for a free and confidential counseling session. They will give you a mental health provider to talk to in person that the military has no way of knowing about, unless you say something that triggers a mandatory reporting. They should be able to refer you to someone who is specially trained to assess your learning abilities.
>>27790160
I've been considering getting it done on the outside, but if I get them via a civie doc and if it ever does show up in a drug test then I'm kinda fucked. I figured if I did it through the greenie weenie it would be 100% legal
Alright, /k/, help me understand something. I went to a pawn shop with a friend of mine on Monday. We live in Las Cruces, New Mexico and both play football for NMSU. We were in Albuquerque to honor my friend's cousin, a police officer who had recently died in the line of duty.
Anyway, my friend and I hit this pawn shop, and they inform him he can't by a gun because he's on a weed card. I scored a badass Mossberg 12 guage
for 200 bucks, but they told him they couldn't sell him a gun because he had a weed card.
Is this normal? Can a black man like myself on a drug treatment program for heroin and 6 felony charges with no convictions be able to by up the whole fucking gun store while his law-abiding never in his life been in trouble white friend can't get shit because he smokes weed?
Please don't make this a racial thing. What the fuck. Since when is burning a blunt worse than spiking up?
>>27790025
>law-abiding
>weed card
choose one. marijuana is illegal federally.
>>27790025
It didn't have to be a racial thing, but you mentioned your race. Now it's going to be a racial thing. Good job.
The pawn shop is probably just covering their asses since weed is still illegal at the federal level.
>>27790025
If you want to make it a racial thing
>nigger gets gun
>white boi doesn't
Doesn't sound racial at all, because everyone knows that you can only be racist toward black people and it is not possible to be racist toward white people.
Anyway, Google ATF Form 4473 (you filled it out when you bought the gun). Read the questions carefully, and if you have any questions about the questions-- read the explanation section at the back.
Somewhere in there, should explain it. The felony charges no convictions is fairly simple... no convictions. As to why you didn't get denied though based on heroin rehab that is curious as there is a question asking if you have ever been a user or addicted to certain drugs etc.
It makes sense having a weed card would get you denied as it is still illegal (hardly) at the Federal level. Still seems like you should have been denied as well... assuming you answered the substance question truthfully.
Alternate 1944 thread.
Its 1944. Four years ago Reich set its eyes on taking Africa with Iraq being a priority. In 1940 it invaded North Africa, engaging in seesaw battles with Britain. In 1942 USA hopped on the train, invaded West Africa and eventually cleared all of North Africa. US Navy and RN cleared the Mediterranean and took all relevant islands. Luftwaffe is seriously eroded by US Air Force.
It is 1944. USA is bent on taking Europe (Stalin will only join when Germany is weak enough) and has hundreds of thousands of men all over North Africa and upon british island.
What would be the best way to invade this new Europe?
As stated, Germany and USSR never go to war up and untill Awestern Allies manage to set up a large and indestructible foothold on European mainland.
All but-Stalin-would-attack posters need not apply. Stalin MIGHT attack, but in this scenario he waits to take the spoils with as much ease as possible.
>Stalin will only join when Germany is weak enough
lolwut you need to learn about the Eastern Front, Russia was kicking ass long before Normandy
>aiming for Iraq
Germany had the Eastern European oil fields
>Switzerland is grey
lolwut
They were netural, they were not invaded, had Germany tried the military would have spent so much trying to conquor it would cease to exist
>>27790042
>lolwut you need to learn about the Eastern Front, Russia was kicking ass long before Normandy
In this scenario USSR and Germany are not at war
>Germany had the Eastern European oil fields
Still brutally lacked oil
>Switzerland is grey
My bad.
>>27790009
Your alternate map doesn't make much sense, even if Switzerland is a blunder.
Denmark is invaded, but somehow Iceland stays neutral? Iceland was in a union with Denmark at the time, they got their full independence after the war. When Denmark got invaded, Iceland willingly turned into a Bong base. They couldn't stay neutral.
Also, in this map, Sweden is invaded, but not Norway. This makes absolutely no sense. First of all, Sweden woul be a lot harder to invade than Norway, since they didn't neclect their armed forces in the inter war years, compared to the utter incompetence of the norwegian armed forces. Germany still got their ball bearings and steel from Sweden during the war, and didn't need to invade it. They did need to invade Norway though, to make sure their merchant fleet doesn't fall into british hands (didn't work out too well), and to have relatively secure bases for german warships operating in the atlantic.
Also, Soviet doesn't invade Finland and take their territories, and somehow still loses Murmansk?
How did the F-14 compare to the F-15?
If it had continued being upgraded like the F-15, would it still be a contender against the modern Eagle?
Hangaaaaar Queeeeeeen
F-14 is Kawaiii....

>What is every American fighter jet ever?
So I'm a bit confused here.
These things were made to make the gun easier to carry, though from what I've heard if anyone in the army attempted to hold one by the handle the DI's would absolutely shit on them.
Why the fuck do that have carrying handles in the first place then?
>>27789846
to make them easier to carry.
>>27789850
This
>>27789850
This.
US doctrine regarding the way you carry rifles has changed is all. Not that most rifles are outfitted with carry-handle irons these days anyway. Back in the day, you could carry them by the carry handle and no one would bat an eye. I have images of the old manuals that mentioned it somewhere, but I'm too lazy to find them.
How do I kill it?

Hey, /k/. I'm working on a fantasy novel, in which one character is an emerging gunsmith, who is quite enamored about his craft, particularly his prize revolver, Thunder. He will be spending quite a bit of time talking about it's specifications, and I want to get the languages as precise as I can.
What aspects of a revolver, specifically a six-shooter, would a gun fanatic swoon over? The design is somewhat like the photo attached, but less intricate in its design. Thanks in advance for all the help.
>>27789711
>know nothing about guns
>know nothing about revolvers specially
>make a character a gunsmith that talks about his revolver
I guarantee you your novel will be fucking garbage. Just stop writing it now, save your time and effort and do something productive with your life, like shitposting on 4chan.
>>27789711
>>27789736
Yeah, maybe you should stick to writing something you know something about.
>>27789736
this desu senpai
Guise. Help me out.
Getting my first pistol down under. It's gonna be. 22 (Calibre restrictions, biggest I can get for now) it's mainly for target shooting.
Was looking at Walther. The PPQ M2 in particular. Thoughts?
Was offered a PPQ 22 Target from my local dealer for $900, with two mags. Picture very much related. Looks good, but not exactly what I'm after.
>>27789708
What other options do you have?
In my experience the Walther .22 handguns run alright for rimfire, but they're difficult to maintain.
If you can, get a Ruger Mark series. Doesn't particularly matter which model, though some are nicer than others. They're the golden standard for .22 semiauto pistols.
>>27790240
.22 Rimfiire is my only limitation.
I've used the Ruger Marks before. I do not like them at all.
>>27789708
Wait what the fuck?
How come you can't get anything above .22 as your first handgun?
Mine was a 9mm, or do you live in Victoria or an even worse shithole?
I live in kekifornia, specicially LA. I'm applying for my ccw permit.
I have to choose 3 guns I would like to carry. Problem is, my only handguns are a 92fs, 1911, and some revolvers. Not really the best ccws. I don't want to buy any small guns for concealed carry on the (good) chance that my application is denied if Peruta doesn't go well, because I would have basically no use for them at that point.
Wut do?
>>27789665
Get a smaller gun.
Wear looser shirts.
Get that deep concealment holster that people were talking about not to long ago.
>>27789665
>LA County
You're fucked, get a pocket gun anyway because why not
>>27789689
if Peruta vs SD goes favorably, self defense will be a good enough reason to apply for a ccw.
I wouldn't have any purpose for a pocket gun if I can't get a ccw though.
>>27789687
the urban carry holster? I was looking into them, I still feel like a full sized handgun wouldn't be ideal for concealed carry, even with one of those.
So I am a fedora wearing, neck beard and I discovered this site 30 minutes ago.

I know jack shit about steel, Don't even know if I can trust the reviews, but I was wondering how good is 9260 vs 1060 vs 1095 steel is for a blade? Will the swords be durable? What quality do you think these will be?
>>27789566
If you are inexperienced, go buy a Cold Steel Katana for cheap. Don't mess with custom order shit.

Ehhh, 200 bucks and "custom made" is probably a piece of shit mate.

Not necessarily. You can do one and not the other. I have always pillar bedded and skim bedded my stocks. Best of both worlds.
I just accidentally fired my gun in my car while parked outside my house in my neighborhood.
What's the likelihood that one of my neighbors heard it?
Do you live in a commie block or a quaint country house in bumblefuck lane? You're the best equipped to answer that question.
Hope your city doesn't have a shot radar or you are so fucked
But you're an idiot anyway so you deserve it

Would use a revolver in combat? Which one would you use?
Smith and Wesson M&P R8
