I just bought pic related about 30 minutes ago. Waiting for it to ship from Kentucky. Any tips for a first time handgun owner? How many rounds or how much time can I expect to train with it before I become proficient? Any training methods in particular you recommend?
>>27789195
Good job, you bought a decent budget handgun. I love mine. I don't know about training though.
>>27789195
How much $$$?
>>27789195
Buy a spring replacement kit for it. The trigger pull is horrendous for a semi auto.
Okay as the name implies I want to make the plaque doctor mask to be able to take commercial or nato style gas mask filters.
I like the appearance it has but I want it to be able to have the filtering gas mask implemented inside of the mask more importantly keeping it from obscuring the design.
Give me some ideas and input on how best I can achieve at making the plaque doctor mask an actual safe working gas mask that I can use.
Also just to keep this weapons related (considering the bullcrap I been through) what type of black powder brand is best for use in black powder revolvers and as well which caliber of the bullet do you prefer for a black powder revolver (that is if you have one or planning on getting one)
How fitting for a psychopath.
Start by spelling it right and go from there
>>27789110
Interesting idea.
Odd but unique.
I would go more of pic related but use the painter's filters that You get from Lowe's and just fabricate the old renaissance plague mask over it.
hey guys can you recommend me a good knife in the $40-$50 range?

Tell me /k/, are "large cruisers" really a thing or are they just battlecruisers with a shiny new American name slapped on them?
Well British battlecruisers had battleship-tier firepower with inferior armor.
German battlecruisers had battleship-tier protection but smaller guns.
Kirovs were called battlecruisers.
Call it whatever the hell you want.
>>27789000
When you say German battlecruisers, are you including the planned ones they had in WWII that they never built or are you just considering their WWI ones?
Additionally w/ the Brits is that only the case w/ their WWI ones, I was under the impression the HMS Hood was originally classified as a battlecruiser but was later just considered a fast-battleship like the Kongo-class was after their modernizations.
America is autistics. Its like everybody knows of chinese superiority only America cannot accept.

Many single barrel and some rotary auto cannons are gas operated but I never see a gas block or a gas tube mounted along the barrel.
>>27788883
That is because of the reasons they are use the gasolines operated.
>>27789174
You wanna speak english?
>>27789181
I have of already sayed english. They uses the principle "gasolines" like lawncutter.
What's the point of using the safety on a hunting rifle? If you follow the 4 rules of gun safety, a mechanical safety is unnecessary. If you don't, then you shouldn't be handling a gun in the first place.
>>27788837
WHAT IF a twig gets caught in the trigger guard, and WHAT IF it's aimed at someone at that moment. A mechanical safety shouldn't bother you anyway, leave it on.
>>27788837
>If you follow the 4 rules of gun safety, a mechanical safety is unnecessary
Sure, that's why most firearms have mechanicall safeties dumbass
>>27788860
>WHAT IF it's aimed at someone at that moment
Then you'd be violating rule 2.
>WHAT IF a twig gets caught in the trigger guard
That may be worth worrying about when crawling through thick brush, but not under normal circumstances.
Ask a guy who just bought a remington 1858 anything

How much did the bad boy cost? I'd love to get my hands on a historical piece, desu.

$230. Bought a reproduction since I'm a poorfag and can't afford an original.

Is 5.45x39 ammo hard to find or should I just get a 7.62x39 AK?
Are 5.56 AKs even worth it?
Id rather get an AK over an AR since I don't like barbie guns.
5.45 is definitely not as common as 7.62x39 that you can buy at wal-mart. If it's your first AK, I recommend 7.62 all the way.
>Are 5.56 AKs even worth it?
In my opinion, no.
>>27788385
>Is 5.45x39 ammo hard to find or should I just get a 7.62x39 AK?
Through the magic of the internet, neither is hard to find. A lot of places carry 545, but less than 762 for obvious reasons.
>Are 5.56 AKs even worth it?
Mine works fine, and offers a lot more ammo choices than either of the others.
>>27788385
Why are all AK owners stupid memelords?
Whatever happened to Remington's quality? Old timers talk about how great they were decades ago, but my 700 caused so many problems I ended up selling it.
>>27788371
*cough*
Their .22lr ammo is also terrible.
Kind of like Gerber and Craftsman, they got a good brand name then cheapened everything up for shorter-term profits, counting on their reputation to only slowly go into the mud and people to still buy their products thinking they were the same quality of old.

Ugly little bastards but they have grown on me since I shot an AUG at the range and now I'm thinking of cutting off the tip of my dick, wearing a kippah, growing a beard and getting a Tavorah.
The main thing that bothered me was the trigger on it, is there any way to fix it, I know they sell triggers but how are they? Is there anything in the works to improve the triggers in bullpups right now or is it even possible?
>>27788270
The upcoming desert tech bullpup is supposed to have a pretty legit trigger out of box, and the aftermarket tavor triggers are nice, but fuckin expensive.
Personally, I'm waiting to see how the Desert Tech rifle is. I'm itchin for a bullpup too.
>>27788270

Would it be fair to say that there's basically no more major innovations to be made with firearms designed around cartridges? (at least no major experimentation like there was in the early 20th century to around the 70's-80's). Seems like all they can do not is different sights, furniture, maybe twist rate, minor modifications basically.
If so, where does that leave the future of the firearms development and manufacturing, is there any chance we'll see attempts at new systems such as rail gun/laser technology or caseless ammunition?
>>27788250
I've always wondered this myself. I remembered reading an article somewhere saying that basically we've invented and basically pushed the limits for chemicallly propelled weapons back in the 60s with the dawn of the modern assualt rifle. I'm starting to agree, all we see nowadays are companies perfecting rifles to make them more precise/accurate, but not much in terms of changing the firearms themselves. You could arm soldiers with AKs from the 40s and pit them against folks with modern weapons like CZ805s and I doubt either side would really have much of an advantage.
>>27788250
some article in gun mag recently about polymer bullets and casings - shooting times ? nra ? I can't remember
more efficient powder - this seems to be at a limit
really powerful handheld lasers - why do we need to fly some piece of metal into somebody else just burn a hole in them
>>27788250
given enough time we'll see the advent of integrated weapons systems that fit into power armor and can be aimed with a HUD instead of conventional sights (a la HALO) but at the same time I don't see anything replacing firearms for quite a while till we come across a major scientific breakthrough
don't forget, flint locks were the staple military weapons of the world for nearly 200 years, black powder rifles and match locks have been around for even longer.
Anybody know where I can pick up a blunderbuss kit so I can be a shit head like pic related?
Also who here collects BP guns that aren't just pietta navies?

I never see any guns earlier then 19th century revolvers on here. prove me wrong
I want a haunted AK

Not even if it wasn't haunted.
I sold an M1 Garand for 400 bucks because it was haunted. If that gun was REALLY haunted it would be cheaper.

The Luger action works well enough if you keep your magazine spring and mainspring in mind, and you're not in a muddy trench-infested hell.
