M4 was a piece of shit, and was clearly outclassed by Panther and T-34's throughout the war.
>gasoline aircraft engine that took fire every hit, unlike the T-34
>had a cannon inferior to the Panther and T-34, firing a smaller shel
>had crap cross-country mobility, getting stuck and breaking down
>paper thin armor of only 50mm compared to T-34 and Panther


It was the shittiest tank of the war. Face it.
Why didn't the US field M26 Pershings earlier? The Soviets managed to field IS tanks quite easily, including self propelled guns too.

/k/omrades

I have been collecting brass for awhile now for rifles and pistol rounds. (Mainly .308 and .9mm)

I been wanting to get into handloading my own ammunition.

The problem is I have no friggin' idea where to start. I dont know what equipment/tools I would need, or the process. All I know its cheaper than buying new ammo. Plus it would give me something to do in the winter months.

So any fellow /k/omrades here handload, and can at least give me a general idea where to start?
I have at least $1200 saved up in the bank, and I believe the local L&M supply has lead, primers and powder.

How do you kill a Wizard?

For the purpose of this exercise, the wizard knows you're coming, you have a budget of 10,000 American dollars or an equivalent, and the wizard has taken action to protect himself by casting a spell that makes him immune to weapons that were designed or manufactured in your country, applying to both ammunition as well.

I found this concept for a new LeMat revolver. I thought it was sexy as hell. The LeMat is in my opinion the most interesting of the percussion revolvers. You had 9 chambers in the cylinder and a 20 gauge underbarrel shotgun.

I'm not sure what this design would be chambered in.

I like it.

Post concept guns and the like! Concept ships, tanks, etc.

I live in California and have a medical cannabis card and am interested in purchasing a firearm. I am aware of that the federal government still recognizes cannabis as a illigal substance and the form you are requred to fill out askes you if you use any illigal substances, but is it just a yes or no answer that has no further research done to or is there a list the the seller can reference to every time a form is being approved that lists medical patients. i guess my question is do people with medical cards actually get in trouble if the lie to get a gun

Has anyone on /k/ ever taken a noguns out shooting? I am going this Sunday with a friend who has never even seen a gun before, let alone held or fired one, and it made me realize how much they might not know. What are the things I should teach someone before they even fire the gun? Obviously basic safety stuff is explainable, but what about the finer nuances of stance, breath control, trigger control, etc.? I'm going to write out a list so I can ensure it goes as smoothly as possible.

>the four rules
>the four rules
>THE FOUR RULES
>how to hold the rifle (grip and body stance)
>how the sights work
>proper breathing technique
>trigger control

what else should I cover? I plan on loading 1 round at a time and having the target at something like 10 yards. We'll be shooting a vz2008

pic related, what can i do to not have that hapen

Hey /k/, I'm a noguns faggot. I live with my dad, and he just called from work telling me to get the shotgun out of his closet and watch out for a white pickup truck. The gun is a Remington 870 and it says it is for use with 2 3/4 shells and lower, but the shells he told me to use are 3 1/4. I checked and that's all there is. How fuked am I?

Looking for a Daily Carry, one of my co-workers got car-jacked while on a test drive, put the fear in me.

I'd settled on a G19, but after holding a friends 1911 I'm undecided. I like how it felt, and I'd prefer .45 over 9mm, but i just don't know enough...

Pros, cons, what brands of 1911 are trustworthy for a daily carry??

Discuss!!!
