Why exactly is eye protection needed when shooting? I can understand the use of ear protection because it's fairly obvious why it's needed, but what exactly endangers your eyes?
>>27541549
Seeing is kind of useful, that's why window licker.
>>27541549
dirt and debris as well as ricochets, or as i like to call them, "rock-oh-shit(s)".
one day i was shooting my px4 in 9mm at the range without eyepro
of course a casing would fly out the chamber, directly into my eyeball. cutting and burning it at the same damn time.
wear fucking eyepro queer
Does anyone know anything about these? The Leupold LCO

There is literally no reason to get one for the price when quality companies like Aimpoint or Trijicon make similarly sized red dots for less.
>>27539817
That was the answer, idiot.

Shoot the fucker.
Jokes on you, I've had moderate hereditary tinnitus since birth!
It was a real trip finding out that other people didn't have a constant, high-pitched ringing in their ears at all times around the age of 8.
You never really get used to it.
Enjoy! :D :D

What advantages would a tank have over a drone which could hover in place and has pin-point accuracy with a controllable blast radius?
As in a theoretical drone that's practically an attack helicopter without the worry of too much collateral damage.
As far as I can tell it would be able to do everything a tank with added mobility
>>27539522
The tank isn't firing a $110,000 shell.
>>27539522
Can't jam a tank. Until a decent AI is developed, unmanned weapons will be limited in use.
>>27539614
I was thinking of a theoretical drone that would have great AI, but as >>27539536 cost efficiency wins out.
What should one expect to pay for an unmolested shooter-grade c96? Determined to get one for my next firearm purchase, but all I see in auctions are collector grade and prototype versions for like 1.2-5k and ones that have been rebored with retarded chamberings like 38 auto. Is 6-800 too much/little to expect to pay for your run-of-the-mill c96?
Also, c96 General. Show off your broomhandles!
>What should one expect to pay for an unmolested shooter-grade c96?
Depends on what kind of C-96 it is.
>but all I see in auctions are collector grade and prototype versions for like 1.2-5k
They show up in waves. Keep looking, be patient.
>>27539036
What should I look for in the 6-800 dollar range?
I got my red 9 at a gunshow for $600 cash. The sights were missing and it had a lot of pit/cosmetic damage(this gun was in Nevada covered in blood) but shoots great. (Inside the bore was clean and never shot.
I can only find one place that sells it, but I'd rather have options. Anyone know of a manufacturer/place to buy?
Get a Lee Classic Loader in .45 Colt and buy or make some black powder... and just roll your own.
A Lee Loader would cost as much as a box of the ammunition you want anyways, because actual black powder ammo is relatively rare compared to smokeless cartridges.
>>27539117
And besides, if you actually do load your own, 45LC is an extremely cheap cartridge to make. Just use either lrn or swc cast bullets (in your choice of weight), your favorite black powder, and some once fired brass. Hell, brass lasts forever on straight-walls anyway, so you might get 10 uses on a single piece depending on your pressures.
Be sure to clean up those cases afterwards, black powder can get really nasty if you let them sit for too long.

I'm in a small shit hole of a town in ohio that has been slowly dying of a meth and heroin problem for the past several years. Lately the lone dealers have been slowly replaced by several packs of gorillas capable of speaking with a very finite vernacular for the purpose of pushing drugs and intimidating ones that were differing colors. It has gotten so bad that it's essentially all out turf wars right now and I hear gunshots each and every night outside my window. The apes have had a long time feud with my mom because she is a 15 year veteran of the navy with the PTSDs and essentially calls them out when the baboons are looking in our windows for goods to peddle for the sweet tar like sustenance they call heroin. I'm really at my breaking point here as I'm unable to leave my house without fear of my mother's safety so I was wondering if I did end up having to defend my family from a monkey assault would I end up going to prison? I do not wish to walk around outside and play pretend vigilante/Zimmerman and kill the knuckledragging slackjaws that have inherited the streets I am really just curious if I would have any chance at all in our current social climate if I ended up having to perform a lobotomy on one of the chimps if they attacked our house. (which they have threatened violence in the past.) I have a Taurus .357 with a six inch barrel and a Stevens model 320 12 guage with the barrel down to the legal limit so everything I have is perfectly legal but I am apprehensive about using it as I do not wanna get ram jammed by these homoerectus for the rest of my life just because I had to protect my family.
>>27538680
If it comes down to it, shoot to kill.
I know Ohio is like a non SYG law area in while being surrounded by ones that are so thats what worries me is if im just going to be bumplugged if I act out of defense. I am not an irrational person and would never pull my gun unless absolutely necessary.
>>27538743
you have castle doctrine, even in your car
>(A) As used in this section, “residence” and “vehicle” have the same meanings as in section 2901.05 of the Revised Code.
(B) For purposes of any section of the Revised Code that sets forth a criminal offense, a person who lawfully is in that person’s residence has no duty to retreat before using force in self-defense, defense of another, or defense of that person’s residence, and a person who lawfully is an occupant of that person’s vehicle or who lawfully is an occupant in a vehicle owned by an immediate family member of the person has no duty to retreat before using force in self-defense or defense of another.

Seriously bro, the Russians CANNOT into camo. They don't even use their own shit anymore. Stop trying to be special and buy some completely effective and cost appropriate MTP.

>>27538538
How fucking dumb do you have to be? From a strategic standpoint; if they invade a western backed country wearing western gear and slinging western weapons; for maybe two hours those generals will be scratching their heads wondering who the fuck is attacking them. It'll take until second line fighters in Gorkas show up for them to realize that those dudes wearing ops-core bump helmets and slinging 5.45 wearing MTP are Russians, and it will moderately reduce their reactionary capabilities because they don't know if it's a blue-on-blue or what the fuck is going on.
Imagine if Russians could get their hands on FA-18s. Do you know how much havok they could wreak with those fucking things before NATO powers realized that those FA-18's weren't friendly?

Trying to decide between a Savage Mark II or a CZ 455. Anyone have any experience with the Mark II's accuracy? It's about a $200 difference so I was looking to see if the CZ really blows it out of the water.
Competitive shooting? Get the cz and a lilja and fork over the money for match ammo. Just going to feed it cheap bricks? Get the savage.
heres my savage, its very accurate especially if you have a scope and an accutrigger on it, i dont have any experience with the cz tho
>>27538225
I heard the craftmanship alone in the CZ is worth it. I'm just looking for a fun .22 to plink the forest with.
>>27538388
Interesting choice in stock... how are the magazines? I heard they're pretty janky.
So i started a thread a couple of days ago for a tucson meet up and only 4 or 5 people emailed me.
1 other person showed up to sasco and we shot for a few hours and then had lunch at grumpys afterwards
I know it was poorly planned and short noticed but im planning a winter flagstaff meet up in either november or january.
Perhaps the flagstaff guy from the first thread with the 40 acres will allow us to use his land.
If bot we will stay in ft tuthill and go to a local range
My email is [email protected]
Id like to get more people on this and help connect with other /k/ommandos for meetups and possible stalker challenges.
>>27537824
Hey at least that's one other guy you know now and we know that other /k/ommandos live in arizona (see hot dog minigunner for proofs)
Have him help out the planning, then you guys can grow gradually.
Hey, /k/. Just wondering if any of you legal-minded anons could tell me if coilguns or any other devices that fire projectiles using electromagnetism instead of an explosive primer like pic related would be considered "guns" under the law or not?
The reason I'm asking is because I want to know if they'd be likely to be banned along with conventional firearms if strict gun control laws are passed.
>>27537692
No, you can't have a railgun as a civilian.
>>27537692
no explosion = no gun
Coil/gauss guns, railguns, spring guns, airguns, etc are completely unregulated.
>>27537721
Thanks. Good to know.
What did /k/ shoot today?
>>27537033
Nothing, been working all day.
But bumping a shooting thread.
Nothing because it's Sunday and only yankees , Jews, Muslims and similar scum shoot on Sunday

Basically i've been searching the web for a specific BB gun, but I can't seem to find what i'm looking for.
I'm trying to find an AK 47 BB gun just like the one in CS GO because I would like to paint it like one of the guns in game.
Unfortunately, I've only came across AirSoft which isn't what i'm looking for.
Can anyone lend a hand?
>>>asp
Get a real AK
>>27537167
Totally would but I don't have the money for that
