I dare you to name a better handgun.
>Stupid is as stupid does***
>>35129022
Almost any popular polymer frame handgun with a lower bore axis and no hammer.
>you asked
>>35129022
How about the greatest handgun ever made?
>>35128966
The Garand, the rest were upgrades of WW1 rifles or not issued in enough numbers to fully test and iron out any bugs.
>>35128966
if the STG or FG42 were more widely issued, they'd be ahead by a large margin but the Garand was there first and had a great edge over bolt guns
Is it bad to leave 30 rd PMags loaded? I heard that it could damage the lips. OK to leave 30 in there? Right now I have about 12 or so in
>>35128931
I keep 28 in mine. Never an issue
>>35128931
Its an AR you'll be fine
Me on the other hand got an AK that came with a basic bitch MOE mag. Wtf were they thinking? That mag needs metal for its catch.
>>35128931
i keep mine full and ready.
why store ammo in paper boxes when i've a shitload of magazines to store the ammo in?
protip: magazines were designed to hold ammunition
Why do people say that stopping power is a meme. I would imagine the energy a bullet has would matter a lot
The way I see it, a bullet's energy is kinda like is kinda like a battery. A bullet uses a bit of energy getting to it's target, then the more it has on impact, the more it can do depending on what it is designed to do, for example a hollow point carrying more energy can expand more, or an FMJ can penetrate (or fragment) more. However you have to beware of certain formulas like the Taylor Knockout Factor or whatever it's called because I crunched the numbers once and discovered that a shot put is four times deadlier than a .950 JDJ

Terminal ballistics, especially in regards to low velocity pistol rounds, is the definition of an inelastic collision and therefore kinetic energy is not conserved due to the deformation of the bullet AND the crushed tissue.
Include the fact that a .22 has 95 ftlbs of energy and a .357 has 500 yet a shot to a vital structure is not 5x more effective with the .357.
And the same is said with a shot to an extremity. A .357 is still not 5x more effective than a .22.
And that's in absolite terms. Shit gets murkier when we start comparing service pistol calibers ot worse, different loads and bullet weights within a caliber.
Shot placement is king. Penetration is queen. The rest is angels dancing on pinheads.

help me /k/ you're my only hope

Get in here revolver owners!
(KDBVSHRR == /K/'s DRUNKEN BEAR VS HIPPO "RUSSIAN ROULETTE")
Bear has Thor's hammer, which is imbued with the power of lightning. Hippo has two Samurai swords which are imbued with poison. Who will win? Only you can decide, retard.
How to play:
1. Choose your side: Announce either BEAR or HIPPO and post a picture of your revolver and alcohol.
2. Load one round (preferably snap cap) into revolver.
3. Spin to win.
4. If round lands in position to an hero next trigger pull: you lose a point, must take a drink alcohol and post anime picture of girl with gun - announcing "CUMDICK" in your post.
5. If cylinder lands in safe position, you score a point and must post a picture of of Teal'C from stargate SG1 holding a P90 - announcing "BEAR POINT" or "HIPPO POINT"
6. If you reach +5 points, you win; and must drink alcohol and announce if bear or hippo was victorious.
7. If you reach -5 points, you lose; and must drink alcohol and declare defeat.
8. If we hit image limit, bear wins vs hippo wins will be tallied and grand tournament winner will be decided.
9. Otherwise we drink alcohol and pee in the sink.
10a. Never drink alcohol and handle firearms
10b. Don't point the gun at yourself.
Hardmode:
1. Same rules but with one empty chamber instead of one loaded chamber
I'll be playing hardmode with live ammo because I'm not a faggot.
>>35128093
I will begin. BEAR.
>>35128108
holy shit, amazingly: BEAR POINT
current score: +1
your turn, niggers
op here again, posting this on a sunday afternoon was a mistake.
CUMDICK
current score: 0
Recent acquisitons /RAG/ Okay /k/ what new /k/related things did you pick up recently? I picked this up at a fun show for $300. Looks to be in good shape shape, and has night sights that still work.
>>35127838
You don't live in northern VA do you? Got this for $300 at a fun show yesterday
>>35128382
That one of the cop trade ins?
Just picked up a Taurus model 85. Wanted a snubbie for a while and it fit the bill. Butter double action with an amazing single action pull
What's /k/'s experience with Canik?
A month ago I'd never heard of them and now I know two people who own them
Kebabshit CZ and Walther clones in 9mm and .40. Apparently pretty good for the price point, but I wasn't too impressed with the fit and finish when I finger-fucked the TP-9.

Made in Turkey by Muslims. As a general statement, in the same way that Christian business owners often donate their money to churches, Muslims often donate their money to mosques. Mosques are often only 1-2 degrees of separation from terrorists, and many funnel money to terrorism. The guns are not that high quality, so I don't really see the point.
>>35127824
Don't give Turks or any Muslim your money, same goes for Jews
Mine is my p938 nightmare.

How you guys feel about trap shooting?
Just went for my first time and shot 16/25
>>35127292
How else are we supposed to bring an end to fags posting traps with guns here?
traps cant get pregnant!
stop bullying everyone
Traps are for loving, not shooting.
what's your most expensive knife, /k/?
and are you happy with it?
i'm afraid to leave the house with the sebenza so it just sits in the safe

Espada XL
>>35127213
i almost bought one of those but i honestly couldn't think of a use i might have for it.
nice knife though. how do you like it?
I know absolutely nothing about reloading. I'm not looking to save money, I just want to reload (and in time I'll probably save some.)
I'd like to set myself up where all that is required of me is buying all the components in bulk and cranking the lever. I think this is called a progressive press? Every source says not to use one of these if you're new, why is this the case even though it's simpler?
Would it benefit me in the long run to use a multi stage? Can someone give me a quick rundown on what that entails?
>keep in mind that I learned that grain amount meant bullet weight like last week
Thanks and excuse the autism/newfaggotry
Single stage is reccomended for beggeiners simply because its simpler- and cheaper. Theres
One turret and it forces you to focus on one step at a time. That being said, if you take the time and effort, theres no real reason you cant start with a progressive.
>>35126755
Reloading isn't something you should get into for saving money, it's not worth it. It's a labor of love that allows you to understand and appreciate your firearm and the way you shoot it on a whole other level.
progressive takes a good bit while to set up and change if you are new.
Start with a single stage, like an RCBS rockchucker, then if you want to load high volume, get a progressive. Save the single stage for load development, precision loads, decap only, or other shenanigans.
Turret presses are ok I guess, but with quick release bushings being a thing now, they're sort of pointless IMO.
What are some affordable irons alternatives?

Newark here, Are they any laws preventing me from buying a weapon (or several) in front of a community buy back program? [Niagara Falls, NY, USA]
Correction. Newfag here. Skynet bullshit autocorrect
You would need an FFL, as there are no private sales under the SAFE Act, obviously.

This, and you'll also look like a autist doing so.
So SHTF in Colorado. You're being tracked by a small army. What gear do you bring?. How do you plan?. What's your tactics?.
I hope you've lived in that area for 20 years because unless you know the terrain better than we all know OP's mom, you're fucked.
>>35126612
Why is that
>>35126596
Fuck going into the Rockies after September, let me tell you that right now.
>Winter training exercise, 0degrees F
>8,000 ft elevation (not even that bad)
>snowshoeing with packs (infuriating)
>Sinking in snow up to your asshole
>socks frozen to feet
>At night, can't sleep more than a few minutes at a time, wake up from shivers
>At one point, bolt up out of my bivvy in the middle of the night certain that I'm either going to puke, shit, or both from the cold.
Also the plains in winter are a miserable shithole too but at least survivable in an environmental sense, but an invading army would be BTFO in the open expanses there or long before, considering the strategic depth that Colorado enjoys.
