I always liked the Murata. Thing about the Gewehr 71 is how wide spread it's conflicts were.
Japan, China, South Africa, Ireland. It managed to find a use across the globe, and usually in rebellions.
Gewehr 71 is one of the most historically significant rifles imo.

Who cares, it's obsolete.
I've never even heard of those conflicts either.
Just get an AR dude

He literally says you can't contact him further. His opinion is already set the worst that can happen is his opinion stays the same. If you aren't an autist and can actually form a good argument you might cause him to doubt his position a little bit. But that is unlikely

How'd you get your wife/gf to let you keep guns in the home? I've been working on my wife for over a year now and she's only now finally allowing me to have a over/under shotgun for skeet shooting. I'm going to be married to her for life so I don't mind waiting another 3 years if it'll mean I can finally have an AR.

>having a wife or gf
I haven't talked to a female outside of family or work/retail interaction for well over six years. Not sure exactly how long but that's probably a low estimate.

falling for the mgtow meme i see

I fell for the not giving a shit meme well before mgtow was even born. Now I just do what I want, and women don't even land on the radar of "stuff I want".

You are on your property when you are noticed by your neighbor. He is riding a lawnmower close to your property line near your fence. You approach him and he makes disparaging comments about your wife, then directs insults at you. As you approach the fence your neighbor reverses the lawnmower and brandishes what appears to be a firearm.

He did the right thing. Had a gun pulled and kept moving to pull his and fire.
also the old guy just walks off after taking that many to the chest? what ammo was he using?

Holy shit, that really made me laugh.
To keep it relevant, yeah I would. Brandishing a weapon at me is escalation of force. Fuck that old fart.

Is it okay to kill squirrels just for fun? Or should you only kill them if you plan on skinning/eating them?
Just have some quick easy justification when telling kill stories:

the stray cat that stays around my place loves to kill squirrels, I like to pop them off with my .22 and use her as my retriever cat
How do you even eat a squirrel? Is that safe?
Just moved to Texas a couple of weeks ago, Mesquite TX to be specific. Any good gun shops or ranges worth noting? I sure would love to find a 300-500 yard range somewhere.
VX Marksmanship
ETTS range
Gibsons if you can deal with only 200y and you don't need no stinking rules
Otherwise, buy 10 unincorporated acres of land well outside city limits.
Any west Texas /k/ommandos out there?
>>34458953
Buy land. It's cheap as fuck out near where you are. I bought land in Princeton for a steal. Set up a trailer and some lights and you're good to shoot whenever you feel like it.

Fw-190?
So recently I've been obsessing over 45-70. I'll be getting a 45-70 lever gun, a Marlin 1895GBL 6+1 capacity 18.5 barrel(I'll threaded the barrel for a suppressor) and I'd like to shoot black powder through it. I'll do smokeless as well but I want some black powder do since it would be cheaper, if I can make it.
Now my question is, what's the difference between some online bought proper blAck powder Meant for reloads vs what I can make at home?
Black powder is kno3, Carbon, and sulfur.
Can I make the same high quality black powder at home? Btw I'm looking for the highest velocities.
Now I think the important thing is surface area. Smaller the indvidual particles the better it will work, also probably a lot of oxidizer. So I'm thinking of using more potassium nitrate(fine small particles), fine activated charcoal and then a little bit of sulfur and then tumblr the mixture for a day or more.
Also what about adding another fuel source(just say 2 percent or 1 percent) of say aluminum?
Black powder is like 23 dollars a pound and given that salt Peter isn't that expensive, and neither is carbon or even sulfur(and I won't use much sulfur) it seems like i could make this a lot cheaper.
The bullet I'll be using is a round nose 560 grain hardcast bullet.
Also the suppressor is stainless steel with possible melonite treatment if I can find somebody to do it. So corrosion Isn't an issue there.
I can't wait till I get a 4570 lever gun and then have a suppressor with it. I'm so sick of semi autos. I mean for Shtf I'll take my tacticool ar but it's boring to shoot.
>>34457729
>Can I make the same high quality black powder at home?
no
you can make blackpowder but it will be nowhere near the quality of factory stuff
>>34457729
I got a book I've been meaning to scan that is all about how to make 1700s style black powder. Long story short. It's cheaper to buy it at 20 bucks a pound then to make you own. I get gortex or whatever it's called. Black powder is fun but messy.
>>34457729
The fact you have to ask shows you have no idea and you should not be attempting this.
Would it be possible to produce a sniper rifle more accurate than a tac 50? From my (i couldve taught ap physics while i was in high school) reasoning ability, im pretty sure you could engineer a rifle system using even bigger cal than a .50 (barret/tac/etc...), that would be even more resistant to crosswinds, distance considerations etc... I understand its feasible to produce a very powerful laser which would be 100% accurate from any distance but i havent seen much in that area of development.
What do you think is the theoretical distance capable of a sniper? 3 miles?
10 miles?
20 miles?
>>34457388
>(i couldve taught ap physics while i was in high school)
I find this highly unlikely given that you think laser weapons are real and that LoS could extend 20 miles.
It gets to the point where it is artillery or if you push something small too fast, it disintegrates the projectile. They have guided ammo now as well.

I'm sure your English teachers liked you a ton.
Can somebody please explain to me why the F-22 program was such a fucking disaster?
High program cost - CHECK. Laughably high flyaway cost - CHECK. Produced even though the USAF, Navy and the fucking Marines were falling over totally adequate existing aircraft - CHEEEECK.
Fuck is wrong with you
It was produced during a time when China was weak and Russia was shitting itself. Hopefully, the US military will get a wake up call and cut the bloat when China blows up an American asset.
>>34457268
Agreed. That was money better spent on F-35s. But normie plebbitors and armchairfags are still convinced that the JSF is a failure when it's already the greatest success story in aviation history.
fuck outta here

What the fuck happened to papa franku
Remember the thread I made with this little shit (named Bubblegum) last week? I asked how I can turn her into a fierce fighting machine.
Well I live in a garden apartment in Chicongo. Last night while watching tv, she got off me and looked at the door leading to a courtyard and began to growl. Then, after a couple seconds the locked doorknob started jiggling quickly. She barked like mad.
I grabbed my pistol and had it aimed at the door, waiting for the break in. Bubblegum stopped barking and I slowly made my way to the door, went outside and swept the coutyard. Saw nothing except for the open gate which leads to the alleyway.
Thanks bubblegum, who even though has a small bark, was enough to cause alarm to what I think was home invaders.
Also, thank god im moving to a 3rd floor apartment next month.
Good doggo
