Honestly, something that goes about 1200 fps, always fires, and always expands. Don't overthink it. It is not a rifle, shot placement is more important than bullet design.

This is why I just load my own. 124gr XTPs at about 1250 fps. INB4 you are fucked in court if you shoot someone with reloads. NO, you are not. Any good lawyer will defeat this if it even goes to court.

This would be my only gun for some years (third world country, everything is expensive and this will cost two full months of my pay check) so I do not want something that will break and have no parts to fix it or that isn't working well for some reason and no gunsmith knows how to mess with it.

>>30011062
what kinda gun do you have? What sort of accessory do you want?

>>30014754
it's expensive because a very good laser pointer is also a bit pricey but then combine that with a stable enough frame that does not lose it's zero because of recoil. Also a better laser makes a nice red dot with less artificats than a crappy one and usually works at a greater distance than a crappy one. My point of comparison is my $40 boresighting laser, cheap lasermax lc9 laser and a cheap gas station pointer.

The 100yd boresighter isnt constructed to withstand recoil since you dont shoot while using it but it has the brightest and most visible at distance laser.

The LaserMax pistol laser holds zero perfectly but has a few artifacts if you take a good look at the spot its pointed at. you dont need much out of a pistol laser's actual light but you do want it to stay sighted while using it so thats more important.

The shitty pointer is not very bright, actually looks like it has shitty resolution, makes a shitty dot and manages its power poorly and runs out of juice quicker than the rest.

Here's my question
I want to start an SBR project and I'm looking at going with a m85 (AK pistol in 556 that takes AR mags). I want to get a shockwave brace while i wait, what buffer adapter should I go with? Is it worth it to even bother getting a folding one or should I save the folding for when I get the papers? If I were to go for a 2nd stamp, does the hueristic of "suppressors arent that great on AK's" still apply to AK's in 5.56?

a pistol is personal.
It's the weapon you carry on your persons and frankly, you'd be trusting your life more to the handgun than a long gun MOST times of the day, unless you carry your rifle everywhere or you're stay at home.

Not to mention the shear amount and variety of handguns, along with the accessories.

What are the laws on importing guns from other countries for personal use?

My limited research seems to indicate that you need to pay for the gun, someone to export it and then someone over here to import it.

You'd be surprised how well it will conceal with an oversized t-shirt, You'll have to get a holster that holds it close. 4 o clock and possibly appendix might be your best bests. Also yeah, jackets, stylish button ups left untucked (or tucked depending on the holster), etc are very useful at disguising the shape. Good posture helps too.

So /k/. First time posting on this board but it's really the best place to ask.

So I'm 18, last year of highschool. I was previously thinking about going to university after a gap-year and getting a degree in Physics working towards Geophysics, because I'm smart enough to/get good enough marks and stuff, but lately ( past 4-5 months or so) I was thinking of joining the military.
What are the pros and cons of it? I've read up on it a bit, and I really think I'd like it better than sitting around studying shit that I'm only doing because I'm good at it.

Noguns who's shot a lot of friends' guns here.

I'm trying to decide on my firstgun. I'm torn between a handy light .223 or .308 boltgun like a Howa 1500 and a Mossberg 590A1. I'm currently leaning toward the 590 because it'd be a good HD gun, while the boltgun would be much better as a range toy. What does /k/ think?

BTW, I've shot quite a few shotguns, including the ubiquitous 870 and 500 series, and prefer the safety and slide release of the 500. I've also fondled a 590A1 but never shot it. The difference in price between a basic 500/590 and the 590A1 doesn't really bother me, I'd rather just buy the guns I want off the bat instead of saving a few bucks on stuff I know I'll replace down the line.

Hey man, nothing wrong with that.

What I meant to ask was, what's higher priority for you: Home defense, or having cool guns to play with at the range? If I was you, I'd secure my home defense first and then think about fun stuff, but if odds of you having to actually defend your home are negligible then the situation changes.

You can always do both with a tacticool AR, but I'm feeling that's not quite your speed.

>>30026188
Yes.

The old pot helmets were for shrapnel only, and even then resulted in a lot of debilitating brain and head injuries instead of the poor fuck just dying outright because the padding/liner was insufficient to protect them from the impact.

Helmets in general have always been pretty shit because your brain's already heavy enough and your head isn't really set up to bear extra weight like the rest of you is.

PAGST is compressed kevlar cakes and is in theory good for pistol rounds.

I think they have better stuff today but in the same breath, I'm not sure I'd want to be alive after a rifle caliber round hit my head - even if it didn't penetrate. That's a lot of energy being imparted, good way to jelly the brainmeats.

But they may have gotten around that problem, who knows

Does anyone have any opinion on this barrel?

I bought an upper with a 16" barrel with carbine length gas a while back but now I'm wanting to switch to a middy for the smoother action and to be a little bit easier on the components. This barrel is inexpensive, but is it cheap crap? I take it to the range quite probably once a week and it's also my HD gun.

Help me /k/!

S&W number guns are solid pieces, if not a bit on the heavy side, but you can't go wrong.

>>30031439
Sure.

They're heavy and not well suited for concealed carrying, but the weight makes for a very soft shooter.

I'm going to be buying a 1911 soon, anyone have any suggestions for a flap holster of some kind, intended for general protection of the firearm in a situation where I'm taking it off and setting it on the ground, tables, counter tops, etc all day? I'm worried that the finish will wear off really fast if I don't have a fully enclosed holster.

>>30033887
Thanks for the input!

Which is going to be cheaper/less of a pain in the ass, getting a threaded barrel and recoil booster for my CZ-85b, or just buying a used Beretta 29fs and having the barrel threaded?

Or, should I not worry about the pistol for now and focus on suppressing my ar-15 first?

>>30034532
supress the CZ-85b

sounds like the most fun to shoot and your special snowflake status will be enshrined forevermore

which is what 50% of owning guns is all about

(the other 50% is 9mm vs. .45 vs. .40 threads)

>>30034802
Okay. Then do you know of anyone who makes a good barrel? I know cz-usa has threaded barrels, but if I'm going to go through the trouble of having a barrel fitted I might as well make it an improvement in accuracy over the regular barrel. These things seem to be kind of hard to find because the standard barrel is too small in diameter for common threads or something.

I have some serious concern about my mossberg 930 JM pro.

Bought this gun used. Have shot hundreds of rounds majority being birdshot, and have noticed the gouges when I bought it. The gun functions flawlessly, I've had 0 malfunctions thus far, but Im afraid of lurking catastrophic failures.
Now, these gouges dont seem to be critical load bearing areas or anything, but Im not exactly sure how this happened, if its the gun slowly destroying itself or what.

This image is looking from the loading port, so what you see is the top of the inside of the receiver.

2MB, 3024x5376px

>>30035030
You can see heavy wear signs, and another semi-circular gouge on the side wall of the receiver.

Like I stated before, just want to make sure these don't affect the specs of the gun in any critical way. Not sure how they got there. My best guess is the bolt and lug are contacting the shelf there and wearing it.

What is the law like in regards to breaking and entering for old ass military structures? Got some near me and want to go all stalker for a weekend.

4MB, 3024x5376px

Here is a pic of the top of the bolt and the lug. Heavily worn.

No mechanical malfunctions, or sloppiness when I fire the gun. I honestly don't know whether to be concerned. Since Its preformed flawlessly, im leaning towards this being a non issue.

Could use some input, thanks to anyone who has some insight.

>>30035030
That looks like a design flaw or maybe just slightly off machining, and might just be something that happens when the bolt moves back whenever the gun cycles. I doubt the gun is going to blow up in your face, but if that goes on long enough it might not cycle reliably. That said, I don't think that'll happen any time soon.

Could someone help out? I've got a pair of windowed 30rd gen 3 pmags and a maglink coupler, but for whatever reason the maglink wont fit. Specifically it seems to be the front piece of the coupler that wont fit on the magazine.

Help a newbie learn to appraise used guns?

I'm about to turn 21, live in a shit area among sketchy people and addicts, and want to carry a handgun as soon as I can buy one. I'm very broke, will be buying informally or from pawn shop. I pretty much have my heart set on a revolver. I want at least 38 spl +P, bigger would be nice but I need as cheap as possible. Very little shooting experience.

Can anyone give me tips on how to judge a gun's quality quickly?

>>30037698
buy a bore light and/or a bore gauge. If the bore looks like shit, i.e. you can't see rifling or there's pitting/rust inside the barrel, it is bad.

Try cycling the gun, all the parts should move smoothly and easily.

Least important is obvious cosmetic damage. Exterior pitting/rust, chips or scratches in wooden furniture, worn finish. These things don't matter much on their own, but if you suspect there's other problems, cosmetic damage is strong evidence that whatever excuse the pawnshop guy feeds you is bullshit.

If a gun looks brand new but has problems cycling, it might actually just need lubed. If a gun looks beat to hell, "it just needs lubed" is bullshit.

>>30037793
>bore light
I've been told that before, but I've never used one. Are they fairly simple to use? I'm afraid of getting one, going to buy the gun, then fumbling around with it and looking like a complete retard

This is cool conceptually but it's a little arcane for my taste.

Are Mechanix gloves actually good to shoot with?

What other brands are good to shoot with?

>>30037852
They're just tiny flashlights.

>>30038256
They are. I like the originals, not the tactical ones. The tactical ones have needless rubber.

Otherwise, gloves is gloves. I like thinner ones like Mechanix and USGI flight gloves mostly. I also used to have some Kevlar Hatch gloves, which liked.

Skip any gloves with that hard knuckle nonsense on them.

Most people who get all fanboy about buying lifetime gloves or whatever are too spergy. If you just gearqueer, gloves of almost any make will last forever. If you're in the military and use gloves, they will get fucked up no matter what.

>>30038256
for the price, theyre great. a tad thicker than i would prefer, but for $15 or less, they work really well.

I can see the merit of carrying flat point hard cast FMJ or lead in the backcountry where overpenetration has minimal negatives and adequate penetration is vital, but the vast majority of law enforcement shootings with quality hollowpoint ammunition display effective performance while minimizing overpenetration.

Do you also advocate using revolvers defensively since semiautomatic pistols display the occasional tendency to malfunction and require immediate action to clear?

>>30048094
No big deal, people that call you out on typoes instead of arguing clearly are shitheads with nothing better to do.

Will Dugan ever make videos again? Or is he...dead? Did his MS finally get the best of him?

Is there any trick to getting the firing pin to screw into the cocking piece on a Mosin? The pin wont catch the threads for the life of me.

Also why is the barrel wobbly?

>>30052003
>>30051998
It looks like the extractor is catching on the back of the round and not the seating in the rim.
Solution is to not drop a round in the chamber and try to close it. Instead load it into a mag and rack it back like you are supposed to.

>>30052027
And i also dropped a loaded magazine on the floor when i was practicing reloading and it dented the floor plate.
Is the magazine safe to use?.
And why won't the gun go on safe when the hammer is fully forward?
And how hard should i push the magazine in?
And also i can't really focus on the front sight at all like im supposed to.
Is it because i wear glasses?
Im sorry i know this is alot of questions and i sound retarded but this is my first gun :(

>>30007366
Shot placement matters infinitely more than what kind of ammo you're using. Just get anything hollowpoint and call it a day.

>>30052037
What if i wanted to play Russian roulette?

>>30052091
>And i also dropped a loaded magazine on the floor when i was practicing reloading and it dented the floor plate.
>Is the magazine safe to use?.
Worst case, rounds won't feed well. It is safe, but it might not work well. Should be fine.
>And why won't the gun go on safe when the hammer is fully forward?
HP is single action only, so the gun can not go BANG unless the hammer is cocked and a round is chambered.
>And how hard should i push the magazine in?
With the force of one thousand suns. Seriously though, just push it in until you hear or feel the click. You can give it a slap to make sure it seats. Again, this gun will only go BANG if a round is chambered and the hammer is cocked
>And also i can't really focus on the front sight at all like im supposed to.
>Is it because i wear glasses?
Practice. Practice, practice and more practice.

For higher caliber weapons why not just add more/ better recoil springs to make the recoil equivalent to typical cartridges?

Why not just add these things to something like a .50AE Desert Eagle so it shoots like 9mm?

>>30052163
also, the only pistol I know that was designed to work with placing a round directly in the chamber is the Beretta m9/92fs. It was one of the criteria the military had for their service pistol.

If I am buying a 12.5 inch AR hand guard what length barrel should I get?

>>30052214
physics motherfucker, so you speak it? A recoil spring alone just takes the very short very violent BANG and evens it to a slower less violent push.

There are plenty of good recoil mitigating designs, but they are a bit more complex then "put a new spring in it."

Are there any good books about grenades that don't cost a fuckton of dosh? History of grenades, grenades of the world, anything with pictures especially.

is $750 too much for a G40? Really want one but should I wait until I find one cheaper?

>>30053826
Find a local FFL that will do transfers and ask how much they charge. Not every place with an FFL is a "gun shop." Then you can comparison shop the whole country. Add the shipping and transfer fee to the price they quote and bingo bango, you can definitely beat $750.

Is there any significance about this knife? Got it at an estate sale in a tackle box. Just says stainless steel and Japan. Its pretty near and sheaths like a sword.

>>30057347
>Near
Neat.

>>30057347
Looks like a standard fishing knife. The wood on both sides is so it floats if you drop it.

>>30057371
>>30057377
Still cool though

>>30057377
Honestly didn't even think about that, they had a bunch of stuff from traveling so maybe thought someone in japan made it for them or something but no special marks so probably just a prodection knife.

>>30057347
interwebs says they float.

>>30057347
Japan was the Taiwan of the 90's and China of the 00's. Just another cheap knife.

Is the hasty sling a thing outside of basic training? Has anyone ever used/seen it used irl?

I don't think I've seen it anywhere else, I had the question though because today a friend told me it was the weirdest thing he'd seen someone do on a range. Seems a little excessive, but is it?

That's just how I learned to shoot, and I shoot well so Idk man

>>30054454
Yes, while you still can, not Asante getting imported in. Hell, seeing P-64's go damn near as much as Makarovs where going for not even a year ago.

>>30062413
Probably not. Would have headspacing issues at the very least.

>>30062420
its shorter

I have an OD Green KSG coming in.

What sort of sights should I get for it?

I do like how the Holosun HS503C has a circle dot someone like an Eotech. A bit concerned about warranty / how well it will hold up compared to the other Holosun models.

I have heard nothing but great things about the Vortex Sparc 2. The warranty is supposedly amazing too. Perhaps the Vortex Venom 3 instead?

Would go for Eotech but inner jew is always telling me to spend less. Warranty isn't that stellar compare to others, who knows if company will still be around to even warranty.

Any suggestion on flip sights or just forgo them?

>>30062413
No, it's not safe to shoot a cartridge that's 6mm shorter over all and significantly fatter, why would you think it would be>

my 835 has similar wear. it should be ok just the gun making room for bad tolerances

Are .177 or .22 Spring powered or nitro piston air rifles capable of penetrating a human skull and the surrounding flesh/skin.
I am aware that there are better alternatives for home defense but I want to know.

If someone is set on killing you, I would not trust it to protect you. I can say that it will definitely fuck their day though. Plus, you really only get one shot. Honestly, I'd say you are better off with a hammer if you can't have a gun or knives. But to answer your question, it's possible. Mine goes right through half inch pieces of wood and takes plenty of birds, but how effective it would be against some thick headed criminal is something I can only guess about. A hit is guaranteed to be very unpleasant, but I doubt there will be the necessary energy remaining in the pellet to destroy enough brain tissue to be guaranteed to kill with a headshot, even if it does go through. If you only want an air rifle for this purpose, I think you have better options.

Obviously the AA-12 with it's mile long recoil spring and slow as molasses cyclic rate has virtually none but that's not on the table. I'm imagining a long action semiauto with a ported barrel, but I don't know much about semi 12ga.

>>30062212
P64 has history, class, reliability, and will probably outlast LCP even though it was made by polish slaves in 1974.
