Definitely the period from from about 1870-1914. The real development of modern firearms. I love em all from the Martini-Henry to the 1911.

Probably from the Great Depression onward. Some very nice arms available at a decent price(yes, I know what inflation is). Good way of living, If born at the beginning of my specified time period, I could be of serving age by Korea and maybe nam, go kill both kinds of gooks. Only problem I see is the chance of childhood polio ruining my life and the lack of global experience where going off to war would be my only time to see another land, but fuck it, that is the america I would like to be a part of. Also to prevent the death of Malcolm X and have a violent black uprising result in either the justification to oppress or to have them be productive members of the world with the idea that they physically fought for their life, why stop fighting

14th century Europe. I wouldn't want to live in it, but it's fucking cool. The Scottish Wars of Independence and the Hundred Years War are my favorites. Lots of cool battles and heroes. Also, the songs get me jazzed up.

Amen. People are bitching about stuff like the Ghost Gunner or Keltec's latest idiocy, but this burst of weird shit has all the hallmarks of the beginning of a period of expansion and innovation in firearms as we move beyond the shadow of the Cold War and the federal AWB. Reactionless thrusters like the EmDrive are beginning to show real promise, and will take us to the stars in a way chemical rockets never could. The proliferation of open source software on open standard platforms (x86, ARM) and source CPU architecture (Linux on RISC-V) is devouring entire industries and enabling the continued exponential growth of the Internet.

A video that sums up my feelings:

I know people like to say WW1 was the pivotal turning point from old warfare to modern but in my mind that position is reserved for the entire 19th century.
>powerful artillery
>introduction of repeating rifles
>chemical warfare
>birth of the nugget
>fall or reformation of ancient empires
>industrial revolution
>birth of guerilla warfare
and the list goes on.
Truly was our ascension into the "modern" world of today and is my favorite historical period.

I would say the birth of modern warfare was the american civil war but thats also wrong. Many things have changed leading to WW2 and even today hell the mobilization of the population to wage war started in napoleons time. And its still a little dicey and how a modern war between super powers would turn out you know excluding the nukes of course. I may also be posting this in the wrong thread but eh also the 19th century was my favorite as well it had such a blend of modern and napoleonic styles that was so interesting.

Definitely WW2 in the Pacific. It's not played upon as often as it should be but it was absolutely brutal. The war between the US and Japan was batshit insane.

I was going to get an Arisaka to go with my Garand but I'm not sure how to get ammo for the latter. I've heard it has to be custom made. I'm not even sure it fires until then.

I didn't look for the imperial seal but I'm pretty sure that at $175 the dealer I buy from probably knows it doesn't have one. They're worth way more with one.

>>31472267

It's not wise to shoot Japanese small arms. They were so shit (unless it's early model, but even then the early ones were left over of previous wars and early enough that heat treatment wasn't a thing) many were thrown together by school children and never properly treated. Literally the one thing japs have never mastered was small arms. Big guns, ships, planes, other infrastructure no problem. Small arms? Naw. Goes back to philosophy on warfare and tactics.
