Q.T.D.D.T.O.T

I wasn't around for last thread to see if my question got answered.

If it's all about shot placement, why does Joules of energy delivered matter?

>>31791385
its just dirty.

store the mags full its completely fine.

>>31791385
normal
>30 - 2 for example
fuddlore that was true in nam but doesnt apply to anything past that

it is true that it is harder to seat a full mag on a closed bolt compared to a closed bolt on a downloaded mag

of course it doesnt matter if the bolts locked back when you insert the mag

>>31791385
the cases are slightly tarnished, no big deal. safe to shoot.

>>31791385
The patches don't matter. I store 30 round mags at 28 rounds. The reason isn't to save the magazine, it's to make it easier to insert the magazine on a closed bolt, should you need to.

>>31791437
Doesn't that damage the feed lips over time?

OP here thanks

Also, this is a retarded question logically since I would assume no, but should I clean and lube my factory lower and upper before using.

Everything is from PSA

Yes, clean and lube any new firearm.

Those cases are fine. They would probably be fine for several reloads after the initial firing.

>>31791392
bc ur a faggot.

>>31791636
Wow, that answers my question completely! I understand now!

>>31791525
yes you should clean it
guns ship one of 2 ways chock full of grease/oil to prevent rust or bone dry
neither of these are what you want when you shoot

lube it up when you get it

>>31791467
not on steel mags.
pmags have a little plastic thing that comes with them that you can put on a full mag for storage to take pressure off of the feed lips.

>>31791467
No. Even on new production p-mags isn't a non-issue.

If it does eventually cause a problem, it's warrantied. If you want to stockpile magazines, get USGI aluminium magazines, spare followers, floorplates, and springs.

>>31791653
glad to be of help.

But really its more nuanced than that.

.22 lr will kill you just fine, but under restricted circumstances.

the infinite enviromental factors change this.

Range, barriers, type of target, type of allowed projectile, tactics etc.

For a large force, .556 is a great Idea with mass fire and what not.
SHTF or small unit tactics without large supply chains battle rifles start sounding like a better idea.
9mm and 45 have no substantial difference in the civie field, but the military is restricted to FMJ porjectiles, here .45 acp has a enormous advantage over 9mm.

There are a ton of variables that make your question a near impossible one.

>>31791401
>>31791425
I would assume you clean the rounds with a micro cloth, maybe a little oil??

>>31791778
What caliber should I stock up for the best performance for my Hobo-Rambo set up?

>>31791852
Hobo Rambo?
So just like general poorfag shit?

AR 15 is great for that, if thats not your speed SKSs can be had for cheap too.

>>31791825
you can if you want but it wont hurt anything if you leave it as is

>>31791888
More, "I will probably need to scrounge for ammo and carry two long-rifles for every situation.

I'm talking STALKER-tier Innawoods shit.

>>31791912
If your inna Merica, any common durr rifle caliber like 3006 .270 .243 will be fine along with Nato cartridges.

If your anywhere else im not sure, probably commbloc 7.62x39 or 5.45x39.

>>31791970
I'm in America.

No reason to stock up on snowflake ammo for a snowflake gun like 6.8 or .300 memeout is there?

If you haven't figured it out I'm thinking SHTF preparation.

Why is /k/ so tinfoil about posting their weapons serials online? Seems like /x/-tier fuddlore.

I got an ancient mossberg 400g as my first gat. I'm going to ream out the full choke obviously, is it possible to have it reamed out all the way to a cylinder and have the barrel threaded for chokes I can swap in and out?

>>31791712
>USGI aluminium magazines
/raises hand

The ones from Brownell's okay?

>>31792626
why would you put a choke on a 22?

>>31791385
patches are fine.

Spring thing is retarded, springs only deteriorate when releasing tension, not by being tense. Down loading a mag is useful though as it can help with seating the mag during a reload.

>>31791392

Short answer, penetration and expansion.

Longer answer, barring a CNS hit, your target stops moving when it's blood pressure drops below a certain point from blood loss. Bloods loss is a direct result of the surface area of a wound channel. Ignoring some complex fluid dynamics, a wound channel is a product of how deep a bullet penetrates and how wide it expands/fragments.

More energy is required to accelerate a heavier bullet to a faster speed, so it also means more energy will be required to stop the bullet when it hits something. That extra energy translates to a deeper, wider wound channel.

>>31792662
I just went with the D&H ones from PSA. They're using magpul followers and good springs.

Seems to be fine to me. Hard to find many bad USGI type magazines these days if they're using magpul followers.

>>31792700
It's a 12 guage. The mossberg 500 was manufactured and sold as the 400g in Canada back in the 70s.

Is corrosive ammo really that bad? Most people seem to be telling me that if I clean my gun right after I have nothing to worry about, but then there's the one guy that swears its evil, like it raped his family and burned his house down. Literally read one where the guy said he would never let that filth touch his babies.

The missed any answers from last thread.
What's a good, cheap weapon light?

Nogunz here. is there anyway to practice shooting without actually shooting? like finger squeezing etc

Well /k/, I'm finally 18 and am able to buy a gun. My state (Ohio) I am old enough to purchase a "long gun" such as a rifle or shotgun. For a first gun, what should I get? I'm thinking an AR but have no clue who makes a good starter AR for a low price. I'm looking to spend 700 dollars or less. Keep in mind I have experience shooting, so no gay .22 shit.

What system is it that FN USA uses to make 7.62 recoil 5.56 levels?

Is it possible to be added to other rifles?

>>31793260
i live in ohio and got an ak for my first gun. get whatever you want, if you don't have a lot of $ take round costs into account i suppose.

>>31793223
$20 350 lumen tactical light (1inch diameter type) from lowes or similar building material store, they sell brighter ones for $30 and $40 but don't buy what you don't need. Attactch with either 1 inch diameter scope mounts, tape, or zip ties.

No sense in dropping $300+ for some shitty 100 lumen blue mall ninja thing.

>>31793246
no, get a gun

>>31791994
Those are pretty uncommon, youd be hard pressed to find either of those, you could reload for 300blk I guess but i wouldnt use those extra snowflake calibers if I were you.

Yes, but it's called "dry firing". Finger squeezing is cute though.

>>31793475

>>31793450
Scope ring, hadn't thought of that, thanks.

>>31793223
surefire g2x tactical for $50. add a $20 mount and you have an actual weapons rated light that is made to handle the recoil of a rifle, rather than just some random cheap ass flashlight you stuck on your gun.

You could try airsoft or air rifles but if you live in a cucked state like California or Massachusetts, however these aren't totally comparable to actual firearms.

On my Px4, if I slap a loaded magazine in just right, the slide will close automatically.

Is this intentional, or a malfunction? Does it damage it in any way?

>>31791825
Don't put oil on ammunition.

>>31792608
If some one wanted you gun, they could theoretically say that they wrote down the serial number before it was stolen.
If you bought it from some where it was registered than that is obsolete

>>31793550
Unintended. It's the same as releasing the slide. You should slingshot to give the recoil spring the most room to garb that new round and lock. Using the slide release may result in a failure to feed if the gun is dirty.

I don't own an aug. I'm buying one.

Can you make handloads that will kaboom a firearm? Like if you left a few loaded magazines with these handloads close to your pistol and some asshole steals it it would blow up in his face? In the first few shots so he wouldn't realize something was up and ditch the ammo. Obviously you wouldn't shoot these rounds yourself maybe only load them with cases you can identify and not use but to anyone else they would look normal.

>>31793955
it comes down to the exact firearm. A lot of guns its impossible to turn it into a pipebomb just from shooting a single round.

>>31793955

> Few loaded magazines
> Identifying them by their cases

You could mark the mags, but honestly, sounds like a risky venture. If you blow off a finger be sure to post pics though.

>>31791385
It's not a big deal, just minor surface corrosion. They should still feed and fire without a problem.

Loading down is not a meme. I load all my AR mags to 28 and pistol mags down one because pushing a magazine into the mag well on a closed bolt is tough for anything more filled than that despite the fact that modern magazines are designed to be more forgiving (magpul and lancer can hold 31, DD can hold 32).

The most significant reason to load down is for putting in a mag on an empty chamber but there is something to be said for spring fatigue: it exists. The surefire 60 and 100 rounders had BAD problems with it and some magazines can have their feed lips damaged of they are held under load (that's what the extra plastic piece is that comes with PMAGs)

>>31791392
it's not *all* about shot placement, one still has to apply energy to a critically vital areas to affect a quick stop and/or lethality. A .45 ACP to the toe is significantly less lethal than a .22 short to the eye at point blank and they're both infinitely more lethal than a .50 BMG that whizzes overhead.

>>31791525
inspect it, degrease, then lubricate as needed

>>31791852
depends more on where you live and how many legs whatever you anticipate shooting has than on your lack of personal hygiene standards.

>>31793148
it corrodes areas its residue sits after firing due to corrosive salts, at the very least you ought to rinse the barrel and gas tube with water but ideally a full cleaning is in order.

>>31793246
notwithout an analogue. Pulling the trigger without ammo in a gun is good practice. Even using a BB gun or airsoft gun is better than nothing. Just don't let bad habits creep in.

>>31793260
don't shit on .22, it's an excellent training tool for people with limited funds.

Savage Axis, Ruger American, Mossberg 500, Maverick 88, S&W M&P15, Vz 58, PTR 91, AMD 63, or AMD 65 are good places to start, though there are many other solid entry level guns.

>>31791385
It is a little bit of tarnish on the brass.


Wont do shit to your gun

>>31793276
efficiently designed muzzle devices, butt pads, and heavy rifles slow recoil impulse but nothing cheats newton's laws

>>31793550
it's due to flex in the frame due to lower stiffness of the frame material. It is common among plastic framed firearms and does not damage a firearm any more than letting the action fall another way.

>>31793629
flat top, why commit when you con't have to?

>>31793955
you can by doubling the powder charge but DO NOT DO THIS. it could be very dangerous to someone close to you should they need to defend themselves or yourself should you lose focus for a moment.

>>31793955
you could just overload the fuck out of powder in the top round of the magazine
or you could make a squib load and let nature take it's course

these would all probably blow up your barrel though

>>31791385
It can be easier to insert mags on a closed bolt if you downsize to 29 or 28 with certain mags and certain rifles. YMMV.

>>31791778

I bought some .223 thinking 5.56 and .223 were the same. How bad would it be to shoot .223 through a 5.56 AR?

>>31797079
THEY'RE LITERALLY THE SAME BULLET.

UNLESS YOU HAVE SOME 70s FUDD RIFLE THAT HAS "FOR HUNTING USE ONLY" PRINTED ON THE SIDE, YOU CAN SHOOT BOTH ROUNDS THROUGH THE SAME GUN.

With the coming racewar should I get a FAL and have to stock 308 or a Kriss Vector 10mm and have ammo sharing w my sidearm?
Its mostly woods out here so I'd never be shooting further than my AR can go.
I guess my concern is vehicles full of people so barrier penetration vs capacity and ammo reserves

>>31797079
It's fine as long as you have a 5.56 barrel which I'm 99% sure you do without even looking. They can be loaded to more pressure.

>>31797108
AFAIK, they're close, but not the same bullet. .223 is lower pressure, so I wanted to make sure I wouldn't run into problems.
>>31797119
Thanks.

>>31797264

Anything that is marked for 556 can shoot 223.

They say you shouldn't use 556 in guns marked for 223, but honestly if SHTF then you're fine to do it

I'd second a rail (get the high/long rail if you're talking an A3M1). With any of the decent 1-4xish illuminated scopes.

Or get the 3x, if you insist on the factory glass. You can always swap it out for a rail when you realize you did wrong (if it is an A3M1, anyway).

Is there any consensus on using remanufactured ammo, specifically in .45 ACP, .223/5.56, .308, and 7.62x39? I've seen answers all across the spectrum, and heard there's different issues with different calibers of remanned ammo. Anyone have some personal experience? Also, I have no intention to reload any of it.

>>31797380
I'd go with the USP personally, but I also dislike the ergonomics and bore axis of the Sig, along with the fact that I could literally care less about frame material. Have you shot either? Or have experience with either manufacturer?

I'm thinking of buying a semi-automatic .22lr rifle to kill some paper as well as small animals
Is a ruger 10-22 a good choice for this?

>>31798161
Well, I'd say if you like the Sig, and already have one of their guns which you like it would probably be the better option. Also, unless you've found as good of a deal on the USP, the Sig seems like a better option. At the end of the day both are good choices.

I just bought a Kriss in .45ACP and I love this little bitch. I narrowed my choices to the CX4, the MPX and the Kriss before deciding on the Kriss. Honestly, I chose it because it comes in .45ACP, has great capacity for caliber, takes a common magazine and has a factory threaded barrel.

However, I've come to love it for other reasons. It is a noticeably soft shooting .45ACP that my girlfriend absolutely loves to shoot. She's much more accurate with it than with my AR or Galil because of how little weight is forward her support hand resulting in less fatigue. It is a heavy little monster at the action but that's where I want the weight, right between my support and shooting hands.

My second choice would have been the CX4 but you're looking at 20 rounds maximum in 9mm and 10 rounds of .45 with no threading on the barrel. That's aside from the fact that it's essentially the same simple action as a Sten, Sterling, Mac or Uzi carbine except with a lower round count, polymer shell and heftier price tag. So actually, it was never a choice for me at all.

MPX didn't make it because

>30rd 9mm magazine costs $60 retail vs $35 for Glock 33 rounders or ~$50 total for Glock 21 mag and a Kriss extension

Yeah, because the due complaining how others are a "fucking moron" and acts like a dumb fuck isn't the one making a stink, it's everyone else.

>>31799673
I asked for a simple image. One that already exists.

All I got was some shitty versions and a dude saying I could do it in paint.

It's not a conceivable hard request. If you have the image, post it. If not, move on.

And if you really want to whine about who threw the first stone, look at the thin skinned idiot in the mirror. Not that anyone here cares but you.

>It's not a conceivable hard request.
This is not a request board. No one is obligated to give you anything. Also people can post anything they want.

Does it hurt your autistic feelings, Nancy?

>>31799743
I asked if anybody had the image in a questions that don't deserve their own thread-thread. If anything, it's the best place to ask for /k/ related images.

It's not my fault you get all butthurt when people call you an idiot for posting stupid trash.

in assuming the only reason you're still replying is that you have some innate need to have the last word, because you don't have any point to make at this point.

If I'm looking to rent a room/share an apartment, what's the best way to potential roommates know I'll be bringing my guns with me? Or is it better just not to bring it up?

>>31799767
>I don't need to use a request board for reaction image requests
>I have /k/
That's not how this works

>>31799787
Bruh. You need to stop moving goalposts just to "prove" how right you are.

If you really don't like people asking for images, go make your own authoritarichan where there are strict rules about asking questions and no QTDDTOT threads.

>>31799769
Just ask them fairly early on (not the first damned thing you ask, tho) what they think of firearms.

>just not to bring it up
Unless you're an excellent judge of character and determine that they wouldn't be bothered to find out at a later point, this is a very stupid idea. There are some crazy ass hoplophobes out there.

I use remanufactured 9mm and .380 without any problems. Found it at a decent price online and ordered some to try, liked it well enough and did a bulk order.

M&Ps, PSA, and DPMS all have basic 308 ar rifles in that price range, so it seems on par.

Since the guy from the gear queer thread bounced as soon as he posted, can anyone ID the large pouch on his upper back?

>>31799823
I'm moving out near Portland, and I've been steering clear of any ad that says they're liberal or looking for left-wing roommates, so *hopefully* I'd avoid the craziest ones that way, I'm just worried about what'll happen if I move into someone's house and like the second week I'm there they see me bringing home a gunsafe or something.
So far what I'm thinking of doing is mentioning that I hunt when I email people - most people on craigslist want a dumb little 'tell me about yourself' thing when you email them, so that way I can lay some deniability into it - "I told you I hunted, why would you think I wouldn't own guns?"

>>31799916
You still don't understand what moving the goalposts mean. I've made multiple statements that you disagree with, but one is not 'farther down field' because they're about different things, you retard.

Why do you use terms you don't understand?

>>31799911
This. Why pay $50-60 for 200rnds of winchester white box at cabelas when I can pay $43 at walmart?

A local pawn shop has a Marlin 336 (not sure of year) for $340. The wood has some surface wear but it's mechanically sound and very smooth. Should I go for it? I've been wanting a lever gun for a while.

>>31799985
You realize moving the goalposts can mean changing the criterion for what counts, not just making it harder, right? Or are you intentionally conflating the term with physically moving goalposts?

>>31800022
>changing the criterion for what counts
Nothing has changed, you idiot. Everything I've said still stands, you've just brought up other things that I've also responded to.

When you have a conversation about lunch to someone and they bring up what they're doing next weekend, do you also accuse them off moving the goal posts?

>>31799996
I'd probably go for it. 30-30 or? Because they did make some in harder-to-find calibers as well. If you're not a reloader that could be an issue.

>>31800071
No, because they're not constantly shifting points to prove how "wrong" I am after I dismissed their other shitty points.

Seriously kid. The image you posted was dumb, so get over it.

>>31800094
>because they're not constantly shifting points to prove how "wrong" I am
It must be hard to always be the victim. People don't disagree with you when you're wrong, they disagree with you because it's an attack. Poor you

>>31800165
Dude, the image sucked. Get over your ego.

It's a simple request. Don't reply if you don't have the image I want.

>>31798699
You can get one before 21 in certain circumstances, but I wouldn't qualify for them.

New question: How do I cope with being a nopistol? I already have a flare gun, but it's not quite enough.

>>31800082
It is in 30-30 so ammo wouldn't be an issue.

>>31800352
Not even the same guy here, but you have a serious case of last-worditus. You better take a chill pill and get that out of your system.

>>31798304
Thank you for the input. I'll probably head out there tomorrow to get it. Any recommendations on taller sights?

>>31799945

It looks like a sustainment pouch.

My LGS was showing off some nifty kinds of .22lr. The kind that most interested me they said was much quieter than standard .22lr. I have a garden in my backyard that woodchucks and squirrels love to fuck with. I can't shoot them because I live in suburbia.

My questions are, would these quiet .22lr be quiet enough to use here? Would they knock down a woodchuck?

Is buying a PLR 16 instead of an AR pistol a bad idea? I like that it doesn't need a buffer tube, but will it hold up over time?

>>31800513
Can't go wrong with Trijicon, at least as far as I'm concerned. I also only use them on my home pistol though, so I'm not the savviest. Wish I could be more helpful.

Where do you folks buy your ammo? I need target shooting ammo that isn't trash in .223 and .40 SW.

Also, I want to build a small reserve of emergency ammo.

Go over to the camo/surp thread.

Does boiling hot water and WD40 really work for cosmoline on gun parts? I've also heard just Simple Green and a soak does the trick.

I'm going to sweat out the stock tomorrow in a trash bag, but I hear so many different things for the metal.

2) How does one install something like this to an M14?
3) Where can I get a cheap M1A/M14? Preferably something like the Scout Squad?
4) What role was this firearm used for?

They had issues in earlier models, but they seem to have improved.
I can't really give advice whether or not they're worth buying, as I do not own one.

how much do twist rates matter in a basic AR?
my new m&p sport two has a "one in nine"

>>31804806
certain twist rates "shoot better" (stabilize would be a more appropriate term) with certain bullet weights. it means theres one full twist in the rifling in every 9" of barrel.
pic related

>>31804856
and by "it means...", i meant to say "the m&p barrel with the 1 in 9 twist rate means..."

>>31804856
thx, also good infographic

>>31804872
also if youre just shooting bulk ammo itll probably be 55 or possibly 62 grain, in which case 1x7, 1x8, 1x9 would all be fine.
twist rate is more of an issue when you get to heavier and/or lighter bullets.
a lot of AR guys will tell you 1x7 is best because thats what the military uses but 1x9 is fine
