What did you expect? If I take my nogunz friends out shooting I either make them buy ammo or set aside a few boxes just for them and accept the fact that they are going to blow through it. If they are really inexperienced I don't even let them load mags period. I do that shit for them

>>33880446
There's virtually nothing I hate more than watching someone else try to load my magazines.

>>33880468
I don't see what's wrong as long as they don't load it in backwards or top-down.

>>33880516
Noobs tend to press the casings down on top of the feed lips..

My friend loaded my SVT mag backwards and I just laughed and showed him the right way to do it. We went through a fuck ton of my ammo but he bought tannerite so equal.

As oppose to sliding them in.

Yeah, I can see why you'd be pissed about that.

Heh, reminds me of coiling electrical wire where noobs would do single loops instead of looping in and out. Fucking kinks everywhere.

I'm not worried. it's not a glock "double stack but one position" mag. the mag throat is big enough to elt a round through without bending the feed lips in and apart.

Like this, they won't push down in front of the lips and then slide it back, they press it down on the lips directly.
No, they're not that easy to bend but don't do it anyway.
You do this to your friends mags? Do you?! I bet you do.

>>33880666
Satan trips confirm it.

So STANAGs are wide enough, Glock mags aren't. Got it.

>>33880666
This. Double stack, double feed magazines can be loaded from the top just fine. How do you think a stripper clip works?

>>33880349
Oh boy, watch your buddy buy some local remaned ammo by bubba because "it was cheap bruh" and proceeds to destroy YOUR gun and his hand from a double charge or squib.

He's the product of our liberal education system. If he outs himself as a hazguns, unless he lives in a very rural area, he will be stigmatized as a school shooter type and ostracized by his peer group. A lot of the boomers that got into education were hippies back in the '60s and '70s, they are now in positions of influence where they can project their failed "make love not war" ideology on the naive, idealistic teenagers they're charged with educating. It's unfortunate, but it's the reality.

2MB, 2576x1932px

a noguns ran a .308 round through my mosin once

I don't blame him entirely because he was pure no guns, the rounds were both tula so the cases looked the same, and I didn't explain to him that the mosin and .308 had different ammo, but excuse me for assuming people aren't retarded.

the mosin was fine. I was livid, not because I was worried about the mosin, but because had it been a different gun (9x18 in a 9mm luger, etc) it could have been A LOT worse.

I don't even take noguns out anymore, it's not worth the stress.

here's a picture of the case, which I kept, you can just barely see the nasty-ass bulge towards the case head.

>>33881239
>9x18 in a 9mm luger
wait, would that actually break anything? I thought 9x18 was lower pressure.

Basically >>33881161 , I don't want to destroy my fragile social life that right about now is non-existent. I'd blame it on college but I really didn't reach out to anyone after class.

I hanged out with them because I didn't know anyone else outside of that. Well except that one dude from Wisconsin who was always nice for some reason.

I knew some of the nerdier folks, but never felt like hanging around with them even though I'm into robotics and sciences.

A lot of the teachers weren't just boomers, but also the X generation. Being in a liberal area, well, it spawns liberal teachers. Who would've figured, right?

My political views weren't changed though, rather reinforced. Helped me see how biased teachers can be.

I don't support liberal economics or gun bans. I'm not afraid of war. I'm not afraid of dying for my country when she is in dire straits. I'm not afraid of going outside and helping the homeless and down trodden and then expecting a pat on the back. I don't find socialism a good idea because human nature. I'm don't jump to conclusions about which party does what because I know from first hand experiences the problems that causes. I like to wait and listen. That's something that differs from a good portion of my former classmates.

>>33881186
Worst part, this is suburbs. Luckily, the cops here are really fucking lax. Hasguns isn't that hard relative to the cities, still annoying as fuck (month wait at worst for license.)

>>33881341
>then expecting a pat on the back.

Not expecting, the homeless are nice, but I really don't care. It's more of a compulsion that was reinforced into me as a child rather than something that I do for fun.

>>33881339
the 9x18 bullet is actually wider than 9x19. it would likely squib in the barrel. the mosin was fine because .308 is narrower than 7.62x54r.

Depending on how long you've known these people, you can share your thoughts on those issues, and as long as you back it up with provable things you should be fine. As long as the reasoning behind your beliefs is sound, and they aren't shitty people, they should remain friendly with you

That's a great idea.

I make my free loading brother in law buy ammo when we go shooting.

Cheap fuck won't even buy a gun, but want to shoot mine all the time.

So I started telling him to bring ammo. He bitched but that first time all I had was 50 rds. Now he know to swing by Walmart and stock up.

He finally when out and bought a gun two. Six years later.

If it's my first time taking them shooting I supply the ammo. After that, they can pitch in.

>tfw taking 3 noguns shooting in 2 days
JUST

>>33880666
I'm being a pedantic prick here Mr. Satan, but the proper terminology is double stack, single feed.

>>33884062
>>33886040
Follow this man's example. Like or not, you're an ambassador to guns, so make their first experience shooting a fun one free of the need to worry about ammo prices.

Can't afford it? Don't take people shooting.

I'll usually buy 500-1000 rounds of a given ammo type before taking people out to shoot and letting them go hog wild (after careful instructions, of course.)

Don't be a jew.

>>33880408
He was partly correct, the whole reason militaries switched to musket's was because it was easier to teach mud eating peasants how to use a musket despite bow and arrow being a more effective weapon at the time. Same reason most armies used spear's over sword's, cheap as fuck to make and it's not hard to teach some farmboy who has never seen a weapon before how to use the damn thing

>>33886476

>despite bow and arrow being a more effective weapon at the time.

Not during the time of muskets they weren't.

>>33886476

Spears were mainly used over swords because they are more effective as group fighting weapons.

>>33886549
This.

Swords were sidearms. Basically analogous to pistols. Most actual footsoldiers fought with shields and spears or other polearms.

>>33881341
What the fuck?

I live in Canada, and I've been talking to peers and teachers about guns since grade 10. I'm in college and I still talk about it.

I got this cute girl to want to go shooting, and you wouldn't realize how many people are into or already have guns. I have 2 profs with thier licenses. In grade 12 I had a aps teacher (of course) who flat out said she will never be 'for' guns, but always wanted to go shooting.

I refuse to believe that any part of the US save LA is worst at stigmatizing guns, than downtown Toronto.

It's probably you senpai.

>>33886476
>Bows were more effective

Than a musket at punching through plate?

No.

130lb Longbow couldn't do shit to contemporary plate.

Could swear longbows were still considered amazing for quite a while after muskets showed up. Only thing is you have to have a bunch of dudes who have trained for a long time and gained hulk strength upper bodies to make it good and losing those men is a massive loss of investment when you can train a man to use a musket in far less time.

>>33886903
Wasn't actual plate not really that common, especially among the lower ranks that make up the majority of an army?

>>33881043
The roadie wrap. "Over worked, under paid..."

>>33880349
It's usually just shooting all my ammo slavshit and birdshit so at least it's fairly cheap. The single most common thing I see is when range cold is called they want to go until click rather than clearing, putting the safety on, and putting it down. Usually get uppity when they're told to put it down until the range is hot again. Beyond that I've been muzzled a few times, always with a .22lr. I guess people just don't take it seriously enough to realize you still ought to be following basic safety rules.

>>33881239
>>33881339
I had exactly this in the shop yesterday.
Dude had a CZ75 and was gifted some boxes of assorted ammo.
Came in with a 9mm Mak stuck halfway in the chamber (wouldn't even completely chamber, let alone fire).

>>33886932
Bows were still in use when firearms in general came to the scene, but by the time arquebuses had been replaced by muskets, they were gone.

>>33886410
this, first time free
second time ask that they chip in a bit

>>33886966
full armor was rare, but your average foot soldier would have a breastplate, gambeson, and helmet at least and possibly other small pieces

didn't want to make a thread for this, I have a bandoleer of 12 gauge shells both slugs and buck that has been on the bandoleer in my safe for like over a year.

I never really have the forethought the shells could get moisture in them, I inspected the primers of all the shells for rust/moisture and I shook them. They will be alright to shoot right?

>>33887541
they're absolutely fine
if you're worried about moisture in your safe (and you should be) get a bunch of desiccant and put it in there

>>33880349
Goddamn I got friends who just bring a box of shit bird shot. Shoot it a few times go take a break, but sure as fuck though they shoot their whole box before they leave.

>>33881187
Jesus!, poor handguns

>>33881239
Funny, I haven't thought of that in years. I knew a guy who routinely shot surplus 7.62x 51 nato out of his nugget. It never blew up but I wouldn't recommend it.

>>33884062
Me too. After the first time you can pitch in some dough or bring your own.

>>33887587
This is good advice. I keep a dehumidifier running outside my safe as well.

>>33880408

He isnt entirely wrong though, its not hard to learn how to shoot a gun competently, although to be a master shot is different.
This is why modern armies could get so large, you could assemble competent fighting forces in little time from people with no prior experience

the whole reason militaries switched to muskets was because they had more penetrating power than longbows and thus could punch through plate armor. the fact that they were easier to train on than longbows was just extra cream.

>>33891217
This, The longbow may have technically had a longer range, but that was when firing in a high arc, and had to be fired in large groups hoping that a few would hit gaps in the enemies armor. Bows weren't able to effectively punch through armor at range, while a musket could.

>>33886871
Cities are mostly liberal, rural areas are mostly conservative, and the US is mostly rural.

Update:
We aren't going to be taking noguns anymore because they fuck around too much.

>>33892311

>>33892377
I guess I should mention we're taking one who is interested in being safe and trying out our stuff to see what she wants to get. Also she went and got her own ammo without us saying anything. She knows she already had her "first time's free."
You can tell she's from California though because she doesn't believe the maximum freedom we enjoy here in Montana. License this, permit that.

>>33892438
Tell me about it. Im in leaf land

>>33881169
I don't get how this is "in and out." Isn't it just making a loop?

>>33891217
Other way around. Firing a longbow is a learned skill that requires physical capability which can take years to develop. A musket just takes the aptitude to load and fire. You have to remember at the time that most armies were levees at the time as well (at least in the beginning) instead of professional soldiers.

You would have more of an argument if you stated crossbows instead of longbows, but would still be incorrect.

>>33892465
Basically the only law is that you need a concealed permit for inside city limits. No permits or anything required for concealment anywhere else. Open carry is legal everywhere of course (sans the standard govt. buildings etc). No background checks required, no licenses or permits required, full-auto/suppressors aren't inherently illegal. FFLicensed places follow the 18/21 age requirements and run background checks to cover their asses but they aren't legally obligated and aren't followed in private sales. If you timed me I could go buy a gun right now and come back home with it in about 20 minutes. I can buy as many guns and as much ammo as I want all at once. The only reason they would not sell to you is if you were drunk. You can shoot almost anywhere if you're safe. Federal laws are followed... mostly.

We don't have "mass" shootings, we've got 6 people per square mile, and sometimes you'll encounter bears walking around downtown.

>>33891319
Not to mention to draw a longbow back far enough to travel far and hit hard enough to kill someone required an insane amount of upper body strength. With muskets, all you had to do was be quick on reloading and be able to handle the recoil.

>>33892797
Supposedly, the Mongolians did have something that made anyone a walking (well technically laying down) crossbow. Heard they did this en mass, sort of like a primitive artillery barrage.

>>33884062
That's precisely what I do

>>33892774
Once you have you PAL, or gun license up here you can buy as many long guns as you want as often as you want with no problems and no waiting period. Hand guns and some "assault rifles" are restricted . That means a special license which isn't a big deal really. You can only shoot them at an approved range which you are usually a member of. However, many assault rifles are prohibited and any hand gun in 25 cal or 32 cal is automatically prohibited. For instance a Luger which is a largish hand gun is prohibited because the barrel is 1/2 inch too short. Infuriating.

This statement is regurgitated online a lot nowadays, but it really isn't accurate. Modern sidearms literally are never used, and are much less effective than primary weapons. Swords were used all the time, and were the main weapon of several armies. That is not analogous to pistols at all. The biggest example of this inconsistency is the Romans, and the Romans are pretty major player to have contradicting your analogy. The Romans' (and many of their contemporaries, such as several celtic tribes, as well as the samnites and the dacians) main weapon was the sword. As for effectiveness, if arming everyone with swords was a bad idea, they probably wouldn't have conquered fucking everyone worth conquering.

Further even among forces that didn't primarily use swords, they would often have troops that exclusively or primarily carried them. (such as in pike and shot combat you still had assholes with big two-handed swords to fuck everything up)

And I really want to drive it home, swords were used a lot. The longest phase of greek phalanx warfare was when the spears broke or the lines pushed too far in, and sword combat began. The main reason they weren't used more was that most people couldn't afford them. As soon as a culture got access to the materials and technologies to start pumping out ample steel, everyone who could got a sword. They might still be a side-arm, but not in the same way modern pistols are. They were used, frequently, and were a necessity on the ancient and medieval battlefield.

>What do you mean it isn't free for me to shoot 100 rounds of .223

Do you guys who shoot/stock up on 1000+ rounds shoot anything besides .22, 5.56 and 9mm? Even reloading most of my milsurp rifles are close to 60-65cpr.

>>33894269
Tbh those plus 12ga and .308 are the only rounds I really need to stock up on, because those are what my working guns use. Everything else I can just buy or reload piecemeal as I need it.

>I only drive manual cars without power steering

>>33894399
I guess i forgot about shotgun sports, serious clay busters put me to shame with their round count. Im not hating on ARs or AKs, i don't find them very fun but i see why people like them. It just blows my mind that people can burn through 500+ rounds regularly, i can barely keep 100 rounds of .303 on the shelf.
I guess if you always buy 2 boxes and only shoot 1 i can see it getting stocked up pretty quickly.
>>33894337
Should've just put do you guys shoot anything besides the super common calibers. Is x39 still like .22cents

>>33894442
I can't imagine going out and only shooting a box of ammo.

Maybe it's just because going to the range is kind of a production for me, but it sounds ridiculous to drive out there, set everything up, shoot 20 rounds, then have to clean everything afterwards. I guess I can understand it if you're shooting something expensive, but not something like .223.

>>33894442
If you shoot 2gun or 3gun, you're going to go through a fuckload of 9mm, 5.56 and 12ga(for 3gun) just practicing. $5,000 raceguns are nice, but what wins competitions is practice.

If you're shooting long range (800+ yds) I can see it. Fire once, wait for the barrel to cool, fire again, and so on. Match grade or reloaded precision ammo is also expensive. When I'm going out with me 6.5 Creedmoor, I won't take more than 40-50 rounds and I know people who will just take a single box of 20.

Of course, if I'm banging away with a semi-auto at anything under 300 yards, I'll generally use cheap mil-spec or surplus and go through a few hundred rounds an hour.

Im not talking bad about practice and i usually have at least a few boxes of pistol ammo with me when i go to the range, i was just wondering if anybody had those insane round counts with a fullsized rifle. im mainly shooting milsurp so i understand if i shot at the same volume id be eating nothing but ramen.

is 3 gun any fun? i dont have an AR but it looks like it would be an ok way to kill the afternoon

>>33894558
I've never done 3 gun, but even if you have absolutely no interest in shooting one, now is the time to buy/build and AR and stock up on mags and ammo for one.

Due to every AR vendor and their brother trying to empty warehouses they stocked to the rafters for the election, for well under a grand you can buy either a complete rifle, or a complete lower and complete upper that you "build" into a rifle by pushing in two pins, a dozen or so mags and 2k rounds of .223. Take a few hundred rounds out to the range one day, test it out to make sure everything works, then just leave it in the safe for a rainy day if you don't care for shooting it much.

>i was just wondering if anybody had those insane round counts with a fullsized rifle.
Maybe people who shoot He-Man 3gun, or really dedicated NRA high-power shooters who spend entire days at the range. Most fullsized disciplines are pretty low roundcount sports, it's just the nature of the beast.

>is 3 gun any fun? i dont have an AR but it looks like it would be an ok way to kill the afternoon
Yes, but I vastly prefer 2gun myself. It's a lot more mobile and physical whereas 3gun has become a lot more static and dumbed down for fatties and oldies. The rules are also less restrictive and gamified. Like HEMA vs olympic fencing.

>>33894584
Also this. Now is the perfect time to get into ARs.

>>33894584
I have been thinking about building an AR for highpower matches, i doubt it would be competitive in a run n gun match but i like how A2s look, except the grip.

>>33894603
Il look into matches in the area then. Whats the main difference between 3 gun and 2 gun besides the obvious. 2 gun is rife pistol?

Id like to shoot distance more but like everybodies been saying match ammo isnt cheap, even if you reload for it

>>33893163

>I only drive manual cars without power steering

It's the same as, say, shooting milsurp instead of an AR. It's less efficient, but generally more enjoyable.

>>33893923
I guess that a backup dagger a solider carried on his belt is a better equivalent.

I primarily do 3D art (want to go into games eventually) and get called that because I usually use real world weapons for reference.

People are stupid.

It depends on the time period. As metal working got better plate was more affordable.

>meet with female friend
>used to have a crush on her years ago but now both of us are in a relationship
>mentions she thinks shooting in is really cool and says she'd like to go with me some time
>some flirting going on, she repented vegetarianism and is still hot
>decide it's better not to meet for a while
>half a year later I am finally hasgunz
>start dreaming about tight groups and pounding her tight holes at the range

>>33897255
quit being a fag and take her shooting

>>33889605
No, you're an asshat

>>33881239
I yelled at some of my *hasguns* friends for a good five minutes a year ago or so.

>Having range day
>Not paying attention to the loading table - I had my Colt Navy out, and I have to be the one to load it.
>Get it loaded up without caps, wait for the guy I was loading it up for to finish a mag from a different friend's SIG P220 in .45
>Fires a round, sounds really fucking weird
>"Hold up!"
>Fires another, still really fucking weird
>"Cease fire!"
>"What's up?"
>Takes the mag out, loaded fucking .40 S&W in there.
>Go to table to inspect the fuck out of it.
>See at the table the guy who owns the P220 only slightly concerned.
>He's loading an AK magazine.
>With fucking 5.56.
>"RANGE COLD, IT'S LECTURING TIME!"
>Chewed them both the fuck out

Seriously, I'd been shooting with them both for five years at that point. They knew fucking better.

told this story a few months ago but It's still a shining example
>father is noguns
>offer to take him to the range
>breaking in m9, rented a PS90
>trying to teach him safety and how to aim well
>unnerved by how often I need to tell him about trigger discipline
>fairly accurate at 10m, not bad for his first time
>step back
>RO starts chatting me up about the PS90
>says father is doing fairly well
>feels good because first time teaching anyone to shoot
>father comes over says 'I hurt myself'
>look at his hand
>slide bite
>RO laughs and gets a bandaid for him
other than that It was pretty fun, he was considering buying one after that,

Same here. I've been drawing 2D guns for years. Got called a columbine type throughout highschool. Only person who tolerated and even encouraged me was my engineering and shop teacher.

>ITT: Stupid things noguns have done when you've gone out shooting.

I always get flagged despite a thorough 10 minute explanation of basic firearms safety.

>>33881381
>the 9x18 bullet is actually wider than 9x19

uhhhh.... you don't know how that works, do you?

>>33902418
"It is a myth that the Soviet military required that their ammunition should be incompatible with NATO firearms, as caliber in the USSR is measured between the lands in the rifling and not the grooves. As such, 9×18mm Makarov ammunition uses a larger diameter bullet than other common 9 mm rounds, measuring 9.27 mm (0.365 in), compared with 9.017 mm (0.355 in) for 9×19mm Parabellum."

There is zero excuse for being flagged by a new shooter, and it's your fault.

If I have to explain why you should not be bringing new shooters with you.
