>>49634972Next testing involved auto glass and smoke. Some people have been murmuring that the warmer tone of the rein is better at cutting through smoke and auto glass than a cooler 600df or similar light. We set off a bunch of simple kno3 smoke and a bunch of heated olive oil as our smoke being that it was not a foggy night out. Independent of distance people found the hot spot of the rein to be a little better at punching through smoke due to the hot spot not spilling back as much light off of the smoke, so finally a usecase for the rein.Next came auto glass. We had a couple vehicles with varying degrees of tint, dirt and shape of glass on the vehicle. Vehicles were sitting roughly 10m from the light sources as we moved around them. We started with windshield tests and found the rein to end up putting more light into the car due to the hotspot but at the cost of producing a worse overall image due to the amount of highlighting the warm tone did to mud and dust on the auto body. The 600df illuminated less of the inside of the vehicle but was able to cut through the mud and dust on the windshield significantly more effectively which produced a better image of the drivers seat.Next came side auto glass where we had a good bit of tinting to play with. The rein here became borderline unusable due to the hot spot. While it was able to punch through the glass easily it created so much glare off windows irrespective of tinting that the shooter was forced to illuminate and approach the vehicles at an oblique angle to reduce the glare. Secondary observers at assorted angles didnt have the same reflection issue the shooter did but it was still extremely difficult for a shooter to close the gap to search the vehicle while on a directly perpendicular line of approach. M600df by contrast produced significantly less glare off for the shooter and the oblique approach requirement was thus reduced. Window tint had little effect on the higher output lights.
Surefire best, multicam best. I am vindicated.
>>49632963This is my 16" beater lmt with a centurion handguard. It's solidly reliable and accurate, but they're all going to be carbine gas in LMTs standard/nonMRP configurations. I have an 11.5 mrp and a 14.5pw barrel waiting on a backordeded mrp upper but for the premium you pay for a factory new standard one from LMT (this was one of those $600 posurp rifles from a few years back) I would recommend going for the mrp instead and drop the fsp build unless you really have a hankering for it.
>>49635048And lightning round of quick observations:>If you are not pointing the light directly at someone even the slightest suppressor/barrel shadow will completely define your orientation and highlight you much easier to the threat. Threats found it much easier to engage people with that nice frame of reference vs floating orb of light as presented by a good light setup>Micro rein is somehow cooler in terms of light temp than full size rein? Sample size of 2 micro 2 fullsize.>If you are searching for someone at an unknown distance with any white light it is too slow. The ability for targets to track and engage you is hilariously easy.>Surefire G2x very similar in terms of spill to 600df which is cool for home defense guns>Malkoff thing had really good spill but the output was hilariously poor>Search skill > light type>X300U unbeatable for the applebees self defense situation.>Everyone ITT should go actually use their weapon lights to look for things outside.Basically, stop arguing over lights and trying to spend more money. If you are trying to find someone inside out to medium distance the 600df is the ticket without question. If you are trying to find people at longer ranges it doesnt matter how cool or gay your light is you will simply miss them. Rein kinda dumpy for most situations. No modlites tested but I would have had high confidence for either of them.

I'm kind of sick of Benchmade knives. I hate the axis lock, it sticks too much, it has no assisted one handed opening, and I just think they're overrated. I'm looking into getting a new EDC knife. Was looking at a Kershaw or CRKT, only ever owned one Spyderco and it was a Delica. It was alright, though a bit tiny, though I guess I don't need a giant knife. I think Spyderco's are also kind of overhyped/overrated. Don't really care for the hole in the blade design. Anyone have any recommendations for a Kershaw or CRKT? I feel like they're cheaper or lower grade, but I don't always like to believe more money means better quality. Was thinking of getting a Leek or a Blur from Kershaw? I don't like a lot of the CRKT knives. The CEO looks interesting to me, but I usually always bought Spyderco or Benchmade in the past probably because of the hype surrounding those two brands. I've heard a lot of people like Kershaw though.
>>49634495No u
>>49634828This, hogue is fucking based.
>>49634299buck 119 masterrace here. theres nothing to go wrong on a nice big fixed blade. i can carry it around and open boxes with it, and if i have to i can put down a pit bull with it
>>49634446actually, a lot of both crkt knives and kershaw knives are made in china. look it up broseph. they import them from chinese slave labor factories. yes, some are made in usa but most are not
>>49634409>Stop buying chinese products rebranded under American names, buy better quality products for less money straight from the source.Sanrenmu is Chinese made. Also metal handle is meh.

>>49634887The guy who slapped Macron actually got 18 months in prison for a single slap. If you got beaten half to death by niggers in france guess what would happen ?
>>49635074Yes, especially if you're a guy. You'd be part of maybe 5-10% of the male population your age.
>>49634445>>49634750>The report confirms the opinion that thanks to the continuous improvement of its components, the life of the Panther tank has increased. The average lifespan of a Panther can now be roughly equal to that of a Panzer IV with around 1,500 - 2,000 kilometers between two major repair and maintenance processes.>And,>gearboxes also have a longer life. Even so, in several cases, at approximately 1500 km, the gear has broken down and the boxes have had to be replaced.[120][121]>Unteroffizier Krause of a Panther workshop platoon has driven his Panther recovery tank – Chassis No. 212132 – 4,200km until 3 May 1944 without any needing to replace any parts. About 1,000km of this was made towing another Panther tank. The vehicle and engine are still in great condition and operational.[122][123]>On 28 June 1944, Guderian reported:>Regarding the experiences in opposing the Allied landing in Normandy: The Panzer IV, Panzer V Panther, and Panzer VI Tiger have proven to be successful. The Panther is inclined to catch fire quickly. The lifetime of the Panther's engines (1400 to 1500 km) is much higher than the Panther's final drives. A solution to the final drive teething is immediately needed.[124]Which led to>In September and October 1944, a number of modifications were fitted into the final drives as countermeasures to the reported problems including worn gear teeth, parts, bearings, and insufficient lubrication.[125]Don't be one of those retards here who builds his whole opinion on memes.
>>49630979>What is the greatest tank of WW2In order. Centurion[power-gap]Comets[power-gap]T-34 series (T-34-85 on) Sherman's (M4A2 on)Panzer IV (Ausf.H-J)Panther and Tiger were shit tanks unless you're constantly defending and need an anti-tank bunker that can move from A-B. Although, their assault guns were awesome and I am amazed the bongs never went the same direction with their own infantry tanks.
>>49634770>>49634750Meanwhile in reality during 1944 the Panther fleet was at only 55% operability and every single Panther tested by anybody else suffered massive mechanical failures relating to the gearbox or engine in under 100 miles of continuous driving. Panthers were still regularly exploding from backfires through to the end of the war.
>>49630981Specifically the M4A3E2 76(W) all the other variants were mediocre to poor at best.
Oh no Panther bros, we got too cocky!
Ive been wanting a snub nose like pic related for a while now any suggestions?Post your revolvers or ones you want anything is welcome
>>49634296>>49634460do you guys always ask about lockup and timing before buying a used revolver online?I've been jewed before by boomers who mention "I SAID SEE PICS FOR CONDITION YOU I'M NOT A GUNSMITH JUST A BUSINESSMAN" when it turns out the lockup is loose or the timing is off
>>49634516I did not ask.
What's the best double action .44 mag? I've been posting around threads trying to narrow down my first revolver purchase. I know about the Ruger Redhawk Alaskan. What are it's competitors? My syrupgat needs a cuddle buddy.
>>49632173So was your mom but I still put down the heifer
>>49632173After the 3rd range trip I started to get the hang of shooting my j frame. +ps are more accurate than standard , also recoil is the same . Not sure where people get the idea to only shoot those solely for defense , seeing that +p was standard pressure during the revolver days .
Made a post a few months ago about this but what the fuck. Been more or less ghosted by customer service when asking for progress reports, production hasn't even began on these as far as im aware (with said date being pushed back multiple times), and only 2 emails covering progress over the last 6 months. Is it really that hard to make gorka suits? Or is kommandostore just trying to rob me? I'm actually confused as to what's taking so long, anyone else make the mistake of pre-ordering one of the K2 gorkas?

Do l dare say, is it perfect??
>>49634094That doesn't appear to be a 1911 sir, so no
>>49634255lmao you suck at shooting
>>49634094Ugly as shit
>>49634094the curved non XL trigger is better
>>49634255You're a terrible shot if you can't get a decent group with a gun that size. You can easily get good groups out to 15-25 yds without that much practice.>>49634094I think it's a good CCW, but honestly going with the standard P365 with 12rd mags might be a better choice. The barrel on the XL is short enough that it's easy to carry AIWB if you aren't fat, but you will notice it while bending over. Then again I think the XL has less striker drag than the standard model, so there's that too consider.
Ya PSA buyin'
>>49633140That doesn't support your case, he's basically comparing animefagging to /pol/fagging
>>49634827My barrel nut was on so tight I had to cut it off
>>49634827A friend of mine bought a PSA AR and had his charging handle warp almost immediately. He had to bend it back into shape to get the gun to function.

>>49630010>>49631672how about I keep siccing my "stray" cats on your old decrepit nigbull and you do nothing about it nigger?
>>49629964only reason you should buy it is to immediately stick it in your mouth and pull the trigger after using its shitty break barrel action to load it and lobotomize yourself.

How often do soldiers get enemas due to severe MRE induced constipation? I'm curious after having a friend who served as a medic tell me about it. Pic unrelated.
>>49631865That is not true. MRE's have very poor fiber content. That's why they cause constipation. Fiber helps your bowels move along.
>>49633781IIRC there are two types of fiber, one makes it easier to shit while the other one makes you shit bricks
>>49632358YWNBAW
I've had a similar experience while camping on MREs. Explain this though, I got totally backed up but when I got home instead of the usual log I just instantly got a mud flow. How the fuck can constipation cause diarrhea

What's the ideal conceal carry position?
>>49634648God I wish I was that gun
>>49634648I carry on the side, appendix carry sucks dick when you're 5'3, even with a P365. That means I can carry something bigger like a G19 without much discomfort.
>>49634676>accidentally discharges in the head
>>49634867>successful draw - eliminate threat>failed draw - don't have to worry about said threat anymoreliterally foolproof
