what do you think of this as a m2 browing replacement
>>47463199It doesnt need to... it can be because of the lower weight and impulse of replacements discussed ITT. And having 2 guns is a clear advantage over just 1 so why not?
>>47463240I'm not exactly seeing how it's a completely worthwhile advantage. A vehicle can only carry so much ammo, and that ammo being fed into a single gun means that it will be able to stay out in the field for a good amount of time. Giving two guns to a vehicle and both guns are going to be firing simultaneously at targets means that ammo is going to be burned faster and the vehicle will have to return to base to be restocked sooner. Not only that, but if the vehicle is using a remote weapon system, then it will be using twice the amount of expensive computers and equipment. If it gets taken out or needs to be abandoned then that's even more cost down the drain. And instead of simply upgrading the gun to something more worthwhile, you want to stick two of the same outdated .50 caliber machine guns on top? If it's going to be vehicle mounted, why don't you upgrade to something like a 25mm or a 30mm autocannon so that the vehicle will be able to engage more threats instead of burning twice as much ammo with an old cartridge? There's even a proposal for the JLTV for a RWS with a 25mm autocannon, but not a JLTV with two RWS .50 calibers. Why do you think that is?
>>47463292See >>47463091You are repeating yourself.>if the vehicle is using a remote weapon systemIf.
>>47463313If your vehicle isn't using a remote weapon system, then that's even more reason not to use multiple machinegun mounts. That's something that's been tried in WWI and WWII, it was seen as inefficient use of space and guns. Also, I'm not the second guy you quoted, I'm coming to the same logical conclusions he came to based on how fighting vehicles developed over time.
>>47454379>rate of fire is adjustable, it can be changed.>>47453474>>47458852so the M2 upgrades according to wikipedia, based on the change-log of the US military, mostly the army.>remove water jacket for heavy barrel>heavy barrel improvement kit>light barrel variant kit (aviation)>quick barrel change kit for head space correctionin addition to this, and you would have to check military records, they replaced a lot of internal parts with improved version, they aren't noted because they take the same shape and form just a different material.
Why is /k/ still convinced that homemade firearms are a viable option? Lutys constantly jam in operation and so you end up on an ATF watchlist for no good reason
>>47462255what 3d printer should i get?
>>47462255>google FCG-9>requires AR parts or realistic-ish airshitnigger do you think a Chinaman or an Australian or some other thirdoid can get access to that?What really needs to happen is a simple polymer subcompact that requires absolutely zero specialized parts.
>>47461981hmm I like that I could upgrade this if I wanted to anon... You are very knowledgeable it sounds like in this. I appreciate you taking the time to answer me, and providing a link to what appears to be investment. Is this made in the US?
>>47463437any mill can be changed to CNC anon
>>47458868Luty doesn't work "fine" on the best of days, with factory-made ammo. It sort of works, when it feels like it. It's simply not a good design, too many corners cut to make it sort-of accessible (but not really) to a layman. You still have to learn a lot and teach yourself through trial and error. Takes months of work. Why bother? Just go full retard, spend a thousand more dollars to get tools and materials that are actually good enough (you don't need machine-tools). And then just make a normal first generation SMG which is not any worse and maybe even better than a Grease gun. It'll actually work and be safe and be reliable."DIY guns", except for simple zip guns and pipe shotguns, are a huge worthless meme. FGC-9 is the first one in history that is sort-of worth it.

>>47429310So the bitch is on notice that he can always get a Second Wife.
>>47439889If you marry then pay to get a prenup so that bitch won't be able to get your benefits if she fucks jody and then dumps you.
>>47457873If you're thinking about it then just ducking do it. I'm 34 now and no branch wants someone that old despite my degrees/fitness/language skills.
>>47451658I wanna join the reserves as an MST is this a dumb move?
>>47464118>>47464164>>47464597so is this a meme or what>Knowingly giving false information or withholding required information on any recruiting form is a criminal offense (When the information would have made an individual ineligible to enlist, or would have required a waiver to enlist). It's not a misdemeanor, it's not the same as getting a speeding ticket. It's a felony offense, punishable by a $10,000 fine and three years in prison.
Post cool guns in cool movies, I'll start>only kino I'm aware of where a Hollywood meme gun makes complete sense for characters to use

Can't believe no one posted this yet
Hey /k/ommandosSomeone recently offered me a job as an unarmed school security guard. It’s the same pay as my current job, but it hasn’t benefits included which mine doesn’t.I hesitate to take him up on it because I’ve been working as an armed guard for a while and I don’t want to be unarmed.My gf hears me say this and thinks I’m choosing having a gun over a better future. She also expressed that I wouldn’t be far from help (campus police) and that I would be less likely to need to defend myself because “you’re more likely to be shot if you have a gun”.If you had to explain to someone why you feel that you need the gun, what would you say?I generally tell people “because it’s my right”, but I feel the need to explain deeper.Thoughts?
>>47464720>What happened to shooting guns?>proceeds to whine about the entertainment tastes of strangers he shares a hobby with
>>47464832Did you even read my post you fucking faggot? They can have their tastes, but it annoys me when guns are secondary to virtue signaling and "fandoms", which they absolutely are for too many people.
I used to guard a hostel, we were armed but after a year or so they decided to drop the gun cause it would save them money.Nothing much changed, but I started bringing my own gun to work and carrying it concealed. you never know what's going to happen. IMHO those people count on you and if shit goes down you'll be responsible, even if you aren't by duty.
>>47464886>guns are secondaryYou didn't mention their guns, you didn't mention how they shot, you didn't mention your guns, you didn't mention how you shot.You blog post on a gun board to complain about a strangers t-shirt, only in your whiney version of this strangers day at the range are guns a secondary concern.
> you’re more likely to be shot if you have a gunYou will also be more likely to shoot back. What the fuck is that argument? Oh I'm sure it's better to face the enemy unarmed because he's more likely to have mercy on you and not shoot lol

>>47463809>big brainCan only contribute a frog drawing. As if you could tell who was actually smart.
>>47446131I genuinely only got this thing because I saw someone use a 3d lower vz, I haven't need it for much else. I rather work with metal, but to the extent that maybe this technology is viable, it appears far more simpler than trying to do what other people against using this are saying to do.If all the alternatives take the same amount of time or more, is it really an improvement? Assuming the end goal is the same.

I come from a pretty conservative senpai, but since I'm an /NJ/fag, they're still not fans of guns.>My dadTypical Trump guy, but he thinks me spending money on multiple guns is "a waste of money" (I have four right now)>My momDespises them, thinks most of them should be restricted, thinks that I own fully automatic battle rifles>My aunt (dad's sister)we're close. The other day she stalked my Facebook, found out I commented on a gun store's post asking a question about ammo or something, and then complained to my parents that I own an AK-47 (the closest thing to that I have is an SKS). >My younger brothersThink it's based as hell, want to go shooting.>Rest of familyOne or two of my cousins know, they think its cool. The rest of my family doesn't know nor care, though I'm sure at the next family party after covid my aunt will spill the beans lol
>>47462245:(Sorry brother. What has your dad told you about her? Was she also gun-pilled in her time?
>>47463938they reproduce maternally, its to their benefit one of their oldest tricks
>>47453108My Father thinks I'm scared of someone, in his true schizo fashion. My Mother, having grown up in the heart of Afrika on a farm obviously doesn't care. My sister doesn't like guns, and hates that I have more than what's necessary for defending the Cabbage patch. My Grandma was pleased, having lived on a massive farm for years, where it was common for the men to bag a deer every so often after the day's work was done. The most opposed is my dog, who absolutely loathes the prospect of being stuck inside when someone else is doing something outside and there are bushes to explore, rabbit holes to be dug up, and so on and so forth.
Immediate family is all supportive. All cousins are infavor. Even Conviced the ones that didnt have any to get some rifles of their own. I love being Southerner.
>>47460007Well you also gotta pay insurance and for every checkup they do on your guns + the safe so ~4k to be able to have it ~100 to get the owning license and for every checkup they do on your safe and guns 2-3 times a year 100-400€ depending on your amount of weapons and if you aren’t there youll still pay and then you havent even gotten the weapon itself
What's the point of this maneuver?
>>47458095>>47458166>>47463498third worlders are all retards.
>implying it's a Russian manoeuvre>implying a SAAB Draken is an expensive air show ballerinahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqiDEcfSnXs
>>47457198slow down
>>47457198To show off the flight characteristics of an airframe.The true benefit of being able to perform the maneuver is that it shows the pilot can induce pitch and yaw changes in a post-stall situation where more conventional aircraft would be dead at the stick. It makes the plane more safe, especially when the pilot goes into a zoom climb and goes into a deep stall in thin air.From the jewgles:>A Deep Stall, sometimes referred to as a Super Stall, is a particularly dangerous form of stall that results in a substantial reduction or loss of elevator authority making normal stall recovery actions ineffective. In many cases, an aircraft in a Deep Stall might be unrecoverable. I'd say the disadvantage to maneuvers is that it can disrupt normal turbine operation and cause the likelihood of engine surge.
>>47458117cool beans, how did it happen?1v1 no missiles? who was the bad guy?what were you riding?what gun, etc.?
Post your war belt. Here's mine. R8 or h8, m8s
>>47463534>ucp anythingyes
>>47449144Why would you put a rail on that AK?
>>47461855Because I'm fairly certain that's not the OG /gq/ discord, but the actual /gq/ discord is pretty much all trannies and feds, so everyone knows to avoid that dumb shit.
>>47464640Probably wanted to use the rail mounted light like in the picture
>>47457479This is in border between vest and harness
hey /k/ here in this thread we will discuss our gun waifu's.This is mine Irene 'rally' Vincent from Gunsmith Cats she really hates ATF and shit and she's pretty hot. What are y'alls?
>>47455730Anon will have to settle for double dates to the range where we try and defuse Milly and Meryl's respective firearms autisms and get them to carry proper autoloader sidearms in addition to their signature pieces. Like, a derringer makes an excellent holdout weapon but Meryl really doesn't need fucking fifty of them. And Milly could stand to have something on hand less than 6ft long.
>>47444967But doze tiddies doe
>>47460538Or you can just revel in the awesomeness of it. I mean if you're at the range you don't have to consider the practicality of the weapons, you can just enjoy whipping 50 fucking darringers out of your trench coat and dumping them into a target 20ft away.
>>47445018Who?
>>47448747>>47448605What is this?
AK General /akg/Milled Chad Edition>Thread #1146Old thread here: >>47450621
>>47464850It would require more than just that they would have to end the filibuster too, but there are democrats who don't support ending the filibuster.Also the Georgia republicans are projected to win their elections, and what the fuck are you doing to help them?GOA is doing a mass phone call drive where you can donate your time to volunteer to call up people from Georgia and remind them to vote for the republicans in the run off to protect the 2nd Amendment.I've donated hours of my time already doing it, yet I bet you have just been sitting on your ass talking about how Joe's going to ban all the guns and ammo and everyone needs to panic.
>>47464852>my rifle doesn't have X therefore problem Y doesn't existThat's not how it works anon. Besides what "fitting the trigger correctly" even mean, filing it and polishing it until the angles are gone and you have something that somewhat look like a proper surplus trigger and where your action cycles without feeling like shit ? You should be a janitor if you like doing it for free.And let's talk about the pull weight. What are you supposed to do if it's too light ? Bend your main spring with a pair of pliers ? Again, it implies a structural modification on the parts of your rifle, the same way they tell you TO GROUND DOWN THE FUCKING RIVET if the disconnector tail beats the shit out of it. I'm sure you can see the issue here : any manufacturer telling you to modify your 1K$ rifle or more somewhat extensively and permanently for à 50$ or so trigger is the clear sign that something isn't designed as it should. In any case, rivet or not, i can guarantee you that your bolt carrier is taking far more of a beating with an angular ALG hammer than a smooth and curved one. Don't cope on that because this is a fact, not an opinion.
>>47464893>Don't cope on that because this is a fact, not an opinion.It actually is opinion, and in fact speculation, since you don’t know shit about how my rifle is setup, but whatever guy, I’ll enjoy my ALG and you can keep being a paranoid autist.
>>47464912Correct. I don't know your rifle. I do know how AKs action work though. This is neither an opinion or a speculation. A bolt carrier going back "pushes" the hammer back, the bolt carrier tail is the first one to make contact. It has to "run" on the hammer a little bit. Friction = wear. Angles = friction.
>>47464831>You're not old enough to remember mail order catalogues for gun stuff are you?No i remember them, the transition is gonna suck shit though. Online is just so easy, what was done with a click is now a mail in check.
I am not a gun nut but why does this police officer uses a holo and the iron sights at the same time?https://hoodsite.com/florida-deputies-release-bodycam-video-officer-shot-suspect-killed-chase/
