Given how self defense shootings play out, these seem to be the ideal.Consider the following:>the record for the most attackers shot by a concealed carrier, which has stood at 4 since 1984, was set by a guy with a 5 shot revolver and no additional ammohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernhard_Goetz>the only other documented scenario involving a concealed carrier shooting more than 2 attackers took place on a bus with 3 shots fired into 3 attackershttps://6abc.com/septa-shooting-teens-shot-on-bus-bustleton-avenue/6107263/>reloads basically never happen in self defense scenarios, with John from Active Self Protection not finding a single example where a reload was needed across the tens of thousands of videos from all over the world that he's analyzed, in the comments he further mentions that he's only seen a dozen or so cases involving shooting to slide lockhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0tst9-_pPs>the average number of shots fired by police in shootings involving a single officer is only 3.59 (with a 51% hit rate), climbing to an average of 6.48 rounds total between all officers involved when considering situations with 3 or more officers shooting (with hit rate dropping to 9%)Keep in mind police shootings regularly have much higher round counts than normal self defense scenarios and there are plenty of documented examples of police needing to reload, since the police need to worry about chasing people down in order to apprehended them.https://www.policeone.com/officer-shootings/articles/117909-Study-reveals-important-truths-hidden-in-the-details-of-officer-involved-shootings/Comment too long.

>>5538980630 super carry is not for pocket pistols. Astronomically too high pressure. You will never see it in an LCP sized gun.
A valuable accessory for concealed carry regardless of what kinda gun you carry is of course a small folding clip knife which we all have but ALSO pepper spray, something many (mostly men) don’t consider but it can be very valuable in giving you a bit of time/space to step back to draw your carry gun if necessary and in places that ban concealed carry, (like bars in many states) you still have something to defend yourself from a drunken attacker. I recommend an ASP Palm Defender, which goes on your key ring (and is thus already in your hand when out and about and instantly deployable) and being small and nondescript, it looks like a penlight and isn’t bulky in the pocket.
Starting to get severe nuclear anxiety over this shit. Please help calm me down. Tell me we're all gonna be ok. Tomorrow is the official annexation day and after that.... who knows.
>>55396483>Russia won't use nukes right?The likelihood is fairly high that they will use a tactical nuke if their "mobilization" fails, and then it's a question of how the West will respond. Probably the response will be the heavy use of conventional munitions by the US on Russian positions in Ukraine.After that if Russia targets any Western nation with a nuke then it's a full nuclear retaliation coming for them and they won't survive. But then neither will billions of other people.
>>55396483I embrace nuclear anihilation. mankind doesn't even deserve to be destroyed by external factors but by its own hand. and it will happen eventually
>>55396483I was talking to Russia and they told me they have no intention of using nuclear weapons except for a precisely targeted strike on OP
>>55398211Anon channeling the spirit of Von Neumann>Von Neumann was, at the time, a strong supporter of "preventive war." Confident even during World War II that the Russian spy network had obtained many of the details of the atom bomb design, Von Neumann knew that it was only a matter of time before the Soviet Union became a nuclear power. He predicted that were Russia allowed to build a nuclear arsenal, a war against the U.S. would be inevitable. He therefore recommended that the U.S. launch a nuclear strike at Moscow, destroying its enemy and becoming a dominant world power, so as to avoid a more destructive nuclear war later on. "With the Russians it is not a question of whether but of when," he would say. An oft-quoted remark of his is, "If you say why not bomb them tomorrow, I say why not today? If you say today at 5 o'clock, I say why not one o'clock?">Just a few years after "preventive war" was first advocated, it became an impossibility. By 1953, the Soviets had 300-400 warheads, meaning that any nuclear strike would be effectively retaliated. https://cs.stanford.edu/people/eroberts/courses/soco/projects/1998-99/game-theory/neumann.html

Given the reality of how little you really need in a handgun for real world use cases, why doesn't the 3D printing community fully embrace the memes and focus on multi color disposable cyberpunk pistol designs rather than just making frames that you then need to spend most of the cost of a new gun on commercial gun parts to complete?
Disposable is for stuff that you can produce very quickly. 3D printing is slow as fuck and requires hand finishing. If you wanted to mass produce disposable guns you would need injection molding.
>>55398660printed guns are cheaper by a lot in many cases. you can make a glock 19 for about 270 dollars vs the 400+ you need to buy the actual thing. Then you can print your own mags for a few dollars each (including springs) and if you really wanna jew you can just make your own springs
>>55398758So all that time and effort for a throwaway to save $100? How many would you need to make to offset the cost of the printer and materials?
>>553988041, the 400 dollar price I gave was the cheapest ive seen any glock in store and it was the shitty .22 one. Glock 19's cost 600+ and I can make them so cheap it offsets the cost of the printer and material (it cost me 300 for my printer and a roll of PLA+) and you dont need to throw them away, if the frame crack you just take the parts out and make a new frame and its easy and fun to do
>>55398620I was gonna post why don't they just make liberator barrels int a pepperbox pattern but apparently that's already been done, next step is to make one that's a black powder muzzle loader shotgun with homemade electric ignition or percussion caps I wonder how well a plastic choke would work that said I wouldn't even buy a plastic factory made gun just cause I want stuff my great grandkids can still use and while polymer's made some real big advances it ain't even cheaper
I fear that all the laughingstock that Russia's military might has turned out to be will instill in our politicians an unshakable belief that "the West is the best".And then they will drastically reduce defense funding to cut corners and stop worrying about China, which they believe is even less ready to stand up to the United States than Russia.And after 10-15 years of lack of financing, our military-industrial complex will roll back 40 years in development, and all the "brain capital" will migrate to East Asia - and then it will be our turn to be the laughingstock.And then it will be the end for us.
>>55398677 Why dont they just stop the charade at this point and declare Xi emperor and the Politburo the imperial court?
>>55397235Not financing the military industrial complex is a good way to make sure you'll catch two bullets on your cabrio ride.
>>55398793But that would mean the useful idiots in the west won't support them, if they don't maintain the communist image.

>>55398774>tac vestyou talk like a fag and your shit's all retarded. what do you want to carry? The best cheap way is to use surplus gear for pouches and an H-harness. Do not buy a plate carrier without plates. Do not buy some garbage tier just as good carrier. If you can't afford something today save your fucking money. >>55398784don't let your dreams be dreams.

>>55397992Because they are a party that has no connection to SIG and the 320 was thrown into the contract without so much at stake as the US contract.If the insinuation is that the 320 was given a pass, then wouldn't that mean the Danish would have rejected it?They're testing criteria was also significantly more intense than the MIL-STD tests that the US did with a handgun that has now undergone dozens of revisions.
>>55398047I suspect something fishy is going on with that.
>>55398047Did they discover that the P320 wasn’t dropsafe? If that wasn’t a specific concern then I doubt the tests were objective or comprehensive
>>55398801Once again, you haven't looked into this at all because if you did you would know the XM17 submission had a lighter blade trigger and was never plagued with the drop safety issue because of this.After it was called into question that if you drop the pistol at a 60 degree angle from 6 feet in the air it MAY go off, they added the disconnect that they all have now as well.Initial phases of adoptions are also just that, initial phases. As with all contracts of this nature, SIG got the contract for the gun, received the full reports of the MHS testing, and then went back and revised the entire system to address each and every issue that the results highlighted (of which there were few, mostly resulting from the +P ammunition the Army is now fielding as standard)https://soldiersystems.net/2018/02/02/modular-handgun-system-things-arent-as-bad-as-the-dote-report-implies/

>>55395243Niggerbrained statement, China's wage inequality has grown since the mid 2000s.US manufacturing wages are collated at 25$/hr, Chinese manufacturing wages are collated at $1.48/hr. Those are 2021 numbers. Mexico was $3/hr in the same period, but still sees proportional leveragwe over US manufacturing for wage reasons.Total lack of environmental protection + cheap electricity are also a factor, but wages are still king.

>>55398504That's literally the only thing I care about during nuclear war.I will literally say goodbye bros and die since I live next to a place where nukes are kept.
>>55397065Why are Africa, China and the rest of Asia left out in this?
>>55397065US SLBMs can destroy the entirety of Russia's land based arsenal within 30 minutes of the first launch and 10 minutes of first warning to Russian leadership. The problem is that killing 30 million people in a first strike would be universally frowned upon.
You'd think that a country that isnt good at anything else would be at least decent at primitive brutal force against much weaker opponent, especially since they have so much practice at it? Is it all caused by the insane level of corruption and everyone always hiding info about issues when reporting higher ups to cover their asses? Or is it something more?
>>55395267Corruption makes you shit at everything. Corruption makes you shit at war.War has become a game of how wealthy you are (assuming you have some population you can spare.)Corruption makes you shit at state organization and management.

Russia will formally annex these regions of Ukraine on Friday. At that point, they will be under Moscow's nuclear umbrella. If Ukraine attempts to retake the regions, there's a good chance Moscow will use tactical nukes. What should/will Ukraine do?
