What is the point of this branch of the military?
>>48979345I like that sweater, is it something you can wear casually without giving the impression you served? I have never served and I don't want some 50 year old boomer bothering me if I am going on a date with a cute girl because I am somehow disrespecting his sacrifice.
>>48979600wear a jacket to hide the pads. then you got a form fitting olive green wool sweater. the pads are perfectly placed for wearing a backpack and shooting prone

Not my pic but every time I go innawoods it’s with my G20 in a Kenai chest holster
This shit is ridiculous and I love it.

Fine.I'll do it.
Im an outlaw named after a state and a colour, what are my chances in a duel if an arizona ranger walks into the bar with one of those on his hips?
How long is PSA taking to ship out ammo these days?
>>48968081would not recommend unless you absolutely cannot get other drugs. 36 hours of psychosis.

Imagine one of these songs being the last music you heard before getting ventilated in the gut and smelling your own shit and piss.

Post Corona prices will never come back down to normal. It's easy to justify price increase during emergencies or shortages, but there's almost never an incentive to drop back down afterwards.
if it was ONLY panic buying, they'd be back to normal within a few years. i don't think that's what this is though. i don't think this shortage will ever go away. it will only get worse and more expensive until the ammo trickle completely stops.
Pretty much. Nothing we can do about it though. I've given up shooting as a hobby, it hurts but what choice do I have?
Competition is the incentive to bring them down somewhat. Note that imported ammo is already starting to make a difference.But all the printed money will drive up price inflation.Just be patient anon
>>48980505Yikes your the one who got ripped off man you could of gotten so much more. I sold 19 SKSs for ~$850 each
>>48980481just make more money
>Metallic glass is anywhere from 3x to 5x as hard as tungstenOk why aren't AP core rounds being made out of this?
>>48980751Quick follow up.Extremely hard to fabricate into useful components. Additionally many of them require the use of exotic and expensive elements for metallurgical reasons I won’t get into.
>>48980751>3mmThat sounds like a decent amount of cross section for a penetrator spike.
>>48980751If there's a will and utility, they will figure it out eventually for higher efficiency.
>>48980774Way too expensive to be worth it right now. Tool stew and tungsten work just fine. Tungsten especially has other features that make it a better armor penetrator than a metallic glass.>>48980774We’re working on it. There’s a lot of industrial interest in metallic glasses if we can figure out how to reliably form them. One of the biggest problems is they’re not very thermally stable. Metals really like to crystallize, and it doesn’t take much heat to get them to start crystallizing from the glassy state.
>>48980774Additionally metallic glasses have absolutely no toughness or ductility what so ever. The penetrator would shatter on impact. Hardness isn’t the only factor.
First off, I’m not here to discredit 3D printing. 3D printed lower receivers and PCCs have been shown to function properly and last thousands of rounds. However, I have to ask. Why aren’t sheet metal working techniques more popular? Sheet metal will always be stronger and more resistant to heat and chemical erosion (including humidity) than even the toughest filaments (polycarbonate, nylon, etc) consumer grade printers can handle. While the initial investment to break into metal working is a little bit higher, it’s not unreasonably high given the task. Not to mention that the market for parts is being threatened by the current administration. “Buy this kit, buy this upper” soon may not be an option.Why not redesign openbolt world war smgs to be closed bolt, and focus on designing rifles that can be made with a typical machining hobbyist setup.
>>48975682I agree, I really love how 3d printing is letting anyone have access to guns now. I genuinely think it'll make gun control near impossible.
>>48957560>Why aren’t sheet metal working techniques more popular?Because millennials don't own tools but they do fucking love 3D printers.
>>48958735Post pic of 20 tonne jack.
>>48978653Thank you anon, I appreciate it
>>48957560The best thing to do is to hybridize manufacturing processes. You can use 3D printing for lost casting and to make sheet metal pressing dies and for lots of parts with complex geometry.
I'm moving to MA. All my guns are illegal there. It hurts bros
>>48975767no brainer. >>48977106also this. Fuck healy
>>48965523Where are you now?Not that I want an answer. You need to realize that Taxachusetts is probably not worth the move. Oil the guns and lock them up, hide them, move when you retire.
>>48969120NRA is breddy gud at helping elect pols that resist anti-2A laws and put in better judges. Don’t fall for the divide and conquer tactics.
>>48976108Shut up, you.
>>48974687Hi. I live in California and want to by a POF415 or sig mcx but i don't think I can here (still don't know alot about gun laws, only gun purchase has been a DP-12)Is there a way to buy out of state or what would be best way to get one of these?I'm starting to take the mentality of these gentlemen due to all the chimp outs and media fanning the nig flames>>48965613>>48965625>>48966369Also based>>48966625

>muh dangerous I is skeeredDA trigger is usually north of 12lbs but the gun weighs less than that. You could pick the gun up by the trigger and it wouldn't go off. A glock WITH a trigger guard is more dangerous.>I c-ccan't cut a gun anon!Yes you can. You don't have to chop up some minty vintage detective special. Plenty of old beaters and new inexpensive revolvers you can have fun with.>revolvers are dumbNo U.If you love snubs like I love snubs and don't know the history behind the snub and its' relation to the Fitz special you should look into J.H. Fitzgerald. He is one of the biggest reasons mass produced snubnose revolvers are even a thing because they weren't a thing until he started doing his custom chop jobs at Colt. Colt eventually did a "factory" chop job on the Police Positive and called it the Detective Special. S&W said "haha fuck you we'll make a snub and call it the Chiefs Special we out rank you faggot!" and the rest is history.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitz_specialhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7M91tTJkyMMhttps://americanhandgunner.com/handguns/revolvers/they-called-him-fitz/http://sportsmansvintagepress.com/read-free/shooting-table-contents/

No idea what to put under this but I want a general on military tactics and logistics involving drones.

>>48971912>Only tangentially related but does anyone know the basic gestalt on how stuff like this can detect what kind of AA it is targeting? Modern computers with machine vision algorithms have no trouble identifying complex patterns, but if these were being developed in 2000 then they were surely using 1990s tech for the processors inside. How the fuck did that work? Counting the number of wheels visible, length to width ratio, how many tubes it carries in the back?It's probably not as complex as you think. It finds a thermal source then scans the laser over it to see if it's raised off the ground and vehicle sized. It looks like it has a secondary mode where it only uses laser data for parked vehicles. I can't imagine it can detect types of vehicles, just anything vehicle sized is going to get shot. It only works somewhere you know there is enemy vehicles and nothing else.
I'm trying to get into gunsmithing, any books you recommend?
>>48980379Its all on the net lol
>>48980379>any books you recommend?Ulysses by James Joyce
>>48980418thanks retard
>>48980379Not necessarily a book but this series of videos is extremely instructive.
