I'm thinking about burying my ar as a backup if my other weapons get stolen.Can I get some info on long term weapons storage under ground?
>>43418568Idk cosmoline maybe
>>43418568Don't.Seal them up, camoflauge the containers and suspend then in trees. Preferably evergreen for obvious reasons.
>>43419920the u in camouflage goes before the fit's ok, misplacing a u in a european word is proof of your burger heritage
>>43419920Why
>>43419920This is retarded. You’re going to get your guns stolen
How would it go?Pic unrealtd
>>43419119>Basically they’d have to use their lower stall speed (100 mph vs 150 mph) at low altitudes and tighter turn radius to their advantage to survive.And eat a missile for their troubles.
>>43418456>Why would he engage them in a dogfight?Because 90% of the retards who play DCS online dont know anything about ACM and energy tactics, and everything about that video is absolutely retarded, words cannot describe the idiocy involved in that video
>>43418408This video is what happens when someone buys $4000 worth of DCS modules and thinks it makes them an expert on ACM.
If only there was some relevant reference material we could use for this argument.Oh wait...https://youtu.be/f3XNEWtJF0o
>>43418408Never ever post a video of the most retarded outfit in all of DCS, you're giving us a bad name.Fuck the reapers and fuck their stupid youtube retardation
Is 27 too old to go into the military? I already have a degree so I wouldn't be going in as an enlisted, but some former milfags have been telling me it's too late for that life
>>43420159Yeah
Which begs the question, which one of you faggots is our Robert Brown?
>>43420160Yeah
>Why yes, I did know that the estoc was the most superior European sword, how did you know?
no
>>43419996https://albion-swords.com/articles/oakeshott-typology.htmStudy the Oakeshott typology and don't overthink it.
>>43420359I know about Oakeshott, I just can't decide which kind of a longsword should I buy. I think of XVIIIa or b, but are there any better types of swords that fit the era and area requirements?
>>43420296Prove what?
>>43419101>Estocfags>ChadsLMAO
Do you think historical combat was more scary than modern firefights?
>>43418352Probably more satisfying, in the sense that when it is over, it is definitely over. No worrying about snipers, landmines, ambushes, etc. If you won, then you won, period. If you lost, then well, you're probably already dead anyway.
yeah, bladed weapons have a larger impact on the psyche. That's why muggings with blades have better success than muggings done with a gun. Further, nobody actually gets shot in afganistan-type places today.
>>43418352To some extent, because you were close and you weren't necessarily aware of your side winning. It's probably 10x the intensity of a fps game since everyone is pretty close together.The terrifying thing about modern war is that a single man can destroy a city with a bomb.
>>43418352Depends on your position in combat. Today if you are in the front lines of any war, you have a good chance of living, fighting sand people, Vietnamese or Westerner powers it doesn't matter. Where in the Good ol' times if you were in the front line of a serious engagement you were going to die 99.9% of the time and the supporting troops were the ones who would see the battle though when one side starts to deplete. Also today the odds of being involved in seeing true carnage is low, it exists but not guaranteed as bullets and bombs are a rather clean way of killing people in general as opposed to a war hammer or pike from a spitting distance.
>>43418363just worry about getting splacked by a maul and waking up to torture or slavery
*makes every other optics company obsolete*
>>43419922We got Venom's dropping at slightly higher round counts than DPPs at our pistol club. Not sure I'd put them in the same category as an RMR2 or 507.
>>43419655>>43419663Neither of these are Schmidt & Bender though.
>>43419803>hold up as well as holosunI find it hilarious how you fags hate china and in the same breath compliment made in china optics.
>>43420188Bayesian inference, if I'm thinking of the right word.China put out shit for so long that when they finally started pushing decent electronics, people had a hard time believe the 507 was worth a shit. And it was the same thing in reverse for Luepold, because their reputation had people denying that Deltapoint Pros were dropping like flies after a few thousand pistol slide cycles.
>>43420071I don't think so paypig
Trying to find a video i saw about 13 years ago about this guy in some African shithole warzone with a G3, talking about how much he loves that gun and how he killed 10 people with it. Can someone point me to the right direction? Cant find that video
yahyah
>>43420077i cant find my "im monitoring this thread" image so this will suffice.If someone finds it please post and I will save it later upload to archive.org in case it's deleted by youtube.Then anons can download from archive.org easily and never lose it again.
Can we get a fudd guns thread going? Not a thread for bashing more modern or combat oriented designs but just a thread to admire and appreciate the craftsmanship and aesthetics that went into guns many of us may have grown up with or that were used by our fathers/grandfathers? I’m talking about guns such as the Marlin 336, Winchester 1894, Winchester Model 70, Remington Model 8, Savage 99, Colt Woodsman, etc.
>>43419822Another thing you could do is remove a bit more, then shape a repair block to fit the original contours, sand down to perfection and refinish. This is a factory repair on my sks, sorry it's not a fuddgun but it's the only example I have.
>>43419822I’ve a 30AS with fucked up sights I’m trying to replace. Williams fire sights on the rear of the receiver. I knocked out the dovetail rear sight in the barrel and replaced with that. Problem is the 30AS has a different front sight than the standard 336 so I’ve got to get a replacement that’ll be high enough.
>>43419898I went with a skinner front sight on mine, I'm pretty happy with it, easy to get a clear precise sight picture. I managed a 2" group on an SR1 target @100yd prone/slung last time I took it to the range, can't ask for much better then that out of a non-match rifle. >>43419872luckily the deer notches aren't super deep, so I won't have to remove much wood
>>43419451My local LGS is selling a new production Stevens favorite model 30 for $350. I never new these things existed in new production till today. Any word on them from a fellow fudd lover? Probably going to grab it anyway.
A thread for all things M1, there has never been a better time to get into Garands.CMP has received back over 100,000 M1's from abroad in recent years from Turkey, and the philippines, parts are more then abundant, and each rifle is backed with the service and support of the CMP, and starting at $650 they are a real value with rising costs of milsurps, CMP states at current demand they have enough supply to last into the 2030's, all this while CMP is working on getting the 600,000 M1 rifles in South Korea returned.>but the process of buying is to complicated!It's not, If you have a CCW you just need to buy a garand collectors club membership and you fulfill all the requirements, the hardest part will be containing your autism for 5 minutes to get your order forum notarized.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jShnZDM2_UAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1-bshef-G8
their prices aren't very competitive, surplus gun sales are meant to provide funding for the CMP, they aren't selling them to provide citizens with guns.
>>43420373>CMP states at current demand they have enough supply to last into the 2030Aw yisGives me enough time to get out of this communist state

>>43419899They also campaigned to leave the 31st of October and here we are
>>43419899EU won't accept it. It has to be unanimous, and 2-3 countries want to wreck the UK for having the audacity to jump from the ship before it sinks.

>>43419337mein negro. How long have you had yours for? I've had mine for maybe 6 months. That oem strap was pretty awful lmao. I do really like the watch now though!>>43419344LOL yeah. Taurus sure gets shit on I tell u wat

Did you ever get scared while in the military?

>>43404575SERE isn't the same. A SEREGRAD is just a selective reuptake graduate, it means you're a flight instructor that's still a nugget because you did well enough in training to sit out a training cycle so you can upgrade from choppers to jets if a spot gets opened up instead of just getting shuffled off to something you didn't want.They liked making SEREGRADs fly with shittier arab students that the instructors have developed a hatred for. They're awful

You don't know terror until you get woken up by your nco pounding on your door half an hour after pt started
Congratulations anon!Your country has just been chosen as the arena for America(or russia if you're eastern european)'s next endless war. Your government and their armed forces were effectivly wiped out in a month but you decide to join up with a few locals you know and a couple of survivors from what's left of the army.You're tasked with overseeing the production of armored vehicles. Your funding is very limited but you have access to anything you want from the civilian population like bulldozers and such. How and what kind of vehicles do you build, how do you employ and utilize them and how do you armor them? I'll start>radio controlled golfcarts modded to be heavily armored with concrete and metal and filled to the brim with ANFO. With livefeeding cameras you just roll up to the checkpoints. If they succeed; mission complete. If not the soldiers will have to spend time on them and you can move your infantry up and flank them.
>>43415968This, essentially. Shoot and scoot is the proven insurgent tactic, and gives superior light and medium firepower mobility than even conventional militaries
>>43397838>that picMEANWHILE, AT TESLA HQ...
>>43415939I used to talk up an armor philosophy on mech threads long time back. Dynamic composites and soft robotics are the future. Remember it takes an average of 100 years for the lowest common denominator to accept new concepts as fact. Keep up your work and don't let naysayers get to you.

>>43415928>>43415939So you are draping a wobbly frame with what is essentially picrel and expecting it to either divert energy far enough away from the important bits for it to be useful, or completely deflect certain ammunition. There comes a point where slopes and bulkiness in design become a sticking point. All those wobbly frames will have to be stored in some way, to be attached to whatever vehicle at a later time after transport to their duty location, and someone will have to put together those wobbly frames in the field with hand tools. Fuck all the fancy talk like >>43412315,>High tech gambeson/chain-mailbecause you might as well be surrounding a bike with chicken wire attached to pvc pipes. You may very well be using hyper-advanced materials, but I want you to imagine the setup you are describing actually moving across a battlefield. Your bicycle in a giant tent idea, with wobbly extended frames sticking out 5 or 10 feet, is going to get snagged on every obstacle known to man before it ever gets hit with a .50 cal or 40mm grenade.>>43417808Patton only had to talk about tanks to the yanks for 10 years, during which time he had his wife drive a tank in test trials to show how easy it was to train someone to do. While that rubbed people the wrong way in some respects, his vision of cavalry warfare was given enough credence during the inter-war period that America had a decent tank going into WWII.
Have you ever wandered deep into the woods for a day or two to camp out with a rifle, supplies and a tent? Tell me how your experience went.I dream of doing this and at nighttime, set a campfire and get really drunk with my Stanley flask lol.
>>43403240Yes, I took my SBR draco on a 4 day hike through Nevada and desu I hated that rifle by then end of it. It was nice to have when we set up camp but lugging that bitch everywhere was a bit of a hassle with a huge ruck on.
>>43403240This is called overnight hiking. It is a very popular activity. It's awesome.
I wish I could do this but I live in the most cucked state known to man (Texas) so there is no public land, and the fucking state parks are all cucked as well, no shooting/guns allowed.
