Previous >>63915511 /ourguy/ has been promoted and is now the new inspector general of the German Army. Say something nice about him. What is the worst gun you've bought? Why aren't semi autos more popular for hunting? We had the remington model 8 in .35 rem and the winchester 1907 .351 WSL which are both adequate durr rounds back in 1905/1907. That would have been after 1903 when the NRA started selling 1903s and possibly after the 1892 krag and .30-40 army hit the surplus market but well before the inflection point of WWI when all the conscripts were trained on bolt guns and the market was flooded with WWI surplus bolt guns and ammo
Were the semi autos just too expensive and heavy compared to the surplus rifles? I think only PA and like one other state actually have laws against semi auto hunting AK General /akg/

Old thread here >>63870520 https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/i-p-anderson-mfg-ruger-announces-asset-purchase-of-anderson-manufa-44821672
>Ruger has announced that they have purchased the company and will not be continuing the name.
>This acquisition is an incredible opportunity to advance our long-term strategy and expand Ruger’s capacity,” said Todd Seyfert, President and CEO of Ruger. “We’re excited to welcome members from the talented team at Anderson Manufacturing and leverage their knowledge and infrastructure to better serve our customers. This move reinforces Ruger’s position as a leader in the industry, and reiterates my focus on continued growth, even as others scale back.
Can /k/ explain to me why this SHORAD system with seemingly high specifications is unable to shoot down basic drones (webm related)? Why is it so shit?
Why are multiple Russian radars unable to spot these little guys? I know that Russians always lie, they always cut corners, but for the sake of the argument, let's take Russian claims at face value.
>1L125 Niobium-SV
From what I gathered from various slavic runes sites about radars, this bitch is essentially Nebo-M's export version 55Zh6ME, but modified by Russian Aerospace Forces for their own use. I assume it has roughly the same specs as Nebo-M. Some sources claim that the Niobium-SV is solely for the use of air defense brigades.
Nebo-M's manufacturer claims that the radar is able to see and target F-22 and F-35. They also claim, per wiki, that Nebo-M can exchange targeting information Pantsir, S-300, and S-400 or others in order to guide them towards threats. So why can't this modified Nebo-M spot a little drone?
>Pechora-3
I have no clue what this radar is. I don't think that it has anything to do with S-125 system. I'd love to know more about this one.
>59N6-E Protivnik-GE
This is an older radar array, developed in late 90's, that can work as part of the Nebo-M radar system. It can also interface with S-3/400 and Pantsir. It's AESA, it's either D/L-band depending on who's writing the specs, it can lock on to satellites, it's a fucking wunderwaffe. Here's what one source had to say:
>"The radar has a high degree of measurement process automatization and a high-resolution under intensive countermeasures. There are air route data processing, secondary air traffic control radar and suitable interface to any automatic control systems. Automatic diagnostics, monitoring and fault finding system are the features of this radar. The automatic mode of operation is also possible. Air search coverage of the radar extends to 200 km in height, i.e. this radar can discover satellites into the near orbit." I know generals do logistics and strstegy but what do Officers do in the real world? Is it because so many people from seeing all those American YouTubers with cool semi autos but because they live in a country where semi autos are banned the closest thing they could get is lever actions

You now have a low ranking government position dealing with weapon contracts, a US warehouse, and a staff of 10 people.
You have been given a $5,000,000 budget to add gear that will dramatically increase the performance of up to 1,000 Ukrainian soldiers that are mostly already kitted and veteran. You may choose to supply as few as 500 instead to provide more $$$ per soldier. The soldiers can receive up to 1 month of training related to the gear. >Due to specific budget justifications: all products must be commercially available and American produced (has to at least have the assembled in america sticker). why didn't they put the photoresistor on the both the front & top / have a fiber optic tube to funnel light evenly between the two?

Some Chad from Kentucky personally killed 40 bongs and held off a column of bongs during the battel of new orleans. apparently Future President Jackson had the militia men screened for marksmanship and assigned the shittier shooters to be reloaders for the better shooters so the better marksmen could fire basically continuously
https://ky.ng.mil/News/Article/2615858/the-legend-of-kentuckys-lone-marksman-at-the-battle-of-new-orleans/
>An estimated 2,700 Kentuckians served under Gen. Andrew Jackson against the British Army in the Battle of New Orleans, Jan. 8, 1815. 2019 marks the 204th anniversary of the last battle of the War of 1812. (Courtesy Photo) January 8, 2019, marks the 204th Anniversary of the Battle of New Orleans, considered by many as the last battle of the War of 1812. Though never becoming a Federal holiday, the eighth of January, was for many years celebrated across the country, with commemorations and firing of salutes in honor of the great American victory over the British. On October 14, 1814, Kentucky Governor Isaac Shelby issued a call for men to join Gen. Andrew Jackson’s command for the New Orleans campaign, and under that call three regiments of Kentucky Detached Militia were brought into the field and organized, namely: Lt. Col. Gabriel Slaughter's Regiment; Lt. Col. Presley Gray's Regiment, who resigned and was succeeded by Lt. Col. John Davis; and William Mitchusson's Regiment, resigned and succeeded by Lt. Col. Samuel Parker. These troops were commanded by Maj. Gen. John Thomas, with Brig. Gen. John Adair as his Adjutant General. The total strength of the Kentucky militia raised for the New Orleans campaign was 2,256. To these must be added the officers and men of the Seventh Regiment of United States Infantry (who were recruited in Kentucky), at that time 465-strong, bringing the grand total of Kentucky troops up to 2,721. Of these troops, 1,640 were on the firing line, and engaged in the Battle of New Orleans. So, while I was sitting and staring at the walls of an insane asylum for the last 3 1/2 weeks; it occured to me how Italian tankettes could have been completely repurposed during ww2 to be very useful.
Basically, the tank remains unchanged for one minor change, the addition of a forward mounted morter, cooling water, and box of ammo. Repurposing dozens of tanks, in such a manner, allows for the rapid deloyment of closein antipersonal artillery in a massed with dozens of tanks in a single location, allowing either breakthroughs where infanty are entrenched or to break up infantry advances, all at minimal risk to the tankettes and their crews; all while allowing the repurposing of equipment that would otherwise be obsolete, to become equipment that can completely change a tactical picture, allowing either breakthrough or defense, before rapidly moving to another location, enmass.
Thoughts? Desert Eagle thread. I used to own an IWI one in 357, it was awesome. I regret selling it... I want to buy a new one.
1. are the USA-Kahr made ones better or worse than IWI made?
2. Is it just me, or is there no SKU for 357 stainless? I only see the two brushed chrome SKUs. Does the chrome hold up?
3. Who makes the best shoulder holsters?
post your deagles if you have one. also, the manual lies about having to shoot the right ammo out of it and use a certain stance for proper function. at least for my old 357 one, I couldn't find any ammo it didn't like, and I could shoot it sloppily with one hand & it wouldn't jam either. Maybe the 44/50 ones are more picky? Okay so what if Washbear, but you print it up in Nerf colors and put a Nerf logo on the sides and an orange barellette on the front?
>The head of French aircraft manufacturer Dassault, Eric Trappier, has repeatedly pointed out in the past that his company is capable of building the fighter aircraft for the trilateral Future Combat Air System (FCAS) flagship project on its own. At the beginning of the Paris Air Show last week, he called for FCAS to focus more strongly on the fighter and for French industry to play a greater role in the project, thereby calling into question existing agreements regarding the division of labor. Alternatively, he hinted at pulling out of the program.
>If you put yourself in Trappier's position, his demands make perfect sense. Why should Dassault share the know-how yet to be developed for 6th generation fighter aircraft with Airbus on the basis of an inefficient and complex set of rules laid down in seven so-called pillars? Why invest time and effort in coordinating the FCAS project when the order books for the Rafale fighter jet are full to bursting and the development of a new generation of the aircraft plus a companion combat drone has already been commissioned by the French Ministry of Defense?
>On this side of the Rhine, Dassault's announcement should be understood correctly: Dassault wants clear leadership at FCAS and would otherwise - as the past few years have shown - keep shooting crossways or dropping out. A sensible product cannot be developed in this way. >forces the bongs into a light jog

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXb8FNrlOug Is a 10/22 a must have firearm? I was recently talking about guns with an extended family member at a party and he said that the 10/22 was not only the best first gun a man could buy, but also a practically indestructable tool for training and survival. He even claimed it was the only .22LR you could dry fire all day long without damaging it. I've been into guns for a few years now, but I've never even shot one of these. Am I missing out? is this really worth dropping $400 on? Why aren't they more popular? They seem like they are net gain with no downsides. no gunsooming/poor cope edition. it seems a tunnel full of fuels and explosives is a death trap in a war Why does the deck crew from aircraft carriers always do these gay poses? Why do experts widely consider the JSDF to have the best weapons? >357 lever actions can fire 9mm rounds
... why didn't anyone tell me? Is there any practical application for this? Other than autism bragging? I just think they're neat Anyone else like constantly want to change/modify their guns that work fine? I feel like I always want to change the sights on my .22 even though it has aftermarket sights that I know I will like better than any other sights I can put on it. It's like I keep getting tempted to consume accessories I don't need that would be annoying to put on (because I'd have to take off other stuff) and would not make my shooting experience better First thing that will happen in China-Taiwan war is complete destruction of all Chinese MIC factories and electrical grid.

four old timey rifle things
1. I find it odd that the colt lightnings were so fucking unpopular when later pump action rimfires were extremely popular and the 1873 and 1892 were so popular. I've heard that modern reproductions have a jamming problems. Is that due to the modern reproductions or modern ammo are different or is that a problem inherent to the gun?
2. Also why the fuck does like uberti make the only 1873 repro in .44 mag? no one else does it and it's only one model. isn't the 1873 action too weak for .44 mag?
3. The 1892 sold 1 million rifles before it got discontinued from 1945-2013. How did it sell that many rifles when the 1894 in .30-30 was only 3 years away? Were they mostly being sold in like South America? Was smokeless .44-40 that much better than black powder .44-40? how could you even make and sell smokeless .44-40 without having to worry about blowing out older 1873 and 1866 rifles?
4. how were they able to make 1866s in .44-40? I thought the whole point of the 1873 was that they switched from gun metal to steel to contain the stronger .44WCF round What's the actual intended range for the ACOG? not like the

>boomer seethes about people pointing out the injuns mutilated bodies
>boomer seethes that they can't just desecrated graves like they did in the 1980s
a couple of minor things that don't really matter, is he seemed to get confused between .44 henry rimfire, .44 WCF and .45-70/.45-55-405
in terms of the cartridge long guns
.44 henry rimfire was a rimfire round used in the 1860 henry rifle and 1866 winchester rifle. .44WCF or .44-40 is a centerfire round use in the 1866 winchester rifle and 1873 winchester rifle .45-70 is the round used in the trapdoor springfields the American troops would have had and they specifically would have been shooting the carbine .45-55-405 loads or .45 cal, 55 grains of black powder 405 grain lead alloy bullet. when you read black powder rounds the first number is caliber, second is grains of black powder and if there is a third number it's the bullet weight in grains.
Custard had a remington rolling block in .50-90 sharps which would have been a bigger round than the carbines the regular troops were using

>At SITDEF 2025, HD Hyundai Heavy Industries unveiled the HDF-3600 frigate, an upgraded model tailored for the Peruvian Navy’s next-generation missile frigate requirements, replacing the previously showcased HDF-3200. Based on the Ulsan Block III class (like the ROKS Chungnam, delivered to South Korea in December 2024), the HDF-3600 is a 3,600-ton, 130-meter-long, 15-meter-wide frigate with a stealth design minimizing radar, infrared, and acoustic signatures. It features a CODAD diesel propulsion system (potentially reducing its 30-knot maximum speed), a South Korean Integrated Sensor Mast with a four-plane AESA radar for 360-degree multi-target tracking, and a 16-cell Korean Vertical Launching System (KVLS) behind a 76mm gun. Additional armaments include two 12.7mm remote weapon stations, eight anti-ship missile containers, triple Tiger Hawk torpedo launchers, a CIWS II with a 30mm or 40mm cannon, and advanced sonar and electronic countermeasures, with provisions for RHIB boats or additional torpedoes, making it the first Latin American ship with such an advanced integrated mast.
What's your take on the new flagship of the Peruvian Navy? Will troops with exoskeletons sprinting around with miniguns and auto-targeting headsets be able to outskill drone swarms in 2040? Had the Germans won WW2 what kind of technological advancements in weapons would humanity have achieved by 2025? https://warontherocks.com/2025/06/i-fought-in-ukraine-and-heres-why-fpv-drones-kind-of-suck/ It would be a good time to invest in hesco walling in storage containers on your homestead property.

Indeed, the appearance of the PL-15 has already contributed to a rush from the U.S. side to push for longer-range AAMs, like the AIM-260 and AIM-174B.
>The PL-15 should also be characterized by the advantages of its AESA seeker, Bronk notes. “Just based on the physics of an AESA seeker versus a mechanically scanned seeker or a fixed PESA-type seeker, it should be higher resolution, more resistant to ECM, and work better in jamming environments.” Beyond that, it likely has a better ability to home in on stealth targets.
>The Chinese, for a long time, were essentially followers and were either customers for Russian weapons or were essentially producing clones of Western systems as best they could, whether that be Python clones, Sidewinder clones, or Sparrow clones,” Bronk continues. “The PL-15 is different, and so it represents a significant maturation of the Chinese industrial and research and development base.” Meanwhile, the PL-15 is just one of several Chinese AAM programs that are looking at very long-range performance in particular. While continuing to develop and improve its AAMs, China is also able to produce them in large quantities.
Why nobody else tried installing AESA seekers onto AAMs before?:
https://www.twz.com/air/chinas-j-10c-fighter-separating-myth-from-reality what's your favorite way to die in a self defense situation with weapons? me? bleeding out in the snow, but i'll probably never get to do it If (You) were to create a private paramedic team, what would they be armed and armored with? Apparently israel used glide bombs to destroy high value targets from azerbaijan and drones to destroy TELs (b&w footage) at short range
Allegedly no planes in iran airspace
What is the single piece of gear that would be the most useful purchase to them at this moment
And what is the most useful gear they could manufacture themselves What was the fastest way to end a siege durying before the creation of Cannons? Could the radars on some active protection systems be expanded and used simultaneously for 360-degree ground/sky scanning? Imagine if instead of say, a loader, there was a crewman whose job is to monitor ground and aerial movements to which he is alerted with notifications, perhaps even with a camera feed of the detected area (this is a little radical). In the case of slow-moving aerial threats like muhdrones, he could authorize firing at it, like a CIWS, or maybe even use the radar as a directed energy weapon.
Trophy already tracks the predicted origin of intercepted missiles and markets itself as a comprehensive protection and situational awareness solution, but I don't think it tracks anything pre-interception. Is it cost effective to fire missiles from jets at drones? It's too dangerous to fire at drones with the main cannon. Japan, Korea, China, etc. Only things that have at least a little flavor to them, no 1:1 clones. ITT, mighty belarus speaks and we sit our black asses down and listen. What is the least aesthetic war of all time? Iraq 2.0 was pretty bland The EW-25 Medusa makes a lot of sense for the 21st century battlefield. Would you shoot a burglar? I would personally shoot an armed robber but not a burglar. Are netgun drones the next big step forward in the drone arms race? >qtddtot
Is there anything I can do about this on a Remshit 870? There are several spots like it on the receiver, but I can barely feel them and steel wool isn't helping. Will heating it up help? Are North Korean soldiers better or worse than Russian mobiks? I am not working for springfield but would you buy this for $700. It's a 3" compact and uh reddot.
I want one. The pink one specifically. Yes, I am a girl. I have tiny hands.
Yes, I plan on having the knife and gun on this holster specifically. Convince me otherwise. Should I get a 10/22 and a couple thousand rounds of 22lr for zombie survival or do I need a bigger caliber? Is the Chinese military an actual threat to Taiwan? Well, well, looks like after falling off a floating dry dock, getting a massive hole on the hull and several fires later, the Admiral Kuzmetsov can still float. Picture taken yesterday.
She was supposed to have been handed back over to the Russian Navy in early 2024, but, well, you know.
Chances to see her sailing again? or even launching planes? (last one was 10 years ago) thats a lot of ordinance with not an impressive effect, it makes me think about ww2 bomber raids >*guitar riff plays over montage of range clips*
>"Wwwwwhat's up guys, I'm a man with a beard and tattoos, and welcome back to 90% of gun channels on YouTube" Good news! Import restrictions on barrels have changed, no more will the barrels on parts kits be variously mangled! Will this drive ak kit prices to unheard of highs? Has my maddi kit become effectively worthless? What reformed foreign machine gun barrels do you hope to acquire /k/?

Rest in piss, Pringles, you were the most entertaining war criminal Russia has ever given us, and it was extremely retarded of you to give up before reaching Moscow.

I have a Lee "bulge buster" just for this. These rounds chamber in my factory P220 barrels. Stainless beretta or stainless Springfield 1911 in 9mm?
I'm a bit miffed that you have to buy stainless parts for the Beretta if you want it to look good since they cheaped out. Also, my other 1911 is a dinged up RIA (earthquakes) so it would be nice to have a nice one. Which way, white man?
Also discuss 1 vs 2 vs 3 point slings.
Personally i find 1p pretty much useless. >The U.S. Army took a step toward integrating killer drones into its battlefield tactics after it dropped live grenades from the air at a training area in Germany this week.
>Members of the 278th Armored Cavalry Regiment of the Tennessee Army National Guard on Wednesday became the first conventional soldiers to detonate an M67 fragmentation grenade from a drone-borne dropper, Army officials on site said.
>The plastic device, known as Audible, was attached to the undercarriage of a Skydio X10D drone that attacked a simulated vehicle convoy at the Grafenwoehr Training Area.
>On Wednesday, 1st Lt. David Baker checked Audible’s dropper device. He then attached a hand grenade, making sure the pin was in the correct position to be pulled. He removed the safety clip and the drone was airborne.
The US has finally caught up with early 2022 quadcopter drone warfare:

https://files.catbox.moe/mdcmpv.mp4 It's obvious that most antidrone systems are just placebos. Just some wifi antennas that your officers attached to your vehicle to help you to feel safe. Marines, Army, or Navy? Or is it all propaganda. When did they really fix the M16? The final battle is here. The senate has passed the BBB and its 0$ tax on cans and shoulder things that go up. however the registration scheme remains. It now goes back to the house for a brutal knife fight before it goes to the senate for a final vote and the president signs it
We need to call the house harder than its ever been called before. Likely multiple times. Make sure to call your red state rep too! (i do not have their phones)

CALL CALL CALL. It does work!
(also reminder there are blackpillers/NGO's posting here for demoralization purposes , ignore them , we can win) Assuming you had no other options for a vehicle.
The one pictured is a Massey Ferguson 8570. It has an 8.3L Cummins diesel engine, and a max speed of around 17 miles per hour.
The engine is located under a panel near the rear of the machine, quite high off the ground as well. The combine works with corn headers and the standard grain ones, with the former being pictured. How viable is it to make a drone mortar carrier, and whether it's possible to scale an autoloader for such a machine to make it even more autonomous? Wouldn't railguns be perfect for shooting down missiles? >Go to Tankfest 2025
>Get to see the only running Tiger 1 and 2 in the world
Yeah that was pretty fun, spent 2 whole days. Anyone else go there this year?
Catbox of Tiger 1 and 2 + Panzer 3:
https://files.catbox.moe/gtgczr.mp4 There's just something so alluring about the idea of self-defense vs. criminality. On the one hand, it seems like a cut and dry story about a good and innocent, hard-working person defending their life and property from a miscreant trying to take for their own selfish gain. But on the other hand, you have a story of the essence of humanity. It's the story of war that goes back thousands of years, two forces battling against each other, ready to put everything on the line to defend their values. Does it not set your heart aflutter to think of the circumstances of which to turn seemingly normal men into beasts of prey? To turn a normal day laborer, husband or father into a warrior? Or to turn a mere ne'er-do-well mired in banal vices into a ruffian, a pillager of the modern era? To have the red strings of fate gnarled so suddenly, and for the shears to rear its blade so close to the threads? Actually, it's pronounced "vahl-ter". Is open carry just a plain old bad idea? It’ll make you a target for sure, but is it a reasonable option for those who can’t afford to get licensed at that time? IT'S UP!: https://youtu.be/Vrx4ZLxx_NU?si=Jm96bDRXV7v-fTaP Is the Benelli m4 the greatest home defense firearm of all time?

This is the worst timeline. were Mallgoths just misunderstood? could something good have come out of this technology if we allowed it develop instead of mocking it? Mid-game bossfight looking ass Who has one, or has shot one?
