>>15294 >somehow when I read that page it didn't register that such a thing would be the role signature. Until you asked I actually didn't put it together myself, I think I thought it was for quest threads or something. Shit, we should have a /k/ quest thread. >to prove I'm not a nogunz newfag, here's one of my rifles. Remember when nobody on /k/ owned guns just like nobody on /v/ plays video games? It's weird to think that the best eras of the board were probably when we owned the least guns (at least until the NAFOs showed up in 2022). When I try to remember those days, I think of the sort of /k/ommando who only owned a nugget, and would start a range day by digging a foxhole and would finish it with a bayonet charge while screaming AH NU CHEEKI BREEKI IV DAMKE CYKA BLYAT. There aren't many /k/ommandos left, so we need new blood, but the days of dirt cheap nuggets and spam cans are a thing of the distant past, so we can't just tell newfags to buy a nugget (or just give them one, I got mine from my friend who just gave it to me) and a cheap AR still isn't cheap enough for the neets who have the most potential to become true /k/ommandos, and ARs are a mainstay of normalfag gun culture, so it doesn't really set us apart the way the nugget did.

I remember seeing some posts on 4chan of people saying they were going to buy a gun in a weird caliber so they didn't have to deal with the shortages that were going on at the time. I thought this idea was silly at the time (and I still do) but I still find it interesting. I like guns in weird calibers.

>>15018 (OP) Kind of tangentially related. There is a Bass Pro Shops a couple of counties over that, during the panic over the riots plus the Rice Rabies, had not jack shit for centerfire rifle ammunition left on the shelves but rows and rows of faded boxes of Norma 7x61mm Sharpe & Hart. I think they keep them in a warehouse somewhere and during ammo panics, like just after the 2008 elections, the 2012 elections, 2020 elections, etc., etc., when Boomers who don't even own guns come in with the credit cards a-blazing and buy out everything on the shelves that goes "bang" because some Internet video cretin told them that in "WROL" they'll be able to trade bricks of .22 LR for food. Their basements are still full of it, and the next time there's an election where someone who promises to disarm Whitey wins, the next time there is widespread "social unrest," they'll go out and buy another ten pallet loads of 5.56mm, 12 gauge, 9mm, and .22, then, when those have all vanished, everything else, Half of them will never so much as open a carton and all that ammo will sit in their basements and hall closets until the estate sale. The other half will neckbeard it on Armslist for beer money. "Dontcha like muh capitalism, bwah? Are you some kinda RED, bwah?" You don't hate Boomers enough. You think you do, but you don't.. >weird cartridges Back before I gave up on gun shows completely, which was several years before the Wu Flu, I had a surreal conversation with some Boomer fudd who was trying to hard-sell me on the virtues of the .38 Super 1911 he was trying to sell. Sorry, Gramps. 38 Super is ballistically essentially identical and indistinguishable from 9mm, especially if we're talking about a 1911 that doesn't feed hollowpoints worth a damn. Nobody cares about 38 Super but Mexicans, Boomers from west of the Mississippi, and insufferable Zoomer gun hipsters. It is a cartridge that was obsolete one year after its introduction. John Moses Browning had his hits and his misses. This is one of his misses. All the Internet shills trying so hard to shill 30 Super Carry a couple of years back come to mind, too, but that was after the Kung Flu.

why aren't you reverse engineering firearms anons? with free time and autism, you could be putting out open source technical data packages for firearms. hell you could even do it for cool stuff thats not available, like anything HOWA makes heres a quick roadmap to get you started: >reference picture collection start by collecting as many good pictures as you can. preferable are pictures with a high resolution, ones that give a good profile of the gun (normal to the side or other features in question), have items of known size in them (something measureable), or that show the internal components of the firearm. patent drawings are often an excellent (and usually accurately drawn) resource. >measurements next take your image editing software of choice and start taking pixel measurements. for each photo, put the measurements as a percentage of a common feature of the firearm, such as a proportion of the magazine, barrel length, or other known size feature. when you have enough measurement proportions (say, 5-10 per feature), input them in a spreadsheet and get the averages >modelling get acquainted with a 3d software of your choice. start modelling out your major features. if you come across something that seems contradictory, make a decision that makes the most sense as to which you should keep. dont be afraid to round up or down to convienient numbers (or standard stock sizes) if they're close. >part collection the next stage, if its possible. try to get 'critical parts' that can be used to infer the dimensions of other parts. think: bolt carriers, bolts, barrels, sight blocks/gas system components, trunnions etc.. the same goes for parts that you're unsure of the features because they couldn't be tracked down in pictures. use these to revise your 3d model >3d printing make a 3d print of your model so far. does it work with the parts you have? does it fit together at all? compare it to your pictures. does it look right? are there obvious differences (in proportions or missing features?). use this as an iterative process to get your model closer to reality. your eye is a precision instrument. >manufacturing this is where the cliff really comes in, but you'll find its very worth it if you make the jump. learn about metal working and making things in general. practice welding, machining, bending etc. buy tool and die books (you'll need them) and manufacturing process books to widen your knowledge. practice making things. get good at using a finger break. craft a plan of how to build the components of your firearm. make drawings of your custom tools, of your parts, and update them as you build them (make as built drawings). document EVERYTHING. when something works, record it for others. avoid making pressure bearing compnents (try to buy them) at first, but eventually with enough knowledge those will be game as well. >testing if you've made it this far, you'll have a good idea of how to safely test things. congratulations! even if you only make it part of the way through, your contributions can still be valuable. well, whats your excuse for not doing above? get at it!

Everyone who can should buy a set of gauge blocks , a granite surface plate , a surface/height gauge , dial indicator (to measure relative distance to the gauge blocks for a given part/dimension) , micrometers, inside micrometers, Groove micrometers, a quality gauge pin set, calipers . If you don't want to make a pilot run of guns that have parts interchangeability you don't need a sample of 20 guns to obtain tolerances for every machining operation and can instead make each part oversized and then use a hand file and fine grit grind stones to reach final accuracy to hand fit parts to a given gun. This is what I am going to be doing once I purchase guns I prioritize.

>>15366 >I meant pointless from the Ukrainian side. Well that goes without saying. Ukraine really doesn't gain anything from this war at all aside from keeping the current regime in power. It's not like they'll manage to hold onto the ground Russia wants, much less regain their pre-2014 borders. >Sooner or later even the most retarded hohol will realize that the real enemy is the one sending him to the meatgrinder. I think they'll just be dead. If they were going to wise up they would have done so a long time ago. >It's not a bug, it's a feature. I have seen multiple pro-Ukrainian sources say that units are operating at 40% manpower or less, and I first heard that figure back in late 2024. I think that Ukraine would definitely man many of their positions more heavily if they could. >Now if you can imagine this mechanized force you describe having to stop at every such speedbump and losing say 10% of vehicles to each, then it will become combat ineffective pretty fast. But I do not imagine it proceeding like that. I imagine that the initial breakthrough would follow similar tactics to the current assaults, but would involve even more fire support and a much larger allocation of artillery and air support to enable them to proceed much faster. The larger numbers of Russian troops involved would not be committed all at once, but instead would be following behind to conduct assaults on subsequent Ukrainian positions immediately after the previous one falls. I don't think the mechanized force would be the same force conducting the breakthrough, they'd be separate and kept in reserve waiting for a breakthrough to exploit. The breakthrough would be conducted with mostly the same light infantry tactics they've been using, but they'd sustain the pressure at a much higher level and provide a lot more support. >Even at a third of the shell production, that is still a lot of shells to send towards the Russians. While my knowledge on the topic is spotty, I did see figures indicating Ukraine only has a few hundred howitzers left, so I think their major bottleneck would be tubes rather than shells right now. Russia can't completely disarm Ukraine, but there are a lot of areas where the west couldn't provide them with enough stuff even if they wanted to. Ukraine has already used up a huge chunk of NATO's stockpiles of Patriot missiles, and they aren't being produced fast enough to keep up with demand. They also probably won't get many more MBTs or planes. Another thing to keep in mind is that if Ukraine is getting a third of the shells Russia is, that increases the relative impact of Russian strikes on Ukrainian logistics. >I think you underestimate how many resources US intelligence brings to bear. I'm probably not. >They are probably radar-mapping the area 24/7. There are lots of things the Russians could do to about that even if they were, which I doubt. Russia has substantial EW capabilities including multiple platforms which are tailored to jam specific AEW&C radars. >It's not as simple as bypassing the Maginot. No, but it's also not as difficult as going through the Maginot line would have been. It might or might not be harder than punching through a WW1 trench line. I suspect it's probably easier, due to the difficulties that actually exploiting a breakthrough in the lines with WW1 technology would have involved, you would have needed a much larger and more sustained breakthrough back then for it to make a difference.

Does the 308 Winchester beat the 6.5 creedmoor in any situation? Just looking on the stats the 6.5 seems to have a longer range, flatter trajectory, yet has the lethality of the 308.

>>14503 (OP) Barrel life with 6.5cm is typically about half of .308 barrel life. Also, inside 500 yards, .308 is as good, or better, depending on the load. Hunting or fighting, past 500 yards and you want a larger payload than 6.5cm anyway. And I’ve never hunted past 300 yards. I know some do, and they always bring something like .300win mag or 7mm prc etc. Is 6.5cm a more efficient cartridge than .308? Yes absolutely. But its actual practical application is paper punching between 600 and 1200 yards.

/k/ommando 04/25/2025 (Fri) 16:48:51 No. 14927

>>14852 Pretty much this. .308 for some type of hunting or barrier penetration within 500 yards is probably better. I switched over to 6.5 because I want more precision all around, and wind with .308 really can fuck with it, even at three to four-hundred yards. 6.5 is still more than powerful enough for the most dangerous game at any range, and I've got a .308 hunting rifle for hunting anything in NA. So yeah hunting deer, moose, elk, bear up to 400 yards I would stick with .308.

/k/ommando 05/27/2025 (Tue) 01:47:36 No. 15373

Availability. Price per round. Energy. The 6.5 Creedmeme's sole advantage over the .308 is that, in the event that you have to make a Bob Lee Swagger shot at three quarters of a mile, it stays supersonic a little longer and shoots flatter by a single red cunt hair. There are no public ranges near me where you can shoot centerfire rifle further than 200 yards, and the closest 200 yard rifle range is over an hour's drive from where I live. I don't hate the Creedmeme but it's the answer to a question nobody asked, just like .300 Memeout. There's no reason for either one to exist, and there's nothing they do so much better than cartridges that existed already to constitute a compelling argument for making the switch. They will soon enough join 6.8mm SPC, the Winchester Short Action Ultra Mag cartridges, the Remington Ultra Mag cartridges, .30 Super Carry, the .21 Sharps, and all the .17 rimfires on the Island of Misfit Toys with the .41 Magnum, 9x25mm Dillon, .401 Herters Power Magnum, .25 ACP, .22 Short, .357 SIG, 5mm Remington Rimfire Magnum, .30 Krag, .236 Lee Navy, .219 Zipper, .264 Winchester Magnum, 7-30 Waters, 7mm Valkyrie, 6.5mm CBJ, and many, many more "innovative" creations that nobody asked for and nobody wanted.
