>>15289 Thanks, somehow when I read that page it didn't register that such a thing would be the role signature. I generally won't use it in threads unless the situation is relevant to the discussion. Also to prove I'm not a nogunz newfag, here's one of my rifles.

>>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.

>>15435 >What I meant with that was satellite radar mapping of the ground. there are going to be serious limitations involved in a satellite based approach. It's also still possible to interfere with it with electronic warfare. >Honestly, we don't know. What I've been seeing indicates that Russia may have less men allocated to the front at any given time, but overall they have about 5x to 7x as many total soldiers. They rotate them more and keep a much larger reserve. >Ukraine is definitely keeping up the "recruitment" efforts at a steady pace and shuffling rear echelon troops into the trench, so I doubt they're critically low on numbers. We'll see, although I get the impression that their recruitment is extremely low, with even the press gangs being unable to kidnap enough people to make up for their losses. I think that most surviving Ukrainian men are extremely unwilling to fight, and the recruitment process is so corrupt that it's trivial to avoid being sent to fight unless you're flat broke. >What that could mean is simply once they get engaged, there's no way out. Once a sector gets attention, there'll be drones hitting any logistics and reinforcements coming in and disrupt casevac, while arty and planes erradicate the frontline. I think you're right, although I've read in multiple places that Ukraine doesn't provide their troops with leave and doesn't rotate their troops adequately. They probably do pull troops out of the trenches for a bit and reshuffle them, but I don't think they rotate them to the rear very often. >Haven't really seen any claim of a vid being specifically a certain warhead. And it's hard to judge by the videos. makes sense, I suspect that thermobaric Gerans won't be used much until they increase production to the point that they are using them on front line positions, but it's not like it'd be easy to tell. The buzzing noise they make really is intimidating.

>>15436 >What I've been seeing indicates that Russia may have less men allocated to the front at any given time, but overall they have about 5x to 7x as many total soldiers. They rotate them more and keep a much larger reserve. The estimates of Ukrainian numbers are still close to a million and remember, small unit action. When an advance is made, it wasn't a platoon wiped out, it was just a fire team or two holding a treeline or a squad in a village. All perfectly manageable losses. As I mentioned before, Russian estimates on enemy KIA was less than half a million in two years, which probably means even fewer. >it's trivial to avoid being sent to fight unless you're flat broke Well, lucky for them Okraina is a poor shithole. >The buzzing noise they make really is intimidating. I fucking love the sounds of war. I'm not weird, you're weird!

As I mentioned before, Russian estimates on enemy KIA was less than half a million in two years, which probably means even fewer. I think that Ukrainian manpower shortages are more problematic than you're making it sound, but I also think that my earlier estimation that their manpower levels are critical was an over correction. >Well, lucky for them Okraina is a poor shithole. I don't think it's luck, I think it's a poor shithole for the same reason they're having these problems to begin with. >I fucking love the sounds of war same >I'm not weird, you're weird! Why can't I find the other weirdos? I just want to find other people who love war and weapons and don't give a fuck about morality. /k/ used to be the place to find them.

>>15164 I've noticed that I basically get the same amount of "practice" out of shooting 3 as I do shooting 6. Triple taps give me a draw, first shot, and two split times to measure, which is everything that fundamentally matters. I'm still going to keep practicing until I get a 100% accurate run under 2 seconds, but I want to start spending more time on variable distance drills. I regularly practice out to 25 yards, but I hardly ever put it all together, so I want to practice adjusting my shot cadence in real time.

No pictures, but after many years of only practicing sighted fire, I watched some old FBI and police training videos and decided to practice the things I saw. There seem to be three basic stances and techniques of point shooting, as far as I can determine. There's the Bill Jordan method. You stand at attention, maybe with right foot slightly forward, with your elbows at your sides pointed straight down, pointing your sternum at the target. The gun is in your strong hand at elbow level pointed at your target. Your weak hand may be extended downward and forward a bit for balance. You focus on the target and try to make the bullets hit it by sheer willpower, I guess. I did this for several hundred rounds and past about nine feet this doesn't work very well for me at all. I guess I'm not as coordinated as Bill Jordan. There's the W. E. Fairbarn method, which looks weird to the uninitiated. You start out with your hands at your sides, standing at attention. You draw the gun with your right hand and move into a partial crouch, left foot forward, most weight on your right foot. The strong hand with the gun comes up to just below eye level. You focus on the target and shoot with the gun in your peripheral vision. It is optional to begin from the high ready, then bring the gun straight up and extend your right arm, then rotate the whole arm forward and down from the shoulder to the just-below-line-of-sight shooting position, "swinging your arm like the handle of a water pump" if you begin from high ready. Actually I'm oversimplifying. Fairbarn taught a system that included many different stances and positions, but I'm talking about the version that ended up in US Army training manuals printed after the war. There's the Jelly Bryce method. The weapon is in your right hand and your weak hand is at front or side for balance, but not in front of the gun, of course, lol. You drop into a very aggressive, very low crouch, with your left foot forward and most of your weight on your right foot, and extend the gun well forward with your right hand. You shoot with your right shoulder low and your left shoulder raised. As with the Fairbarn method you bring it up to just below line of sight and focus on the target, shooting with the gun in your peripheral vision. Of the three this worked best for me. After a few thousand rounds I can mostly--mostly, that is--hold the A-zone of an IPSC target at fifteen feet. Beyond that my accuracy drops off very rapidly. It seems to work the best for me, for all that it looks like something the director of a 1950s TV western would have told an actor to do. All three of these guys were the real deal. All three of them saw some shit and stacked some bodies, in an era before police body cams or "activists" with camcorders hiding behind the dumpsters in every alley. I was initially skeptical about the utility of point shooting. But after some thought and reflection, and after trying it for more than just a mag or two, I have concluded that it may have some utility, perhaps in circumstances of poor lighting. I am still not certain that it's any faster for me than using the irons, but if it is slower it's not much slower. Pew pew!

assuming you have the ability to get sulfur and leave manure fallow for a while, some simple blackpowder firearms are probably your best bet. Sure, for the first few years repeaters with their fancy smokeless will dominate, but they've gotta run out sometime. Meanwhile, if you can get a few blackpowder double acction revolvers, you can have both decent firerate (not great but not taking turns reloading) and a decent ability to get more ammo

>>15389 probably some air rifle like in metro. idk how you would do it though, never used one.

Looks like /k/ is back to normal. Shame because this place was starting to become based.

>>15405 I'm still here, I just haven't had anything to say.

>>13320 >>13341 I’m trying to decide if my next fun will be a .357 mag 4” double action, half lug Smith or colt. Or should to get an Uberti with wheels for .357 and 9mm. .357 because I already have a good stockpile for my snub nose. Its primary purpose would be for inawoods. No grizzlies here so .357 is fine. >inb4 why not both In time, but I’m broke and have mouths to feed.

>>15397 Just get a good 357 wheelgat, anon. Don't overcompensate it.

It's amazing how Randy is still vilified to this day when he is literally just an innocent civilian. Just because the government was Democrat at the time is the reason for this.

>>15118 i guess, but usually they says stock up on 22, not 32. Shoots basically the same i guess

>>15168 I worked loosely in the industry for a couple years and word was that after 2020 powder companies like hogdon were being major kikes cause they realized how much they can control the supply lines

>>15018 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.

>>15158 I think their prices have gone up recently, but Condor always had some solid knives for that sort of thing that weren't very expensive.

I like my GLOCK knife.
