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.

>>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.

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.
>>15442 Conversely I think they are not as problematic and won't be for a while still. The front-line speed bumps don't need to be fit or motivated, they just need to be there with enforcers behind them (Azov, Sich, Tornado, etc.) And more valuable resources like drones and artillery supporting their defense. >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. Yes, of course, I was joking. If Okraina had open borders, most of the men and populace in general would be long gone by now. The sooner it is dismantled, the sooner the populace will be better off.

Expanded /ak/ thread. What're you watching? Even if it's not necessarily /k/ related I'm interested and I'm sure anons who haven't hid the thread would be interested in your thoughts too. Non-Japanese /k/-related animation is fine as well since it would be silly to have two threads. Posting cute girls doing operating things is also fine. Right now I'm watching Macross 7 and Amanchu. The former is about humanity surviving in space against space Satan while the latter is a nice CGDCT SoL with some yuribait involving scuba diving. Both are a lot of fun.

Since it's looking like we might be sticking around here, let's have a thread for actually shooting our guns. Share what you're working on, matches you shot, or trash you blasted. There's also talk about doing a challenge every few weeks, be it a drill, shooting for the smallest groups, and things of that sort. So you did get to the range this week, right?

>>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!

Best Weapons for a Mad Max society? /k/ommando 06/09/2025 (Mon) 16:02:18 No. 15389 [Reply] >>15420
In a world where bullets are rare, fuel is gold, and every scrap counts, what are the most effective weapons for defending (or taking) what’s left? Think Mad Max rules: limited tech, no factories, and everything’s held together with rust and hope.
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 (OP) probably some air rifle like in metro. idk how you would do it though, never used one.

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!

>>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.
