I wonder if you have to pay an NFA tax stamp for each round or if that's only if the round has explosives. Technically artillery isn't illegal anywhere in the US, even California, but lol trying to get the California DOJ to give you the permit.

I could argue that tech giants like zuck, musk, etc have access to destructive cyber weapons that are far more cost effectiveness than buying a whole warship though. 2017 and all.

Fun fact: my first proposed college project got shot down because hacking together basic radio communications equipment from scrap is 80% of the way to building remote IED detonators from scrap. Bad guys always find a way. And after talking in the vennesula thread I might restart that project as an intercollegiate program focusing on shortwave radios (already got a PA-CT-MA route setup!). Because I'm starting to care less if the distinction between civilian and military infrastructure is blurred.

Because it's annoying or because it doesn't go far enough? If you really want one, you can still get one, it just takes $200, paperwork, and waiting. Litterally planning ahead vs instant gratification for American gun owners. I bring it up because while I'd be fine with a blanket ban on anything semi automatic made after 1950 (more to see ANY real progress, even though I want them myself) everyone I know resorted to whataboutism and 'don't blame the gun' so I managed to get general agreement that buying magazine fed rifles sameday in walmart is unnecessary.

I didn't even realize it was 22 but looking at the mag closer, yeah, drat. Does a 22 short function in that, or does it not feed/cycle? (too low gas pressure? Loading geometry?) And even if you have to load it directly how quiet is one?

That's a dumb idea and physically I have no idea why it would make the rounds any quieter. You need the gas to expand down the barrel and be dampened by baffles at the end, constructing the bullet in an extra 8mm of brass won't do anything for sound. Unless what the Russians are saying is that it's a heavier round with a subsonic amount of powder behind it? Which still does nothing for the muzzle.

Ok I understand that design now. Still dumb. Yeah that style of pusher system might have a use in an umbrella tip of hidden wrist two shot but why would you go through he effort of making a whole handgun out of it. You're losing he majority of the power such a mechanical advantage could provide quietly by trying to stuff it in a few cm.

45 ACP CURES NAZIS posted:its for putting two in the back of the head of political opponents point blank, not for dropping tangos 100m out. In that case your either executing them with your gold leafed desert eagle or assassinating them covertly. There is no use case for a lovely gun not covered by simpler weapons. No assassin is going to pull a lovely semi-auto out, because if its worth having a semi-auto its worth having a proper one. Now building that into a wine bottle cork or under a serving tray, that I'd buy. And building something like that for single use weapons is something that could be done on a hobby sized home lathe.

pantslesswithwolves posted:What’s the consensus on a good folding knife with a blade under 3”? I finally broke the cheapo one I’d been carrying for years and am looking to upgrade. I’m a huge fan of the Benchmade axis series, which gives you about 300 different ones to choose from. Looks like the 570’s are the most recent version of the line I continue to get. I'm pretty sure the one I carry with me is whatever number a 556 with the D2 blade is. Never had one break. I also have a 551 that has taken beatings for a long time.

Go with the coated finish option. The black blade is the sexy version. And I find I use the partial serrations on the serrated version on cardboard pretty often. That’s a 556 with the coated blade/serrated edge like amazon lists it as for an option. M_Gargantua fucked around with this message at 05:36 on Jan 26, 2018 |

How many guns are you going to use in a home invasion scenario. Because its always put in terms of guns when you're only going to use the one. Whether that one is a home defense shotgun, your normal every day carry, or your $3500 suppressed SBR. Its always the one. The other dozen can sit in a safe. Unless you're really going for the "gun concealed in every room" apocalypse prep level
