Mega Rad Gun Thread

They had were offered a deal to make the Panzer III and Panzer IV in late 1942 but they had to provide a percentage of the parts themselves. The Italians turned this offer down because they didn't want the Germans taking over their arms industry, and decided to upgrade their shitty locally made tanks instead.

Same thing probably would've happened with that proposal too. Their fascist regime was too protectionist for its own good.

It was even more retarded than that. Let's go deeper and quicker, not to go too much offtopic. The Italian military industry was another block that the Fascist regime had to contend with: if in Germany the system was feudal with different industries cozying up to different politicians and in the Union Stalin ordered and people lied until they complied or got shot, Mussolini had to juggle the different powers that gracefully let him govern. And one of those powers was FIAT-ANSALDO. Fiat flat-out employed the most brutal and toxic ways to shut down any possible opposition to their role as prime providers of military materiel, sabotaging attempts to consider Czech tanks, to consider captured French tanks or German imports. Plans and future production (the infamous Carro Celere Sahariano, for example) were outright fabricated to placate Fascist authorities and to shut down possible alternatives. They even managed to suggest that "strikes" would have happened if the regime didn't keep their support to the lovely national industry.

Second, Italian tanks were bad but they were adequate to the task of fighting second-tier British forces during 1940-41. British cruiser tanks weren't much better at the beginning of the war: but a combination of wrong priorities, political games and horrendous industrial management caused all developments to come out too little, too late. Frankly fascinating stuff, from the historical point of view, much like the battleship armour scandal or the bomber development projects. It's a miracle the Italian fighting man managed to do the little he did.

Along with the armor it's double extra bad, but that grip angle though :story:

Why not just print a standard receiver? It's still not even California compliant lol.

And speaking of shotguns....

It kinda warms my heart to see these simple, old scatterguns finding new lives & potentially saving them as well.
It might be that the grip broke when it was dropped, pla is more fragile than most polymer, the criminals in cali are retarded, but not that retarded
 
5375 rounds through the Glonk 49 since may 18. Zero malfunctions.
The only time I've had a Glock malfunction was when I purposely limp-wristed some shots. With the fourth shot I induced a stovepipe. I had to hold the gun very loosely, too, which is why I think it took four shots to finally get it.

Speaking of this, I've seen a disturbing number of malfunctions in police body-worn camera footage. I can't imagine limp-wristing can explain all of them. I wonder how often these cops clean and lube their guns.
 
If you don’t own a tactical rifle and you live in the United States right now, you’re a fucking idiot. I want an AR “so badly” so I can stop being a fucking idiot.

It's a combination of no lube + carry ammo that doesn't feed well + limp writing.

Here's a vid of a cop having a FTF with his P320 while a boomer was magdumping at him with an AR

You see this in cop shooting vids all the time, limp wristed firing causing a malfunction. I shouldnt be surprised given the "competency crisis" as it is now referred to, but it blows me away how someone who's job entails taking their life in their hands on a daily basis isnt at the least a mildly skilled shooter.

it's quite rare that police actually shoot their weapon in defense. qualifications, even for federal agents, are twice a year or once per quarter at best, and it's not a long qualification - strong side/weak side, from holster, mag dump, 100 rounds and score x/100 to pass (85% is FLETC, for alameda county it's a twice yearly qualification with the duty handgun for all deputies 70% or better, and if you're patrol you have to score 80% with the patrol weapon (SBR usually sometimes a shotgun) on a patrol course. each course has failure drills and you have to load/unload on command and field strip your gun too typically.

most policework is talking to people, providing security, or investigating crimes. there's very little shooting unless you're on an ERT or SWAT or something. that's why LEO trade-in pistols see a lot of holster wear but little actual firing.

in the old days, your issued gun was turned in at the end of the day and your ammo was counted - you couldn't use it for practice or anything. if you wanted to practice you had to buy your own ammo and specifically go to the police practice range. people greatly overestimated how "high speed" your typical officer is, even if they have the gucci gear. when SBRs were being swapped in for shotguns in patrol vehicles, i lost count of how many shotguns were poorly maintained and stiff - one even had chewing gum in the barrel. they would function, and being a slide action 870 or ithaca they work fine, but yeah, police are usually busy enough with low budgets, working non stop overtime, and case load to maintain anything more than their own gear, and that's assuming they do more than ensure it works during qualifications and duties before sticking it on a rack or locker and forgetting about it.

and yes, since most police departments are quite small, officers are allowed to buy and use their own duty weapons if they meet various guidelines. so it's a real mix master of stuff depending if the department's budget is big or not. clinton put a stop to military hand me downs in the 90's and obama killed it off entirely in the late 2000's.
I can only assume she's talking about the Clinton ban, which did fuckall to stop Columbine. Also the grandfather clause in that meant that any rifle you owned before it was passed is legal to own so it wouldn't be the end of the world.

I'm more scared of them finally figuring out how to ban all semi auto rifles.
Kamela, along with Becerra and Newsome (and Grayson and Yi and Waters, they're all in on it) are 100% on the ban and confiscate wagon. why do you think CA DOJ BOF is such a joke of an org?

It would be less bothersome if cops didn't act like gun experts. I literally had a cop who didn't believe me that 380, 38, 357, and 9mm all have the same diameter projectiles. (I know they're 2 thousandths different before you say um actually).
 
Gotta be totally honest here, while that was doubtlessly a horrifying experience for the officers, especially the one who got shot; the way that guy comes through the door in all black with the last thing you see being his rifle and then he starts hip firing… I believe that’s what the kids would call kino.
It's that and the downed cop just internally committing to the bit, reloading and capping the guy again

Dude at first I was just glad the cop you’re watching through didn’t get hit and managed to clear his jam eventually. But when I realized there was a second cop who got nailed, probably more than once, and collapses on the floor while his idiot partner is flailing his gun and mags and then not immediately executing the guy who may have shot him, I took that downed cop’s side. I was really hoping he would get his pistol up and put some in the shooter’s head, immediate threat or not. “Throw the gun away” my ass I’m lying here dying because of him bro!!!
 
I seriously don't know what the fuck the Glock limp-wristing thing came from, I have a 27 I have shot with just thumb and index finger about 10-15 times trying induce a stove-pipe or FTF and never got it to malfunction when I was trying. I had a Gen 2 17 IIRC, I replaced the slide spring with the overpriced laser guide rod thing that was a huge fad for a while and it became a jam-o-matic.

Like shoes or purses for a woman. One for every scenario + 1.

I have agreement with my girl, I don't question the beauty products/clothes she doesn't question the firearm collection. I would imagine I'm passed the every necessary purpose I would have. Everyone has to have a SHTF rifle, a duty pistol, an EDC, a 300-400 yard rifle; if you hunt, a nice light bolt action, if you shoot 3 gun you need well, another 3 guns. among the grey area is the "mouse guns" "collectable" there's a lot of debate if a mouse gun such as a .32 ACP has a purpose given how small the 9mm and even the .40 have gotten over the last 20 years. Is there any realistic point and time a modern .32/.380 will do the subcompact single-stack 9mm won't do? What's collectable? I fucking hate to admit I've acquired things simply because I loved the film they were featured in. On the competitive side guns will NEVER go down in value. Forbes magazine even listed transferable machineguns are a good investment decades ago. Long time ago I ran out of money had to sell a Turkish Mauser wasn't even in good shape didn't shoot well at all but just didn't sit right. The exception is there seems to be an extreme surplus in AR and AR parts. $350 for a ready to shoot brand new AR?! I never thought I'd see the day. Sure it's no name brand but, how did they even manufacture it for under $300? The steel required to make the barrel/carrier is high carbon steel, not cheap 1018 mild steel, also the machining process for just aircraft grade aircraft aluminum. If it were a true prototype I could see a machine shop charging 3,000$ for a naked upper. Boggles my mind how they could even make $50 off that rifle. I recall way back in 2005 or so you could get a really good AK parts kit barrel included for about $100.

$420 USD for a .300 BLK ready to shoot, optics ready, rifle? Yeah it's Palmetto but, it works so why not? Never be collectable or appreciate in value unless there's some national ban like the loser countries where you have no rights to free speech or own guns.


I shed a tear for the men born as slaves to the crown, that being said were they ever men to begin with bowing like their fathers before them? The kings who wanted to make sure they never beat their plowshares into swords kept it that way for centuries. I love the idea someone way back in family line was shooting redcoats in the face, the same people ordering the peasants in the "old country" to bend the knee to the crown. lol, fucking losers.

Remember you from the community happenings thread. You're plainly struggling with demons that are most likely winning the war for your soul. I hope God grants you the help you need.

No, you actually don't. This is a gun thread. That was the most translucent attempt to dab disguised as preaching I've seen in my life. Stop shitting up the thread with your fake piety and obvious lies. You wanna jerk off to the pics of the day I fucked two women, that's between you and your higher power. There is a special place in hell for people who use the lord's name in vain. Next level down there's a spot for false prophets, somewhere higher is for liars. So unless you came here to talk about guns, die angry.
