Wipes are really the thing that would make pistol suppressors awesome and compact but are just hamstrung cause the government decided that a rubber disc can't be sold by itself.

Like the Beretta Hush Puppy,

Personally I put a suppressor on my HD pistol, gunshots last a fraction of a second but tinnitus is forever. I've been thinking of picking up a wipes only suppressor just for HD use now that the form 4's take less than a year.

I think Energetic Armament is making a number of wipe cans, one of their .30s being a sick .300 BLK can.

Totally can't get silicone and a punch that's often listed in the description of a can. Rex Silentium definitely wouldn't do that.... For range use it'd take nearly as long to punch a disk as it would to take it out of a bag if you want to be all legal. In a real situation if you haven't been spotted after 10+ shots you're doing pretty well, and whatever laws probably aren't important, not like you'd be "hot swapping" wipes anyways.

I've always thought the best way to defend against FPV drones is getting a talented skeet/trap shooter and giving them a magazine fed semi auto shotgun with an eotech. And an unlimited amount of tungsten high brass flight control turkey shot to train with and carry. In the future, i think FPV type drones will be so commonplace, you'll have these shotgunners integrated into the infantry down to the fire team level. A guy with a semi auto will be more important to combat infantry then designated marksmen, and as ubiquitous as automatic rifleman/light machine gunners.

His/her neck is going to hurt staring upwards forever.
I think the future is some sort of integrated exoskeleton system with IRST cameras looking UP and FORWARD wired to a device shooting ~20mm proximity fused HE mounted on the person. 1 or 2 per a squad.

all this talk of cans got me curious about a suppressed SKS. i found this youtube video and im really liking how this looks and functions. only downside i see is that it is still kind of loud. im a bit iffy on cutting threads into my pristine all matching russian sks, but man do i really want a can on my sks now.

personally i find the various mechanical means of operating interesting. now days most smei auto rifles are di or piston driven and virtually every automatic pistol is a titling barrel design, but looking back through history you have a plethora of weird and different means that people came up with. just the mechanics of how the parts fit together and how the bolt locks then unlocks and slides back is interesting to me. speaks to the engineer in me.

for example, i think toggle locks are neat; the pedersen rifle is a gun i would sell my kidney to get a working example for my personal collection.

I honestly don't understand the fanboyism for the SKS. Would have been the greatest weapon of WW2 expect it was late the party and the AK47 was adopted the same year the SKS was introduced. When they were 200 bucks at every pawn shop in America? Sure. Now if you're looking to go blast hogs and deer with 7.62x39 on a budget the Ruger American Scout is the way to go.

What is it about guns that gives people such autism? They are devices that sling rocks really fast, in a really loud, really expensive manner.
seriously... sometimes I wish the autists would stick to trains.

-From a historical perspective, they have a lot of history attached to them. Wars, mainly, but other things too, like crime, espionage, and even general culture in some cases. it can be interesting to read up on the design philosophies that makes a gun designed the way it is as well as the doctrines that give said guns a reason to exist, in the case of military rifles atleast. You could endlessly read up on the who's and why's criminals, policemen, armed citizens & others tend to use the guns they use if you wanted to.
-From a design perspective there is a ton of R&D put into a gun. on all but the most jerry-rigged guns out there, there is effort that is put into even the smallest of details that you'd normally miss. I honestly dont know how to put it into words; I had no idea the sheer amount of thought and reasoning put into the design of guns until I did some actual research into them. it is mind-boggling and pretty impressive, all things considered.
-From a competitive perspective there is a level of skill & nuance needed to use a firearm proficiently; it can take a lot of practice & knowledge to become good with one, and naturally there are endless conversations about "how" one should shoot a gun, as you might expect.

There are plenty of things about firearms that one could find interesting, and as such there are endless amounts of things that a retard could ramble on about and get into irrationally heated debates over. Thats why we're here.

Like pretty much anything other than an AR-15: they are fun. No one is saying that it would be a good combat rifle today.

Oh I get weird - I own an AUG and wish MAS-49's weren't too expensive for what they are. But like the MAS I think the SKS is wildly over priced now.

Speaking of 7.62x39mm - I wish the CZ Bren 2 accepted AKM magazines.

If you are making a 7.62x39 rifle, it is lunacy not to use the AK magwell. Just like with the STANAG magwell, are they the perfect solutions from a technical standpoint? No. Are they absolutely ubiquitous around the world? YES! So use it!

Economy of scale is better than whatever improvement there may technically be. Obviously with the BREN, I guess it's more about trying to maintain the receiver construction the same for economic production.
