[Glock 19 Gen 5]

I wonder if the company is protected by the 1st amendment if they just released the files for them or if the government would shoot all their dogs.

Reading the 35 USC 181-188, part 186 covers that. Otherwise it might be covered under EAR for the other FOSSCAD nerds if they published a replica, which now covers 3D printed shit instead of ITAR. But my understanding of weapons export law is weak. As an aside, the EAR seems unconstitutional.

"§186. Penalty​

Whoever, during the period or periods of time an invention has been ordered to be kept secret and the grant of a patent thereon withheld pursuant to section 181 of this title, shall, with knowledge of such order and without due authorization, willfully publish or disclose or authorize or cause to be published or disclosed the invention, or material information with respect thereto, or whoever willfully, in violation of the provisions of section 184 of this title, shall file or cause or authorize to be filed in any foreign country an application for patent or for the registration of a utility model, industrial design, or model in respect of any invention made in the United States, shall, upon conviction, be fined not more than $10,000 or imprisoned for not more than two years, or both.
(July 19, 1952, ch. 950, 66 Stat. 807; Pub. L. 100–418, title IX, §9101(b)(3), Aug. 23, 1988, 102 Stat. 1568; Pub. L. 112–29, §20(j), Sept. 16, 2011, 125 Stat. 335.)"

Ya if they did that they still get arrested, assuming this is real. It seems crazy to censor this for national security reasons. It seems unconstitutional, but I understand not wanting to be a test case. Anyone with a 3D printer, CAD program, and some calipers could whip up a working replica.

As I remember a similar thing happened with PGP in the 1990s.
They printed and sold the source code as a book since that put it solidly under the first amendment.
So, now we just need to convert the STL to numbers, print it and ship it. Then the 'rogue states' can OCR it and replicate them.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to adjust the onion on my belt.

People got rsa encryption tattoos too

People have done the same with dimensions for AR-15 drop in auto sears and lightening links.

 

[MrShekelstein36]

the vast majority of off the shelf .45 colt is "cowbot loads". they are loaded light so they won't blow up a blackpowder colt. modern SAA's can take a more than SAAMI standard pressures. a proper standard pressure .45 colt defensive loading will run 1,000-1,100FPS and ~5-550 ft lbs and are safe in any smokeless rated .45 colt.

Yes, but we were specifically talking defensive ammo I was testing in a modern SAA. Attached is where I consider it on the scale of power. Ignore my paint on mobile skills.

So which is the best body armor brand?

 

[Badungus Kabungus]

Ruger LC now comes in best mm.

LTC, Hesco and TenCate come to mind.

Don't get a Deagle unless you are a future US Marine.

A future former US Marine, to be specific.

That looks like a Sub 2000 done right.

No weird folding mechanism so that's good. Just a regular folding stock.

Hope they make an LC Charger in 10mm.

Im surprised there haven't a bigger push for PCC's in 10mm, It seems like the perfect caliber for that form factor.

The price of the ammo is the only handicap.

admittedly it did get shilled pretty hard, but that didn't stop manufacturers from making stuff in 5.7x28, that shits an even bigger meme and its more expensive than 10mm.

It was so much worse in 2020 when Ruger released it's 5.7mm pistol but the caliber kind of recovered. Not fully though. It's still fuckoff expensive.

Grand Power released both a 10mm and 45ACP Stribog this year.

 

[The Dude]

I think a PCC/SMG/PDW in 7.5mm FK would be killer. Flat shooting and excellent range with much better terminal ballistics compared to other pistol calibers. I'm sure it would require either some kind of recoil dampening system, like the FK Brno pistols have, a locked breech, or both, but I think it could be viable. The big thing holding something like that back is that it's a proprietary cartridge and only two weapons chamber it: the FK Brno Field Pistol and the PSD.

 

[EggImpregnator]

Glocks are just so good. 9 thousand rounds through my Glock 49 as of today. Only 2 malfunctions, both not related to the firearm. One dud round, and the battery tray loosened and popped out during shooting. I got a good deal on some federal flat nose 147gr fmj. Something you would think is more prone to jamming because of the projectile shape. Shot 500 rounds of it today and no malfunctions. However it has absolute dog shit accuracy.

Three Russian guys (who used to work for Lobaev Arms) in Canada have been as the kids say, Cooking

https://ares-arsenal.com/

They have three fascinating designs to their name

The Monoceros (originally in 12G but can also work with straightwall rifle cartridges). Designed originally to be underbarrel mounted by can be used in a standalone configuration with snazzy wood (or theoretically polymer) grips

They have a gas operated, rifle caliber handgun that they are working on under the Project name of "Wolverine"
Striker fired, Chambered in 7.62x39, 5.56x45 and derivatives (.300 Blackout, .350 Legend). To do this, unless they have access to black magic wizardry, I think they might be infringing knowingly or unknowingly on a patent held by Crye Precision regarding cramming full size rifle ammunition into small magazines

https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2021/10/15/pdw-crye-patent/

They have plans for three versions and for US Sales


The pistol can also be integrated with the above mentioned Monoceros

And lastly at 2:44 they show off a .410 Pepperbox carbine they're prototyping

Another video of the Monoceros

Enhanced 3D Printed Saiga-12 mags based off an earlier design


Bolt and Magazine for a prototype DIY 20 gauge, Short stroke piston semi auto shotgun


Bolt is made from a 1'' round bar with 3D Printed jigs, drill press, angle grinder and file. Features an extractor made from a Carabiner clip nestled inside a 3D Printed TPU Sleeve.

In August of last year, a Russian SF Guy by the name of Valery Polovinka was killed during the course of the SMO. He is pictured here with a Bullpup AK that does not resemble a Groza (though it incorporates a Groza Suppressor), Kochevnik or Ukraninan Black Storm indicating to me at least that it is a DIY or Artisanal conversion


Ranger with KAC LAMG


XM7 With XM157 FCS and AN/PAS-35. 15lb rifle go brrrrrr


FAL With PSO in use by a member of the Rapid Support Forces in Sudan

Found a Pakistani Guy's youtube channel whose main hobby is fish and aquariums but he has uploaded a few videos on guns

A pistol of similar styling but different construction


SR-2


Taliban with FAMAS


Kim Jong Un with a North Korean clone of the AK-12 family that includes a mix and match of new, old and original parts.

-Obr. 2018 muzzle brake
-Entirely new handguards
-Railed dust cover and dustcover retaining pin are different
-Safety resembles the new Obr. 2023 safety but I can't tell if it's a 1:1 clone
-Trigger guard looks to be the Pre-Obr. 2020 monolithic with the grip style and thus uses standard AK grips
-Obr. 2020 stock (it would be silly imo the get the Obr. 2020 stock and not the new monolithic grip and trigger guard assembly so I might be wrong about the trigger guard).

I get the feeling the 5th circuit really, really hates gun laws in general.

After US. v Ramhi most fifth circuit cases on the issue have been remanded (ex: US v. Daniels on striking down 922 (g) (3) )... Still, the 5th is not a fan of gun control, a new case has popped up:

US v. Connelly No. 23-50312 has ruled that 922 (g) (3) cannot apply to someone unless they are currently intoxicated and possessing a firearm.

Paola Connelly is a non-violent, marijuana smoking gunowner. El Paso police came to her house in response to a “shots fired” call. When they arrived, they saw John, Paola’s husband, standing at their neighbor’s door firing a shotgun. After arresting him, they spoke with Paola, who indicated that she would at times smoke marijuana as a sleep aid and for anxiety. A sweep revealed that the Connellys’ home contained drug paraphernalia and several firearms, including firearms owned by Paola. There was no indication that Paola was intoxicated at the time.

Paola was charged with violating: (1) 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(3) by possessing firearms and ammunition as an unlawful user of a controlled substance, and (2) 18 U.S.C. § 922(d)(3) by providing firearms and ammunition to an unlawful user of a controlled substance. Paola argued in a motion to dismiss, and the District Court ultimately agreed, that §§ 922(g)(3) and 922(d)(3) were facially unconstitutional and that § 922(g)(3) was unconstitutional as applied to her under the Second Amendment.

This appeal asks us to consider whether Paola’s Second Amendment rights were infringed, and the answer depends on whether § 922(g)(3) is consistent with our history and tradition of firearms regulation. The short of it is that our history and tradition may support some limits on a presently intoxicated person’s right to carry a weapon (and for that reason Paola’s facial challenges to §§ 922(g)(3) and 922(d)(3) fail), but they do not support disarming a sober person based solely on past substance usage. Nor, contrary to what the government contends, do restrictions on the mentally ill or more generalized traditions of disarming “dangerous” persons apply to nonviolent, occasional drug users when of sound mind. We AFFIRM as to Paola’s as-applied challenge and REVERSE as to her facial challenges.

Not only is this a circuit split this decision is split inside the 5th circuit COA with US. v Daniels 23-376

My fellow gun niggers what's even the point of the SIG spear? I see no advantage to it unless you are fighting a large population heavily armed with M4-compatible weapons in a geologically diverse area and you don't want the "enemy" to resupply. I can only think of one country where that's the case.

MAGA country in case you are retarded.
