Mega Rad Gun Thread

I just noticed now.

Well I should have noticed before.

Unlike the traditional carry handle with 2 apertures, the big and small ring.

The backup sights used by the USMC are the KAC and the MaTech, which only use the small ring aperture?

Are there any air rifle shooters amongst the threads participants? An air rifle thread dealing with pump/springer/CO2/PCP air rifles would be quite informative for someone who wants to put game on the table in a societal collapse situation. Hyper velocity pellets suck, magnum springers suck until you learn the hold, heavier pellets/slugs give greater accuracy and penetration, magnum springers break scopes but a full auto Hatsan Blitz .30 is not considered a firearm and will put every slug out of 17 in a dime sized hole at 30 yards.

I have a Benjamin Marauder in .22 that I use on rabbits and squirrels. I keep it pressurized at 2500 psi so I can bullseye them at about yards. It's a bit pricey, but it is rated for coyote and I have done some plinking at 100 yards.

help me out with MP5 optics fellas. the HK style irons are the greatest to have blessed my vision. i'm putting holes within holes with them, but i yearn for something illuminated. lightweight and magnified, even. i love their prisms but no way PA's SL3x has the eye relief for something like the HKParts raised mount. should i just go for broke, say fuck the iron sights and sell enough jenkem for an ACOG? maybe a mini? would the gun itself being made by MKE matter? should i shit myself and do nothing?
edit: maybe even put buffalo bore +P+ 147gr for coyote business?

Trijicon has the compact ACOG that might suit your needs. They offer them in 1.5x, 2x, and 3x. I have a 3x model on my AUG A3 and really love it. You probably would have to get one of the picatinny mounts that will block your irons, but it's an ACOG and not likely to break on you any time soon.

Is that a LMT rear sight?

I am been trying to buy one and they still all sold out.

I picked up an RWS 350 Magnum almost a decade ago but I bought the .177 just because I had a large variety of pellets for it on hand. The Ruger .22 clone of the 350 is really tempting with scope included for less than $200 USD. Next purchase is definitely a quality compressor though.

Yeah PCP rifles are much better than the gas-piston i bought originally. It couldn't reach my shed with enough power, and I don't think my neighbors would appreciate me letting a round of 5.45 off even if it was for a woodchuck. I just have the multi stage pump for the Marauder, but it stays consistent for 8 to 10 mags before I notice a drop.
 
Alright lads, I made it out of a Firearms Direct Club transaction without losing money and have received my merchandise. A $170 solar Holosun 407 and $10 Glock Pmags is pretty badass, and I'm now happy to have a dot on my carry gun. I'll probably just make an account for every order and quickly cancel the subscription whenever I need shit, but this will likely be the new place where I get parts/accessories on the rare occasion I buy something.

Airguns are just much more complicated and delicate and really not cut out for SHTF situations because of that, as just one little O-ring will fuck the entire gun. Price is also wack, and pellets/slugs are comparable or even triple .22lr prices for much less power. The only thing they have going for them is that you can legally silence them, but in an SHTF situation you can stuff a rag filled soda bottle or better device on your $150 .22 for a similarly quiet gun...... They're quite often very heavy and bulky compared to any real gun and are very complicated and intricate. Air source is also a huge issue as a hand pump is like 10+ pounds and pretty big, a compressor is loud, heavy, and expensive, and a tank/bottle is either big and heavy, costs money to fill, or doesn't hold many shots. I was into airguns for a long while, but .22lr is really a way better option for most things in just about every way. 500 rounds of .22 may weigh more than 500 pellets, but it doesn't require effort, an air source, the funds, and is more powerful than any airgun in .22.

What’s a good appendix carry position? I’m at 0 cant with the highest ride height. If I go any lower I start to pinch my gunt which is uncomfy. The barrel is hovering just above my dick. If a bullet goes off I will surely die, which is why I’m not putting one in the chamber just yet.

I see a lot of guys with the ride height super low which helps their conceal-ability. Ideally I’d like to go about mid height but my nexbelt is a painful piece of shit that pinches my fingers and I have a hard time getting a proper grip. Is the ordered blue alpha edc belt going to be any better or am I about to be thoroughly sub optimal.

I also can’t say this enough. Fuck nexbelt.

Funny story, I was selling some stuff at a shop, knowing that these guys sell to PD I started asking about what they were getting. He tells me that for some reason they got it in their head to buy staccato 2011. The 5k one's that they make for competition, but it turns out that that government employees don't take care of their equipment, so a a bunch of them had failures on duty. The whole department has shields 2.0s now.

Have you tried a wedge on your holster? What holster are you using? Are you running a light?

Hunter Constantine belt is by far the most comfortable belt I have used. The front portion is rigid for holding the gun. The back portion is elastic so that it isn’t uncomfortable to move while still having enough tension to keep your gun close to your body.

I tell fat guys to get the fat guy holster with the Tier 1 Concealed wide wedge pack. I have a slight beer gut myself but I can comfortably carry appendix with the Phlster skeleton for my 43x.

these were part of an aid package to ANSF, which was ANA+ANP unit after the invasion to handle police duties and general security. prior to this they had a lot of old Beretta and Soviet gear, as well as some Glocks and lend-lease stuff, old WW2 gear like Hi Powers, cold war stuff from central europe like Czech Republic or Hungarian body armor and rifles, et c. upper end people had stacks of MP5-PDW's and AKSU's or similar as part of a modernization effort years ago that never went anywhere. while working with my ANA counterparts, there was a lot of law enforcement re-training and indoctrination to break down tribal and familial affiliations and develop a more cultural and national esprit de corps and help unify things between otherwise disparate tribal/rural groups and the cities and help remove some pretty deep-seated divisions among the population.

That training program obviously failed.... Horribly
