Took my oldest son to the range today and had a helluva great time. Brought the Staccato, FK Brno PSD, HK Mark 23, S&W Model 57, Browning Buckmark, Browning BL-22, and the Mossberg .22lr lever action rifle I bought for my son for his 8th birthday. Got the red dots for the Staccato and PSD zeroed. It was my first time shooting the Staccato, FK Brno and Model 57 since I bought them, and the first time shooting for my son at an actual range. Every other time I've taken him it's just been plinking cans and bottles out in the boonies.

I hope little bro realizes how cool his dad is about this and how spoiled he is.

What is this thing?

 

[WelperHelper99]

Now that I'm buying ammo again, I'm looking at stuff for all my rifles, 300 win mag included. Still high as fuck for the good shit lol. Could buy so much 40, 38 special, or even 7.62x39mm for the price of one box of good 300 win mag that isn't just range fodder. Lol lmao. In any case, the second 150 rounds of my 40 S&W shipment comes today, so I'm excited.

if only there was a to lessen the cost. . .

you would absolutely save substantial money on 300 win mag long term.

The idea had to come from somewhere....

View attachment 6524905

The concept is interesting, and that bolt is pretty neat (which also reminds me of something although I can't put my finger on it), but it's this part which really started cooking my noodle:

And the barrels being tested are also new, sort of.
Tapered-bore guns propel a swageable projectiles propelled down a constricted caliber barrel for high muzzle velocity and reduced aerodynamic drag. This technology was first demonstrated in the 1930s for medium caliber, high-velocity anti-tank guns that were fielded by Germany during World War II. After the war, all tapered bore gun efforts failed to achieve projectile structural integrity, but Army researchers have succeeded and are improving on the tapered-bore design to boost velocity, delivering more energy on target.
But the U.S. Army’s new 24-inch prototype barrel produced muzzle velocities of 4,600 to 5,750 feet per second.
The combustion chamber pressure was increased from 65 ksi to 100 ksi (100,000 pounds per square inch), almost double the pressure seen in the M4 carbine.

I always wondered if taper/squeeze-bores would make another appearance.

40 cal because Brazil is full of coke heads and don't trust 9mm

To be fair it was more of a sunkcost fallacy situation with the handful of Augs they bought, might as well use them to run the fuckton of CBC .40 they already bought and will continue to buy for their handguns but 9mm taking over again after the 90s .40 craze, to my knowledge though they've never rechambered them back to 9mm and aren't really used much anymore.

On a somewhat related note you have this done in a brief collaboration of FAMAE the Chilean state arms manufacturer and Taurus, it was developed to basically run through all the millions of surplus M1 Carbine rounds that were left in Army stores but kept having issues that Taurus wouldn't fix as they were allegedly under contract to not be allowed to modify the design at all which while strange I can believe having worked with FAMAE before and gone through their retarded process to be approved as a business partner.

It's very cool and on my bucket list if I can find the right macaco officer to write off on one.

Well the Carlofs Reloading mechanism is the thing for you

Some interesting pics from the ongoing AUSA Show
XM250 with quick change barrel


Steel plate made of "High Hardness Armor" steel penned by both Hybrid 7.62 and 6.8 at 150 meters/164 yards with I believe EPR style projectiles
What isn't stated is what barrel length the projectiles were fired from. Whether it be the 13" XM7 or the 16" XM250. And while I am not a materials scientist I want to state the obvious and say that this steel plate of 5-7mm thickness is not the same as a ceramic strike face with a UHMWPE backing


A little hard to see, but that bottom M240 is chambered in 6.8 TVCM, so the FN x True Velocity partnership is underway and they're confident in their proprietary cartridge


Much like regulatory frameworks designed around the combatting of the digital distribution of armaments, players can identify flawed game rules and exploit them to the fullest while the system is slow to adapt (the gun is for bowling pin shooting)

Apparently during the Vietnam war there was a slight trend of South Vietnamese SF chopping up AK mags to create DIY Xtendo's for their M16's

Type 3 AK with Magpul grip and Zhukov stock captured from government forces in Myanmar

I'm gonna be autistic and point out that the Milled AK's are Type 2, not 3 (there was no Type 3, that's just an AKM), and I'll also point out that from the stocks and the giant star on tanker mag that they're all probably Type 56's, which would absolutely make sense, because Myanmar.

So those milled AKs would technically be early Type 56's, not Type 2 AK47s. You can even see where the spike bayonet used to live.

Also, he nigger rigged that Magpul stock on there, as it clearly appears to be for an AKM, which are different from the Type 2's, and not compatible. Gun would probably shoot better with no stock considering how terrible of an angle it has.

Does anyone have an archive or update of the redditor who had his expensive dual tube night vision set up stolen from his jeep a few years back?

This post reminded me of it, it happened around 2020 but now I can't find it although I did find two other redditors who had nods stolen from vehicles.

Anyone who leaves valuables or fucking guns in vehicles is a retard who should be sacrificed to the sulfur pits in Yellowstone. People are breaking into cars more and more often and even white trash is starting to wise up that they won't get busted for stealing shit from cars.

 

[AGPinochet]

there was no Type 3

Type 3 AK's very much existed and were Milled with receiver mounted sling attachment points. However initial Chinese Type 56 production was made up of direct copies of Russian Type 3's so you might be right about Chinese origin

Are you referring to Alex C formerly of TFBTV who got pinched for like $100k of NV including Pano's and like 2 dual tube units with helmets and accessories and some guns as well?

Well, shit, I forgot there was more than one variant of the milled AK's, with the Type 3's being what I thought were 2's, with the Type 1 being the first stamped version.

I mean, its not a stretch that they're Type 56s honestly, due to where they were found.
