Mega Rad Gun Thread

I wish that OG LAM wasn't unobtanium
i assume you mean the phase 1 prototype LAM. i have a very early Wilcox LAM as well as a few PEQ-6 units and they're readily available if you have coin and know where to go.
I'm currently halfway looking at a 45-70 lever gun to suppress. But I've never suppressed a lever gun nor had a 45-70 is there anything to avoid out of the gate?
be very diligent in cleaning as carbon fouling will seize the action much more readily than other designs owing to blow-by on the bolt and how the lifter functions. subsonics work well and integrally suppressed 45-70's look very cool.

its not as cool as you think. Its just a Browning BAR with the gas system removed and a bolt handle put on the bolt. its the same as those straight pull ARs some countries have.

GAY.

straight pull rifles that are meant to be straight pulls are much cooler like the Blasers, Heyms, Ross, and Browning T-bolt (all available in USA.)

I'm a big Browning fanboy. I like the T-Bolt and the BLR bigly.

You ever shot a 45-70? You gonna do anything with it other than plink with it?

I'd wait a few months and see how this NFA repeal effort goes and save myself $200 just in case. Unless you got a problem that needs to be sorted right now.

They're fucking rad. As quiet if not more quiet than 300blk and an actual useful round.

Haven't shot one yet. Have shot a considerable amount of 30-06 but not sure how it compares. I have a vague notion to hog hunt with it but primarily plink. I may take your advice on the tax stamp and hold off a bit on that.
 
The biggest buffalo cartridge, which was introduced too late to actually shoot buffalo.

The .50 3 1/4 or .50-140

this cartridge propels a 700 grain projectile at velocities 1,400 FPS or more with a muzzle energy of 2,800 ft lbs. if loaded with smokeless powder this cartridge will equal the performance of .500 nitro express. see here compared to 8mm Mauser:

A common feature of 19th century cartridge naming conventions that has fallen out use is stating the case length in the name. this is what the 3 1/4 is in the name. The modern designation is .50-140 because we are all used to the caliber-powder charge scheme but in the period caliber-case length was just as common. and less confusing too. for example the .50-90 sharps, .50-100 sharps and .50-110 sharps all use the exact same case differing only in charge weight and projectile weight. On a real sharps all 3 of these cartridges are all marked .50 2 1/2.

Winchester though, always thinking about marketing would rename the .50 2 1/2 to .50 WCF or .50-90 WCF which is what we know the cartridge as today.

just a little obscure cartridge spergery for you today.
 
I'm jealous, I currently just have a rail mounted compensator on mine. I wish that OG LAM wasn't unobtanium, because that'd really finish the look.

Surefire has a visible and IR light and laser combo that would be an awesome modern substitute. It's got the boxy look, but is more compact than the original Wilcox and Insight LAMs. They're about $1300, so not cheap, but that's the way I'd go if I ever got the itch to go the full "Solid Snake" and mount a LAM to my Mark 23. It would require one of those 1913 Picatinny rail adapters, but there are a couple of quality options out there for those.

Don't let Western Movies and Fuds fool you. Lever actions aren't all that cool.

I have to strongly disagree. I'm actually to the point where I have a much bigger gun boner for classic rifles like leverguns than modern tactical stuff. My first "big gun" was a Winchester 94 in .30-30 Win, and I've loved lever rifles ever since. I definitely want one of the new Marlin 1895 SBLs, but also have a strong desire for a vintage Winchester Model 71 .348 Win and a Winchester 1895 in either .30-06 or .405 Win. And I really dig the Bighorn Armory lever action rifles in .500 S&W and .460 S&W, I just wish they weren't $3k.
 
What do you think of those funky lowers that fit AR trigger parts and a super safety?
Hyper GAY get a mp5 if you want one.
My go to HD gun is my canned MP5 and a gun if lord forgive I can't fight mrs can.

If you don't have an MP5 you're lame.

I am kinda with your dudeship @The Dude . But also let me sneak a Quigly quote paraphrased.... just because its not my thing doesn't mean I don't know how to use one.

Had a nice pistol range session with my bud lot of memes chat good shooting then few Plineys (rolls of beer) good way to end an awful week.
 
TIL that I can make my Uzi Pro less lame if I can find a Micro or Pistol lower, which would allow me to use regular Uzi magazines.

I would buy a parts kit if they still existed for a price that I wouldn't consider retarded.
Mail it to me.

Funny enough unrelated, had dinner with Poppa Basso. I mentioned I can't get over how many "old guns" I want now. Now I'm "old" I grew up in 90s... I was like lame uzi.. I didn't know guns then ... well whoops.. now I want an uzi..

Unrelated IMI looks like new uzi. I'll built a parts one.

Even before I got into guns and only liked the old things (esp because grandpa was OG snake with a m1) crazy I don't have a FN FAL/ g3.

The quote is "I said I didn't have much use for one. Never said I didn't know how to use it."

Such a good movie. I remember seeing it in the theater with my parents when it came out.
 
Soon enough I'm sure.

That said a possible even BETTER anti drone weapon would be micro missiles.

Take a RPG-7 launch tube, make a small maneuvering fire and forget missile to fit in it, clip on a sight that can feed the missile targeting data and viola, you get an Omni launcher than can fire HE, HEAT, and Anti drone missiles easily.

Remember, an anti drone missile can be smaller than a HEAT warhead and only needs to have a 1-2km range and 2-3km of altitude. Seeker could be EO or maybe a really simple radar guidance system. 1-2kg HE frag warhead and a proximity/impact fused system and you're set.

Estonia is already developing a small 50cm long "micro missile" exclusively for anti drone use.

For bigger or further away threats a Stinger class MANPADS or a APKWS system is fine.

The era is smaller Anti air / anti drone missiles with large magazine depths are rapidly approaching
Ive seen them doing stuff with 40mm grenades recently for drone defence. Put a VT fuse in, slap it into a MK-19 on a automated turret, and bam, you have cheap anti drone spam. Turkey developed one as the Şahin counter unmanned air system.
 
Sureshot USA has recently shown off an Americanized Version of the SAG-RU Monolithic chassis system which they call the flat top. Installation necessitates the removal of at least portions of the RSB

They've also shown off 8 slot lower rails in their "slim" configuration (requires removal of the handguard retainer)

After seeing it floating around for some time now, I have finally recently identified a most curious Russian rail system, the Zenitco B-33 dust compatible M-lok handguard "Product 21" by H07 Group. I genuinely think that Zenitco has to be actually retarded or something to still be using their proprietary Basis rail, it's not like the specs for M-lok are secret.

Pembleton & Sons "G-spot" Glock FRT, The "homeboys" that are "on the block" in "the hood" are gonna love this one. Produces around 1100rpm of semi auto forced reset fire, for $40 with a gen 2 on the way industrious urban entrepreneurs acting as impromptu distributors will make a goodly amount of money to spend on marijuana, "the hoes" and Hennessy brand Cognac.

Zenitco has new rail components and a new rail kit "Sport-1S". The S refers to the reinforced nature of the 6'oclock rail that instead of their Basis rail has several threaded steel inserts. This was done because apparently there were rare occurrences of Certified Donetsk Trench Raiders torquing their forward grips clean off.
