Gun spergs, I need your help - I have a stupid

[Retrograde Mercury]

I want to educate myself and learn something new, this time it's guns. What are your favourite resources, how did you get into the hobby, basic stuff all newbies must know? All that stuff.

GOT A SELECTION OF GOOD THINGS ON SALE, STRANGER.

Just go to /k/ lmao. If you are serious about learning about guns, I would direct you to the Do/k/ument torrent link on murdercube.com, but the site went down sometime last year. But a copy of the site is on the-eye.eu and some /k/ommando probably has a link/pastebin where the torrent links are. Speaking of pastebins, there are a bunch of generals on /k/ that have pastebins that have basic resources for people that want to know more about good handguns, AKs and gear along with good info to know when buying one like the price of the gun and the ammo depending on the ammo and what the cheapest guns on the market currently are.

KF Mega Gun Thread. I also love how op has a Calvin avatar for a gun thread.

Just join the army or the marines you'll learn everything you need to know.

But seriously what are you interested in exactly? How to shoot, safety, gun laws etc?

 

[Nobunaga]

Just aim for the center of mass op
Good luck on your future school shooting

Sorry, you can't borrow my cherished father son memories of destroying beer cans and rusted out Pintos in the desert.

My advice is don't worry about any shit the internet says to start. Only thing you need to research is state law.

• Don't overthink the first purchase. Get a Glock 19, a S&W M&P Sport 2, or a nice 12 gauge pump. These will hold their value if you want to sell them later. You don't need a special unique gun and you don't need tacticool weapon mods.
• Look up a local gun safety course and attend it
• Go to the range often
• r/gundeals will help you find good ammo prices.

Follow this you'll be able to tell when people are talking out of their ass online, which is almost always.

If you want to be a badass and assert your dominance at the range, get this:

Honestly what made me post this thread is a shit ton of anime girls with guns in my twitter feed. It drives me crazy that I don't know what all those parts are for, and they look epic.
Ammunition and clothing would be interesting too. Basically everything that can be drawn and seen.
What I'm least interested in is purchasing a gun (at least currently), but like I said I came here to educate myself and all info is good info.

I honestly tried to find that thread before posting mine, thank you a bunch.

When I read the title, I thought OP was planning to hire a hitman.

I'd start with a simple shotgun. Mossberg 500 is a great quality gun at a very cheap price. Fun to shoot clays with (I've never really been into shooting paper targets for fun, only when I need to sight in a hunting firearm) and you can hunt just about anything with a 12 gauge, from squirrels to deer.

I also prefer shotguns to handguns for home defense as well. I feel Id have a better chance to hit someone with full choke and BBs in a dark room when I'm suddenly woken up by an intruder than I would with a 9mm.

Literally depends where you are and you local laws, that is if you want for personal ownership and shooting.

If you wanna learn more about the in depth design an functional aspects that may not be always relevant check out forgotten weapons and his playlist called "How Does it Work:"

https://youtu.be/Ga4uoWmfEt4

Since you are doing it for art first and ownership second. Check out many of ian's videos to see rare shit and how it worked.

Also check out inrangetv too for more practical application.

That is some quick shit right off the top of my head.

EDIT:

Oh one last thing. Just remember guns are tubes of metal, with some springs, and maybe wood/plastic/metal furniture. They are simple machines made from well understood parts. There really is no mystical shit here, as gun development has pretty much platitude since the end of ww2 really. Don't thing of them as super weird tech magic shit, as many do.

Here is rule #1 of gun safety: when firing, hold the gun sideways and only use one hand. This is how every rapper holds guns in their music videos and if anyone knows something about gun usage it's those guys.

 

[usernames can change now!]

Just binge watch Forgotten Weapons and C&Rsenal.

Go to a range in your area and try out some pistols in 9x19mm Parabellum. That is the NATO standard for side pistols so you should have lots to try out. Listen to the instructor when he/she tells you how to hold it. I cannot stress that last bit enough.

 

[Draza]

Go to gun school and also fire some guns at the range.

 

[Jaded Optimist]

A .22 is a nice "baby's first gun". Get a cheap used .22 rimfire rifle at a gun show, anshutz are nice. Learn the basics, start plinking. Ammo is cheap and plentiful as well.

All you need to know is that AK-47's are better than the AR.
