Anyone hear of the wiki weapon project? It's basically a project where people are developing CAD files of gun parts and magazines for 3d printers and plan to distribute them for free online under an open source platform.

Hello, /k/.

I'm in the process of building myself a cabin innawoods, and setting up a reasonably sustainable living space for myself. Right now, I still have a regular apartment and job, but I intend to eventually go full hermit in my cabin and avoid heading into town if at all possible.

What I need are incredibly durable and easy to strip/troubleshoot firearms. I don't care how pretty they are, and I'm willing to trade 'comfort' for 'indestructible'.

Effectively, I want some guns that I can bring with me in the woods and that will easily last 10-15 years if need be without me heading into town (obviously with proper maintenance).

I'm not really interested in bringing more than 3 or 4 guns with me either, ideally

- a pistol/revolver
- a shotgun
- a hunting rifle
- a semi-auto rifle

.357 magnum would be a good idea for a lever action henry and a wheel gun. can take durr, and useful for self defense against small to mid size predators (cougars, wolves, coyotes, panthers, maybe small black bears.)

Op.
do not, I repeat do not even consider this as a viable self defense calibe against brown bears/grizzlies.
"b, b, but, shot placement."
yeah, you go with that. there's a good damn reason people in alsaka carry big bore hand cannons for anti-bear defense. grizzlies are fucking tanks.

Read the book 1632 from Eric Flint from beginning to end. If you're thinking about going down time then you should learn how to make and Smith your own black powder flintlocks. Seriously, If you're all hermit then having these down time firearms won't be attracting any attention to you. Beside, If the SHTF hits the fan and we lose most of our tech you would have an advantage.

You guys like knives or what?

Oh, and dont make this a dick measuring contest because some knives are just built bigger than others it doesn't make one much better than the other just because the blade is longer.

Hello /v/, first time poster here, my 21st D-day is coming up and I want my license to carry and conceal. I have my eyes on a snazzy Glock 21 chambered in the .45 but I only have experience in the lighter 9 mm round, so, I need to know, is the extra recoil very noticeable? I am a pretty big guy and can usually handle myself but is there a hugely noticeable difference in kick?

Glock 26 is a terrible choice if you have even slightly normal sized hands. It simply wont fit your hand. Some people may be able to deal with their pinky and possibly their ring finger hanging off of the grip, but I cant stand it personally. I feel that it GREATLY affects my shooting ability. To each their own, but you should probably rent a sub-compact and compact at your local range to try them out and see whats comfortable for you. Also the short barrel on the sub-compacts has a noticeable increase in muzzle flip (recoil)

Sarah Palin 18/10/25(Thu)07:26 No. 15440

My suggestion is to go rent a few different guns you like at the range and try them out. When I was getting my ccw I went out and bought a P2000Sk subcompact without shooting it first. It was great because it was so concealable, but it was small and light enough that it sucked to shoot with and thus I rarely even shot it. Moral of the story is that you need to find something that works for you.

Found this in a news article about China's (alleged) new rail gun.

This is supposed to be a test firing "of a US navy electromagnetic rail gun that can fire projectiles at 8700km/h — without the aid of gunpowder"

If the cannon doesn't use any gunpowder, and the projectile is not self-propelled, where is all that fire coming from?

My first thought was this must be an ordinary cannon firing an ordinary projectile from an explosive propellant and no one bothered to do any research before publishing the article, as is standard procedure for modern news.

Then again, despite the aerodynamic design of the projectile it must create some friction against the air and the barrel, and in turn heat; the magnetic propulsion system may also generate heat on the projectile through induction. Would a projectile fired from a suffiently powerful railgun create such an explosion when exiting the barrel?

Sarah Palin 18/02/09(Fri)06:09 No. 15416

Hypersonic projectile tend to ignite the air around them. Consider a meteor entering the earth's atmosphere.

Sarah Palin 18/02/11(Sun)13:16 No. 15417

Ok, so it does generate sufficent friction. My mental picture of railgun operation had left out that aspect of physics.

H3 18/03/11(Sun)14:43 No. 15418

the air is not actually glowing in that picture

It was photographed using polarized light and the air density changes cause some of the light to not be able to get through the polarizer in front of the camera giving a false colour image

the friction through the air is sufficient to heat it up but not to the point it will start glowing you would to push to more like reentry speed to make the air glow

After all all the rockets Musk puts up have to go 17500 mph to launch a satellite but they don't glow on the way up

I'm thinking about buying a Taurus PT-111 G2 this black friday.

This'll be my first handgun, and it doesn't quite meet my criteria (seems like more of a concealed carry gun), but it's only 200 dollars.

If I were to get the kind of gun that I really want, such as a Springfield XD, it'd cost me at least 500. So for someone with no interest in concealed carry, would a CC gun like the Taurus PT-111 G2 be a good choice?
