Thinking of selling my Noreen ULR to get a CMMG mutant. The ulr is too big to be a bugout gun and the reload process makes it impractical to use in a defensive situation but I like knowing that I can kill anything the lives on land or punch a hole in an armored car if I need to. Should I do, Save my pennies or sell the ulr?

I'm looking to purchase my first handgun. I was looking at a cannick tp9 (9mm) or an Springfield XD in some sort of caliber, but my coworker told me I should just get a small cheap .380, since presumably I can't shoot for shit anyway.

I know he's probably right, so could you guys recommend a .380 that is both cheap and has some good safeties on it? I'm interested in target shooting and a little home defense.

For a first gun remember that a smaller gun is harder to shoot with
A 9mm is a good choice, it's hard hitting and inexpensive to practice with

Glocks are fairly cheap and come in different sizes

Let it be said if you don't need a self defence gun an old rugger .22 is great fun

Sarah Palin 15/04/01(Wed)12:52 No. 15137

A .22 is not a good Home defense round. Good fun and good hunting round but a .380 is as small as you want to go on a self defense weapon. The 9x18 is an ok round but you will not find it on most shelves. I prefer a .45 but a 9mm (x19) is a fine round and usually has more ammo capacity. Get as good a gun as you can and then practice.

Can we get some love for the old fashioned European weapons? I'm sick of all the katanas, fantasy swords, and guns flying around here. Spears and axes will stay the true kings of weaponry

>I don't imagine why, even then, a sword pistol combo would provide any benefit. Sword weighs down the gun making it harder to use
The weight of the sword counters the force of the projectile reducing recoil and allowing for a larger projectile while maintaining accuracy.

A bearded axe I made. I also have one of the older ones from Corwin Arms.

I should rehaft this one with a "drop down" haft (one that has no shoulder, and the head is fitted from the bottom).

Sure looks like it, I thought the same.
From the descriptions it sounded like a great weapon. Easy to repair and produce, the obsidian shards had molecule-thin edges, meaning they were hella fucking sharp!
It's the swordbat of my people, and I'd be honored to use one.

Sarah Palin 15/04/30(Thu)08:50 No. 15138

Not an improvised weapon.

Yes, it can cut off a limb, if going through the joint. There are Spanish reports of their soldiers having the heads of their horses cut off by them on occasion.

The issue is that their blades shatter when hitting steel armor, rendering them sticks afterwards. Though, the one in the picture, albeit pretty, does not look properly made. These are fucking swords, not clubs with blades on them. I've seen the drawings of the originals' and some of the moves... Not a damned baseball bat.

On topic... Put a rock in a sock, or get a pointy stick. An improvised weapon is a temporary measure. I can kill a dozen people with a pen or two in under two minutes if they don't flee... But I'd rather have a nice piece of steel. Understand?

Where can I purchase a true Katana in Japan? And what would be the price range?

If not possible any places that make great quality katanas from with better steel/carbon or iron?

Kult of athena has some Kris Cutlery katanas for some awesome prices. I bet they would easily be on par with the ronins and hanweis. I have one of there teutonic longswords and it is very high quality.

You can get something awesome for around 200 give or take if you are not as concerned with the tsuka being real rayskin and silk wrapped,etc.

Hey 7chan, knife fag here. Is Hampton Forge that really bad of a brand for knives? I checked them and they had some pretty bad reviews. Got a three piece set from my friend.

Cutco is top notch quality plus a forever guarantee and free sharpening. no interest payment plans too if you want to go all out or can't really afford it all at once

Like most things you get what you pay for. Stay away from ceramic blades unless you have the skill to care for them properly

I have never really got around to getting a decent set of kitchen knives despite my admirable knife and weapon collection. Imo I would probably go for a Victorinox set for around 100$. I find that as long as you steel the knives after every use, You will be good.. Even with store brand kitchen blades.A strop after every steeling would be good too with some green compound.

How's the edges from the factory,OP?

Sarah Palin 13/10/12(Sat)07:37 No. 14812

Mine is a $30 maserin poker. It gets the job done and I love the ergonomics. 440c steel is perhaps the best edc steel out there with superior performance to aus8 and better rust resistance.

I know it is a devisive issue but I have never been sold on the opinel knives. People love them or hate them. Its just pain carbon steel and the lock mechanism fails after a few months of heavy use. Aside from that it is bulky.

I recently came into a Mosin-Nagant in decent condition. Whatever the previous owner had used to lubricate the mechanisms with was some dark brown, amber-ish colored gunk that looked like it was really ready to be cleaned off and replaced. It looked like some sort of very poorly refined oil. I've cleaned the entire mechanism and only about half way through began to wonder if there was a particular point in this gunk.

Now that I've cleaned it off and oiled it down, I've come to the opinion that the bolt is a bit harder to operate than it was before I cleaned it. I'm wondering if maybe this thicker grease was partially to help offset the grinding of the bolt caused by a particularly sturdy spring. So what does /w/ use to oil their Mosin-Nagant to keep the bolt loose?

PS, there's an empty slot for what looks like a rod in the wooden body under the barrel. Was this rod used to force out stuck shells, or did it have some other purpose? How retarded would it be to mount a laser sight in there?

Do not use Windex or other household cleaners. Waste of money. All you are doing is trying to wash away the corrosive salts deposited in the barrel. Boiling water alone will accomplish this.

Yeah, windex is way to dilute to offer more than negligable benefit over hot water

I've read in some reloading manuals that some corrosive salt deposits can get trapped under copper residue from the rounds, and ammonia, being a copper solvent, can remedy this. Hoppes #9 has ammonia in it, so as long as you use water and maybe a little ammonia you're good.
