Board: /k/
"/k/ - Weapons" is 4chan's imageboard for discussing all types of weaponry, from military tanks to guns and knives.
Welcome to /k/, 4chan's weapons board. Our board centers around weapons, armor, and other myriad military technology. While guns are the primary topic, threads involving any other sort of weapons, from swords and knives to tanks and jet fighters, come up frequently as well. If you're new, we suggest reading the sticky at http://amagicalplace.wikia.com/wiki/Sticky to get acquainted with the board's subject matter.
Before posting a thread, please check our catalog to ensure that a thread about the same topic does not already exist.
>>>/k/catalog /k/ is a board devoted to weapons and military equipment.
Discussions about politics or current events belong on /pol/.
>>>/pol/ Rate they/them's kit.
I'll start.
Chest mounted pistol holsters are retarded and an immediate sign to me you've never trained seriously in any real capacity. So whats with all the fuss about tactical donkeys exactly Post pics of the F-35 that you like. Does the US Navy think that other ships don’t exist or that they are always entitled to go ahead Ukie armored car storms Russian trench and Ukie soldiers hand deliver a TM mine into a Russian bunker.
I’ve read about this during WW1 and WW2, surprised to see it in this war with so much surveillance seeing you coming from miles away. >The elite training of the Finnish
>The GDP and military spending of the Polish
>The fanaticism and ingenuity of the Ukrainians
>The arms production of the Czechs
Would this be THE most powerful military force on the planet if they were united? I can't think of a more powerful combination. In these trying times, let's share some fun and good-hearted stories about working and training together with other countries' militaries during combat, exercises, trainings etc. Bonus points if it involves MRE swapping and testing each others guns/equipment. Protector RG1, the UK's reaper replacement, has flown from Waddington.
https://ukdefencejournal.org.uk/britains-new-protector-drone-moves-closer-to-service/ nothing else even comes close There are five winners.
Two have been announced.
They are Jakl 9MM and X9.
Discuss the candidates.
Discuss the results.
Discuss. There are rumors that Fincantieri has offered the just-retired Italian Navy aircraft carrier Giuseppe Garibaldi to Indonesia for USD390 million including refurbishment costs. How fucked are China and Australia? Post disgusting triggers. Fat triggers, skinny triggers, curvy ones. Ebony triggers. Post triggers. Haven't seen one of these in a while. Full auto.
Ruty Firmin said the SAS used semi-auto only because you are liable to shoot hostages.
Paul Howe said they only ever used semi-auto in their ops.
Other than movies, is there an application for burst/full in rifles/carbines (5.56) during CQB specifically ?

You shouldn't be chasing for spec values but they do exist and if you wanted to know what "better spec" values are there's a way to know which unit is desirable over another.
Most retailers won't post this info as they build NVDs to order, first come first serve, and depending on their grading scale of high, mid, low tier it may differ from retailers. If a retailer offer a “ready to ship” fully built units they will list the spec values. Hand select is an option from retailers that will try to match to your spec requirements.
Some reputable retailers:

SNR: signal to noise ratio, the amount of signal the tube can make compared to the noise
EBI: equivalent background information, how much false image appears in the screen through which the actual image has to show, sort of a noise floor of sorts
Halo: How big the circle of bloom is around lights
Photocathode Sensitivity: How sensitive the photocathode is
LP Resolution: Line pair res of the center of the image as measure against a standardized chart
If one spec is shit it negates the rest, if you have a halo of 2.0 it kinda fucks on an EBI of 0.20 if you want to do any kind of shooting and it's all a balance game
The numbers to meet or beat are
EBI under 1, preferably under 0.6 being great, 0.1 is gucci
Halo under 1, anything under 0.7 is awesome
SNR, over 25 anything over 30 is gucci
Photocathode, 1900+ is pretty great, 2500+ is stellar
Resolution of 64+ is good, 72+ is gucci Still the coolest movie gun well boys im a day late, but here she is, first to get trips names her (Spanish inspired)

understands Danish, Swedish and Finish only trough own dick. bros, it is with a heavy heart that I must inform you that the MT-LB is functionally extinct in the Russian army
Two MT-LBs were destroyed a few days ago and since then none were spotted along the entire line of contact. While there are some still visible in storage, these haven't been moved since the start of the war and are likely the worst remaining stock left and probably unsalvageable

Supposedly the head of the Belgian General Staff Frederik Vansina, in an interview with Le Soir newspaper said that 30 Belgian F-16s will be delayed for the better part of a year — until at least the end of 2025. The reason provided: delay receiving their F-35s. Sorry /k/ but shooting at paper is fucking boring as shit 
As many are aware a Koksan got droned the other day. Good job Ukraine and i mean that sincerely. I would have commented in detail on it in detail earlier but unknown anti Juche western war mongers snuck into my house a few days ago and dumped a bottle of whisky on my laptop.

First: Good job, in a later post i'll suggest better ways to take them out because this one didn't work.
Second: It's a M1989 not a M1978, reporters should at least use google and Wikipedia.
Third: The footage clearly shows it getting bonked...Right in the place a VOG-17 will not do anything besides scratch the paint. It almost looks like the VOG hit the barrel which it will do absolutely nothing to but even it they nailed it dead center over the engine/hydraulic unit a frag ain't cutting it. I'll detail this later.
You can see the thermal bloom from the explosion and before they cut away it is unharmed, if there was a fire or if it blow up they would have shown it. If it was a RPG drop it would have likely disabled it, although probably not blown it up.
Much as i am conflicted about this i am sure the Norks are extracting an above market price for them and the crews so arguably everyone that is destroyed just makes them more money. My mental gymnastics now finished in a later post i'll detail how to destroy them as best i know for the heroes over at Kraken.

Are they all just no guns never shoots? Its honestly confusing how you see guys go out with rifles and multiple mags and go like 3/1 https://litter.catbox.moe/mxjmdd.mp4 What would your go to firearm and strategy be if they were suddenly the size of grown men and reproducing like crazy? >Ugly

I see no reason to like the FG-42. Will there ever be a conflict as /k/ino as vietnam again? It's happening, Kino is back on the menu. I'm wondering if Italy could provide Ariete. As requested, here is Military Balance 2025. It is once again time for us to test whether we can still add numbers.

Thoughts? New Russian Wunderwaffe just dropped. How should we call this...thing? Noguns here, is there actually a possiblity of being mortally shot while remaining concious and being able to hold converstation before bleeding out/dying of lead poisoning in short order? Like the way hollywood shows it, with a guy saying his goodbyes to his loved ones and promtly dying would holding the hammer down actually prevent the gun from unloading if Dent tried pulling the trigger? (i know nothing about guns btw) How powerful and how big was the British army. And what is the current state of the British army / Navy In Europe they get a handful of models of single shot bullpup rifles, which are indisputably the absolute perfect firearm for hunting in the woodlands. Not to mention that suppressors are even easier to acquire in many parts of Europe.
Yet, in America we get 100 models of Glock pistols, and bullpupping is reserved only for benchrest bolt actions, tacticool autoloaders, and 22LR toys.
How do I cope with knowing that perfection has so far eluded the American gun market? Yes, I'm aware that the NFA makes these guns tricky. But you're telling me not one manufacturer has even attempted this? The closest effort so far is the KelTec RDB Survival, which is hampered by being an autoloader and is probably 2lbs heavier than it would be otherwise.
I would love to make it myself, but alas I am simply a poorfag only with enough expendable income to buy such a rifle, but not start a manufacturing business. i think the gripen is a neat little plane Do you tote Glocks and Tecs like a real nigga? I feel like the Tokarev pistol and the 7.62x25 cartridge should have at least as big a fan club as the 1911 and .45acp. Guys, what do you think of this Min/Max build? >That's some serious hardware you got there
>It's literally just a Beretta 92 post strategic bombardment aircraft looking for scenes of levity during war time like webm related

On this board about 15 years ago I came across an internal IRA documentary and I'm struggling to find it. One specific quote was something along the lines of: "As long as the IRA can manufacture their own weapons, they will never be disarmed." towards the end.
Pls help if possible. Also IRA thread. Last one died at like 15 replies so time for a new one. Between giving money to turks or SIG, which is theesser of two evils? Thinking about getting either an MPX or AP5. I know the AP5 is an official license or whatever and their standards are about the same as H&K, just for $2,000 less is there really a civilian market for the .50 BMG, in this economy? And how autistic are you about it? Hey anons, it Derl. I posted my palmeddo dagger last week and got banned. I promoseed to share some pics of me gun playing with my roomates big iron but then got banned. I also have a smith and weston 9mm and some picture I've taken before with it if antlne wants to see it I'm going to trade it in though to help pay for the dagger
Thank
Derl Do big boobs help absorb recoil better? >SEVEN-SIX-TWO MILLIMETER, FULL METAL JACKET, 1987, STANLEY KUBRICK How the fuck is it so light? 11kg without tripod is light for a full-power cartridge machine gun, it must hurt like a motherfucker to shoot this thing. why doesn't someone make an ao-46 style lower for ARs? i'd buy that. https://youtu.be/OplhpCw0utY?si=Q9s1CwD0OUoT3B9D how the FUCK did the magazine work!?

What is that nigga doing up there? You're a boipussi prostitute in drag in Whitechapel in 1888 on your way to service the local glory hole. Suddenly your round the corner and see this crazed Jewish barber muttering in Yiddish coming right at you with a knife, he thinks that you're a woman and have the organs that he wishes that he had (he wants to make a suit from them). Unlike his previous victims however, you just stopped by the local gun store today and have any pre-1888 firearm (or other weapon) and copious amounts of ammunition on your person.
What is it and how do you defend yourself? Why did West Germany buy literally a thousand of these pieces of shit? This looks like a pretty cool pistol. Would it be a good first gun buy? What pistol would you suggest? I like the full size looking ones like the 1911 and Desert Eagle >SHE WAS B-17 YOU SICK FUCK!!! Anyone wanna share some of their 3d printed projects?

>it is good blade steel saar >By 1083 the Song court was producing hundreds of thousands of fire arrows for their garrisons.[27] Bombs and the first proto-guns, known as "fire lances", became prominent during the 12th century and were used by the Song during the Jin-Song Wars. Fire lances were first recorded to have been used at the Siege of De'an in 1132 by Song forces against the Jin.[28] In the early 13th century the Jin used iron-casing bombs.[29] Projectiles were added to fire lances, and re-usable fire lance barrels were developed, first out of hardened paper, and then metal. By 1257 some fire lances were firing wads of bullets.[30][31] In the late 13th century metal fire lances became 'eruptors', proto-cannons firing co-viative projectiles (mixed with the propellant, rather than seated over it with a wad), and by 1287 at the latest, had become true guns, the hand cannon.
Never ceases to amaze me how fast technology advances when it comes to killing each other. When did we plateau? We are still in trenches. What will warfare look like after humans become completely replaceable by robots and AIs? I’m excited because I got my Guisarme head.
Next payday I’ll buy a haft for it.

>Who cares where it comes down? > 2011, BAE Systems announced its Adaptiv infrared camouflage technology. Adaptiv uses about 1000 hexagonal Peltier panels to cover the sides of a tank. The panels are rapidly heated and cooled to match either the temperature of the vehicle's surroundings, or one of the objects in the thermal cloaking system's "library" such as a truck, car or large rock.
When will we see thermal camouflage in action? Khmeimim air base in Syria was reportedly attacked by a “drone swarm” which resulted in the Russians activating AD in defense. Does anyone have any further information about this? Is there any word on the ongoing negotiations about the Russian bases? My guess is that if it’s a drone swarm it’s probably Ukrainian spec ops, maybe worrying that the Russians are going to stay in the country. Hello. This is a 7200 dollar pistol. I do not like it. But I would like to know more about its color treatment. Are there resources for learning how to do this? And are there nice examples of PVD excelling in its own right, instead of looking like a strange imitation of old-fashioned case hardening?

Old: >>62785543 So how possible would it be to make high velocity defensive magnum slug rounds with these i mean they are basically shotgun shells and those come in weak low velocity birdshot and powerful magnum shells and I know it’s a rimfire but that shouldn’t be an issue since 22wmr exists Would you sell your guns to get out of debt? Would battletech style ablative armor actually be desirable compared to all-or-nothing armor where a plate is essentially not impacted at all by hits on different parts of a plate or modern ERA where a hit reduces the defensive capacity of a portion of armor only in a relatively small location around the impact? Looking to unload some of my guns for reasons, put them up on a local site to do so with locals but haven't gotten much interest.

It predicted the need and use for a heavy rifle. John Moses Browning was a genius. I quite like these Mycenean swords. They must've looked incredible when the bronze was brand new and polished. Every "direct action" SOF raid I read about, the Battle of Conoco Fields being the prime example, always seems to end the same way; special forces claim victory after calling in $70 million worth of ordnance on their enemies' heads, and then they go home. Is there any reason regular infantry or even irregulars couldn't be as pound-for-pound lethal if commanders gave them the same kit and trusted them with a blank check for all the same support assets?

How did a bunch of guys with revolver shotguns and one and m1 carbine do it https://youtu.be/3aYuqI_69g0?si=-mPu634ir0lLBvcL The reintroduction of trench warfare in Ukraine has me wondering if bayonets/bayonet charges have any place in modern warfare. we will soon see these in all police forces Seems like everyone is using them now over traditional intermediate cartridge rifles. Every manufacturer is making one or more. ARs, AKs, and every other platform have pistol caliber versions now. 9mm and other handgun cartridges are all cheaper than 5.56 or 7.62×39.
Is it cost, some tactical "one caliber/ammo type" reasoning, better ability to shoot them at certain ranges or competitions, or something else driving this craze? It feels like only the absolute elite warriors like warlords, jarls, samurai, knights and nobles would wear any armor at all.
Why wouldn't every single soldier wear armor? Do they want to die? Is this worth buying if I'm a straight dude? OC time. Got bored and decided to get some more woodworking practice, so I decided to make a hammer. With spikes.
Materials: A random wooden handle left over from an old project, plus whatever scrap I can find lying around.
Step one is to upgrade the handle. I'm going to make a new pommel from the materials shown. The wood slices are crepe myrtle and oak. The two thin slices will be used to make a color contrast and then the thicker piece will be the main part of the pommel. Why those woods? They're what I've got in my firewood pile.

The F-35 is a marvel of modern engineering I hate how videogames made impressionable teenage retards think this shit is a good gun.
