No titleWelcome 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.

People and towns from either side suddenly find themselves in a new realm, and portals going between both worlds are scattered through out the lands.

>While the U.S. Navy launches a handful of AEGIS destroyers each year, this single image shows 9 newly constructed Chinese warships. China’s Navy, known as the PLAN (People’s Liberation Army Navy), is modernizing at an impressive rate. And on a vast scale. A key ingredient is the construction of a fleet of large destroyers, amphibious warships and aircraft carriers. The below photo, snapped from an airplane window on December 13, and shared on social media, captures the vast scale of this construction.
>Nearest the camera, a line of four newly constructed destroyers catch the sunlight. Two are Type-052D air-defense destroyers, generally equivalent to the U.S. Navy’s Arleigh Burke Class AEGIS destroyers. These displace 7,500 tons and can carry 64 large missiles including long range surface to air missiles (SAMs) and cruise missiles. The other two are larger Type-055 Class ships. These are also described as air-defense destroyers but are verging on cruisers in terms of size and fit. These are about twice the displacement and carry over 100 large missiles.
>Behind them is the shipyard with its mass of construction halls and cranes. In the basin where the newest ships are docked after launch are another four destroyers. Again there are both Type-052D and Type-055 ships. Together with another Type-055 under construction on the left of the image, this brings the total number of large destroyers visible to 9. To put that into context, the Royal Navy’s entire destroyer fleet is just 6 ships. And this yard is just part of a much bigger construction program.Space warfare/k/, how would you go about designing a gun that could be used on spaceships, using our current technology?No titleName a more retarded way to mount a scope.No title>already obsolete at its intended role when it was put into service >ends up forced into an entirely different role >to this day still lauded by boomers and idiots who don't know better >will never fully exit service because of those people >better alternatives keep showing up, idiots still cling to it Why can't we just kill the A10 program?

Full disclosure, yes I'm a noguns europoor but I don't oppose civil gun ownership of any form. Thanks in advance. Pic unrelated.Roc/k/sReading about Marine Sgt. Dakota Meyer popping some Talib's head with a rock has me wondering.
Has anyone compared which types of rock platforms yield superior performance in combat scenarios? Like a nice comparison where equal force is used and we see what transfers the most force while being the least likely to fragment?
Rocks have been human's most loyal weapon, I feel they should get more respect.wild/k/at threadi want to make a wildcat based on .50 gi, but loaded to much higher pressure (50,000 PSI vs 15,000 psi) and also stretched slightly so that this cartridge could not chamber in 50 gi guns. In effect a '50 super' or '500 Rowland' cartridge. The end goal is getting 50 AE performance out of a bullet that fits in standard 45 acp sized handguns. Imagine a double stack 1911 longslide that holds 20,000 ft lbs in a magazine.
Reasons why this would be kickass:
1. Extremely high energy relative to barrel length due to projectile and barrel diameter, you get a lot of barrel volume per inch. 1500 ft lbs should be possible from a 6 inch longslide handgun according to quickload.
2. sabots in this caliber could be incredible against armor, we are talking level 4 plate penetration if you used a really small diameter penetrator (say ~.17 cal, and as long as can fit in the case paralight style)
3. standard loads will shoot bullets that are ~1.5 times the mass of standard 45 acp loads, and ~1.5 times the velocity of standard 10mm loads, it will be the biggest meanest "service" sized caliber legally possible
4. When loaded with heavy bullets (400 grain thunderhead style flatpoints), this caliber would have an equal TKO factor against large game as .375 H&H. Even regular 300 grain bullets would have a higher TKO then 338 winmag.
5. With a proper loading this round could have impressive anti material performance, targets behind cinder block walls or car cover would be prime targets for a caliber like this, i bet SLAP style ammo would eat engine blocks for breakfast.
6. this caliber would be all but immune to mag cap bans, a standard 1911 in 50 GI only holds 7+1, a glock only holds anywhere from 9 to 11 bullets per mag.anyone ever shoot a sig 2022?thoughts on the 2022? its down to a glock 19 or the sig. I like the sig more but Ive never seen one in the wild. is there a reason for this? why dont people own these?

IT WAS ALMOST PERFECT REEEEEEEEEENo titleIf you already had a single shot bolt action .22 and a .22 autoloading pistol, would you get a autoloading .22 rifle, or a single action only .22 revolver? I would buy a 795 but bass wants to jew me for $170 and I don't really want to spend $300 on a TCR 22. Wranglers are $180, but I'm not too sure if I particularly need it when I already got a .22 pistol and have a few other single action revolvers I might buy later on.Why are revolvers still a thing?Revolvers have been obsolete for over 100 years but they still persist today, and as far as I can tell there are several manufacturers profiting off of them and they are still popular guns. Why?
>hurr durr more reliabul You have to deliberately fuck up a modern automatic to make it jam.
>hurr they're simple So is a double action semi auto, you can even get a non safety model if you're that autistic
>hurr they're cheap A compact glock or s&w or sig automatic will set you back about the same as a quality revolver, and ammo is going to be half the price.
>but mah three fifty seven! 9mm +p and 357 are similar out of compact barrels anyway. Nobody ever shrugged off a 9mm hit that wouldnt have shrugged off a 357 in the same spot.
>hurr durr you just hate fun, me n bubba n cleetus dont need our guns to be functional Then why don't they make falling block rifles anymore? Why arent there milsurp competitions? Why is the market focused on cheap ARs, and anything niche or new is treated as a marketing gimmick and never sells unless its shilled as being tactical?
>they're easier for new shooters I've introduced a few people to guns and after trying out revolvers and autos side by side they VASTLY prefer the autos. Night and day.
I'll grant that there are some situations revolvers are better suited for, like being in Siberia in the middle of winter where your auto's lubes would freeze up. But if you're in those situations and all you have is a revolver, you're fucked anyway.

>By 2007, the command’s leadership was aware that some Blue Squadron operators were using specialized knives to conduct “skinnings.” Using the excuse of collecting DNA, which required a small piece of skin containing hair follicles, operators were taking large strips of skin from dead enemy fighters.
> A few months after Objective Bull, for example, one of Hyder’s operators began taunting dying insurgents on videos he shot as part of his post-operation responsibilities. These “bleed out” videos were replayed on multiple occasions at Bagram Air Base. The operator who made them, a former SEAL leader said, would gather other members of Red Squadron to watch the last few seconds of an enemy fighter’s life. “It was war porn,” said the former SEAL, who viewed one of the videos.

>The SEALs and Marines are all charged with murder and obstructing justice in the June 4, 2017 death of Melgar. The charge sheets accuse the four of breaking into Melgar’s room, binding him with duct tape while a SEAL choked Melgar to death and then lying to investigators about what had happened.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Khng3odOOg0 >drills out rivets on a factory gun because he was too dumb to realize the optics mount he had could be unscrewed and moved to the right to get it centered along the boreHandmade explosive rocketsI’ve always been interested in these. I remember sometime ago I gave an idea for a homemade rocket similar to the ones Hamas uses, and somebody said that it’s best to use extruded PVC rather than regular PVC, but the rocket fuel can stay the same (in this case, sugar + potassium nitrate fertilizer + bentonite clay). As for the rocket head, it should be made out of JB welded cast iron and filled with 10 lbs of the fastest burning explosive (whatever that may be) and it’s detonation of course being by a nail and a bullet. You then simply insert a cannon fuse into the bottom of the rocket to set it off and bam, you’ve got yourself an explosive rocket.
The reason why these are so important is because we may need them during the civil war. We’re definitely going to need artillery and we’re going to need to use renewable materials that we can find. Just about every major military across the globe has artillery, including Hamas, Ukraine, Lebanon, etc. Hamas uses crude, unguided rockets like the ones I just mentioned but from 2008 - 2018, they managed to kill 30 people with them and injure over 707 others (not counting shock victims or animal fatalities).
What are some more ideas and recipes for some homemade artillery?
