Want a gun but its impossible to get a gun license in your country? Buy a repeating crossbow. These things will nail the target in a wall behind them.

<Tactical Repeating Crossbow – Maybe this is the biggest innovation in the crossbow market ever – this weapon changes everything.


<The 7.5 inch arrows (or bolts) have screwed-on field points and reach a proud 30 joules at 130 pounds tensile weight. The arrow speed is approximately 78 m/s (256 fps), which makes the Adder accurate even at distances up to 50 meters (55 yards). In our tests, the standard field tips penetrated through several layers of clothing and a thick layer of ballistic gel, then perforated a coconut poured into the gel block. By using the special High-Penetration Bodkin tips, which have razor-sharp edges, this penetration power can be further increased.


<The removable tactical rear stock is adjustable. The weapon can also be used without the rear stock, which makes it even more compact if required. The all-metal red dot visor supplied with the weapon can be adjusted vertically and horizontally.

as cool as crossbows are, his "instant legolas" bow is even neater I think. And easier to make DIY and less regulated too !


Tbh there's better options in the form of airgun, airbow, or using black powder/antique.

>>5712
I disagree as crossbows tend to be deadlier than any kind of airgun at the same price.

I feel like for the risk involved trying to defend yourself from an intruder in the best case scenario with a crossbow and how houses are built in countries with such gun laws, investing in a 3D printer and learning chemistry might be your best shot…

at least that's what i thought but my father saw a mile away what i wanted a 3D printed for and prohibited me from printing guns… he didn't say anything about AP mines tho

Hello, I am mister CIA Glowmongerer, how traceable (easy to find) are drone kaboom attacks? Are they 100% anonymous kabooms if you handle the drone with gloves to not leave fingerprints? If you buy a generic drone w camera remote antenna thing and somehow manage to put kabooms with remote trigger on it, how could they possible figure out it was you if you're not in America and CIA aren't satellite tracking your microwave brainwaves?
Like if you live in turd world shithole where police are not CIA level skillz and get drone and kabooms from flea market?

The government can track the signals of an antenna drone. If you were to do this in your minecraft server you'd want a fiber optic drone like seen in Ukraine. Though if they find the drone itself they can track the manufacturer and buyer. Your absolute best bet is 3d printing as many components as possible and buying the wiring and hardware with cash.

Sticks replaced fists, spears replaced sticks, swords replaced spears, and guns replaced swords.
Modern drones have the potential to replace guns as the primary weapon employed in wars, but these weapons suffer from many issues. The most obvious of these issues is the time these things can remain airborne. Modern wars feature battles that remain continuous for weeks to months on end, but most military drones only can remain airborne for a few minutes. Stacking this issue on top of the vulnerability these weapons have to winds, storms, and explosives, and these weapons can quickly become entirely useless for long-term use.
Another major problem is range and size. Modern gun drones don’t have a lot of range if they’re not built big. However, that requirement of these weapons just leaves them increasingly exposed to getting shot down. It’s not just firepower either that makes these weapons vulnerable. Any positive changes in the flight duration, maximum altitude, speed, and the capabilities of any individual drone will see a subsequent increase in a drone’s size.
With enough investment, these weapons should be able to overcome most of these problems and be the thing that replaces the gun. However, these weapons currently are only useful for niche purposes in wars than a true successor to humanity’s primary weapon of choice.

For ISR probably satellites, drone swarms and space planes, the reaper has proven outdated with how easily it can be targeted and destroyed.

drones will I think be incredibly important for rebellious partisan activity within a civil warring state. Anti-regime forces can deal quick blows to critical infrastructure, especially substations, with drones, and then allow conventional fighting forces to come in and clean up. Yes artillery can do the same thing, but drones are less expensive and can do it more precisely. also I've been thinking about how kids in rural areas will sometimes throw rocks with copper wire attached over power lines to create a blowout. Imagine drones spaced out holding a really long copper wire and then just releasing it across the the buses of an entire substation.

China is building flying drone motherships. Pandora box is open.

>>5460
This. Nothing beats a drone with shrapnel explosives.

probably long enough because you're more likely to get unmanned infantry robots first

flying drones would probably just replace urban aircraft and for some reason while this sounds like useful for ambushes or low priority perimeters…

it ultimately sounds too fucking stupid when you consider carpet bombing an entire town is still more effective.

the only thing stopping anyone from doing this is not having enough support from the NATO or EU allies to be able to get away with flattening away like Shitsrael does

it's useful for smaller operations that are mostly clandestine or if you want to pretend your army is somewhat "hip" and "keeping up with the times"

otherwise it's not replacing actual infantry anytime soon

How garbage are 3D printed weapons?
i was under the impression they were mostly dogshit as for making a 3D printed weapon that wouldn't blow up in your hand after 6-18 shots you'd need machined parts that could effectively seal the gasses and even so it'd probably just do you good for like 50 shots at best

but i just heard the FGC-9 actually requires no machined parts and you can essentially buy these online disguised as anything else just like estrogen goes disguised as skin care products from online pharmacies

as well as apparently airsoft springs can work for the magazines if you can't get glock ready parts?

how stable could this design actually be?

also why did Russia and Cuckraine started carrying 3D printers to print AP mines and shit? knowing how long 3D models can take wasn't it easier to just carry literally any kind of molds?

did they stop doing that? or did they just hope they could rely on the redditwaffen division?

Thread for hating on the F-35 "Lightning II" stealth turkey a.k.a the most expensive military project in history to date.

The USAF declared it ready for service in 2016
As of that date the following problems I can list just off the top of my head
- Vulnerable to lightning; it's practically a lightning rod https://archive.is/QSIii
- 0 redundancies in the cyber or mechanical aggregates; any malfunction
- RADAR glitches means it literally ahs to be turned off and on again https://archive.ph/EEd9y
- Ejection seat is banned for anyone 136 pounds or below and anyone not above 150 pounds has significant injury risk, it literally can break your neck.
- F-35 helmets glow too brightly for air-to-air refueling https://archive.is/pKE0Y
- F-35 helmets are so heavy at nearly 5 kilograms so that maneuvers cause them to bang their heads on the inside of the cockpit https://archive.ph/WsRxA https://archive.ph/dE1gP
(keep in mind these helmets are 400,000 dollars each).
- The oxygen system is unreliable (something that the F-22 shares) https://archive.ph/kGGKq

The Plane was supposed to be ready by 2010-12 having been projected in the early 2000s
the list of problems in its past and that are remaining in various levels of urgency number over 800.

>“In those first 30 days, the Houthis shot down seven American MQ-9 drones (around $30 million each), hampering Central Command’s ability to track and strike the militant group,” the publication reported on Monday. “Several American F-16s and an F-35 fighter jet were nearly struck by Houthi air defenses, making real the possibility of American casualties, multiple U.S. officials said.”

space shuttle was probs the most expensive instrument of war minus the satellite grids/cost to launch them

dont forget why the shuttle was made, the not so cold war…

>>5771 oh no casualties in war?!?!?!

bloody murica balance yourself out a bit eh

/k/ has their own patch and shit, i was thinking we should have one too, somewhat like these

Okay

1. that shit is not embroidered
2. paraphernalia disconnected from membership to actual organizations is antithetical to socialism

I think the reason why the patch game is so bad on the left is that no one wants to sell shit except for anarchists and succdems. You go on etsy and its all hammer and sickles, the A, pride flags and cringe fight the power shit.
And all of them are shit quality, except for the pride flags. Most of those are merrowed and nice quality which is cool, but thats it.

This looks like it would hurt to touch it, like if you hold a cheese grater wrong



 

I am planning on getting a pistol I can hopefully concealed carry when get a permit for that. Currently, I’m considering the H&K VP9SK because I’m an H&K shill, but I am open to suggestions.

>>4091
What about the hkp30?

>Carry pistol suggestions?
Steyr C9-A2 MF

Don't think you can go wrong with any of the top brands anyways. Beretta, CZ, Glock, etc.

>>5073
And the best thing about it is that it has a very low bore axis and angled grip work to signigicantly reduce recoil because the more offset the barrel is from the axis of your arm the more it will rotate your arm upwards.

Just get a Glock. I've been through all this nonsense I've tried almost everything on the market. The Glock 19 is the best cc gun ever made and likely will be for a long time. Glock 19mos, get a dot and a light and you are good. You will not be able to shoot anything else better, as measured objectively by a shot timer.

>>5659
I've never fired anything less ergonomic than those boxy pig pistols. Literally anything but a block that isn't gonna blow upnin your hand. I despise those shitty little shit guns, no safety, throwin hot brass in my face, god damn.
