/AKM/ - Guns, weapons and the art of war.

These tools have gotten millions of people killed in this century alone. How does that make you feel?

I posted this before, I got ignored..I suspect slide-play, so im posting again.
It seems that after a long and badly paid career (140K for like 20 years) of being a literal fbi informer, he got sacked and now he's into weirder, nastier s*. Also seems to have IRL (Online, but i mean not made-up) connections to MKY\MKY\Manic murder cult from russia-ukraine.
>im not a gunfag, someone confirm whether the guns I post are real, or airsoft, please

hi i am a tunisian who want to enjoy some freedom sticks like you amerikants , i can make some primitive shotguns and 3d printed pistols but my biggest hurdle is getting ammo , it's extremely difficult to get a hunter licence and it's easier for me to find cocaine than bullet in the black market , any idea how to make/smuggle some rounds ?

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.

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.

This thread is for discussing sabotage, its theory, its history, tactics and stories.

It's good to know a range of techniques, especially low risk ones which are easier to get others to do, like go-slow, work-to-rule (malicious compliance) and feigned incompetence.

Low-risk activities are great to know because they can be used in a mass movement filled with people who are (understandably) timid and scared. And once there are enough people on board, then there's the safety in numbers that are needed to build confidence for more extreme actions.

This guide will be purely talking about equipment. There are many other resources for training and organizing. I will leave out anything that requires further knowledge, this guide is meant to be accessible NOT in depth. This guide is meant to be shared to people who do not own a gun or are otherwise ignorant. If you have any suggestions or corrections I will edit it. Once the final product is complete I will turn it into a pdf and a simple image guide to be shared. This is a collaborative project so if you think something I said is stupid, let me know.

You need a semi-auto rifle, specifically an ar15.
They're accurate, lightweight, high capacity, and can shoot quickly.
An ar15 is recommended due to their customization and versatility. Parts and ammo for an ar are also very easy to get (at least in the US). The 556 round has proven time and time again to be effective. Sure an ak might look cooler but they are often more expensive and not as reliable as an ar. This guide will be US centric so a lot of the advice maybe won't apply to you if you live elsewhere.

Ar15 Basic Guide:
You can save money by getting a separate lower and upper. They're easy to put together. The upper matters a lot, the lower much less so. Oftentimes complete ars will have an overpriced lower so buying just the upper and the lower separate can save you quite a bit.

Handguard style: I always recommend M-Lok. It's lighter and better than keymod and allows easy attachments. I honestly don't see any reason to choose anything else unless if you just don't like the feeling of m-lok for whatever reason in which case you can research alternatives.

Length: The length you'll likely end up using is 16", this is as short as you get without dealing with any annoying laws. For whatever reason anything below this is much more of a hassle to get. 16 is a fine length anyway. A 20" will shoot the round faster and a bit further, but the military decided to move away from it in favor of a shorter length. I don't think the extra speed makes enough of a difference to justify the extra length. As for going shorter the rifle will get less accurate but for close quarters combat (such as inside buildings) this is preferred. Specifically an 11.5" is a great option. Remember though the military used 20" barrels inside for years. If they can do it so can you.
Tldr: Buy a 16"

Brands: Now this part depends heavily on your budget. If you're well off I woulPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

The engineers behind the t-34 understood the logistical struggles of maintaining entire battalions of tanks where before they only existed in handfuls. Such an exponential expansion of the deployment of tanks, in tandem with the increasing complexity of tank parts and intricacies of tank design, meant that the modern war effort would require logistical feats never before preformed by any army. Innovations of the t-34 would include everything from sloping armor to increase deflection and grazing rates from enemy shells without substantially increasing production cost to simplifying turret design while not stripping functionality to maintain the maximal performance and accessibility while cutting down on logistical profile. The general design ethos of the USSR was to think smarter so they could fight harder, and longer. One of the innovations was its tank treads - rather than being fully bolted on both sides, only one side was bolted, and a raised metal plate was installed to prevent these bolts from slipping out from their position, decreasing the work needed to replace tank tracks while still maintaining full functionality.

This industrious and pragmatic design philosophy is what drove the war machine of the Red Army, making its constituent components consistent and interchangeable, and to make such work easy to preform. Any man or woman, from Siberian tribespeople to West Russian urbanites, could fight with equal skill and capability under the red banner. Meanwhile every German vehicle or weapon required specially trained crews, specially trained engineers, specially trained gunsmiths, all required to jump through the hoops of different corporate designs and methods to keep their weapons of war functional. Where the Germans had tanks so finnicky that only 50% of spare parts would be accepted in any given German tank, you could disassemble 100 T-34s, mix up the parts, and assemble 100 of them again, and they'd all run equally well. In a war of logistics, this streamlining and accessibility is what allowed for the USSR's tanks to stand against the Germans even with numerical inferiority, because of shorter time out of action for logistical or repair work. As the number of T-34s increased, they started to geometrically outnumber them. then, exponentially outnumber them.

Simplified and streamlined designs with accessibility and consistency will win out against the most "advanced" and "complex" of designs, because war is not waged in a way thPost too long. Click here to view the full text.
