I gotta say if I was in a war type of scenario and a guy told me to affix my bayonet I totally would, so there may be some wisdom behind this quote. 💅

The only way to break a 90 degree ambush is the afix your bayonet and rush the enemy.

I remember reading All Quiet On The Western Front and the author mentioned something about how bayonets are not a great weapon because they tend to get lodged in the enemy's torso and that WW1 soldiers preferred to use a shovel for hand-to-hand combat.

>>5864
>the only way to survive an ambush is to just kill them

>>5864
This is probably solid advice given the situation but you're still probably dead

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?

what are some alternative methods to using expensive machinery for making steel parts?

so far i've only found this for barrels

https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2019/08/13/make-a-factory-quality-9mm-rifled-barrel-in-your-kitchen-using-salt-water-and-electricity-ecm

not sure how far printing molds and then casting is useful when building something for a weapon but yeah.

>>5954

this, but how does someone build a workshop from scratch for this? machinery is expensive and if you want something that doesn't blow up on you after a bit there might be better ways than roughing it with power tools.

mostly thinking about that electromachining technique but for let's say we find something for receivers and whatnot

i can live with 3D printers just being useful for furniture and magazines maybe sights, i wonder if you could make your own sight with it.

Printing guns is so easy now, check out the gatalog/ctrl+pew/guncadindex

Basics of metallurgy.
Use Chrome Moly Vanadium or 416R stainless for barrels.




 

For those who aren't lawyers, injury is generally illegal. Because of this, obstruction or neutralization of class enemies and class traitors is often restricted to adventurism or fantasy, maybe even intimidation if you and others are organized well enough (congratulations!)

Let us explore a potent but seemingly unexplored (or at least underground) counter-strategy. A safe, simple, long-term strategy of stochastic opportunistic biowarfare.
This is not biowarfare in the conventional sense of directly poisoning enemies, so if you want to culture your own mold and plant it in a chud's HVAC then this isn't for you.
Instead, we intent so seize an opportunity to accelerate the self-poisoning of (overwhelmingly) reactionaries. I want you to envision a land of raw meat and dairy, tallow and ghee, supplement cocktails and Ivermectin doping. Oh, that's the world the reactionary grifters are already implementing… if these obviously dangerous diets and medication are so normal among the anti-communists, perhaps we can kick this up a notch. It's easy to poison someone with seemingly-innocuous things: beef liver, brazil nuts, water intoxication. It's very easy to demonize treatments like vaccines and healthier alternatives to traditional habits. It's simple to trick reactionaries into rejecting things seen as progressive, like soy, veganism and seed oils, and jumping up to mirror it with ridiculous excessive meat over-consumption. Simply tell them that warnings and regulations are liberal disinformation and a significant amount of these idiots will want to believe it.

The best part is, you can make money from slowly poisoning reactionaries. Millions of well-funded capitalists are investing millions and billions into selling unhealthy products, they want as many sold as possible. Look at how the dairy industry in the USA has managed to normalize cow's milk as an essential nutritional component. Look at how propagandist streamers and podcasters are throwing supplement pill ads at their audience. These capitalist companies don't care about long-term effects, they're fatally bound to the short-term lines and how far they go up. And for those in the USA, bourgeois deregulation will make more and more of these tactics completely legal.
We can help dismantle the right and make them pay for it. What's not to love?

yes it's unfortunate.

>>5955
it's almost a do nothing keep winning situation.

You could also just poison them. Nicotine is easy to extract and can be smeared on say door handles

>>5957
Direct poisoning is missing the point.
SOB doesn't require that we know who our targets are or where they live, they self-select. This is suitable for systemically attacking an entire class rather than immediately attacking important individuals.

I thought this thread was going to be about doing some Spider Jerusalem shit like infecting yourself with ebola and shaking your shit smeared hands with politicians.

Hello, I am someone with a great ambition for the world. Considering the worsening state of the world, I decided to have a proposal that's the solution to the current problems of the world.

And that proposal… is waging war against those who rule over us. I believe that peaceful solutions never work anymore, considering that humanity has failed to defeat evil years ago. Our happiness and fun-seeking behavior have made us complacent. And now, we are being oppressed more than ever. Hence, the proposal to wage war. I love humanity, so it's sad too see to see everyone suffer under the rule of demonic tyrants and their supporters, as well as the evil people they protect. If we want to save the world and the sites we love, we should wage war first. No matter what.

I believe that we don't really have any other choice.

A truly novel idea, you should be given a prize

great idea, friend

and in the places where the cops are relaxed(are in bed with the local gangs),it's the "official" dealers that will target you for stealing their turf

>>5941
If you commit a crime, and they know it transpired, they will be looking for the suspect.

I'm gonna be honest: Why even be there? Get drones to do your crime for you even if you have to have it done by wire. Run a fucking homemade wheeled drone with cameras and grabbers and a gun on it.

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.

>The problem with the F-35 is it’s unreliable, the airframe can’t fit the mission, and the way the thing is serviced guarantees it won’t be available. It just doesn’t work 90% of the time.

What makes you so sure of this?

>>5900
Did you not read the post above his or what


https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/the-pentagon-should-scale-back-f-35-purchases-and-buy-drones-instead

>In recent weeks, Spain and India have shelved plans to buy F-35s, a reminder that US allies are reassessing the calculus of very expensive, single-platform dependence. Canada, Switzerland, and Portugal are all also on the fence.


>The program’s technical modernization, the Block 4 software and hardware upgrades, has been slower and costlier, a recurring theme Government Accountability Office (GAO) auditors have documented. The Block 4 effort is now years behind and billions of dollars over budget, disrupting not only timelines but the affordability of the entire program. Those slips are not mere program noise. They materially undercut the F-35’s promise to deliver a reliably modern capability at scale.


>At the same time, the aggregated price of the program is staggering. The Pentagon’s own acquisition accounting shows program lifetime costs measuring over $2 trillion; auditors and analysts keep upping their estimates of the lifetime bill as delays and tech churns stack up. When a single weapons program consumes a disproportionate share of acquisition dollars, it starves other innovations, forcing a false trade-off between fewer capabilities of many types, or many aircraft of one expensive type.


>That fiscal and schedule reality intersects with an operational one: modern high-intensity conflicts are already demonstrating that mass and attritability matter. Peer and near-peer adversaries are fielding sophisticated air defenses and electronic warfare that make a small number of exquisite, expensive platforms a brittle hedge. Ukraine’s playbook of rapidly producing unmanned systems and using swarm tactics has proven operationally decisive in many contexts, offers a cautionary tale for those who equate cost with strategic advantage. 


>For the Trump administration, which campaigned on restoring American strength while trimming waste, there is a clear policy choice: double down on an increasingly risky, costly platform, or reallocate procurement to systems that offer mass, tempo, and resilience. The moral of modern warfare

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.

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

Want a gun but its impossible to get a gun license in your country? 3D print one brother

>>5836
You wont be able to get ammo, genius.
I guess that's not a problem if you just want a gun, but you cannot even go and shoot cans in the woods or anything. might as well make a slingshot tbh.

A knife brand you will see shilled nonstop on Reddit and other soy places is Spyderco. They are popular because of their unusual designs and consumerist Funko Pop like practice of releasing extremely limited designs to trick retards into thinking they are special and buying them. These knives are mostly made out of a cheap plastic material they trick you into thinking long is special by calling it “fiberglass reinforced nylon” when it is really just fucking plastic. They are very expensive but if you were to hand one to someone who isn’t into knives they would probably think it costs $20 from Walmart not $200. “But plastic is light” so is titanium and aluminum which both feel much better and nicer but go ahead and keep justifying paying exorbitant prices for inferior materials. These knives also come in a shitty box with nothing else. When you buy a Protech knife they are made of aluminum and the quality control is impeccable. They are masterfully machined and you can feel the quality. They come in a special box that folds open and a fabric pouch. When you buy a Spyderco with the Golden Colorado stamp you can notice many flaws like the blade not being centered ect and it just comes in a cheap no frills box. I actually live near the Golden factory and every time I’ve gone their they have barely any knives for sale. The employees are rude and mostly fat women who don’t seem to even know very much. I’m guessing these are the same people making them so that explains why they are so poor quality. So yeah I would recommend buying Protech or WE knives instead. WE knives have amazing quality control and are made in China. Protech are made in California. Both these brands are better than Spyderco and cost roughly the same amount and aren’t used by faggot Redditors.

>so is titanium and aluminum
Wait so the blade itself is plastic?? It wouldn't even cut wet twig, then.

>>5922
> there might be something to produce a cheap/disposable nylon knife that can get past metal detection

so you need a deadly weapon to "defend yourself" in a room where everyone has to go through a metal detector…

>>5932
LOL reminds me of a discussion about a knife that delivers ice-cold gas (actually existing product), advertised for defense against sharks.
A: "I need this!!"
B: "You are a diver?"
A: "…"
B: "You want to become a diver?"
A: "…"
B: "You need this for what?"
A: "To defend against big animals."
B: "Big animals like what?"
A: "Like bears!"
B: "There are bears where you live?"
A: "I don't know."

Funny thing is there are still some folks in those public spaces who arent liable to use those metal detectors like everyone else



 

Read about what the IRA and Spear of the Nation did in their homelands. Read about the Viet Minh and how they were formed. Read Clausewitz and Diem.

You have to start somewhere. Never forget, Castro had 60 fighters on the Granma. Spear of the Nation was five people at first. The Viet Minh had fewer than 500 members for years. The IRA probably never had more than 1000 at a time.

Shit is only going to change if you MAKE it change.

why dont you reccomend some reading meterials then?

>>5871
Not OP but I recomend these. Please share anything else too if you guys have it since this is a basic rec list
