  16.  @theosvult4857  the problem is, we have a system that basically looks if you've ever been committed to a mental hospital or if a psychologist flagged you as a dangerous person. If you make people take a test before getting the gun... then they can ban guns without actually banning guns. Just make the "sanity check" almost impossible to pass. My girlfriend tried to join my country's equivalent of the FBI and she failed selection in the psychological evaluation. The problem? The standards are so strict that they considered that she was "not trusting enough". You'd think they want investigators who don't believe suspects testimonies and verify the facts, right? Either way, imagine they just put those standards on the sanity check. Oh, you don't trust the government? You're crazy, no gun. Oh, you trust the government too much? That's crazy, no gun. Do you trust random people? No? That's crazy, you're paranoid. Oh, you trust them? That's naive, you're crazy.

  20.  @basti080891  "Many" European countries is misleading because there's also European countries where suppressors are 100% prohibited, places where there's ammo limits and even powder/primer limits, places where although semi-auto "military style" weapons are technically legal they might require a special sport shooting license and prices can be 50% to 100% higher than they are in the US. Let's not mention all the intricate complications stemming from different rules on whether or not you can shoot in private property, which kinds of weapons you're prohibited from shooting outside of approved ranges and even the kinds of ranges you're able to use. In my country you can't do IPSC shooting until you progress through 3 different licenses, which requires a mandatory 4 year period for you to get the first two. Until then you can only do slow fire without moving on traditional shooting lanes. And to even get the first license that allows you to train shitty static fire you need to join the shooting club which means the state can effectively restrict gun rights simply because the people at your local gun club can not like you, or even discriminate against you on the basis or race, gender, sexuality, whatever the fuck.

  25.  @Sman7290  The fouling is an issue but not the main problem. When the powder was changed, it still had to meet muzzle velocity specs. So they loaded the cartridges pretty "hot" for the same velocity achieved with IMR powder. For whatever reason, port pressure was not a consideration on the specs. So the overcharged ammo had excessive port pressure, which caused rifles to not only attempt an extraction while the case was still pressed against the chamber, but also caused excessive bolt velocity. Both situations could be a source of jams, especially if the chamber was pitted due to lack of chroming and the cartridge walls were gripping the rough surface. The powder was not clean burning. But the AR can handle dirty ammo to some extent. This ammo was completely overdriving the system. If I'm not mistaken the issue was calcium deposits from the additives fouling the inside of the gas block but it would take a lot of firing for you to choke the system. The hot ammo issue could cause you a headache on the first trigger pull if you were unlucky. And that was the main problem.

  26. Even if they assume ignorance because someone else handed it to him presuming it was safe, he's still at fault because he's a producer and he allowed the conditions to deteriorate. The use of weapons on set should not have continued after the original crew walked off.

So we shouldn't post videos that make guns look unsafe but he's showing off the precautions he's taking?

  29.  @lance862  Armed UK police aren't called in very often so when they roll out, they roll out hard. If I'm not mistaken they had H&K manufacture a semi-auto only variant for them so they could have a carbine, they used to have L85s and with the terror attacks that happened with the London bombings in the 2000s they have G36s, when the ISIS attacks started in the 2010s they also got ARs and MP7s. I went to London once, I was stuck outside my inn for like an hour because the police cordoned off the entire street to arrest someone, and they all had MP5s. So no, they get to blame the gear when they have the Crown's privilege to buy Gucci hardware.

  34.  @patricksworkshop6010  I don't get this rebuttal. There's no worldwide movement to build more skyscrapers to save the Earth. If anything skyscrapers are limited to cities and the environment is totally hostile to most non-humans apart from rodents and whatnot, and as evidenced by housing costs in cities the regulations in place prevent more and more buildings being toppled and replaced by taller ones. Meanwhile wind farms provide inconsistent energy with low KWh per area taken that require storage to meet the grid demand, and we have to go out of our way to invade. We already destroy enough nature with our need for farm land. A man's gotta eat. We don't gotta have wind energy to survive.

  46.  @basti080891  "This laws suck, but of course there is a big difference in between coutries," - okay but you can't say that "most" European countries allow suppressors when pretty much only only a handful are cool with it. The issue is that the difference between Cali and Texas is that in Cali you can't carry unless you're well connected, and there's silly restrictions regarding the handgun roster and the assault weapons legislation but you don't need a reason to own a gun, you don't need to get an appointment with a doctor, you don't need to name a couple people to be references to your good conduct, etc. You can just get a gun. Despite how bad California is, at least there's a sliver of gun rights. In Europe? It's a privilege.
    4
  47.  @basti080891  "what country are you from to have this perspective?" - That's mostly irrelevant because I talked about several different kinds of laws from all over Europe. The 4 years to become an IPSC shooter is specific to Portugal but mandatory gun club membership and official participation in competitions is common, so is getting medically cleared, prohibition of silencers, etc. "Can it be that you are pissed of that you didn't get a gun?" - lmao thanks Dr. Cal Lightman of the internet, do you have an argument or do you just make shit personal for no reason? If your first reaction is to make things personal that's a hint you're running out of proper arguments. If your way of making things personal is by pretending you can read minds like a TV detective you know you have nothing worthwhile to say. Seven countries. Eight if we count the UK where moderators are legal. That's great. How many in Europe? Does eight countries equal the majority of Europe? "considering the list already includes the 2 biggest countries of the EU (after Brexit) that's not bad" - It is bad. It still means that most of Europe has either strict silencer ownership or outright prohibited. How big the countries are is absolutely meaningless because just because more people live there doesn't mean that everyone living outside those 7-8 countries somehow get the benefits of having those big countries inside the European sphere. Big countries don't speak for Europe so those who are fortunate enough to retain some freedoms shouldn't pretend everyone is free. "Also many countries change legislation right now or soon to allow suppressor use while hunting" - While restricting other things. I don't care about hunting either, so laws that benefit fudds don't mean shit. Didn't Switzerland just get pressured into voting to restrict handgun magazines or something by the EU? Who cares about being permitted to use a silencer during hunting when the state also wants to restrict semi-autos and magazine capacity? Plus suppressors are vastly more useful in indoor ranges, which can include the gun clubs where you are often forced to shoot at. How great that the fudds who fire one or two rounds in an afternoon get to protect their hearing, but people in cramped spaces firing next to each other have to deal with obnoxious report from each other.

"gettin help with solving the overpopulation" - there's no overpopulation. We've already hit a peak in number of children in the early 2000s. This means population is not growing from births, but from third world life expectancy increasing.

  54.  @tobiaspieringer1653  the issue is that in self-defense you are authorized to use the assailant as backstop. You're not authorized to endanger others around you. And while yes, firing a gun straight into the air will rob it out of most of its energy because of terminal velocity on the way down, if you just wake up during the night 45 degrees might as well be straight up and brother, rounds fired with a horizontal component are absolutely lethal when they come down.

  55. To be honest you don't need to worry about "clones" of existing weapons. Every tool has strengths and drawbacks so if one designs a gun specifically for 3d printing methods then you can create "worrisome" weapons. But then it's the mind that is the real weapon, not the plastic.

  56. The PTR 91 doesn't roller lock. The origin is a roller lock system that the Germans realized tended to unlock itself with bolt bounce, and decided to play with it. The cartridge pushes itself out of the chamber, it just so happens that the bolt must use the rollers to transmit force into the bolt carrier. The MG42/MG3 doesn't allow the cartridge to push itself out, instead it's the rollers that get pushed out of alignment with the recesses.

  65. Steel is usually lacquer/poly coated so the friction shouldn't matter. However, steel case is often loaded cheap and it's a little less powerful than brass. When shooting in cold temps it's possible that the conditions caused the shooting to happen a little undergassed.

  71.  @randomusername5242  That is just wrong. Balance should be where your hands are, because it means less cantilevered mass floating around. Two rifles with the same mass will have equal recoil energy/impulse, but the rifle with more mass towards the front will require more torque from your controlling hands to recover. Which typically means it will try to flip itself out of your control more noticeably. It's like handling weights. If you squat to grab kettlebells and keep them close to your torso, you can pull them up easily. If you try to extend your arms away from your torso to lift them, the exact same weight will be too difficult to handle.

  84.  @KurNorock  Way to miss the point entirely. If the majority of people only have mild symptoms there is a huge fucking problem to all the people who are gonna either require hospitalization or die. "If you have the virus and don't even know it and spread it to other people who also only have mild symptoms" - You're determining that I'm only gonna spread to people who have the chance to beat the virus. You can't decide that beforehand. "How is that ANY different from the flu?" - The fact that it's deadlier? "So far, the common flu is FAR more dangerous than the Corona virus and nobody cares about the flu." - Because you're comparing an endemic virus that is allowed to run rampant, to something that we're ACTIVELY SUPPRESSING. If we were not suppressing the novel coronavirus then you could make a direct comparison to the flu. Right now, in Italy they're 3d printing parts for respirators to be able to keep people alive. Does this sound like the flu? "H1N1 was FAR more deadly than the Corona virus" - Didn't spread as fast. "I don't mean to brag, but this is like the 10th end of the world disease I've survived. I know how this story goes." - I don't mean to brag, but I didn't get bit by mosquitoes last night. Ignore the fact that I'm covered in bug repellent and the government is fumigating the streets outside. Even if nobody was taking any measures I wouldn't get bit anyway. "So, like I said, unless the actual fatality rates start to climb, this virus is no more dangerous than the flu"/"the fatality rates have been extremely low and limited to a specific subset of the population." - Again, because cities with the outbreak are closing down and limiting the spread.

  117.  @davydovua  "worse energy retention" - that's not exactly accurate. Although lighter, the 5.45 is a more aerodynamically efficient bullet while the 7.62x39 is a fat and stubby cartridge. Right now I can't find a chart comparing 5.45 and 7.62 directly but it's easy to see that after a while the gap is too narrow to justify the disadvantages. https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Ymi6Adh.png https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/BIDjKyp.png

It has nothing to do with lead gases, most of which come from primers so there's zero relation to suppressors. What big picture? Tell me about this big picture. "Even though the magazine restrictions where a very bad move from EU, I agree with that, there are enough legal backdoors open" - that is a weak argument. Legal backdoors can be closed at any time. ""Restricting semi autos" happened to be quite the opposite it reality, with the new law in place we suddenly have access to a much bigger variety of guns" - who is "we"? Your experience isn't equal to all of Europe. Meanwhile I'm pretty sure I heard about something regarding Norway restricting semi-autos not that long ago. "prices for entry model semi autos where cut in half because of cheap ak's that flood the market" - In some countries AK type weapons are prohibited by law, limiting legal gun owners to limited production civilian guns without the economies of scale of military weapons. Beretta MR1s are still around 2300 Euros last time I checked. Again, you pretend that all the benefits awarded to you were awarded to all of Europe. All I asked was for you to speak the truth and you made this personal. Explaining the facts somehow means being upset, when it's you who focuses of reading people's minds over text rather than dealing with the facts at hand.

  120.  @bk109  "and was graduated to 1000" - Because that's used for volley fire. It's an old tactic, the men line up and sight their weapons to 1000m, align and shoot. The effect of several men firing at the same time is essentially the same as a machine gun laying down fire on a "beaten zone". I don't think there's a single instance of it being used like that, but that's why bolt action rifles had sights up to 1000/1100/1200 meters/yards. It wasn't for sniping shots, it was for an entire squad to mimic a machine gun if needed.

Surprisingly a huge chunk of the United States refers to sodas as "pop" too. It's a midwestern thing, while "soda" is more of a coastal thing. There's more population in coastal areas so media will use the word "soda".

  132.  @natas6647  Not as originally designed. With the caveat that there may be safety-less rockets produced and distributed in conflict areas, the RPG-7 rocket designs have a setback safety that requires the acceleration of the rocket to set off a pyrotechnic safety. Once it burns out, a spring loaded slider moves and closes the electric circuit between the peizoelectric generator and the fuse.

There's old people. There's people with high blood pressure. There's people with diabetes. They're at risk and unless you want to make the argument that they deserve to die or some shit like that, you can't say there's no problem in having carriers spreading it around. "don't care about how many people catch a mild case of the sniffles." - The sniffles is only the symptom. You're being dismissive because the symptoms of a deadlier virus are equal to less serious viruses as long as your immune system is standing it's ground, really? I don't get you people, it's almost like you all believe that unless a virus is some sci-fi T-virus shit that makes people start bleeding out of their eyes in 30 seconds after infection it's not a big deal. "Unless significant numbers of people are dying or at least being hospitalized, then there is nothing to worry about." - You mean like in Italy? "And as of right now, there is less than 100 deaths nation wide." - That we know of. "People didn't freak out this hard over the H1N1 virus" - Oh wow different outbreaks have different degrees of severity and thus require different containment measures? No shit.

  136. In the past the AK was the big meanie gun to take off the streets. It was cheap enough for criminals to make "choppas" and there were also a few mass shootings like Stockton. And when the news media captioned photos of ARs they called them "AKs". Then with all the import bans, sanctions, etc the AK became more expensive while post-2004 (AWB sunset) economies of scale made AR prices steadly come down. Now all guns are labeled AR15s by the media (like the Galil in that MCU movie).

  141. That's a ridiculous concept, though. People also see driving as a privilege (licensed activity in public roads), but the cumulative toll of deaths involving motor vehicles is much worse than guns. However if the government said people better turn in their cars people would riot in the streets. Many who say they need a car don't actually need it, they just find it way more convenient than public transportation. The fact of the matter is that a large percentage will not lose the taste for driving and the feel of control/independence no matter how much carnage it could prevent. And anyone who reads my comment and says "you can't compare guns and cars" is guilty of this line of thinking is guilty of it too, because I'm not comparing them. I'm just pointing out how the argument only works on guns, and it's always gun owners who give something up for the "good of the community", but nobody is willing to lift a finger and take one for the team when it's time to ask them to give something up. Right or privilege, it's always gun owners who are on the bottom of the totem pole, and any other item that people are incentivized to give up starts a national conversation.

  149. At one point handguns were going to be banned in 1934. So they obviously dealt with the attempt to make shotguns and rifles into concealable guns by outlawing short barrel rifles and shotguns. The handguns ended up not getting banned but the workarounds were still banned. Now you can buy an AR or AK as a "pistol" instead of rifle (you can't cut down a rifle, you have to buy as a pistol) but it can't have a stock. However, the stabilizing brace is an attachment you can buy that's made to wrap around the arm and not supposed to be a stock. The ATF has gone back and forth on this, and essentially there's no wrong way to hold a pistol. If touching the brace with your shoulder made it illegal, then touching the back of an Uzi or MAC-10 on your shoulder would be illegal too. The sane solution would be to legalize short barrels but obviously that's not going to happen, so they want braces banned. I don't know if you've seen the "UK legal" handguns. It's just revolvers and semi-auto 22lrs, they have long barrels (or fake suppressors permanently attached) and a rod coming out the back so that it gives them the size of a rifle. It's obviously a handgun, but legally a rifle. Imagine if they tried to ban those because you can stick the rod into the sleeve of your shirt and hold them like a handgun. That's basically it.

Modern armor is very resilient against the more common shoulder launched "grenades" and rockets but the big boy missiles are still effective. However, like I mentioned above infantry can still pose a danger to tanks even with the cheaper AT weapons, although you can't easily get through the armor you can easily damage its sighting, tracks, etc and at least make the tank unable to fight properly. Hence why a tank can be considered "killed" without having to fully penetrate the hull.

The AK stamping is relatively simple. It was the welded rails that kept failing. The type of stamping used in the AK had already been used on other Russian guns.

  198.  @knottheory79220  The issue is that it's not strictly necessary to 3d print metal. In the FGC-9 the barrel is made from Chinese hydraulic pipe rifled using a 3d printed mandrel and electric current. The trunnion is three shaft collars. The bolt is two pieces of steel tubing with a crude weld joining them, epoxied to a 3d printed bolt "carrier" and a weld blob added to the bottom to create the cartridge pick up. It's caveman simple, if alibaba or metal suppliers carry the tubes and bar stock there's no need to print them.
    1
  199. You'd have to convert the open bolt to "linear hammer" or "striker fired". Essentially the back of the bolt has the firing pin or hits the firing pin, and there's clearance so that a main recoil spring can close the bolt.

  204.  @PoorCoyotee  "How is not a compromise between the 5,56 and 7,62?" - Because it's more powerful than 7.62, look at videos of people firing the NGSW prototypes. The rifles kick like a mule. "every round is a compromise in some way" - Then why bring it up? When everything's a compromise, nothing is. Do you go around saying "that person has two eyes"? Most people have two eyes, it goes without saying.

  205.  @PoorCoyotee  Because they reduced case weight... And yes, power is very relevant. If recoil is harsher than intermediate, it's no longer intermediate because it gives away the advantage of fast recovery. 7.62x63 is not suitable and requires a longer action/magazine.

Because they sabotaged the equipment before leaving, the Germans never managed to pump out oil before they got pushed back.

  208. It's not a loophole. Machine guns are defined as weapons that repeat their firing cycle with a single trigger pull. When moving the crank you are creating multiple trigger pulls through the gearing mechanism.
    1
  209.  @StrakanDocrusReakal  How is that terrifying? First of all, it has to be cranked by hand. Even if you go crazy with the gearing to make it spin faster, you're only requiring more torque from the human arm which has limits. You can't operate it by motor or else the button you use to activate the motor becomes the trigger and it's an automatic machine gun. Second, firing faster only makes the firing cycle more strenuous on the gun and you'll risk blowing the barrels from heat. Third, the faster it fires the more ammo it wastes. Fourth, a gatling isn't exactly a very portable weapon. If you're worried about drivebys with them, a gatling doesn't output more firepower than four guys with guns in a car. It's the opposite of terrifying. It's actually laughable how non-threatning the Gatling is considering that there's plenty of replicas and homebuilts used at reenactments and nobody ever used one in a crime.

Because he did have to borrow a cow to milk. Either way, if you want to make a weapon from scratch you have these issues. Forging? You'll need a custom kiln to bring the steel to proper temperatures, a pretty heavy forging machines, forging dies, etc. Machining everything from stock would be the cheapest way to do a one-off firearm, but it takes time to operate a manual machine that competently. A CNC cabinet with the right size could cost 15-20 thousand for a quality one, used.

But the separatists posted on Vkontakte bragging about the shootdown, before news broke that it was a civilian airliner. They didn't hush the investigation. The Russian military members are being tried in-absentia in the Hague. There was no data to be corrected. The fragments are consistent with missiles used in Buks, a Buk was seen in the region, the place where it was fired from left a scorch mark in the field, the launcher was filmed being hauled by truck. The dents in metal sheeting confirm it was the launcher numbered 322.

Also, if the boog happens nobody cares about the law, and having a gun at home and no carry license is already better than having none.

  240. The angle has to do with the angle of the gas port itself. With the higher velocity of the 5.45 cartridge, the hole drilled at an angle caused the shape of the gas port inside the barrel to act like a cheese grater and shear a piece of the bullet. So they changed to 90º holes and gas blocks. If I'm not mistaken, Romania made AKs with 45º gas blocks, but the hole itself is 90º.

  262.  @MadMetalShop  It's not a strawman. You said they're built in caves. Sure, you can bend a flat in a cave. Actually make the damned thing? No. "The ak is an extremely simple weapon to make" - I have the blueprints on my computer. It's not simple at all. How do you make the 3mm helical pitch in the trunnion locking lugs in a cave? (visual example of the feature I'm talking about: https://www.akfiles.com/forums/showthread.php?t=237810) "Do you know why you don't have to actually make the parts? Because the world market is literally flooded with them." - It used to be. Parts kits were dirt cheap compared to now. But the issue still stands, you can't claim the AK is a simple weapon when you rely on factory parts. The receiver is simple. Big whoop. One would hope it would be, to limit the complex operations to the trunnion. "How much you be willing to pay for this receiver after all the R and D?" - The point isn't paying for a finished product. It's proving that it can be done. And it has been done: https://youtu.be/0_gjwGNkVX8?t=27 Brandon just so happened to find issues because he was talking to someone he thought was Ivan who gave him a 4 month old file that didn't have the final revisions, inch rails instead of metric and from what I've gathered his print seemed to have underextrusion issues.

  265.  @randomusername5242  Forward of the hilt is also roughly near the center. There's also the practice of half swording where it's actually safe to hold the blade forward of the hilt to help maneuver the blade. So no matter what, the sword is still easy to raise above you so that you can do the downward slice. The recoil typically forces the weapon in the direction where it meets less resistance due to how the human torso is covered. Since there's a peak in the shoulders where the front side and the back side meet, the back has a slight curve towards the front while the pectoral region has a ramp-like surface. If you hang yourself upside down and shoot a rifle, the recoil won't push the weapon up. Same with pistols, the recoil points up because of hands holding the grip beneath both the bore axis and the slide travel. If you hold a pistol upside down and fire with the pinky finger, recoil will make the barrel point down rather than up. There's no physical mechanism that causes a rifle to recoil other than straight back, the upwards recoil is a function of biomechanics. And rifles like the AR mitigated this effect by keeping the recoil in line with the shoulder rather than have the weapon recoil in line with the face and cause a stronger pitch up moment. By making the weapon lighter at the front, you get better control. Weighing it down at the front only makes the weapon harder to handle without addressing the fact that recoil is still going into the shoulder, and your own shoulder is causing the weapon to pitch up, and now you have to control more weight up front. Changing your grip and stance can minimize this pitch up moment and focus the recoil to come at you straight back without adding any weight.

  266. 6.8 SPC is a dead end because it's constrained by the 5.56 OAL. Even with the Six8 which had the magwell designed for 6.8, it was made to be issued with the 90gr ATK/Federal ammo. Which had a rifle Gold Dot bullet. Light for caliber hollowpoints are not really the infantry friendly rounds.
    1
  267.  @erik100mark  It also doesn't need to be a heavy bullet with a rainbow trajectory. A 110-125gr bullet is roughly twice the weight of a 62gr meaning that infantry is carrying less rounds. Meanwhile the Russians switched from 7.62x39 to 5.45x39 because soldiers' hit probability increased. Less rounds and more misses? Dodgy as hell. The requirements involved armor penetration so it couldn't fit the 5.56 magwell.

You people obsessed with explaining how it worked last year. This means we deal with the rise now, we open back up, and those of us who haven't got it will eventually get it too. But we took care of the first wave, so we're fine. So how come the goal is now not having any cases at all? We're going to be stuck in a sine wave at this point.

Realistically, we are in the middle ground. But the anti-gun side wants even more. And in a few years they'll pretend there are no gun laws and ask for more, pretending we need a new middle ground.

  301. "Multiple cities are defunding police" - Not because of private property damage but because cops managed to get enough bad optics to fulfill what was the plan all along - end a union-protected job position that any high schooler with above room temperature IQ could get. Which was extremely lucky because the bad optics caused by the riots made many people actually call for more police brutality. So it's a blessing that cops are dumb enough to keep getting caught on camera committing atrocities and being absolute retards otherwise people would be siding with law enforcement. "And they did it in a very similar way to how this country was founded." - There would have been a lot more loyalists shooting rebels if that were the case. "Again you don't have to agree with that change but you'd be lying to yourselves if you didn't acknowledge they got more done in a couple weeks than peaceful progun protesters have accomplished in decades." - That's a completely flawed reasoning. Gun rights advocacy is a very tricky situation because the only people interested in this shit are gun owners themselves and the gun industry. Meanwhile the "changes" being done now have a lot of backing. A dumb white dude with a high and tight haircut being able to hold a position of authority and make a career out of it even though he only has a HS diploma is an inconvenience. Replacing such positions by college graduates creates a hard barrier to entry. Most of the changes in gun rights advocacy in recent history don't come from protesting but by defeating gun grabbers in the courts. The comparison can't be made. If we started destroying shit people would go on about how we're terrorists and need to get drone striked because we have no backing. When you have backing, you can literally burn black-owned businesses and kill a black man over a TV and the government fulfills your demands. You think if we kill a person over a TV we'll get the NFA repealed? Think for a second.

Russia is extremely strict about handguns, and there's magazine restrictions - although many get around it because of sports shooting exemptions so enforcement is lax. Sweden, Norway, Finland all have European style gun regulations, just less restrictive than most. Serbia is kind of a free for all because who gives a shit about the law when there's actual war stockpiles on the black market? Malta only allows you to get the good stuff with a collector's license if I remember the Forgotten Weapons video correctly.

Even with no live rounds on set, blanks are "live" enough to hurt actors and if they catch a speck of burning powder in their eye the production halts while they recover. So there is a requirement to purposefully aim blanks away from other actors. Ever seen the briefcase scene in Collateral? The robbers were added digitally. Tom Cruise filmed the scene alone with a green screen in that alley. No live rounds on set, they still wouldn't risk that injury.

  333. The detonator is not on the nose. That's a piezo electric generator that feeds into the detonator. The explosion needs to come from behind the warhead to focus the penetrator liner. The anti-RPG cages often disarm the warhead even in case of impact, because the aerodynamic cone gets crushed between the cage bars and shorts the circuit.

Or the real question, why would the Soviets need help copying the Garand? Why would Soviets need Germans to incorporate a Garand system into their prototype? "Saying the AK is not like the STG therefore Germans didnt make it, is some seriously weak ass thinking." - But it isn't, because it essentially removes the Germans from the equation. If there was evidence that the weapon was based on the German design, you could make the claim Germans were involved but it can't be proven. Okay, we'd never know but at least it's an hypothesis. The fact that the weapon is essentially different makes the presence of the Germans unnecessary to explain its existence. "The AR15 is nothing like an M1Garand So should we assume that is Russian too ?" - But we know the AR-15's history. And we know that Jim Sullivan and other engineers assisted in its design because it was a reworking of the AR-10, an American weapon from an American designer we knew to be employed at Armalite. So there was no Russian presence required for the AR-15.

  343.  @sam4weapons  It's essentially the fallacy of attributing an effect to a cause. Same thing is said about Australia. The thing is, both Australia and New Zealand had some shootings in the 90s. They sort of stopped at the same time. But Australia passed gun laws in 1997, while New Zealand only reacted after Christchurch. So the claim that Australian laws were the driving factor would require New Zealand to keep having shootings in the late 90s and 2000s. If a mass shooter wanted to go on a rampage, he could still use a shotgun certificate to get a powerful weapon. Maybe even modify the magazine tube to hold more shells. So it's difficult to attribute a cause to the new laws.

  351. I wouldn't be surprised in the case is actually simpler to manufacture. Drawing the full length of a cartridge to have a thick case head and a thin case wall requires multiple stages in a press, with annealing and washing cycles to deal with the work hardening of the material. Now you start with a thin brass tube, press it into a steel cup, punch an aluminum washer to fix everything in place.

  352. Because it sucks? Heavier than 5.56, worse trajectory.
    1
  353.  @devildog1989  A pill flying at 2950 doesn't have a similar trajectory to a pill flying at 2550. Kinetic energy is inherently a misleading metric. 7.63x39 is superior to 5.45x39 in that aspect. However, soldiers can carry more 5.45 and they hit more than with 5.45. The enemy won't pull out a calculator and check how much energy they got hit with. The only difference is that they have a higher chance of not getting hit if you're using 7.62. It's not just "literally" swapping parts. That's what you do to a rifle at home. In the military? That's not happening. The logistical troubles with conversion are not worth it. What happens is, the oldest rifles are retired and the ones who still have life in them are either put into storage or given to the National Guard/other countries as foreign aid. They're not going to rebarrel rifles that are only going to last another year in service.
    1
  354.  @devildog1989  The prices drop with mass manufacture. The 6.8 SPCII has existed for 20 years, and it sucked for all of them. If you're hunting with hollowpoints it's actually great, but as a military caliber it was evaluated by SOCOM and dropped. There's no such thing as bolt and barrel swaps. Unfortunately I don't remember when, must have been in a Q&A, but Ian McCollum has delivered one of the best explanations about how conversions can have almost everything go wrong. You won't save billions. First of all, it's a worse cartridge than 5.56. Second, it's going to go wrong. Even the M21 program was a failure. The Mk14 EBR was another shitshow. This obsession with "saving money" by trying to polish turds has not saved any money at all. Gold Dot is by Speer. Either way, the 77gr SMK on Mk262 has a G7 = .185 if you want to chase BCs, you won't beat that with a 90gr 6.8. The issue with the BC argument is that high BC bullets for 6.8 are naturally heavier or too long to fit the AR magazine format. Heavy bullets is going 7.62x39 after trying 5.45 - experience tells us it's a mistake and a step backwards. You gain BC, but you lose in velocity which means it's still arcing more than 5.56. You could do a light for caliber load, but that's to increase short range performance without gaining 400+ yard performance. Okay, M855A1 already did that. 6.8 SPC is completely irrelevant in terms of a military load, which is why official adoption only came from the DEA and gate guards in Middle Eastern oil states. If you want to shoot a guy driving a VBIED before he can get close to an oil sheik, a 6.8 hollow point does the trick.

The GWACS lower was fine, but it locked you to the M16-style rifle fixed stock and most people don't like that. Hobbyist 3d printing gun manufacturers don't have the same concern as profit-driven gun manufacturers that need to make a product people want and are willing to pay. What matters is having gun. If you can 3d print, you have gun.

  366. Unrelated. Since the population already is used to having the flu circulate every year there's always an inherent immunity. When everyone got stuck at home the genetic diversity of the flu went down in unprecedented fashion. Entire strains got wiped out due to the changed human behavior. Since the rona is novel, the measures that knocked down the flu several pegs did not erradicate it. However kids are getting RSV at the same time because they did not have a normal exposure as kids and now got it all when they entered school. So we can't attribute protection to the mask because kids have to wear them at schools.

But either way, "Kalashnikov" in terms of the official Russian designation is still a reference to Kalashnikov's design team. If you look at the AK-46 design Mikahil's rifle was actually different from the 47 prototype. During the trials the military made suggestions to change the design and while Mikhail Kalashnikov initially opposed it he allowed Aleksandr Zaitsev to make the changes. So it is somewhat of a branding effort, he was lead designer of his team but not responsible for all of the work. The same thing happens with other weapons, we typically call ARs "AR" even though they're not made by Armalite.

Again, the legal definition of "ammunition" in the US doesn't matter, you fire projectiles out of a pipe with a combustible propellant, that's ammunition in most of the world. What you're defining as ammunition is called a "fixed cartridge" and firearms have existed for longer than fixed cartridges have. So clearly, ammunition predates the technology that allows you to press a bullet into a casing. Technically, he made a pipebomb so the argument is moot.

Royal Nonesuch and Mark Serbu had nothing to do with Japan, and they had issues before the assassination. So it wasn't heat from Japan.

It would become more "effektive" at longer ranges, while "still" beeing a pistol" - Okay, but pistols are more regulated than rifles. Why not start from a rifle? "Explain to me how switzerland can have higher gun desity than the US" - It actually doesn't. Switzerland has 45.7 guns per 100 people, the US has over 100 guns per 100 people. The number is not actually known. "Where im from (norway), you need a legitimate reason to own a gun, be it for competition or hunting. And you need proof that you are using the gun for what it is registerd for, or else your gun permit is invalid" - Okay. In the US you don't need a reason. It's a right. This is not negotiable with with all due respect, we don't care how it's done in other countries. "If you are using it for just shooting, having the ammo only at the range would not be a problem." - So why keep it at home, then? Without ammo it's a paper weight, just display. "And are more or less the reason why people think they need a gun for protection, since that sketchy neighbour has a gun for no "legitimate" reason." - Not true at all. Most people trust their neighbors. Also, the gun isn't to protect against guns. It's to protect against taller and heavier people who can kill me with their bare hands. Knives. Bats. Tire irons. I have the right to have an unfair advantage over an attacker who wants to harm me.

Not sure how animal abuse is dealt with because every state has their own quirks on how they fail to uphold the law, but I'm pretty sure that DV misdemeanors are already an instant failure on the NICS check and during the Obama administration stalkers and people with restraining orders were added to the prohibited persons list.

  465. Research done on the StG? The AK is essentially an upside down Garand system, with similar trigger and the safety/dust cover from the Remington Model 8. Why would they need research on a German weapon that works completely different? And Hugo was sent back to Germany and died before the AK design process was finished. Heart and soul is German?

  473. I suppose it depends what "general point of aim" means at close distances but everyone with a resume pretty much says that they want precise hits, for example if you get someone in the teeth or in the high forehead there's a chance for bullets to change direction and miss vitals, while hitting the eye or right below the nasal bridge will actually "guide" bullets into the brain. However, old school SAS did use the bright spot in the center of a flashlight beam to aim their MP5s at close range. So the truth is probably down the middle.

  502. The Glock barrel doesn't rotate either, but on tilting barrels the motion is addressed by the booster/Nielsen device. Because the added mass of the suppressor creates resistance to the recoil operation, the threaded endcap is riding on springs that allow the suppressor to stay mostly fixed while the barrel starts moving. The issue here isn't how the gun operates, but how tight the clearance between the bullet path and the baffle edges are. The suppressor is cantilevered off the treads on the barrel, and adding too much weight could cause enough of a deflection for the bullet to rub against the baffle edge.

  505.  @ARandomCatOnAKeyboard  The issue is that they had moved away from that original "trigger shaped" charging handle and adding a side charging bolt would mean opening a channel on the receiver which would allow for ingress of debris and dirt. Neither was an option and the FA was the "least bad" design so it stuck.

  515.  @FrankCalisch  So security theater when around normal people. Yeah. The data backing up cloth masks was based on a study where the mask was covering a tube that spat out particles, and it was tightly mounted on the tube with an elastic band to make sure there were no gaps. Not just that, but the mask had three layers and was made from different cloth materials for both the labyrinthic properties and also static filtering. For a 67% reduction in particles. Nobody is wearing their masks as PPE, there's gaps, and they're mostly single layer or double layer. I am more confident in the fat TSA lady's ability to stop an ISIS attack than those novelty masks.

  516.  @FrankCalisch  Reduce risk = still transmitting. Instead of infecting 100 people through the entire day, you infect 30. Whoa. The real social distance should be 15ft and when attending patients a full face sealed respirator would be necessary. Goddamn aerosolized fecal matter infected people in a building in the original SARS outbreak. You're following the "we're all going to get it, just not at the same time" guidelines issued at the start and thinking you're "protecting" yourself and others. No. You simply have a mix of live ammo and duds in the belt and you're firing it at a crowd. Most were spared by the duds but real people still got real hits. You've internalized the "indiscriminate but reduced spread" narrative from the start and combined it with the "I'm personally liable for every droplet I spit out" narrative. You're taking the "everyone gets it" narrative from the start and combined it with the "we need to get to ZERO cases" narrative we're seeing now. You're still inhaling it, you're still pumping it out, and the goddamn fake mask probably works better than whatever 50% of the people on the streets are wearing.

  530. "the soviets may have not had the proper tooling for the STG-44" - This is completely ridiculous. The machinery behind the AK was much more developed than the StG. You know how the StG was headspaced? They used a bolt to space the locking tabs and filled the remaining gap with lead. "When Schmeisser went to Russia he most likely had to help design something based on the tooling they had at that time." - So he made a design that had absolutely nothing to do with the StG, was in fact superior to the StG, because he was... limited by tooling?
    1
  531.  @slickceretto9760  This doesn't make any sense. So they didn't use the StG operating principles and instead copied the Garand, but they also didn't have the "right tooling" so they opted for an even more high-tech manufacturing process... but still copied the StG for completely unnecessary reasons.
    1
  532.  @slickceretto9760  There is no argument, just the debunking of false narratives. The proof is in the puddling? Even though the pudding is a cake? Totally different. A German didn't make it because it doesn't even have any German lineage. It's an American weapon internally with the external build of a Soviet mid century weapon. Not only was a German not necessary to arrive at such a design, it was also extremely unlikely considering the quirks of German weapon designs.
    1
  533.  @slickceretto9760  So why would he be needed? If he had to learn to do everything the Soviet way.... They might as well just use the existing Soviet designers. He was also reported to be uncooperative and had lack of technical education, as compared to the other Germans who had been captured and also sent to Izhmash. Yes, it does matter where the features come from because if they got a German to design a distinctly non-German weapon... This makes the German guy in the story pretty useless. Top weapons designer? You sure about that? Then how come the top weapons designer had problems with the stamped receiver, went back to Germany, died, and then the Soviets solved the issues with the stamped receiver by introducing the AKM 4 years later?
    1
  534.  @slickceretto9760  there's no signature design choice that can be attributed to Schmeisser. In this case the meat and potatoes are fish and salad, so he had nothing to do with the process. He was also never anywhere close to the design process or trials, before Skype, Zoom and Dropbox I don't think he could work remotely. The Soviets may have lied but so did Germans and Wehraboos.

It's also a push back against decades of people dismissing "plastic" guns. People who fundamentally did not understand the engineering of firearms assumed "steel = good" while some 1911 brands had a decline in quality as the cost of manufacturing metal frame handguns increased.

  537. No. Brandon Herrera got a manufacturer's license some time ago, I think. Essentially all machineguns made after 1986 are illegal, unless manufactured by a holder of a manufacturer's license that allows them to deal with NFA items. These machine guns are post-1986 dealer samples, and if the manufacturer goes out of business it must be destroyed. It can be sold, but only to government agencies or other dealers.

  547.  @zerofactor7871  The issue is that production M14s of the time were totally hit and miss. The design used the White gas system which was a mistake, and caused so many problems a lot of parts were off spec when made at mass manufacturing rates. If you have a modern production M1A, or had the rifles hand picked for your unit, you never got a taste for the shitshow that was the M-14 adoption. The Italian BM59 is a better M-14 than the M-14.

  548.  @konstantinavilov1192  "rather crude and imprecise SMGs" - this doesn't say anything about the stamping process itself "the German stamping technology was used not only in gun-making" - yeah, which is why the StG development needed help from a company that made stamped parts, Merz Werke. "So they had vast experience - unlike the Soviets." - Again, this doesn't mean anything. Soviets had already stamped guns before. The AK is a relatively simple stamp that didn't require any of the finesse seen on the StG because the Soviets were working with better alloys and didn't need the reinforcement.
