body armor Strelok 07/27/2020 (Mon) 20:51:09 No.4494 [Reply] [Last]

anyone buy kevlar sleeves? I was looking at https://www.superiorglove.com/en/arm-protection/kevlar-protective-sleeves and am not sure what would be a good investment. Other site selling vests only sold gloves which doesn't seem like enough. Also any advice for how to plan to don this stuff rapidly in a safe area in emergencies? Like if there was home invasion with knives? Also wondering if there are any sleeves with NIJIII ratings against bullets since vests only cover torso. I've also read that material in bulletproof vests break down after two years, is that how often you need to buy them? Seems very expensive, wondering if some brands last longer than others.

It's not the guncraft that's the problem, it's the ammo.

>>14998 the question isn't about the primers, it's more about the propellant. The ignition temperature of the mixture has to correspond to the maximum temperature of the priming system. If your primer can't reach the needed temperature, the reaction won't happen. Either that, or your lock time increases, because the "primer" needs time to heat up. >>15001 >smokeless is a lot harder to manufacture on a post apoc cottage scale. indeed, although, if you do manage to obtain sulfuric acid, nitric acid and glycerine in sufficient amounts, you could most definitely make cordite at home, the very first smokeless propellant.

Even with a collapse we will not fall back into a world that is more primitive than the 19th century. >It's hard enough to find micro lamps as it is now, to say nothing of after the collapse. You can buy a package of 50 oldschool micro lamps for 10€ off from Amazon here in the EU. Even my local hardware store still has them. Buy some packeges now, together with some metal tubes, ring washer, lead and a welder and you have everything to produced bullets in the after collapse once your normal ammo runs dry. >>15002 >The ignition temperature of the mixture has to correspond to the maximum temperature of the priming system. If your primer can't reach the needed temperature, the reaction won't happen. Either that, or your lock time increases, because the "primer" needs time to heat up. I know, but you guys forget the simple fact that we live in the here and now and at this moment of time there is an entire industry shitting out millions of Jet Flame lighters and Electric Arc lighters every month, they cover entire walls at local big stores together with the needed lighter fuel. If the collapse comes, you just have to get your hand on one of these things and integrate it into whatever gun you are building at home. These ligthers get really fucking hot and easily ignite whatever gunpoweder you throw together at home, even if its just sugar+potassium nitrate. Stocking up on ligthers isn't even a stupid thing for a prepper as they can be used for bartering. There are dozens of ways to build guns and ammunition for them, you just have to plan and test which is the best way for you before the collapse happens.

>>15010 >Smokeless gunpoweder was first produced in 1884. Even with a collapse we will not fall back into a world that is more primitive than the 19th century. It's not so much a question of it being beyond knowledge as it is being beyond means. I imagine that back in 1884 the smokeless that was being manufactured in major industrial centers and then distributed from there. It wouldn't have been like someone discovered the secret of cordite and then every little frontier town had a chemist that could produce a 1000 rounds per month in his little one person shop.

>>15017 Spot on. Even for cordite you need nitric and sulfuric acid, glycerine, cellulose and a jellying agent, usually petroleum jelly. And then you still need the equipment to synthesize the nitroglycerin and nitrocellulose, which you need for cordite. Then you will still need to mix the stuff, and extrude it into cords, dry it and chop it into appropriate pieces. Logistics are again the core problem of everything.

>>15055 Wouldn't the police be better evolved to the state level? Nationalizing all police would be a terrible power grab (not to mention horrendously inefficient, not that making police effective would be the objective), but organizing police forces at the purely local level has also lead to some pretty nasty corruption issues, problems with predatory fines as revenue raising tactics, and so on. It seems that Local Area Commands (or whatever the burger equivalent is) could be subordinated to state-level organization (and Internal Affairs) without losing their local beat knowledge, as in other Anglo nations. That said, given everything else we've seen and the other cancerous patterns that US cops at all levels have developed, I wouldn't be surprised if all the mythical "friendly local cops" have long been chased out of the forces in preparation for further suppression of "undesirable" parts of the US population.

Squad/unit weapons and tactics in SHTF/WROL/B-word Strelok 03/16/2021 (Tue) 20:31:56 No.14089 [Reply]

This is mostly a fun and hypothetical discussion, not a super serious one. But what weapons and tactics do you think would be very effect in a SHTF situation, but would be unconventional or ineffective in modern warfare. I have two, 1) Trebuchets and Longbows I think it's safe to assume there'd be very limited access to modern indirect fire weapons like mortars, cannons, etc and I skeptical that homemade versions would be anymore effective than more primitive artillery to include ballistas although I don't think castle type sieges would be likely I think small trebuchets, like one's small enough to fit and operate in a truck bed, along with bow, could be used for indirect fire against encampments and defense positions from behind cover that would protect you from firearms. Not to mention you could obviously use radios or other methods for observation and fire correction side question, what kind of a fire control system could you use for archers firing without line of site? Not to mention you could incorporate improvised explosives with the trebuchet. Lastly, and this mostly applies to archery. But I think they could be absolutely killer for night attacks and ambushes in combination with guns. The archers open up on the enemy, mostly likely just wounding some, and likely forcing the enemy to use lights to try to find the archers, since bows don't have muzzle flash. Once they turn their lights on, not only are they clearly giving away their position (if it's a weapon mounted flash light or something) but also as I'm sure you're aware. If you're in a brightly lit area looking into a dark area beyond, you can't see fucking shit, vice versa, if you're in a dark area looking into a brightly lit area, you can see it plain as day. So if you can force the enemy to turn on bright lighting, your gunners will have a massive advantage over their gunners. 2) Shotguns being used like LMG Obviously I'm not referring to firerate, however I am referring to suppressive fire capabilities (at <100 yards). I don't think you'd want to use some kind of semi-auto rifle for this role in SHTF, just due to ammo conservation, those rounds are better used elsewhere. However I think a shotgun firing buckshot Maybe some birdshot thrown in as filler one round every 3-5 seconds could work very well for suppressing fire since with buckshot it'd have a pretty high chance of substantially wounding someone, even at decent ranges. I think a .22lr with large magazines could be used similarly, but I don't think would have the same psychological effect nor have the same likelyhood of causing a wound like buckshot would. Anyway, what are y'alls thoughts on the subject?

>>14089 SHTF? I would prepare before that. Anyone i plan to include in my team would need to be familiar with crossbows and Bows, also slings if possible. Not just shooting and hitting, but also effectively hunting with them and shooting fast with them. ranged weapons that work on primitive projectiles (arrows/bolts for bows and crossbows, rocks for slings) are ideal for SHTF in my Area, since it would most like look like this: >people all get locked in Megacities. >Vaccination and registration mandatory for living in the MCs >Anyone that doesn't want that can get fucked, no participation in social life, basically an outcast and free meat. >Have to survive on your own, hide not only from the elements, but also from government, that doesn't want people like you running around inspiring others. And since here you need loicenses and whatnot to buy firearms, and any ammo supply will dry up without resupply from the Cities (Who knows, maybe civilian hunting will be outlawed completely), it will be down to slinging rocks and arrows. A person Knowing how to use them effectively will be worth his weight in gold. WEAPONS First of all: Stay ranged, or stay in massive groups. Second: crossbows and slings are fucking scary. Crossbows are more complex, but anyone can use them with a little training, and they're incredibly effective against anyone without full combat gear. Slings are easy to learn, but hard to master, but if you manage to actually get the hang of it, and aim and sling rocks with high precision and power, you can kill grown men with metal armor with that shit, look it up, it's terrifying. Third: If you are up against mostly melee fighters, and you have more than just a handful men, go for spears. They are cheap and easy to produce and replace, require practically no maintenance, and they're very effective at holding your ground and fucking up everyone who's bold enough to get to close.

Post the hypothetical WW3 or collapse of the world as we know it, the world has been thrown into neverending anarchy and majority of land inhabbitable.

But they aren't as much diffrent in idealogy And also have some plans for nuclear weapons. Let's say their manpower is around 1 million. They of course want to help the Third reich to win the second WW2. Where and when, should they go? How would it work out for them? Pic semi-unrelated

>>14377 >help the Third reich The only practical way for the axis to win the second world war that's not through fiat or deus ex machina is not to start it in the first place, and convincing them to do this would be a hell of a task. Nuclear weapons plans are nothing if you haven't the fissile material to use in them, and getting that is the hardest part of building them. Bonus points though, if your operatives get them not only to not start the war, but convince the rest of the allies that Stalin is the bigger threat. Hell, Churchill hated Stalin far more than he disliked Hitler. So, everyone goes to war against gommunism, and then they'd probably end up with their lebensraum anyhow after Europe got chewed up by the war against the Soviets. Then you could just settle in and watch the slow and eventual progress toward the current year, which would probably end up more-or-less the same but with a different-ish Europe. All roads lead to clown world.

"Safe" Landmines Strelok 02/14/2021 (Sun) 09:30:17 No.13226 [Reply]

As we all know, landmines are a clusterfuck. Any retard with a garden trowel can plant one then forget about it a month later, yet the nasty little cunt will still gib his grandson 4 decades later. Problem is that they are so effective so armies do send every retard with a garden trowel to booby trap fields and now we have nightmares like Cambodia where the locals look like Gammatelier's wet dream. So my question is this: Why don't we have "perishable" landmines? Some sort of killswitch that either detonates or deactivates the charge after a set amount of time. Let's say 5 years. The switch could be based on an internal timer such as a digital clock, a radioisotope, a slow chemical reaction or even a physical process like a wind-up clock. Alternatively, it could be based on corrosion, such as by having an exposed rod of iron or a length of rope that will eventually rust/rot through and disarm the bomb. The latter system, of course, would be much less reliable and would not work in dry environments but it would be much easier to produce.

The first was used in the WW2 era VYa aircraft cannon mainly fitted to the II 2 Shturmovik ground attack plane ; these all had brass cases. In the 1950s the cartridge was worked on for the faster-firing ZU series of anti-aircraft guns, the case material being changed to steel. Four of the guns were used in the ZSU Shilka self-propelled AA system. Some towed and naval AA guns remain in service today, and a version is also used in light AFVs. However, brass-cased ammunition (like the one shown) remained in production for a long time, for use in sub-calibre tank gun training devices. >There is no claim of a direct relationship between these and the other two, but they are so similar in case design that it makes one wonder… >The 27x145B for the Mauser BK 27 revolver cannon was designed specifically for the Panavia Tornado strike fighter, although it is also used in Germany's version of the Alpha Jet, in the SAAB Gripen, and the Eurofighter Typhoon.

With sexy andguards with MLOK slots, cringepods, and journalists who know so little about firearms and picatinny rails, you can all marvel how the Japanese rearmament continues cheerfully.

>>9466 Ah then, ok its kinda complicated because there are two vz.52 Also >Norway is buying new tanks, K2 Panther or Leopard 2A7 https://esut.de/en/2020/11/meldungen/24103/neue-kampfpanzer-fuer-norwegen/ >The Norwegian Defense Minister Frank Bakke-Jensen presented the Norwegian plans to replace the equipment with battle tanks. According to this, Norway wants to use the new tanks from 2025. >Based on the land forces study by the Norwegian Parliament Storting from 2018, it was examined how protection and communication in particular can be brought up to modern standards in accordance with military requirements. After an upgrade of the existing tanks was rejected as insufficient, market analyzes revealed the latest versions of the Leopard 2 and the South Korean K2 Black Panther as candidates for the procurement project. >In preliminary talks with German and South Korean authorities, the options for industrial defense cooperation and access for Norwegian products to the defense equipment market of the supplier countries are now to be discussed. >In 2021, the Ministry of Defense wants to submit the procurement planning to the Storting for approval. Time is already short to procure an estimated 200 battle tanks by 2025.

Any word about the new US jungle boot program? I heard only two tenders went through 'as needed', which meant only a fraction of the expected sales. Was this because they were no good?

So are there any news about the new american guns?

>>9297 >It's a combination of MG42 and FG42 That's all you will find until someone starts digging through the archives to find more info, or gets access to it and decides to make a video.

>>9487 Well it sure sucks for Hyundai that they don't get to win that deal but it's a foregone conclusion that Norway is going to buy Leo2's, no matter how good K2 might be.

I have a big loss of a prototype thread Talk about any firearm prototype from the long forgotten past to the semi-modern **early 2000s, because there is already a dedicaded thread about adoptions. Here I'll present you "7,92mm Light Automatic Machine Gun T44" >A franken version of Mg42 and Fg42 which preceded M60. Yes it's American Also why wasn't XM8 adopted? Also also Krása

I've found this. https://www.valka.cz/CZK-URZ-t38624 It's basically a universal assault rifle made in the 60's with a three machine gun variations. But the intresting thing is that it takes NATO rounds instead of the soviet ones. This makes me wonder, why?

Strelok 03/13/2021 (Sat) 20:27:49 No.13973

>>13972 It was meant for import, and making a belt-fed weapon like this is also easier with rimless ammunition. Although the Czech already made a 7.62x54mm machine gun with push-through links, and so did the soviets, but it's still easier with rimless.

>>8673 Why are Malaysian marine special forces the only military unit to officially adopt the XM8? Did HK have leftover bribe money they needed to get rid of somehow?

Strelok 03/14/2021 (Sun) 09:59:33 No.13992

>>13977 I think it was simply timing: muhreens are usually a small yet independent service who can choose their own equipment. They were still talks about the XM8 being adopted, they needed a relatively low number of 5.56 carbines, and so they choose what seemed to be the future. Realistically speaking, they could keep some of the features (like that nice magazine release), switch to M-LOK for the forestock and rails for the optic, make the whole thing work with G36 parts, and try to sell it as a direct upgrade to G36 users (either as whole weapons or just the furniture).

>>13948 in my opinion no, they are not. Their action is very cool and overall they are cool guns, but the safety is inferior IMO(especially ergonomically but you can always switch it out for one that doesnt have sharp edges), the mag release is inferior, and so are the way the mags lock up. They are rock and lock mags and they feel really spongey and weird. If they took AKM mags I could say I could overlook all this for a novel gun, but they dont even do that and have proprietary mags which is very gay >Were there other warsaw pact countries that made their guns from scratch? mostly just the chzechs for whatever reason, guess they wanted to be special

>>13949 I prefer my VZ over my AK, way lighter and a tad bit more accurate. Also the Czechs had a fully functioning arms industry virtually untouched by the war. Everything from ammunition to tanks. They had no reason for using the AK or the TT/Mak, where as everyone else was a bumfuck backwards shithole within the Warsaw pact and needed Soviet assistance for everything and anything.

>>13957 >everyone else was a bumfuck backwards shithole within the Warsaw pact and needed Soviet assistance for everything and anything. Poland and Hungary had relatively good industrial bases (compared to places like Romania), but both of them suffered war damage and then the Russians looted whatever they could. In Hungary they also put in charge the worst kind of commie jews they could find, and those deliberately stopped R&D in favour of adopting soviet equipment in the name of communism.
