>>47376 Could the United States technically "win" a nuclear war against Russia if it were a first strike attack? What would the realistic death toll and damage of such a war be?

>>47382 russia has 1/4 the population density of ameriga, so there'd have to be a ot more ICBMs spread out across a larger area. addiotnally, the longer they're in the air, the higher chance they have of being intercepted/shot down before reaching their target. if one does go off before reaching its target it's likely to be over a barren icy wasteland than a densely populated area. whereas when russia enacts Dead Hand they can lob a nuke in just about any direction and delete the entire west coast, since their missiles will be streaking across open ocean as opposed to a massive landmass where you can put proper military installations. now that i'm thinking about it i hope King Joe pushes them into nuclear war just so we can scrub cali/oregon/washington off the country and instantly make it 10x better.

>>47383 The majority (75%) of Russia's population is concentrated in European Russia. Learn how averages work Paco

>>47388 Hell, I think I heard the other day that like 10% live in the Moscow metro area alone. Hit that and St. Petersburg and you're probably looking at Russia crippled for generations. Not that I'm cheering for that eventuality mind you. >>47383 >i hope King Joe pushes them into nuclear war just so we can scrub cali/oregon/washington off the country and instantly make it 10x better. You make a compelling case kek.

Where does one obtain a genuine a Japanese Katana? All the ones I find online are mostly from China, S-Korea, or the Philippines. I'm fine with a knock off mountain gook or Pinoy Katana if that's all I can get and they're actually built solid like a tank but I wanna know if a proper Nippon sword is even an option or unobtainium much like brass cased 5.45 is since forever I guess. >>47383 >>47382 This >>47388 Technically speaking and this is a gross over simplification but you just need to wipe out Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Kaliningrad, and a few military bases and mining an factory cities effectively behead the country, yeah that still leaves plenty of people still alive in the vast Siberian landscape but those are mostly just Tatars, Kazakhs, Mongols, and Ashkenazi Jews all of whom are either indifferent to the Russian state or sometimes even hate it but even so I doubt they'd like living through the fallout either. And this is assuming we even get more than half of our ancient stockpile of Minute Man missiles past their defenses which have in past conflicts have proven themselves to actually be pretty effective, but like we've seen with Israel's Iron Dome any air defense system no matter how good can be overwhelmed if you throw enough shit at your enemy so lobbing non nuclear missiles as well could be a legitimate strategy. The United States and our retarded gay hat (Leafland) on the other hand is better off actually since our population density is a lot more spread out thanks to our more diverse continental climates which gives people more options on where they can live even with the fact our country is smaller by comparison. That said though I really REALLY doubt Russia is gonna waste it's nukes on American cities. Foreign and domestic American sea ports an military bases, government buildings like the Pentagon, and strategic infrastructure like oil wells, lithium mines, refining centers, as well as critical roads, train tracks, and bridges that keep the continental US connected are what I believe Russia would strike first since it would basically cripple us. In fact we'd probably be worse off if Russia choose not to glass cities like LA or Portland. So despite all the problems I listed above with Russia I'm under the impression the Russians would 'win' at least in the short term even if America strikes first, for one thing their population is actually trained for nuclear warfare and their citizens have access to tax funded bunkers that are open to everyone not just Bill Gates and his posy, we on the other hand are a lot more decedent even excluding the red necks and crazy doomsday preppers eagerly waiting to be vindicated for spending millions of dollars on arsenal rooms and bunkers in their backyard but the rest are soft and will go batshit insane when they can't post on their vanity on Instagram or watch nigger porn. The wars that would come after nuclear exchange would be pretty predictable though. Russia's greatest strength is being surrounded by a whole lotta nothing and barren deserts which is why they focus on having a ton of tanks where as America/US's greatest strength is being surrounded by two huge vast oceans which is why we focus on having a huge navy and we already proved ineffective against the Taliban so occupying Russia isn't realistic at all. Both sides of that conflict would probably back any radical militant group willing to Kill Russians/Americans at the time regardless of their morality, Maybe Russia would make an attempt at re-annexing Alaska and would be heavily reliant on Chinese and North Korean navy ships assuming China's ship ports aren't glassed to by the end of such an exchange and I imagine we'd retaliate by trying to re-annex those formally Japanese islands that the Imperial army annexed for the lolz and then lost to Russia who re-annex them for the lolz. Why? Because this would be a post apocalypse America so I doubt our greatest concern is gonna be whatever the fuck is going on in Eastern Europe or Central Asia at the time and the N.A.T.O. remnants would probably just get absorbed into Poland's Neo Lithuanian commonwealth or something retarded like that. Also keep in mind it won't just be Russian nukes but likely some North Korean nukes too, I'm not sure about China though I'm sure they'd be tempted of course but maybe they'll try and declare themselves neutral and let their neighbors handle the dirty work if they feel like they can get away with that untouched and then take advantage of everyone being reduced into a pile of rubble and start annexing more shit afterwords. Well if that ever happens may the best retarded Mutt race win I guess. Well that's my stupid head cannon anyway, feel free to call me a retarded faggot if you disagree though.

>>47394 >Where does one obtain a genuine a Japanese Katana? The answer might be to go to Nippon and commission one in person from one of the few blacksmiths that still make them the traditional way. Wee bit of a problem is that swords there seem to be more strictly regulated than guns in Europe, so there is a good chance he'd say no even if you hired a lawyer or two to make sure that the paperwork is okay.

>>47395 >Wee bit of a problem is that swords there seem to be more strictly regulated than guns in Europe, Japan's weird with it's ancient anti Samurai laws that I think it's easier to own an actual gun there funnily enough, well easy for that nations standards anyway but citizens there are able to own 22 rifles and shotguns if they go through a mountain of paper work from what I understand. A lot of Browning's shotguns such as their Citori are actually made there. Well that's a shame but I guess if I really REALLY wanted a Nippon katana I could just buy a plane ticket for a blacksmith to come to the US and make a wakizashi style katana me here, maybe three katanas since I'd already go through all the hassle that way I have two more as gifts for my brothers. I guess I'll consider that option.

>>47394 >I wanna know if a proper Nippon sword is even an option or unobtainium While they are technically obtainable if you're willing to pay a fortune, they are borderline unobtainium due to weird Japanese laws. Japanese blacksmiths are by law only allowed to make a certain number of 'sharp' blades a year, and it's some absurdly low number like 500. This includes any form of blade ranging from Katana to kitchen knives. Considering that 'traditional artisan knives' are actually a huge thing in the Japanese restaurant business that the chefs are willing to pay a lot of money for, you can imagine where 99.9% of their limited allowances are going to go. ...And relocating the blacksmith to the US is not even remotely an option if you want a traditional katana, since you'd have to move his entire smithy and convince the blacksmith to immigrate. It doesn't matter where the blade is made, what matters is his citizenship. That's why most katana on the market are made by gaijin, the best of them go to Japan and have traditional blacksmiths teach them how to make the swords. This is legal because the gaijin are not bound by that limit and technically speaking the blacksmiths themselves aren't actually making the blades.

>>47405 Well if you have the financial wherewithall to conduct such a contract, then why not just hire a buyer to find you an authentic Nipponese katana, probably even a relic, by other means? Simpler & cheaper, I'd say. >sage b/c OP

Where should I hide the drill or any power tools? Tools are going to be picked up by dad and put in the work truck so when I need it. Should I permanently scratch my name on the tools I buy so I dad won't steal it when I am working? I can't find the drill and I know it has been "borrowed" because the charger is also gone.

>>47426 In the boot of your car if you have one. If you are poor or underage and living with your dad then it will be hard to protect your tools without confronting him about it. This is the best way to solve the issue though, rather being a passive-aggressive woman about it and hiding things from him which are rightfully yours anyway. I know dads can be assholes with their sense of entitlement but treat it as a step towards manhood. He might even start to respect you if you can discuss this with him in a calm but assertive manner.

>>47382 >>47383 >>47394 The answer is no. Russia has the Dead Hand/Perimeter so if they get a decapitation strike the system will Macross fire every single ICBM into NATO territory until the silos are empty and there won't be anyone to turn them off.

>>47455 >what is second strike capability >fire every single ICBM into NATO leaving you defenseless to chinks Nu-/k/ needs to die

>>47394 I think this place has the real deal. https://www.higotora.com/ >>47456 It's a 'fail deadly'. It's only is suppose to activate in the event of a complete decapitation strike to ensure second strike capability.

>>47455 >>47457 This >>47456 Dr. Strangelove is a good movie anon but that's not exactly how nuclear Armageddon would play out IRL entirely. That does make me wonder what Russia's war plan is if they survive nuclear exchange even if just barely only to have the PLA start annexing land for the LOLz. Obviously they've thought about it but we'll never no the details since currently Russia needs cheaply manufactured tanks and China needs cheap Russian oil and natural gas. >>47457 >I think this place has the real deal. Neat thanks anon, I'll check it out.

>>47382 Define "win." If you mean subjugating the other country, America "wins" by default if they nuke pretty much any nuclear-armed nation on earth because they just have that many more of them. The cost of starting one would be reducing the number of digits on America's population count from 9 down to the lower end of 8 and greenlighting the use of nuclear weapons by basically every currently unarmed nation on earth who can afford the basic facilities (almost all of them including the African ones) and can obtain ore (most of them). >>47394 >Katana They are limited and registered in a database in Japan so short of being a billionaire or a politician they don't leave the country and show up for auction even less. You'd be best off looking in Poland since they have good swordsmiths who are affordable on online shops.

>>47462 >would be reducing the number of digits on America's population count from 9 down to the lower end of 8 >this is your mind on ostrich There is no """limited""" nuclear exchange. Either it remains no more than a handful of very small tactical explosions (and why would you, when FOAB/MOAB are a thing), or it's utter destruction of humanity. There's no in-between, Strelok, despite what (((they))) tell you to think.

>>47464 {=?"They"ۦ& are living rent-free in your head. Even if every country on earth fired their entire arsenal at America there are not enough nukes to reduce the population much below 10 million and the agricultural land will remain largely unaffected by the nuclear exchange. There will still be about a hundred million Americans immediately alive afterwards, and 8-20 million Americans alive still in 2-3 years time. Nuclear armageddon is a meme. The immediate damage is high, but the radiation is virtually harmless after 1-6 months depending on geological/climate factors unless you build your house directly on top of a blast site.

>>47465 >and the agricultural land will remain largely unaffected by the nuclear exchange >what is wind You have to go back

>>47468 >He fell for the fallout meme Don't you have a twatter feed to post on? Fallout is the big lie by government to scare you into thinking they can't have a nuclear exchange for humanitarian reasons. The truth is, as I said above, fallout clears out within about two weeks (at most) to less-than-lethal levels with one good rainstorm reducing it in hours/days, and within three months to cancer-by-50 levels. Plants are largely unaffected by fallout unlike animals. It's not my fault you fell for the corporatist meme meant to keep the powers-that-be in power.

>>47469 hello yes where are the proofs

>>47470 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_decay Barium, caesium, cerium, and strontium represents the vast majority of byproducts that are of immediate concern and they all have half-lives of hours, weeks, or months. The atomic weight of nuclear isotopes means they quickly fall out of the air and the vast majority get washed away by the rain. The two main forms of decay are alpha (virtually harmless just wash your clothes and don't eat them) and beta (largely harmless after the first few months just wear disposable clothing outdoors). My proofs are common fucking sense if you know anything about chemistry/physics.

And for anon's sake, I'm not saying radiation isn't dangerous, I'm saying if you stay indoors for about 2-6 weeks and then wear a simple respirator (like those used for painting or construction) and wear disposable clothing, your chances of getting anything more severe than mild radiation sickness and cancer at 40/50 is slim to none. If you live close enough to a blast zone that your windows get blown out, then you probably have more immediate concerns with things like food shortages (from supply transit breakdown) causing riots or injury to your person from the blast rather than radiation itself.

>ITT: Radiation don't real! If you're lucky you'll live the initial blast. After a few days you'll wish you had caught that second wave. After a few weeks, you be writing as your gut ceases to function. In 90 days, you'll be a rotting like all the rest. That's if you're """lucky""". Antarctica? Maybe. Pretty much anywere else but maybe the middle of the open ocean? Strelok, I...

>>47475 Radiation don't real the way they taught you in propaganda classes, boomer. Fukushima and Nagasaki are doing just fine. Chernobyl had people farming prior to the war for god's sake. You can grow carrots im irradiated ground and they won't give you cancer. Radiation is a first world concern for countries not at war, and if you have to worry about it you probably have bigger issues. The primary threat of nuclear war is the immediate collapse of supply lines resulting in the equivalent population loss of every metropolitan area getting shelled with artillery in conventional warfare from starvation, disease, and the breakdown of society, not from nuclear radiation. You either live far enough away from the cities that radiation isn't a concern after one or two rainstorms, or you have bigger and more immediate concerns than your geiger counter ticking like mad.

>>47472 >what is Iodine 131 >what is gamma radiation Not gonna make it.

>>47376 >what is Iodine 131 The most easily counteracted isotope of them all with a half life of a week rendering it nearly harmless with precautions after about 14-20 days. >what is gamma radiation Something mainland US residents get 7-15x the dosage of Nagasaki from due to solar exposure and a meme outside of lasers and gamma-producing death meme cores NEXT!

>>47483 >The most easily counteracted isotope Yes *if* precautions are timely. It's also arguably one of the most harmful because the body confuses it for an essential element and puts it in the wrong places. >gamma radiation >7-15x the dosage of Nagasaki from due to solar exposure Gonna have to call for a source on them numbers. Assuming we're both on the same planet, the cosmic radiation in general (including the sun) is less than what we're getting from gorund/rocks and shit. I'm debating if it's worth bringing up radon here...

>>47376 A nigger and a kike pillow

If someone had the bright idea to post an invitation to your ArmA group in somewhere like crystal.cafe or lolcow.farm for a joke, what's the best thing to do to weather the shitstorm?

>>47552 I've never played, but can't you kick people out or stop accepting new members?

>>47525 >A nigger and a kike pillow Yes and a survivor militia man of the Ruby Ridge cluster fuck that happened all because some government firm wanted to sell the land to some Chinese shell corporation and justified the whole thing because of muh turtles and now it's a solar panel farm ya know since uninhabited land is just so uncommon in Eastern California and Nevada. Speaking of which anyone here have that webm of him shooting watermelons to save his kike gun pillow? Used to be on Jewtube but I guess Alphabet inc decided to delete it because they hate fun I guess.

>>47525 >He doesn't own a nigger and kike pillow Never gonna make it.

>>47525 tripfag worship is probably the faggiest thing in this world

>>47393 Why is it that 90% of the Hooni posters I see or interact with are mentally ill faggots and huge attention whores? Not saying your one of them after all you could be the 1% for all I know but in my personal experience that's generally the norm.

>>47773 Birds of a feather, Stre-chan. You should see the fandom from the inside, it's fuckin psychotic. Hardly surprising given the subject matter.

What would you say is the most efficient training program to turn dumb conscripts into competent soldiers? This is something that I've always been wondering, but lately with the Ukrainians being trained by NATO armies (brits in particular) it reawakened my interest tenfold. How do you take someone who a day ago probably didn't even know how to operate a break action shotgun and turn him into a man who operates proficiently under extreme stress? And roughly how long would the training program take? You don't have the time to spend years on these conscripts, they need to be shipped to the front line asap. Image unrelated

how quiet would 22lr be out of a 28 inch barrel? I know its not gonna be super duper quiet but at that point isnt the barrel slowing the bullet down significantly due to excessive length?

>>48056 Quantity is a quality of its own after a certain point. The goal should always be "how to dumb down your equipment" rather than how to smarten your forces. Because smarter troops is a losing proposition. Presumably if you don't have time to train them, about a week of drilling in basic military exercises and commands followed by a week of "live fire" exercises building a trench and surviving indirect artillery barrages is about the best you can hope for. Even then you aren't training the competent you are filtering the retards who die during training who would have died first if you had just shipped them directly anyways. If they survive a few weeks/months promote them and give them additional training then.

This question has made me want to ask a question as well to see what you anons come up with, let's say your in charge of disrupting uniforms while your country's already being invading or you have to cloth a rebel/separatist army with pennies. How would you go about doing that? Sure you can repair and modify captured enemy uniforms but that's a luxury that can't be afforded to everyone in this case. >>48056 This >>48122 There's a reason some military's don't even bother giving their grunts/conscripts full auto rifles and opt for burst fire instead since they'd just panic and blow their load to quickly at nothing anyway, full auto funs are then reserved for those with half a functional brain. If you can afford decent optics + specialized mounts to slap on to your old surplus FAL's or AK's then it's best to go for a simple fixed magnification optics especially if your in charge of leading a conscript army of third world village niggers who believe turning said optics to full magnification will somehow make the boolets go faster and further or make them more powerful, that's exactly what a lot of Communist guerrilla's fighting the former state of Rhodesia thought would happen. And of course much like rifles the same logic applies to optics, if the individual can prove they aren't totally incompetent retards then they deserve nicer optics if you've got some laying around. You'll also want to deprogram their perceptions of war through the lens of Hollywood movies too as in teach them to stay low and not expose their entire body thinking they're some bad ass Rambo who will reveal your position and get their head blown off or worse survive and be even more of a burden. Lastly I find it fascinating just how many soldiers can't shoot pistols for shit so if it was an option I'd opt to just equip them with a 9mm revolver like a Taurus 905 or perhaps even below that and settle for giving them wheel gats chambered in 22 WMR such as a Ruger LCR. If they can't even handle that then they don't deserve a handgun period, at that point I'd rather such a tard use a taser or pepper spray as their secondary so he doesn't end up shooting himself via drawing from the holster or through a ricochet. I find how Kikeistan in particular trains their conscripts as apposed to their professional units to be quite interesting actually, of course since they're a first world nation and get Six Gorlillon gibs from Uncle Sam yearly they can afford to be more flexible and even design some tard resistant guns such as the Tavor. They manage to make even useless neet manchildren who have to wear adult diapers into effective enough cannon fodder army. Of course this is all hypothetical and really depends on what gear you actually have available to you as well as your country's over all wealth, standard of education, how masculine or effeminate it is, and how much time you actually have to train said conscripts before sending them off to be cannon fodder. Frankly so long as your not doing anything that India or Saudi Arabia would do in order to ready their conscripts for combat you'll probably be fine and save yourself the embarrassment of losing to an even poorer nations army or rag tag militia. >>47777 >Birds of a feather >You should see the fandom from the inside, it's fuckin psychotic. Well I've seen plenty of third party fan made porn unvoluntarily so I'll just take your word for it.

>>48120 I have an old .22lr single shot rifle with a barrel slightly shorter than that (it's like 25 inches iirc) and the rounds sound like someone on a distant construction site hitting something metallic with a small hammer, so it's not that loud at all.

Would dry ice and acetone be a better solution for a bomb than water and dry ice since the acetone would then spray out at extremely low temperatures causing acute frostbite? Is there a secondary chamber that could be activated by the building up pressure crushing, say a paper cartridge full of some chemical that reacts with acetone, to produce chemical burns or worse? Thinking of civilian weapons to target politicians and police with in the future when the gasoline/food famines start.

>>48240 Why go through all that when ammonium nitrate fertilizers are plentiful, cheap and come with plausible deniability? Or,if you're really from Sweden,you can always ask your friendly Somalian neighbor for a hand grenade or two.

>>48128 >I'll just take your word for it. probably for the best desu >em ef dubya lurkan hooni threads

>>48120 I've shot an old Winchester .22lr with a similar length barrel. It's just barely loud enough to damage your hearing but it sounds like it's suppressed compared to a Ruger 22/45 MK III Hunter with a 4.5 inch barrel.

>>48120 Are you this anon from the previous thread? >>40702 Anyway should be quiet enough to get away with just wearing light foam ear plugs but I wouldn't go bare unless you plan on pairing it with a suppressor, much like how when using a shop vacuum you should have hearing protection. Sure you won't go deaf immediately but if done enough it will be a death by a thousand paper cuts, your ears will thank you. There's also some light sub sonic twenty twos that are pretty quiet on their own even without suppression as well but I'm not sure what their penetration power would be, probably pretty low I'd guess but I am partially just talking out of my ass at this point. Also didn't a US state recently make it legal to obtain a suppressor without a ATF cuck stamp? I forget which one it was.

>>48472 no that isnt me, im looking at getting a CZ 457 Jaguar eventually, thats why I was asking. I want it for fun + obliterating the raccoons in my backyard since they keep pooping in it and its a pain to keep cleaning up. I live in the suburbs though so I want to be as polite as possible. Ive got an RC2 can that i was hesitant to use on a 22 lest it get fouled up with poopoo carbon from dirty 22 rounds, but I think sticking it on the end of a 28" barrel will alleviate most of those issues and itll stay clean. That Mosin trainer looks cool though, I remember finding an old surplus one on membroker that I almost bought that was a single shot trainer from like poland or some random country

>>48474 >no that isnt me Oh >im looking at getting a CZ 457 Jaguar eventually Excellent choice >Ive got an RC2 can that i was hesitant to use on a 22 lest it get fouled up with poopoo carbon from dirty 22 rounds Are those particularly hard to clean compared to other cans? >That Mosin trainer looks cool though, I remember finding an old surplus one on membroker that I almost bought that was a single shot trainer from like poland or some random country Neat, the one I posted is a Keystone sporting arms cricket rifle. I'm thinking of getting something like that for my niece as a Christmas present come next December. (YES LURKING FEDERAL AGENTS I DO INTEND TO LEGALLY TRANSFER OWNERSHIP OF SAID DEVASTATING SINGLE SHOT TWENTY TWO RIFLE THROUGH A LICENSED FFL TO THE PARENTS/MY SISTER AND HER HUSBAND SO IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO SHOOT MY DOGS, THANK YOU.)

What the fuck is that handguard? Is it a real thing or did the artist have weed for salad?

>>48498 >Are those particularly hard to clean compared to other cans? not necessarily but they certainly arent easier to clean. It doesnt come apart of anything >I'm thinking of getting something like that for my niece as a Christmas present come next December. its a neat little rifle for a kid. If you teach them to be safe with it, it would be really fun for a little boy to run around with

>>48559 It's AI-generated, Strelok. I assume that answers your question.

What is the best kind of 12-gauge snap-cap? I've been hearing that a-zoom's stuff have problems with aluminum shavings getting left in the gun.

>>48575 It's from an old Stalker book called "The Secret Poltergeist" that was released in 2010, it's not image generated. https://www.libking.ru/books/sf-/sf-cyberpunk/199432-7-sergey-nedorub-tayna-poltergeysta.html

>>48612 OK, fair enough I'll recant. I certainly matches the modern MO however.

3d printed Glock 19 issue. The rails don't quite line up. If I run a straight edge held flush with the left rear rail there is a small gap (maybe 1.5mm at the widest point) between straight edge and front left rail. It that normal for 3d printed Glocks? The tutorial doesn't mention it, and the slide goes on and moves with a few minor adjustments. I don't have mags for it and haven't fired it yet. I printed multiple Glocks and it's the same problem on all of them so it's probably the cheap rails I bought.

>>48559 I thought it was just a part of his glove.

Speaking printed Glocks, is ABS usable?

>>48653 I heard won't work for a receiver. I made mine out of PLA+. I'm a beginner so I started with the easy to print filament.

Has anyone tried the Sub2000? I'm thinking of picking one up.

>>48685 Yes I definitely want one of those.

>>48685 They're neat, the sights aren't all that great, and I found it to be slightly heavier then expected; I recall it being front heavy. The latch mechanism isn't super quick to operate but it's secure. But it's still well made and I found it to be reliable. It's been a while since I've shot one and I don't remember what the trigger is like but it's good, particularly if you already have mags for it.

Thoughts on Liberty safes and vault doors? I'm considering getting one.

>>48275 How much does a 6.88 near seven inch barrel make out of one of those? I'd imagine the difference is barely noticeable if at all. I ask because I've been eye balling one of these for a while now since I currently don't own any 22lr handguns yet. >>48685 >I'm thinking of picking one up. Ask your self these questions anon, do you really need a PCC? Do you intend to carry it around in a backpack? Do you just want it as a fun quirky range toy or is over penetration through walls a serious consideration for where you live? Do you already have a lot of surplus Glock mags laying around? If most of your answers are a yes then sure, I'm a bit skeptical of Kel-tecs other products but haven't heard anything bad about Sub2000's aside from stories about a few lemons which can happen with any manufacturer. Sure, get yourself a Floridian special forces gator blaster. >>48706 >Thoughts on Liberty safes and vault doors? I'm considering getting one. Well as far as I'm aware of their only real competition is Sturdysafe and Fortnox safes and for what they are I'd say they're priced well. Not that I'm an expert on these things though, my safe is just a cheap Chinesium piece of shit that could probably be broken open with a crowbar to be quite honest but it's enough to keep the kids out plus I live in pretty quite safe neighborhood so burglaries aren't a big concern of mine. Those vault doors are pretty neat though, I'm half tempted get one and turn my basement into a sudo fortress thing now and if not for the current geopolitics going on around the world I'd probably just make my family think I've gone crazy so I might actually be able to get away with it.

>>48731 High velocity .22LR will ring your ears at twice that barrel length. A longer barrel is not hearing protection, it just isn't as bad. Whatever barrel length you want, those older target models with adjustable sights are quality pistols. The only real complaint I have is the retarded take down and reassembly procedure. They fixed that on the newest models but I haven't handled one myself.

>>47382 Do nukes real to begin with tho??

How do I harden my home against EMP strikes and solar flares with a minimal budget or at the very least preserve my backups? I don't wanna lose my movies, vidya, and anime.

>>47382 If America launched land-based ICBMs it would take about 30 minutes for them to reach European Russia where the majority of their population lies. That is more than enough time for virtually any country with functioning scientists/engineers (all the nuclear-armed ones) to be able to figure out whodunnit and retaliate. Countries like Russia have the capability to detect if the US is launching nukes before the official command to fire is ever given because electronics warfare and missile warfare are their specialties. Similarly the Americans and Chinese likely possess this capability as do the Australians, Japanese, French, etc. Possibly even the Indians and Brazilians for that matter. At most if America launched everything they had in reserve for that particular country with the ones for the other countries at the ready on standby and secretly told their allies in advance without anyone squealing, they might just be able to turn it into a limited exchange, but at the end of the day if all of your major cities and industrial centers are still destroyed anyways, whether you saved a few supplementary targets or not seems like a Pyrrhic victory. >>48845 1) Buy CE marking electronics that you want to protect because they (the Europeans) have a guaranteed Volt-meter field test ensuring they can survive a certain amount of fuckery, unlike American electronics which have no such requirements. At bare minimum ensure that your electronics you wish to protect have an Underwriters Laboratories label for peace of mind. 2) Wrap your electronics in two or three layers of aluminum broiler trays (about 10+ layers of regular foil) to achieve 85% effectiveness against a nuclear-grade EMP 3) For a proper 98% effectiveness, wrap the objects in bronze/copper knitting or honestly even stainless steel knitting, and then surround it with some kind of flat copper surface to absorb/reflect the initial fuckery that will hit it. For an entire house I don't know what to tell you, but there is no cheap way to do a whole home. A box sure, maybe even a closet at a price, but the only faraday cage building that I know about is that chainmail house in Scotland. Video related.

Buy ammo, shoot it, and load the brass, or just spend the same money on empty brass?

>>48862 It's worth fixing/reloading brass for the experience factor in case you ever need to, but until you need to, buying new brass is better since you can always come back and sweep later. Find a balance?

>>48863 Well I like milsurp so the idea is to use the brass as long as possible.

>>48855 >without anyone squealing, See, there's where it all falls apart. One man can keep a secret, but two. Press X to doubt.

What is a good type of ammunition for a Savage 64F .22? I've seen some remmington thunderbolt packs that have some 500 rounds a pop so I was wondering if that kind of stuff is alright for the 64. I understand it's a very cheap plinker, probably the cheapest you can get for a semi-auto LR. But I still think it's important to get the best bang for your buck.

>>48862 >Buy ammo Always a good idea, what caliber? I hear reloading 45lc is supposed to be pretty easy to learn on.

>>48957 Hopefully things have changed in the last year, but the last bulk rimfire I bought and shot was awful. For my money, I'm only buying CCI Minimags or Standard Velocity. Blazer used to be ok too but I can't find it locally I've stopped buying gun and ammo shit online or using cards

>>48998 Yeah, I've heard that the remingtons are pretty greasy. I don't think they have a jacket. I mean, when you don't have a lot, ammo is still ammo, but I would like to avoid gunking up my action if I can. I'm still trying to figure out what grains mean and which ones best for which one. I know that its not the best idea, but if there's a good online deal I'm compelled to take it

Why did Deterrence Dispensed remove their .onion are they retarded? You would think they would have one just in case their shit gets taken down?

Some of the beans were under-cooked and now I can't stop burping. What is the best way to calm your stomach down. Not farting or having diarrhea just constantly burping

>>49060 my question is what should I drink to calm my stomach down?

>>49059 Is he okay?

>>49059 What's with that weird snorting noise?

>>49060 Soak your beans overnight with about a tablespoon or so of vinegar (or more to taste) per cup of beans and if available, a piece of kombu (thick cooking kelp) to eliminate to eliminate indigestible sugars. I usually use about half a cup (about 250ml) of apple cider vinegar or malt vinegar, and a 5cmx5cm (about 2inx2in) piece of konbu per cup of beans, and soak for about 18 hours starting the water breddy hot. >>49061 Alpha-galactosidase (α-GAL) is an OTC "medication" that eliminates gassiness. It's like the lactaid of beans. You can buy it as generic "vegetable enzyme" or bean pun brands and it can generally be found in online fronts too. As for a more immediate solution, eat yogurt or drink some kind of probiotic/enzyme drink, then drink about a liter or two of water slowly/gradually over the course of an hour. If you've got some cotton balls or fiber supplement, feel free to swallow those to help speed up recovery from gassiness later before drinking the water. t. Advice I remember from /fit/ back in the day.

Oh right that is basically the trick to passing a drug test too. Just multiply the dosage by ten and do it for two weeks straight.

>>49064 Too much "stuff"

>>48855 >Buy CE marking electronics that you want to protect because they (the Europeans) have a guaranteed Volt-meter field test ensuring they can survive a certain amount of fuckery I'll look into that. >2) Wrap your electronics in two or three layers of aluminum broiler trays (about 10+ layers of regular foil) to achieve 85% effectiveness against a nuclear-grade EMP That's all I need to protect an external HHD and a few flash drives? Nice. Thanks anon

>>49086 >That's all I need to protect an external HHD and a few flash drives? The engineering is slightly more complicated because you are guarding against three different forms of radiation (heat, photon, and radioactive particles). Aluminum exhibits "good but not perfect" qualities in neutralizing/dissipating each of these which should already have been reduced. So long as you don't leave such an aluminum box in direct sunlight, a nuke far enough away not to vaporize your skin will feel something like a "hot sunny day in direct sunlight on a metal surface" for about two hours for your foil'd devices' internal electronics from the particles that do get through the aluminum. Hence "about 85%" success rate assuming fairly new/unused electronics.

What is the point in holding the gun sideways?

>>49165 Rotates your optic out of your line of site for point shooting in close quarters.

>>49165 Maybe he's got an off set red dot behind that big scope? Basically a Goldilocks solution for long range and CQB shooting that is less of a meme compared to the other options for having multiple optics. Well I tried piggy backs once and didn't like them anyway.

>>49171 What was the tranny shooting at?

>>49195 christians, they won't tell us what is in the manifesto for exactly that reason THOUGH

>>49195 Christian children.

>>48685 >confirmed tranny posted here > inb4 anon.cafe is banned

Why were the shooter's shoes trans too? Why are all discussions about the shooter's shoes being different being scrubbed from the internet?

>>49202 shoephobia

>>49202 from where?

>>49195 Apparently they ARE no going to release the manifesto. Probably because they have to or people will start making up things that might be even more damning than what was actually in it.

>>49233 *now going

>>49088 >Hence "about 85%" success rate assuming fairly new/unused electronics. The survivability of substrate transistors like microchips isn't dependent on 'newness'. Rather it's dependent on being OG, clunky AF blobs of silicon & dopants that can withstand millions of particle 'boollits' and still keep on ticking. This is why space probes from JPL and others use ancient, old tech by today's standards, and clocking over at a snail's-pace, b/c this is what survives in the hard-radiation environment of deep space.

Follow up to the Sub-2000 question, has anyone tried the new S&W FPC? How does it compare to the Sub2k?

>>49239 Yes, but new electronics are using new silicon bouillon inside of them that hasn't had space particles bombarding it for months/years causing minor damage already. RAM isn't a good comparison because crypto-miners keep their operations inside windowless controlled environments, but generally most used computer parts, even non-moving ones, are worse-for-wear between solar exposure (space particles) and general heat stress. There's a reason UV light is used to "wipe" old programmable chips.
