this is a grievous misuse of power, its not like they are large capacity weapons, they are 70 goddamned years old

They'd be huge and strapped to tanks. You'd get two kinds, anti-infantry ones that are long and thin and spin like helicopter blades, then huge fat anti-tank ones used to ram into enemy tanks.

I don't know but this one looks awesome.

Urban warfare would favor smaller, nimbler blades made for thrusting, mirroring the direction that dueling and gentleman's weapons actually did historically take. In theory a ceramic core surrounded by carbon fiber would make for something resilient and light yet able to keep an edge and on top of that avoid metal detectors.

Cavalry sabre levels of fucking shit up would moreso evolve into what amount to efficient chainsaws. The idea is something capable of decapitation even when you don't have the extra momentum of being on a horse.

>>18129
Did you even google? Carbon fiber composite may be shit-tier blademaking material, but it's been done before.
http://www.tactical-life.com/magazines/guns-and-weapons/escort-carbon-fiber-daggers/
Also, I'm aware Wilson Combat made carbon fiber knives at one point.

Adding a ceramic core wouldn't improve it that much. It would at least hold an edge, but that edge would be far too prone to chipping compared to steel for any serious consideration.

>>18132
iirc the British commandos in WWII who used the sykes-fairbairn dagger would purposely dull the edges of that knife. A razor edge was prone to getting embedded in bone while a duller edge would bounce off and continue stab deeper into vital structures.

i'll see your drawing and raise you a machinist's blueprint for the barrel

>>18072


I think that's the dumbest thing I've ever seen on this board. Shove a pencil down the barrel? Either you're a complete retard, or you're trolling.

>>18074
Try it yourself. The impact of the pin will make it move if it's in contact with the rear of the chamber.

Oh wait, nogunz.

>>18075

I don't think he realizes that in something like a 9mm the pencil doesn't need to be "shoved" down the barrel. The width of the barrel is much greater than the width of the pencil.

>>18081

Truth. The pencil trick works well to check the firing pin.

actuaally we used to do this in the military with 1911's and a cardboard box the 1911 would fire the pencil out hard enough to sick in the cardboard 10 feet away helps with trigger control

Brass? What's brass used for?

I get lead from a guy whose name is, I shit you not, Bubba. He sells it in big buckets.

I get the primer caps on the internet, and the powder from a local store. I could get bullets and powder from that store, but I prefer to cast my own bullets and the powder is cheaper online.

>>17888
Brass cases, for some of the more exotic rounds when I can't find cheap factory ammo.

>>17788
bullets all come from either moss pawn or local ass i mean bass pro
primers all from moss pawn
powder from bass pro
brass is all the shit i reuse after shooting ie buy privi partizan shot and use its brass

>tfw i am lucky enough to live within shopping distance of mosspawn
rey is coolest guy there btw

>>17914
What part of GA you in bro?

I will go in between Moss Pawn and Franklins(Athens).

Also pretty much the same as you. I make biannual trips to Moss Pawn for primers and powder. Get up to Franklins way more though, they are actually just now going out of stock for shit int eh reloading department. The funny thing is while I have been able to get all the primers and powder I could ever need I cannot get brass anywhere. I also do case conversions so pretty much 30-06 or 270 will work for most large non magnum rifle calibers that are common. Also cast too so fuck jwords.

Damn shame I can't ever find Privi since I have modified shell holders since that eurobrass does fit right in shell holders too. Rey is also definitely cool. Barry mostly acts like an ass when I meet him and Mr. Moss himself is pretty cool and gave me some free calenders and a free mag last Christmas.

Glad to see 45 brass back in stock at midway along with ammo in most shops for everything but .22 now. Sucks that reloaders are the bottom of the food chain when it comes to getting shit back stocked.

You could say I reload...

I reuse brass from S&B and Highland rounds, get ADI powders from my LGS or my range when they're doing a deal, primers from my LGS and a guy at my range does good castings that he sells in bulk for cheap.

I blame rickb for the collapse of the soviet union.

Yes, does that change things for you? i am not too familiar with real firearms.

Neigh the fact that I probably have no fucking clue about the use of a real combustion rifle or pistol, I don't think it really matters if the weapon can put an opponent out of the fight. I am having a bitch of a time deciding whether to go all the way and go through all the training and permits to own a firearm, or just put a shot in an intruders neck with this weapon. I have since ordered a .20 air pistol that is co2 powered through a trusted brand's website. I'll post pics when it arrives in a week or two.

>>18054

I understand your country is an oppressive police state. What I was getting at, frustratingly, is that a 10 grain .20 pellet will be ineffective in just about 99.99% of circumstances. Punching an attack in the mouth would provide far better results than even a well placed .20 pellet to the neck.

Americans like things big for a reason. That's why we invented the .45 ACP, the .40 S&W, 10mm and so on. Size DOES matter.

Honestly, you should just buy a knife (unless those are illegal too), or perhaps a kubaton, and study a fighting art. Or better yet, move to America (or Switzerland).

>>18056
Or the Czech Republic.

>>18056
Modern calibers all have about the same terminal ballistics. Just the trauma area differs between the rounds, but all of them can puncture through 12" of flesh.

>>18077

Leaving aside that you're completely wrong, you're also ignoring the fact that puncturing flesh doesn't matter worth a shit if there's not enough kinetic energy being transferred to the target to create a shockwave that damages the surrounding area. Do you think you can shoot well enough to reliably hit the jugular artery or brain stem with this stupid thing? If not, it's a waste of time, and if so, you're even more of an idiot than I thought.

>>18031

Still didn't answer his question. A baton is a stick. what shit state doesn't allow you to carry a stick?

>>18047

Apparently most of them. Checking into it, there are nebulous laws which could or could not apply to whip baton even in my port, and you can get a CC here for like 70 bux and a handshake.

(Seriously. You can take a CC test over the internet and get your cert express mailed to you in a day. It makes me proud in my deepest cockles.)

AFICT, it's one of those things that a cop can hassle you about if they want to hassle you. You know, like basically everything else.

Meanwhile, I can carry around a straight blade up to 24 inches long as long as it's only sharpened on one side. So, yeah, I've got a machete hidden in my backpack ready for quick access, and it's perfectly legal. It turns out that the only knife law on the books just covers dirks and daggers and defines them as double edged.

>>18047
Actually I did answer his question. I said I was unsure whether a straight baton/stick was illegal, but I KNOW that whip batons are illegal. Interestingly, a straight baton may or may not be illegal, but I can carry a hardwood cane, or I just saw a polypropylene cane with a mace-head grip, that is perfectly legal to carry. LOL There are loopholes if you're willing to look for them.

I know that "leaded canes" and "billy clubs" are the only sticks in CA that are specifically illegal. So I'm certain that, according to CA law, "whip batons" are never mentioned. But I'm also certain that as cops see it "billy club" means everything from a newly-fallen branch to a collapsible metal baton.
http://ag.ca.gov/firearms/dwcl/dwc.pdf

But did we really need to specifically mention fucking lipstick knives? Who in the fuck has ever even had a ballistic knife except for the Punisher? Yeah, that belt buckle knife epidemic of '96 was terrible, wasn't it? And the shobi-zue massacres of '02? Grisly.

>polypropylene cane with a mace-head grip
They might call that a leaded cane, but the law does specifically say that "a "leaded cane" means a staff, crutch, stick, rod, pole, or similar device, unnaturally weighted with lead". So if it's not lead you are possibly ok in CA.

Wait... what kind of weirdo wants to bring a sword with them everywhere? Thats akin to being one of those shit heads who doesn't leave home without his AR15 because he wants to "educate and ease peoples fears about guns" while walking around with a high powered machine designed only for killing.

>>18063

I think you're lost, my friend.

SAGE has been used.

>>18063
The point of the article wasn't the swords, my short bus friend. The point was that they recognized that the original intent of the 2nd amendment had to have allowed for bladed weaponry as that was equally common at the time of its writing. The fact that that would ALSO include swords was interesting, but incidental.

Either don't put yourself in a situation where someone want to brain you from behind or were a helmet everywhere you go.

Never be out alone. Alternatively, always walk at a brisk pace, give corners and alleys a wide berth, and don't wear headphones. If you're walking quickly enough anyone catching up to you from behind should have to make quite a bit of noise to get in range, thus the lack of headphones.

However, all the advice in the world will do you no good without constant situational awareness. Here's a nice guide to the basics, but practicing it is up to you. http://www.stratfor.com/weekly/practical-guide-situational-awareness

Nice Garand. Service grade?

Nah. Just a cheap CAI remanufacture. I won't feel bad dragging it through the dirt and mud while durr hunting.

I'm very curious as to how well a CAI Garand shoots. Please review for us.

>>18029

I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet. The weather has been shitty and the local indoor range doesn't allow rifles.

I did get a Ruger SR22 last week that I have been shooting the shit out of. I am very happy with it. It has helped improve my pistol shooting tremendously.

Kyokushin is kind of the only brand of karate that I know of that's on par with modern full contact standards. Ke(n/m)po styles have always come across as seedy to me but hey, I haven't seen every style out there.

Do you mean:
.22 Remington special,
.22 Remington jet,
.221 Remington Fireball,
.222 Remington,
.222 Remington Magnum,
.223 Remington, or
.22-250 Remington?

Just .223 remmington

Here's the SAAMI specs on cartridge and chamber dimensions. http://www.saami.org/PubResources/CC_Drawings/Rifle/223%20Remington.pdf

Instead of buying reamers, it would be easier to just rent one if you're only cutting one or two chambers.

Why not go with bird shot?

At close range its gunna do the job and it wont go through walls like your larger game shells.

>>17870
Birdshot should not be considered for home defense. It lacks the necessary penetration to reliably stop a threat. If it won't bunch through dry wall it might not punch through a thick leather best or winter coat either.

Floating around the Internet is a video interview of some kid that was shot multiple times at point blank with bird shot. Obviously, he survived. You could make the argument that shooting him/her in the face would render the assailant blind or whatever the fuck. However, you simply will not be able to this if the adrenaline starts pumping. Center mass every time, using something that can penetrate to vital organs consistently.

There's a few shotguns out there with a 8+1 capacity. That's more than what a standard 1911 will hold. If you need more than 9 shots to stop a perp or a group of perps, you may want to reconsider your ownership of a shotgun. We aren't talking Call of Duty, bum rush the capture point type of shit here. We're talking legitimate, "I am going to break in because there should be no threat waiting to stop me". Usually when they hear you chamber rounds, they stop.
If you are that worried about low capacity/high recoil, there are also semi-auto shotguns out there and AR type shotguns (full buttstock, magazines, and all). The first one doesn't satisfy your "low capacity" argument, but the AR styled shotgun does. You can easily swap magazines.
Honestly, it all boils down to personal preference and repetitive training. If you don't train with your home defense weapons, don't expect to be able to use them adequately in a high stress environment, such as those when people break into your home.

>>17915

It cannot bear enough repeating:

Home defense weapons are a deterrent. If someone breaking into your house sees you with a weapon, they're pretty likely to leave, and quickly.

If you own a weapon, you must train with it. Train seriously, and regularly. It is far more dangerous to own it and never learn how to use it than it is to not own a gun.

arm lock, wrist lock, less wrestling moves are elbow strike tu muscle or locked joint, punch in the throat, kick in the knee, kick to the ankle...ecc.. i hope i helped you..

Wrist lock. (it can be performed standing)

actually, in reality it's very hard to perform some wrestling move if the aggressor-victim is unwilling and stronger than you. You have to hit him first to make him "relax" for just a second to take out his strenght. Then you will be able to perform a lock or something else. If you could be a little more specific i think i can help you. sorry for my bad english.

Flying omo plata
http://youtu.be/s9QXH84l-NU

This is really easy to answer, there is none.

In wrestling, judo, BJJ, and all other serious grappling arts the 'best' technique is going to be determined by positioning/orientation, your skill/personal preferences, and your opponent's skill.

The common "high percentage" moves like RNC's and arm bars can easily be less useful than an uncommon technique like various 'suicide throws' or any move that is prefaced with "flying".

Just like there is no best punch or kick there is no best hold, choke, or throw; its all situational.
