You want a concealed carry weapon to have an "aesthetic" - why? Are you defending yourself against the fashion police?
BTW, if (god forbid) you ever do have to defend yourself, some George Soros prosecutor is going to show pictures of your weapon to the jury and suggest that you pimped it out because you were hoping to one day use it to kill an innocent person of color on their way to church. You have to know that's what's going to be said.
gayest post i've seen all day
guns are toys and are supposed to look cool, prosecutors tongue my anus
>guns are toys
yikes. Please stay far away from me with that attitude.
Guns are tools. They are purely functional objects. Their form follows their function.
Furthermore, they are deadly tools. If you start thinking of them as toys or fashion accessories, then you're not handling them with the respect that is required by a deadly tool. You're going to accidentally have a nice day or someone else.
>yikes
Reddit moment. Please frick off with that inane homosexualry, this is an aesthetics board. The first rule of gun safety is to have fun and I will unironically shoot you dead for being a redditor
>reddit finger
>1911 with hammer down
Almost funny
If you're being autistic about trigger discipline on an objectively safe gun, you are a redditor.
Second gayest post Iv seen all day
>If you start thinking of them as toys or fashion accessories, then you're not handling them with the respect that is required by a deadly tool
NTA, but I disagree with that statement. Plenty of toys are lethal: fancy RC models can cause major damage when they crash. Speedboats, race cars, motorcycles, ATVs, are crazy dangerous. So is the equipment used for hobby woodworking, welding, etc. The idea that a toy cannot be dangerous is fricking absurd.
But speaking of absurd, I do agree that it's dumb to pick your CCW to customize. Pick your CCW with purely practical intentions. If you want to customize a gun for a cool range toy or whatever then do that separately. I think that's especially true in this case since many of the common features on "cyberpunk" sort of style, like a blocky shape, big compensators, sharp corners, lots of little levers and switches, exposed wiring for a light or laser, etc, is all counterproductive for drawing from concealment. Making your lifesaving tool worse because it looks cool is just dumb. Carry something compact and easy to draw for your CCW. If you want to bling out a range toy then do so separately, and you can go wild with whatever you think is cool without it affecting your EDC.
Aesthetics and functionality are not mutually exclusive. Cyberpunk neomilitarism is all about flat, clean lines and minimalism. And black. And I want to want to carry it around every day
>Aesthetics and functionality are not mutually exclusive.
Not always, but in this case I think they are.
>Cyberpunk neomilitarism is all about flat, clean lines and minimalism
The OP pic you posted has tons of extraneous lines on it--the forward serrations on the slide and the little 3-dot thing next to them that got popular from manga artists drawing rivets back in the day. You've got the hooked front sight (terrible for drawing), the massive comp, serrations on the front of the trigger guard, not to mention the lines on the magazine extension don't match the grip. I think it looks damn cool, but it's not minimalist or clean. It even has the gold highlights on the takedown lever, the trigger, the slide release, etc. That's the opposite of minimalist: it's deliberate contrast to highlight the mechanical details of the gun. It has absolutely terrible carry ergonomics.
Now there are certainly other options you could go with that are both cyberpunk and carry friendly but they don't look much like OP. Picrel wouldn't be too bad, especially if you bobbed the hammer and replaced the rear sight with something that didn't stick out so much. Of course the grips could be improved any number of ways, machined black G10 would look pretty sick. Or transparent plastic for the blade-runner look.
Nitpicking, that is a full size handgun with suppressor height sights for use with a red dot. The serrations and such would not hinder carrying at all on a handgun actually designed for CC and minimalism doesn't preclude two tone items
>that is a full size handgun with suppressor height sights for use with a red dot.
Yeah. That's why it's a bad carry piece.
>The serrations and such would not hinder carrying at all on a handgun
No, but they're certainly not minimalist in design.
>minimalism doesn't preclude two tone items
Not necessarily, but it's certainly a step in the wrong direction. It's just another added detail, like the design of the serrations and the 3-dot design. The more details you add the farther away from minimal you get. And that gun has a lot of details, which is why it looks cyberpunk. I'm disagreeing with the notion that cyberpunk guns are minimalist in appearance.
>Yeah. That's why it's a bad carry piece.
Yeah that's why I posted it as an example of the aesthetic I want not necessarily as the one I want to carry you autistic boy
>No, but they're certainly not minimalist in design
not everything has to be 100% minimalist to feature minimalism in its design philosophy you autistic boy
>I'm disagreeing with the notion that cyberpunk guns are minimalist in appearance.
cyberpunk is not one aesthetic but a family of aesthetics
calm down, anon. breathe. it's OK.
You asked for our input and you got it. You don't get to argue about that. You can take my suggestions or ignore them, it's all up to you.
>its design philosophy
>but a family of aesthetics
Now you're moving the goalposts around so much you can't even decide if it's singular or plural. You do you. You don't have to justify or explain it to anyone else. Just understand that some of the design features in the photo you posted are:
a) nothing like the minimalism you claim to want
and
b) are poor choices for a carry gun
>our
*your, and I take umbrage with your input GUY
>Now you're moving the goalposts around so much you can't even decide if it's singular or plural.
what? elaborate on this. Cyberpunk is a family of aesthetics, and an item can incorporate minimalist elements while also featuring little greeblies on occasion. A totally minimalist gun would be minimalist but there wouldn't necessarily be anything to make it stand out as cyberpunk, which ranges from neomilitarist on the minimalist end to neokitsch on the tons of useless shit end. I'm not saying it needs to be a featureless block. you have a poor understanding of the subject
>a) nothing like the minimalism you claim to want
>and
>b) are poor choices for a carry gun
I addressed these already and called you autistic
>It has absolutely terrible carry ergonomics
Its a glock 19 you pedantic insufferable frickhead, probably the most carried handgun in the fricking planet. Shut the frick up forever.

it’s safety idiots like you who will get people killed. Danger is just part of the sheepdog lifestyle
So fvcking zased
>your honor, my client pimped out his gun in a purely cosmetical manner, to, in his words, "dab on them haters"
lol yes, exactly.
Seriously though, this came up in the rittenhouse trial. The prosecution showed pictures of him with his rifle and suggested to the jury that he set out to kill someone because it was "cool"
That's how they undermine a self defense case. "His intent wasn't to defend himself - his intent was to role play as a soldier"
They also brought up him using bog standard FMJ as evidence of his thirst for carnage, they're moronic. Attempting to avoid the ire of the prosecution is an exercise in futility at best, they hate you and want you in jail. Bedazzle your gun if you want, if a prosecutor is bringing up the fact that your gun is le scary they already lost. See rittenhouse
Theyre going to say that regardless dipshit moron. They tried to bury that kid who from kenosha by repeatedly saying, "FULLLLL METALLLL JACKETTT AMMMUNITIONNN!!!". So do whats best for yourself anyways because they're crooked lying fricks anyways and you should rely more on the competency of your lawyer to say something that would educate or enlighten the court full of normies.
I would honestly advise picking an EDC gun that maximizes comfort and efficiency over aesthetic, and then work with it from there.
For out of the box options, the Arex Delta, Zev P365, and Kel-Tec P15 all come to mind.
>t. tasteless cyberpunk gun enjoyer.

I’m sadly unable to get into wildcat cartridges, but I have an idea for a “.224 super swift” which would be a .224 Valkyrie projectile in a necked down 30-06 case. Any thoughts on this other than I’m a moron? It just seems like it would be fun to have a newer .22 swift style Cartridge.
The .22-06 has been a thing for decades.
Cyberpunk you say?
I've never fired a gun or had any lessons on gun safety. I want to learn how to shoot guns. I live in an American city. How do I get started?
you can go to many indoor gun ranges and rent guns
Go to the website for any gun range. On the website, they will have the details of classes for newbies. Part of the class will be live fire at the range - the class will be basically free, you're really just paying for ammo.
Don't just randomly rent a gun like
suggested, because you wont know what you're doing and as a result, you'll waste your money. Do the class first.
Don't take classes they're gay
Follow your heart, rent whatever gun tickles your fancy the most and if you don't know how to use it ask the RSO for help, they are looking for something to do
Take a class, read guides online, watch youtube instructor videos (but make sure it's an actual instructor and not some fricknut who makes shit up). I highly recommend taking a gun safety class and getting your conceal carry license, even if your state has constitutional carry (meaning you don't need a conceal license to carry a firearm). good luck and have fun.
>muh cybapunk
Unironically a hi-point, bog standard glock or a pipegun would fit the cyberpunk aesthetic of being a bunch of poorgays forced to buy cheap disposable goods to keep your corporate overlord's profit margin high. If you want to larp as a corpo just get the most expensive gucci gun, like a goddamn pit viper, and put a bunch of attachments on it.
but that's NOW cyberpunk. I want futuristic cyberpunk so I can feel ahead of my time

>inb4 glowing
I know how the question sounds, but Im really just a newbie to rifles
Follow up to this, is the pinning process reversible? I could be wrong but I think Ive heard of botched jobs before.
there will always be some damage you cant remove the hole you drilled. for the most part it is undoable but something might have to be sacrificed in the process.
I have never heard of anyone welding a comp. I thought you just screw it on the barrel and tighten the set screws.
does anyone know what type of helmet this is and whether it's real or not?
it's used by Artyom and the Spartan rangers in metro.
As far as I know they are fictional, I think it is devs interpretation of the "massive titanium helmets" the rangers use in the books. It is obvious that Glukovsky was talking about Altyns/PSH-77s when he wrote the passage. The devs rectified it somewhat in Last Light by giving many of the rangers T-Rys/Lynx helmets
There are even some really worn PSH-77 variants in last light which shows the devs did a little research
How am I supposed to tell the difference between an Altyn, PSH, lynx, RYS-T and K6-3 and MASKA and any other possible variants of titanium Russian helmets?
What size bomb eg JDAM, would it take to destroy a 1st world mbt, suppose it landed on the turret, ie not a sabot or shaped charge.
What tips and tricks have you used to improve your pistol marksmanship?
You'll instantly become a better shot once I bang your mom 69 times.
Watch some YouTube videos with Robert Vogel when he talks about grip.
I'm more mad he didn't stop at the first round
If anyone can find that clip of Sootch NDing a CZ75 into his work bench, I'll be eternally grateful.
Trigger control is huge. You can practice by balancing a coin on the muzzle and dry firing over and over until you can consistently do it without it dropping, then advance to something less stable.
I also recommend the thumb by thumb grip, that has helped me a lot. Another trick I've used is putting my trigger finger through the trigger and assisting it with my left thumb, which allows for a super clean pull/break even when the trigger I'm working with is mega shitty.
Do you know anyone who owns guns? It's nice to learn from somebody you know if you have that luxury. If not, rental ranges are a help but be open with the staff that you're inexperienced and seeking guidance.
dry-firing an SAO autoloader has been the single biggest help for me
Dryfire practice and paying an irl instructor.
whats a good search string to use for finding spyderco endura scales on the chinkshit sites?
Please can someone help me out? I'm looking for a Beretta 92 compact holster with a cut for an optic and I can't for the life of me seem to find one. IWB or OWB I don't care, so long as it's not an AWB holster.
compacts fit in normal size holsters since the only difference is barrel and slide length, the grip is never part of the holster anyway.
So if you find a normal ass beretta holster it should work exactly like normal. I bought a generic blackhawk OWB for my centurion from a box of holsters at a pawn shop cause frick trying to buy one specifically for my gun.
What kit were the Indian Army Gurkha units carrying in the mid-1990s? Right now my best-guess is AKMs, Mag-58 GPMGs, and Carl Gustav RCLs, but I'm prepared to be wrong if anyone else can cite an authoritative source.
where can I read up on casing design and limitations. For example, can you neck down a 50 BMG case to .22 cal (not really but as an example) and what about neck length and shoulder angles to best direct gas down the barrel?
Can someone identify this rifle?
Short action Remington 700 with detachable magazine.
Thanks. Actually what I thought just hadn’t seen one that nice looking.
Are the fudds right about wheelguns?
About what?
>six shooter is all ya need sonny, them auto-loaders are TOO MUCH.
Generally yeah, most SD scenarios are over in 3 shots. Most revolvers fire rounds that are comparable to the big 3. Their manual of arms is quite simpler. The only thing is even .38spl wadcutters can run you more than some gucci 9mm.
The only reason I dont carry an airweight .38 is that the meth zombies taking over my area tend to need way more than 3. Whatever is in this shit it turns them hyper aggressive. They target people for insane reasons like "your brakes squeaked so I am going to follow you home and try and murder you and your family". I miss the shit that made them color for 48 hours straight or clean their house with a q tip before stealing a catalytic converter. Simpler times
Yes but no. Yes in that most of the time pulling your gun is sufficient to ward off an aggressor and that the average number of shots fired in such an encounter is three, so six is adequate. No in that averages aren't authoritative, and the distribution of shots fired is roughly bimodal with one peak being firing a shot and the other is shooting to slide lock/empty cylinder. Additionally, it's not at all uncommon to be attacked by more than one aggressor at once, and nobody ever complained about having too many bullets in a gunfight.
>tl;dr it depends, buy what you want and get good at shooting it with one hand while moving
Where can I find someone to make a barrel so that I can rechamber my 9MM HK P2000 to 22.tcmr. I asked local gunsmiths and none said they would be interested in doing it (none of them had ever rechambered a handgun)

should I be taking the battery out of my lasers, lights, and sights when I'm not actively using them?
I'm always very paranoid about battery leaks.
What would you call someone who thinks Braced Pistols are and always have been NFA (workaround) items and should be regulated as NFA items (so long as the concept exists) but consider the NFA and ATF unconditional edifices?
Because that person is me.
I don't know how to explain it. I hate the NFA and ATF but my inner tism is saying so long as the NFA exists the ATF are unironically doing what they've been mandated to do by Congress. ie infringe.
I just hope the legal challenges strike SBRs off the NFA as Congress this time around couldn't do what they did after the M1 Surplus Scandal despite it effecting up to 40 million Americans.
You're somewhere in the strict constructionalist/textualist camp, legally.
ATF is doing what the illegitimate POTUS and his handlers want, not Congress. But shame on Congress for letting agencies abuse admin rules for so long and letting the ATF get away with murder.
A fricking traitor
A red coat
A gun grabber
A fricking homosexual
A piece of shit
Someone who deserves neither liberty or security
Human garbage
I'm saying the NFA and ATF are blatantly and unquestionably unconstitutional and quite honestly unamerican. However under the plain text of the NFA Braced Pistols were always SBRs. The ATF flip-flopping on braces 3-4 times makes it near entrapment. However if this ruling came immediately 10 years ago I'd find it hard to disagree that under the plain text that a stock with a hole in it is still a stock and everyone knowledges that consciously or not.
That being said the concept of NFA items especially barrel length based items should not exist and likely will not exist within the next 10 years.
ATF should be disbanded my qualm is that a stock with a hole in it was always a stock. I hope Mock v Garland removes SBRs under common use arguments.
Surely a strict constructionalist would follow the line of I can't remember the Court case but essentially that all unconstitutional laws should be ignored.
For me I'd say I'm a strict "letter of the law"ist whilst the law exists but as I said fundamentally all gun laws are infringements.
With Bruen I see that NFA items. Mag bans and "assault weapon" bans are all up for the block so I want to see it corrected very soon.
>but essentially that all unconstitutional laws should be ignored
Not necessarily ignored. Dealt with appropriately through formal channels, more like. The case you're thinking of took a much more hard-line stance because it was the SC, where the formal channel is them acting as ultimate arbiter. For any lower court, a constructionalist would merely say
>we are attempting to circumvent the law
>the law is bullshit
>the law should be judged as such by the proper authorities
Which sounds very in line with your posiition.
No argument here.

Looking for a new pocket carry pistol for the summer and need help deciding.
Should I get a GX4 ($230 with rebate), LCP II for $290, or Taurus 856 UltraLite for $310. Do any of you anons own them and have suggestions?
Depends on your pockets. I carried a ruger lcp (the original) for a while, but it was really unpleasant to shoot for any amount of time. Now I carry a p365 and even though it’s 9mm, it has much better ergos and is more comfortable to shoot. It’s heavier, but it’s honestly not that much bigger and I have no problem pocket carrying it. I think you’re better off getting something just barely big enough to shoot competently than a tiny pistol that is hard to shoot well.
I'm leaning toward the GX4 since it has that rebate that's about to expire and from what I understand it's pretty much a knockoff P365 but part of me wants the revolver just because it's a revolver lol. Maybe I'll get the GX4 and wait on a sale for the others.
id get the taurus if it were me tbh. can shoot through the pocket if needed without malfunctions
the taurus revolver****
This argument is moronic.
Go with the LCP the Max is too fat of a b***h. It'll be harder to draw in many pants and print like mad

Can anyone recommend a glock gen 3 lower parts kit for a p80? Should I just get a basic kit for $35 or a slightly higher end one for $50? Would it even make a noticeable difference? I don't want to pay for a kit thats over $100. Ya boy is on a budget.
Just get a normal one but try to get an extended slide release if you can, it’s known as a G34 slide release, it’s a huge improvement from the stock one.
Get the OEM Glock lower parts kit, idc if it costs $100 it’s worth it. Most P80 build problems come from shitty aftermarket parts, P80 designed the lowers for Glock oem parts
Is 1911 too big for EDC? I really like them aesthetically but they seem a bit large.
Nah, just wear a string belt. They're very thin so I've had great luck carrying full sized 1911
Micro 9s are the way to go anon, unless you're carrying OWB then who gives a shit? But I've seen too many webms of Black folk running up and snatching people's pistols and running off with them.
you can do it. I have been carrying a full size glock. honestly carrying a full size 1911 is based
No. They're really slim which means easier to conceal than a fat double stack. They make alloy frame ones that lighten it up a little bit.
Grip safety and manual safety makes them very safe to carry too, 2 layers of safety on top of a good holster. A good holster and a belt are a must for comfortable carry.
I carry my 10mm Delta Elite time to time, I have a loose grip safety so it rattles like cowboy spurs when I walk.
Youre looling at size wrong you dumb little babby, length doesnt matter not at all. What matters is how fat that shit is and especially the grip, how fat or wide is it. Thats what gives you away, thats whats gonna poke your skinnyfat. Thaats what prints. Thats all that matters really.

I'm new to shotguns and would like suggestions on what ammo to get from the shop tomorrow.
So far I've tried #7.5, BB, and rifled slugs, just for obliterating soda bottles and tin cans so far.
I don't really do any hunting yet, but I'd like to have a few boxes of something useful for duck hunting or other small-ish game, some more slugs, and at least a couple boxes of something larger (maybe buckshot or 00?) in case of 'skinwalker' emergencies.
Any recommendations, specifically for pic related? I'm in Aus if that matters, too.
00 buck in the largest amount you can get.
the specific 00 doesnt matter. learning that brand and how it patterns matters. you will only get that if you buy roughly 1k and actually practice.
being able to buy the 1k and shoot the 1k matters more than the best round.
it doesnt matter if you bought a 5 round box of the best shells if you have no idea how it will pattern and spread. what it will do at different ranges.
you need to buy something stack deep and actually shoot.
people say shit like 4 buck is optimum but you will never find 1k 4 buck in the same spot. you need that 00 and you need to practice to the point where you can predict exactly what that 00 will do when you pull the trigger.
I'll pick up a few boxes of 00 buck to start with then, I'm not in a position to buy a crate of 1k rounds just yet sadly.
Should I get 2.3/4" or 3" shells? The A110 can hold 5 rounds of 2.3/4" but only fits 4 rounds of the 3" shells.
>Should I get 2.3/4" or 3" shells?
buy 1 box of each and shoot
if you can handle 3 and afford to buy and shoot 3 go for it.
in my experience while i can handle it i cant afford it. also the things i shoot dont require 3 to die. 2 3/4 is fine
buy something common (so you can practice) in bulk amounts.
if thats 7.5 2 3/4 cause it comes in 100 packs then thats what it is.
knowing what the ammo will do is more important than anything
I have both 2 3/4 00 buck and 3 in magnum 00 buck, 2 3/4 tends to pattern better from what I’ve seen but it can vary
The best “do-it-all” shot size is #4 in my opinion. And yes, you should get some slugs, 00 buck, pumpkin balls, etc for serious problems. 00 buck is the greatest for serious business
Just to clarify, which #4 are you talking about?
Shit like this is why I get confused.
When he specifically writes "#"4, my guessing is he refers to No. 4

Have you already got a Mosin?
If you do, it might be worth keeping one for spare parts, otherwise sell them both.
If you don't, why not try restoring one of them as a project? At the very least give the bores a clean and see if they're worth salvaging.

3D printed Glock-alike.
Most guns that use polymers come in different colors. Are there differences between the different colored polymers in terms of physical properties like strength, hardness or toughness?
yes there is. In injection molding, and 3d printing. it can be negligibl or it can be significant. usually the ppl selling you the pellets do the heavy lifting science wise. Black is usually the best (carbon black) blocks UV and that protects the polymer chains from.
So is there any good reason why I shouldn't just buy every gun in black and then paint them?
NTA, but if you're painting the gun anyway you're still shielding it from UV, so there's no point in buying it in black. Additionally, carbon black isn't the only or even the most common type of black colorant in plastics manufacturing. "Universal black" is much more common, because carbon black is so much dirtier and carries significant flammability hazards when suspended in air. Universal black is basically just mixing a bunch of shit you'd otherwise scrap together until you hit a pretty loose color spec, regardless of technical performance. Non-black colorants are formulated and dispersed in either solid pellet or liquid additive form specifically to meet a more rigorous color standard while not compromising (or even enhancing) whatever technical performance specs the customer has requested. If you feel comfortable trusting the firearm, you can trust it regardless of what color polymer you bought it in.
>t. works for the people who sell you the colorant pellets and do the heavy lifting science wise
Should probably just do that though you might need to put a coat of white down first to get the colors right. I remember a guy who built PVC pipe backyard rollercoasters talking about how the pipes (used as track) quickly get brittle in the sun. However, even with the lightest coat of paint, they last way longer. Not that it'd really matter with guns unless you're outside every day.
Worst case assuming the whole brace ban pulls through, what about if I got an ar pistol and put a rifle length buffer tube on it and made the buffer weight super light or something whatever will tune it best? You could then put a rubber sock or furniture slider or something on the end for okay shouldering. Making buffer tubes stock shaped seems like it'd be the next thing if the brace ban sticks but then I guess they might start regulating buffer tubes but that's how it is as currently a buffer tube is legal cause it's required for an ar pistol to function so I think you could do a lot of cali type shenanigans with that if the market were to meet a long term brace ban.

The new Sup3r Tuff Op3rat0r Edition buffer tube now only $769.99! Holds spare buffer weights for quick field weight changes. Completely unbreakable and totally not a stock!
Is .300 BLK just better than 7.62x39 since it there are supersonic loads?
Generally 7.62 supers are slightly more powerful in terms of energy because there's more powder behind them but it's all pointless because the platforms and availability of each are much more different and impactful than 100 lbf here or there.
Anyone know good public shooting ranges in CO front range area? I recently had to move to Denver, I don't mind driving a bit. I used to live near Rifle and the range there is fantastic but it's too damn far now.
So I sold my psa15 awhile back and I want to get another rifle since I kinda regret it but don't, I've been eyeing on the S&W mp15w/red dot combo. Is it a good deal for its price? I went to a local gun store and asked on a ruger and he showed me a Ruger with a free float barrel and I think a holosun red dot I don't remember and quoted both at $1200. I know spending a bit more would give me some better qc but I really don't shoot as much unless a friend wants to go or me personally. anyone who own one can tell me how it is?
Anyone know where to buy cheap milsurp pants? Been trying to find good work pants for cheap.
LCR vs 642 for a summer pocket gun? Typical carry is a 365XL but want something more pocketable. Cyberpunk grips are not a factor (yet)
Whichever you like more, the LCR is marginally nicer but is polymer and boomers will say it feels cheap. From what I've seen, LCRs stand up to abuse better because the polymer has some flex where the aluminum of the smith just eats recoil and will need service sooner, especially if you are shooting a bunch of +p. The 642 has been around forever but its hard to find one with several thousand rounds on it that didn't need work, where there are a few documented cases of LCRs surviving at least that long.
I'm thinking about doing a rattlecan paint job on my maverick 88. What are some good patterns to put on it to break it up?
Can anyone identify what radios these are?
