>muh 30 years of wear and tear

It's funny how the M60 is the only modern GPMG that seems to have such severe problems. Meanwhile Britain and Germany have no such issues with their equally beat-up MAGs and MG3s (I wouldn't be surprised if the Bundeswehr is still using a few WW2-production receivers to this day), and Britain had a hard time even getting the MAG adopted because their Vickers guns were still working fine after 40 years and >100k rounds.

Besides which, most of the complaints about the M60's durability started in Vietnam, then died off in the 70s and 80s as sturdier replacement parts were phased into service.

And there's no excusing the retarded barrel-change mechanism. There's no good reason why you should need to replace the bipod and half of the gas system with every spare barrel, it just adds a ton of extra weight and complexity.

>>688889

>and half of the gas system with every spare barrel

Changing the gas block and tube seems like it would be smart on a MG since they'll get just as hot as the barrel (they're connected to and take gas from the barrel after all) since they too can be effected by heat and are an item that can dump some of the heat from the previous barrel into the new cool one.

I've always questioned why you'd even bother trying to make MGs anything other than recoil operated. Since they aren't really THAT concerned with accuracy to start with (though recoil operated MGs don't look to be hurting for it from everything I've seen) there's fewer parts to break, and it avoids heating up more parts than needed.

>It's funny how the M60 is the only modern GPMG that seems to have such severe problems

Mostly caused by way US military usually procures machine guns. US usually buys their machine guns fast and closes production few years later, then uses those guns until those fall apart. Happened with M60 and M249.

>Britain had a hard time even getting the MAG adopted because their Vickers guns were still working fine after 40 years and >100k rounds.

Vickers like most of other early machine guns were over engineered and practically indestructible. 100k rd is nothing to Vickers, just another day in the office.

<In 1963 in Yorkshire, a class of British Army armorers put one Vickers gun through probably the most strenuous test ever given to an individual gun. The base had a stockpile of approximately 5 million rounds of Mk VII ammunition which was no longer approved for military use. They took a newly rebuilt Vickers gun, and proceeded to fire the entire stock of ammo through it over the course of seven days. They worked in pairs, switching off at 30 minute intervals, with a third man shoveling away spent brass. The gun was fired in 250-round solid bursts, and the worn out barrels were changed every hour and a half. At the end of the five million rounds, the gun was taken back into the shop for inspection. It was found to be within service spec in every dimension.

Then what's with the Lugers depicted with "snail drums" and other shit like that?

If you don't have subterranean temperatures low enough, then cooling your food is a potential area of interest.

Since keeping your food cool then involves as little invasion of heat as possible, then that presents you with another challenge: insulation.

Thus, finding the most element-resistant and cost-effective and thermally resistant method of insulation becomes important. Just throwing thick layers of foam around something is the most no-brainer method.

Cooling it to a desired temperature range and keeping it there will very in cost depending on how efficient it is and how well-insulated your storage is.

None of this is that difficult. You just have to balance your cost of rotating your rations at a much lower rate due to just-above-freezing temperature of storage, or rotating them more quickly if their storage temps are higher.

Bring a buffalo gun and a camera with you. Spooks really hate cameras for some reason, seeing as how they've never been captured on one.

If you are attacked, be it by a spook or not, a buffalo gun will always prove itself indispensable.

In other news, I've devised a way in which to defeat a supernatural creature of almost any sort. The answer is drugs and a lack of clothes. A good number of these alleged beings seem to depend on fright, and what's a better way to combat fright than taking 10mgs of oxycodone? Pain suppression is an added benefit to that as well. Then you have the matter if whether these creatures are sapient, generally upwardly intelligent or similar; if they are, being stark naked and high will certainly catch them off guard, and seeing as how armor or clothes does very little at warding off whatever sort of attacks they have, such things matter little and you're better off taking the gamble of being naked. Provided that it isn't extremely cold, striping naked can only provide benefit. The flaw with this idea is that oxycodone takes a half hour to kick in, and thus I would recommend something like a very high dosage of xanax in lieu if you are caught unawares. Two benefits that oxycodone doesn't have: nearly instant effect, and at high dosages, complete memory loss combined with extremely erratic behavior. Downside is a lack of higher mental facilities, but I can't see bumrushing a skinwalker requiring much of that. In fact, that might even be a positive in some scenarios, but I would recommend against having firearms within any manner of accessible distance in such a case; if you do fight off your attacker, you may be down a hand and bleed out. I suppose the decision depends on whether or not you're hunting them, or if you've found yourself out in the woods and being hunted. Regardless, what's a better way to go out than going apeshit attacking a spook while naked and high? Can guarantee you almost any afterlife will let you in with that.

Nevada anon here, went camping with some buddies out in this area probably close to a month ago now. Drove around on some trails, didn't find any old buildings like in thread pic.

Two spooky things happened, one of our guys saw something 'larger than a deer and black in color' run through some trees probably 50 yards away from our campfire. We walked around but didn't see anything. Later that night I couldn't sleep for a while, sometime past midnight I heard what sounded like a deer or cow (there was a cattle farm semi nearby) screaming, kind of yelled on an off for 20 odd minutes before getting quiet. May go back (live near Yerington) sometime soon to explore some other possible areas.

>2nd amendment is removed from the constitution?

It already was.

A single mentally ill autist regardless of how many many guns, explosives and whatever else he owns, poses no threat to the government, and minimal threat to a BATFE team.

Who gives a shit if you can own some guns and plink cans in your back yard when actually attempting to form a militia to secure the free state ends up with your group being overran by feds will arrest each other for shooting you or just sieged like Waco and then you'll get called a hwite supremacist after you die.

Reread what I posted retard. I said there's maybe a few million Americans that would resist gun confiscation not that there's only a few million in total.

>The possibility of cyber attack is more likely

The EMP would be the cyber attack. All electronics that aren't protected by things like Faraday cages or thick aluminum foil, which functions as a cheap Faraday cage, won't work, which is virtually every electronic device, and every hard drive that isn't protected by a Faraday cage would be completely wiped.

>>626860

They won't. zoomers are too right leaning and the old guard is all going to be dead in 20ish years.

mass confiscation is a nogo. the only attempt would be a slow boil, and it would never fly in the south or midwest.

all the chink shit is absolute trash and is only good enough to look passable in the images. You NEED to buy a real USGI norotos mount.

One alternative is buying a wilcox clone from china, which I did but hasn't gotten here yet, but obvious paper trail.

I'm reminded of the drug dealer who brings his gun to a party to do some kind of trick and ends up waving it around at people and ruining everyones time.

>>689538

I thought everyone knew about this.

Basically the case is lengthened to stop the piston protruding into the barrel.

The issues were mainly related to power, the thickness of the casing has to be increased considerably to stop it deforming and jamming the action- as the case still has positive pressure after firing. The round also has to remain subsonic, so the overall energy on target I think was really low.

They were very nieche and were only made in limited numbers- but because of their unique utility were held onto by ex-soviet agencies and anyone else who got their hands on them before the fall of the USSR

Older models I believe had two O/U barrels but newer ones were magazine fed, however because of the niche application I imagine some operators preferred two reliable rounds in chamber in case of malfunction.

Newer models also had a telescoping piston that reduced overall case length.

I'm pretty sure post cold war everyone developed a version of these, what interest me more is the ones where a telescoping cartridge were hidden in an object, and if they ever developed specialty munitions

I mean, in terms of accuracy and range, the M200 Intervention is probally the most accurate man-portable rifle in existence (if you consider a nearly 30lbs rifle unloaded "portable), with the proper loading and calculations

In terms of overall quality, really any mauser action rifle

Smle is the best because of rapid fire and the fact that you don't have to move your face out of the way when you cycle the bolt

>>689056

Any Mannlicher-Schoenauer, really. this is the correct answer.

Because having a military is about appearance and shaking down the people for money, not actually fighting air wars.

They don't need air superiority. They would only be strafing white girls and boys in schools in Britain, right?

When stabbing you want a sharp edge on your weapon so that it penetrates more easily and, more importantly, cuts any organs/arteries etc. as it goes past them, instead of pushing them out of the way.

>>685697

Their steel quality is actually very good, I've got one of their spears, stabbed it through metal, thrown it through inches of wood and all kinds without any trouble.

>>687168

Come on mate you're just being a contrarian fag now. 'I prefer an awkward piece of pipe over a handcrafted, beautiful, and well balanced weapon'. Fuck off.

Is there a kind of sabre(-like weapon) with a curved blade that has its tip inline with the hilt? In other words, it curves downward from the hilt, then comes back up. I vaguely remember something like this, but I can't find it.

>>686200

Suppose they both prevent accidental finger severing equally, would the simpler design not be better? Fewer moving parts also means a lower chance for failure.

>>687840

Right, that was my take as well. I could see the reasoning behind going for a compression lock, since although it's a little weaker that CBBL, it's easier to activate and is great for flipper knives. This new one doesn't seem to have a particular advantage over the much simpler CBBL.
