So these are a giant flop apparently? On top of it all it seems all the sellers are having “trouble” fulfilling orders. Bullshit, more like these faggots are drop shipping Ukrainian sloppy seconds in an attempt to smash and grab some cash from all of us. I just requested a refund through PayPal and will hit up ole navy fed and request a charge back if that don’t work. Probably would’ve said fuck it and rolled with it if the faggots I made the purchase with would’ve send me a confirmation email or fucking ANYTHING upon purchase to let me know that shit was processing.

/k/alico Extractor Adventures, Continued: Last thread: >>62916553 Said I'd only update if the thread stayed up, but I only just missed it and I want to thank Anon for the save. It took a lot of 3-in-1 and a lot more force than I was hoping to use, but I got the pin out and swapped my extractor! It seems much more reliable now. Unfortunately "more" in this case means it works (on dummies, hand actuating) about 30-50% of the time instead of zero, but I knew what I was getting into when I bought one of these, so I will take any progress I can get. In testing, though, I think I discovered a second half to the original problem: it doesn't seem like the ejector is capable of acquiring a round in battery. It works as long as each round feeds into the bolt face behind the extractor from above (as out of the magazine), but if that process doesn't go perfectly and the rim winds up in front of the extractor tooth, no amount of force will allow the shell to properly enter the bolt face. For example, you can never manually load the breach at 100+1 because the extractor will never mate with the round in the breach. Does anyone know if that is normal behavior for these guns? Also Calico general, for the one other person on this forum who owns one of these monstrosities

Mercenaries: Given the realities of the war in Ukraine, namely the fact that the Ukrainian army at this point is effectively a NATO army that is simply being manned by Ukrainian soldiers. It makes me think: "How far can that concept go?" I mean, NATO is effectively directly fighting Russia in the war, but because the actual trigger pullers are Ukrainians and all of the equipment is given a Ukrainian paint job or has a Ukrainian flag on it, it's technically viewed as being the Ukrainian army. If this is the case, then could it be possible in the future for nations to be able to wage war utilizing mercenaries? Both in the private sense as in they're self funded and on contract, but also in the East India Trading Company sense of being funded by a nation? If lets say some corporation created a mercenary army of 50,000 men, and said mercenary army invaded a country to secure resources and depose the ruling elite with new ones who just so happen to align perfectly with the foreign policy of the United States. Would that be viewed as the United States invading another country? Or would that be viewed as an independent paramilitary force doing a little bit of asset liquidation? How far can the concept go /k/? Side question for the lulz: If you were in charge of creating a corporate mercenary army of 50,000 men with a $250,000,000 budget, how would you do it?

What's with the Hood obsession with stockless ARs? It's not like they have anything against putting something illegal on the back of a pistol (Glock switches). A stock doesn't make the gun weigh much more or make it much less concealable. My personal conspiracy theory is that police/intelligence agencies created a psyop to influence gangsters to hold guns sideways, use auto switches, and forego a stock or optic on a rifle so that they would have a disadvantage in a gunfight against cops.

If a retailer offer a “ready to ship” fully built units they will list the spec values. Hand select is an option from retailers that will try to match to your spec requirements.

It was not a ICBM that struck Ukraine. Rather it was a new hypersonic Medium-Range Ballistic Missile (MRBM), as explained by President Putin today they name it as “Oreshnik”. So far, the detail of this system is not known but experts (both from Russia and abroad) mentioned that the system is an advanced hypersonic ballistic missile system, with several advance and unique features, for instance within one missile it can deliver multiple heavy warheads, which we witnessed from the Dnepropetrovsk video. Also, it is capable to deliver both nuclear and non-nuclear payloads, obviously the Dnepropetrovsk strike was non-nuclear payload. Furthermore, experts as well as President Putin mentioned the speed of the missile is unmatched traveling at approximately 10 times the speed of sound, currently, there are no means to counter "Oreshnik" missiles.

Surplus items, clothing, local food/candy/soda/booze, books, gun parts, dildo knives, etc. Feel free to list whatever as you match will get the full list. BE THOROUGH WHEN IT COMES TO SIZING OF CLOTHING! 4) IS THERE ANYTHING YOU ABSOLUTELY CANNOT RECEIVE? Due to any reason, but especially by law) 5) WHAT DO YOU WANT TO GIVE? Do you have any cool shit that falls into one of the above categories? Do you have some weird shit that doesn't fit into the categories above? 6) IS THERE ELSE ANYTHING SANTA SHOULD KNOW ABOUT? There is going to be just one exchange for the $20 and $100+ tiers, with proof of mailing due by December 10th. I will be accepting names up until December 6th, but just know that the later you wait, the less likely you will get matched with an ideal candidate. I am going to match people and have them exchange gifts with each other instead of doing a round-robin type of thing like I did last year.

I still love flecktarn and alpenflage and chocolate chip (i gave all my desert storm surplus camo to a friend) but did my prediction that Tropical Digicam and anything SEA related would be the new meta ever come true? My camo grail is anything pink from the days when pink panther camo had advantages but was abandoned because it was gay I lost my czech ruck stuff when i was drunk. I don't know where it is. Some hobo has a fucking cold war knapsack now probably. I'm drunk right now as well. Only milsurp i have atm is a chicom flag from the 50's and a WW2 GI blanket (not a repro) and a Italian M65 field jacket clone as well as a medical crate from the early 1940's I'm using to store herbs claimed to increase sexual prowess. I love the secondary shithole countries because everyone overlooks them I don't post here anymore because the vibe sucks ass but please feel free to post your milsurp collections and grails no matter how silly or obscure.

If you thought Queen of the Skies was autistic...oh just you fuckin wait. Target for Today adds multiple layers of complexity to the game, including all kinds of things such as: >6 different aircraft (B-17E/F/G, B-24D/J, YB-40) >weather simulation >more detailed systems damage (ex: loss of a specific engine on a specific submodel of the B-24J results in a -1 to gunnery accuracy for a specific turret) >expanded target lists >squadron simulation And so much more. This is gonna get fucked up super fast, and these threads are likely going to be a bit slower than the QotS threads since they involve a lot more rolling. But fuck it, let's get autistic.

Elder technology restored in russia. New guest character for 2025 looney tunes combat footage? BTVT: In the Russian Federation, a prototype of the 2S21 Msta-K wheeled self-propelled gun was restored. The Msta-K was developed at the Burevestnik Central Research Institute based on the experimental KrAZ-6316 truck. However, the idea of a wheeled self-propelled gun somehow did not take root in the USSR and the Russian Federation. In 1987, the project was closed.

/k, Would you be ask kind to explain red dot to me? If I set a base zero to my iron sights on my pistol, so dot is at where my front post is middled between my rear sights... How is this going to ever change when i hit the range to zero at 15 or 20 yards or wherever? I'm heading to the range in like an hour to zero in jy first red dot and really aren't sure at this point. I'm good with irons, pistol is Falcon 9XC, it's dead-on with the irons. Basically I'm lost as to how this will assist me, AND why I'd need further adjustments if I have the dot co-witnessed with my irons... do angles of view change at different distances? Basically /k, explain why I'd need to adjust further, at what distances yall use, and sell me on how this $330 optic will benefit me to the point of not returning it. This pistol has very tall and bright/night irons so I'm clearly able to use them even with this optic installed. I get it on my rifles where I only have optics to place shots but I'm not yet sold on the dot for pistols yet, at least not this pistol. Inputs appreciated righteous warriors.

Delivery is carried out through third-party companies. >Foreign components for this UAV are also imported through China >The "Gerbier" device can carry a warhead as a kamikaze and conduct radio-electronic reconnaissance, in particular, to detect air defense positions and record the hits of other strike drones.
