Roving guards with shotguns. Anti-drone drones equipped with shotguns. Once again the scatter gun has risen from the grave and found a new role in the military. Also any kind of munition that be equipped with programmable electronic fuses. Might be time to dust off the old 25mm grenade...

The heat seems especially bad in that area. Where I am at it has lowered somewhat.

I it is sharp. Very sharp from the factory and I honed the edge with ceramics. It is tissue paper slicing sharp. I cut myself from using my knife as a fidget gadget as I am wont to do with a new blade, blade came down of the tip of my finger as I flicked it shut. The steel seems fine, so far...

I'm absolutely fine and am in fact desirous of detaching Isreal from our hip. I wish Isreal no ill will but I am tired of getting dragged into their bullshit over and over again. The Palestinians can go fuck themselves too, I have zero sympathy for those rats

I have seen headlines that the cease-fire lasted 12 minutes, I have seen headlines that the "fragile cease-fire is holding" Just what the hell is going on over there?! Trump is right, they really don't know what the fuck they are doing over there.

https://youtube.com/shorts/r20ig0dk9Dk?si=I3-zW4RF-jG70EtD Lasted for 12 minutes? What a joke. Get out if there, let them tear each other apart.

Is the cease-fire still holding up? Or is Iran back to getting exploded? To be clear I don't give two half shits about Iran or its people, I just don't want us to be involved. Deport all the Muslim diaspora back to the middle east and cordon off the whole region escape from NY style I say. Let...

I really, really, really hope this cease-fire turns into a hostilities ended situation. However the cease-fire in Ukraine didn't hold, the Israeli-Palestinian cease-fire didn't hold why would this one? If annihilating Iran's nuclear facilities through a freakin' mountain is the extra inducement...

So I bring up my three deceased comrades and you say, to my face, they had it coming. I ask you; what kind of man lets that slide? Not this man, I can tell you that much.

I could use the exercise

I don't give a fuck, stop the fucking car then. I'm a grown-ass man! I'll catch an Uber. Your're not even my real dad!

Fair enough, though it would buy you a busted nose. But I respect honesty and balls so I'd offer my hand to get you back up off your ass.

Who knows? I certainly don't. In situations like these the truth is a very crooked line threaded betwixed the lies of all parties involved

It's as well you don't say that to my face.

Still there according to the last reports I heard

Broken and killed for nothing all the wwrld's politicians are as degenerate gambler addicts and the coin they spend and waste on endless lost wagers is the blood of our comrades. No more of this. No more.

I hope this gambit ends up working out. I really do. I hope Iran will negotiate now. All I know that this wager is not what I voted for.

Every memorial day we all come on here and pay bullshit lip service to the obligatory memorial day thread. And every year on one of those threads I post 3 names BRADLEY KRITZER JAMES MARSHALL ADOLFO CARBALLO 3 young men, Brad turned 18 fucking 3 weeks into his deployment, who died in Iraq...

Some of you are really dumb. We are on the eve of potential nuclear conflict and some of you are waving the flag for it.

If its not in my town I don't give two fucks.

Any quality 9mm bounded JHP will be sufficient fir self defense. The less powerful. 38 Special has long proven itself sufficient for self defense. 9mm is cheaper, easier to find and provides better follow up shot control than the other 2 main pistol cartridges. Still when limited to 10 rounds I...

None. Of. Our. FUCKING BUSINESS!

This was a terrible idea. Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria......... we have learned nothing.

What did @DoD1776 end up with anyways? I recently saw this thing though- https://www.eotechinc.com/eotech-vudu-3-9x32-sfp It's a lightweight, compact supposedly rugged 3x9 scope with wife FOV and integrated mount (same footprint as the small ACOG lug) for EoTech's pistol dot optic...

Pre realization that SIG is a POS company I would have considered purchasing one of these. Now however, well SIG is in the same category as Springfield Armory and Rock River arms: on the never ever buy list.

The weirdest and perhaps fanciest of my knives, the ZT 460. I thought this one was gonna break my heart, the carbon fiber side was covered in scratches and the action felt like it was full of sand to the point it would not flip open freely. The scratches turned out to be just marks that wiped...

Fuck. NO!

Yeah, prices are nuts now. I did a quick price check on various mount I consider GTG- LaRue is charging $400 for their mounts now and while the are good mounts that is way overpriced. ADM is running $220-$270 for their mounts which is more reasonable Midwest Industries run right around $200...

Ah yes, the inevitable consequence to getting a new knife. Got blood all over the scale too. But a little water, a drop of hand soap and a toothbrush cleaned it right up. Re-oiled and good as new. The blade had that no pain cut sharpness BTW

My Favorite brand for sure.

I concur actually. I'm just saying if the Army actually completes the adoption of 6.8x51, and it won't, they will have been better served by something like 6mm Arc. A humble Midwest Industries QD mount which has given me good service so far. Trigger is tge excellent LaRue MBT 2 stage. I did...

And here it is, the Spyderco Manix 2 "CruCarta" Cruwear steel blade with canvas micarta scales and a ball bearing lock- Cruwear can be thought of as super D2, a semi-stainless steel that has high toughness and edge retention but is superior to D2 is all respects. I have never used a knife with...

The weight is only something like 10% more, if we can get a 25 round magazine that is the same size as a 30 round 5.56 I'd say we were in business. Ideally we'd take this cartridge and narrow and lengthen for better packaging but since we are married to the small frame AR form factor it is what...

Do you suppose it will become an established cartridge? It's parent 6.5 Grendel never seemed to have moved beyond a niche cartridge. Then again apparently some as yet unnamed SOCOM unit is doing a field trial with Geisele 6mm ARC uppers as sort of a new SPR program. That Geisele GFR is...

If I were a wealthy man, or had the discipline to stack money aside for a year, I'd get one of the new Geissele precision rifles in 6mm ARC. Here, this guy: https://geissele.com/18-6arc-gfr-maritime-recce-rifleddc.html

My "Blade Remediation" project has given me an itch for a new blade. Working 6 days/ 65 hours a week has given me the freedom to scratch it. I won't fully disclose what I got just yet other than to say a "CruCarta" is inbound soon.

I find G10 and Carbon Fiber to be resistant to wear and tear, particularly the former. Titanium is impervious to anything other than scratches. The aluminum scales of my 940 Osborne have taken a hellacious beating from bouncing around all tossed together with my other knives however. I...

Oh, yeah that is the new Magpul TMag. Apparently they suck. I wish I had seen about that before I bought 4 of em. I guess I'll need to test them to see if they are problematic. They look cool at least.

Or as I prefer these days the General Purpose Rifle- I had to do a little Bubba engineering to get clearance on that one rail cover. I know it looks ugly, I'll clean it up with a file later. This wasn't a completely frivolous exercise in aesthetics either. I like the new Magpul stocks and the...

We ARE being invaded by foreign nationals and its our own leadership that is facilitating it. Any illegal should be shot at the border, all illegals in the country now should be rounded up and shot. All politicians and bureaucrats that enable illegal immigration should be arrested, tried and...

All I personally need from the government is to look the other way while I handle my business.

The reclamation project continues- Today I cleaned and touched up the unloved ZT 566. Seemingly hated for its status as a budget Hinderer XM18 clone it is nevertheless a good knife. Heavy though as that is not titanium but Stainless Steel but its sits fine in a jeans pocket nonetheless. It...

SharpMaker is simple, easy and effective. A common criticism is that it is only really good for touch ups but if you also get the diamond tri-stones for it you can resurrect and re-profile a butter knife edge too.

"No Kings" huh? Today? Yeah, little Gally deployed- This trucker is NOT getting Reginald Denny'd today

You like "hanging out and talking with like minded people"? Oh fuck off, you are as big as misanthrope as I am . If you are like me anytime you are among a crowd running through your mind on a non-stop loop is...

What are gunshows like these days? I gave up on years ago. Seems like whatever you can snag at a gunshow you can get on an auction site at a better prices and sans all the bullshit.
