Wat's Guns-N-Stuff Thread

[Wat_Tyler]

Once again, as Sentient Life has tried to make clear: The AR is NOT and "assault rifle." It is not an abbreviation for "assault rifle." The "Sturmgewehr" was something else entirely, as is the M4 and the M16 and the M14. Those are military issued rifles. AR rifles as available for standard sales to "the rest of us" are different. They are incapable of select fire. Go and educate yourself before shooting off your mouths and proving beyond doubt what a knucklehead you are.


Here's a rifle which may have participated in and actual assault:

^^^More lectures from an incel gun fanatic.

Who cares about your smug post-event bullshit? The amateur sniper missed by 3 inches.

Read Hathcock's book. His notable shots were head shots. He even had to explain what happens with some of them to his Major.


Don't remember from Ward's book.


Never read anything on Kyle.

JT Ward's "Dear, Mom: A Sniper's Journal Of Vietnam " was an amazing read, if you ever get the chance. It also introduces Chuck Mawhinney, who was the senior sniper that Ward got his 1st rifle from as he was rotating back to the World.

It's on the bookshelf. Or it may be boxed up - not sure.


I liked the tale where they're in the fore tower and Charlie is lighting them up with (probably) his AK, shooting through the floor (I think). One of the guys had a 14 and Ward has his aught 6 bolt gun. They swapped and Ward, figuring where the shooter was (behind a down'ed tree trunk) started at one end where he thought and worked his was down the log blowing .308 through the log. One mag later, the guy was hamburger,


That's some shit you just cannot do with your .223/5.56 chambered rifle.

Ton of great material. The missions they did in Arizona territory and the "drop through the canopy" mission that went to shit were riveting. They had to get a recoiless dropped in with the flechette (beehive) rounds.

I had intended to give it a reread but didn't. I reckon that something came up. One of these days, I reckon.

Force Recon Command by Maj. Alex Lee is another good one. Different in that it was from the command perspective, but a good change of pace.

So noted.


In other news while out on a walk yesterday, I noticed something copper-colored in the gutter. Thinking it might be a one cent coin, the shape wasn't right. Turns out it was a .380/9mm spent round. Finding those strikes me as weird.

Spanged off a steel plate and landed on the roof? Or someone going "Iraqi wedding" on adjacent property?

I like to check for lint.

I don't worry about lint since I don't carry my EDC in my belly button.

Neither do I, but clothes. I carry mine under clothes, and I wear a lot of cotton, and cotton clothes make lint. Trust me on this one. I know what I fish out from the crevices around the slide from time to time.

My guess is that it is/was a recent deposit from the recent fireworks-and-related-racket holiday.

My EDC isn't that inactive. A holster isn't a hammock to sleep the weekend away in.

This one is, and it's almost as sensitive as one of our candy-assed Lit libturds here. You know how they catch things like WDS in their tiny minds. It's little and goes in my right front pocket for things like going for a walk or hot weather carry.


My bigger piece is much more like the rest of us and it's pretty much always ready to go.


Around here, I don't get to shoot any of them enough. In time . . . .

You keep talking like that and you're going to scare someone into thinking you're a meany

Yes, the great unanswered question of the 21st century: Why is Wat so mean???


We simply may never know.

Got an ad for MAS49/56 rifles for sale - not that I want one. One more Allah-damned calibre to inventory, so fuck that. If it were in .308/7.62, a very small maybe. But I noted this:


No sales to CA, CT, DE, DC, HI, IL, MD, MA, NY, NJ and WA due to state laws.


Now, I don't know about you, but for a boring-ass rifle whose only note is that it's French (never fired only dropped once) and a semi-auto, this looks like some motherfucking infringement.


And we're not talk about the fringe on Granny's afghan, either.

Stuff: our PB (com)posters suck meth head cock at identifying alts. This is part of doing your homework, which involves jerking off less and reading old posts more. In Internet Years, this place has been here forever. Get busy - learn something. Learn which of your heroes is sterile. learn which on can't drive on wet pavement and has a pasty soft build that breaks a lot.


If you had to do the homework to get some kind of promotion here, you lot would be repeating some grades. Maybe for the rest of the decade.


Guess which poster that Wat bought a set of knuckledusters for???

This just wild. It's comparable to the US equipping front line troops with 1903 Springfield rifles. Like a post apocalyptic scenario.

 

[Chobham]

Interesting change of weapons. Could it be that the Russians have decided that the more open country of Ukraine is best exploited by a longer ranged battle rifle? That is the whole rationale behind the Army going to the XM7 system, longer range.

My guess would be that they've lost some rifles and decided to smell some cosmoline for a change. One hundred thirty-three year old design gets to go to the dance.

 

[Chobham]

I doubt that they're running out of AK's or ammo for same. Waging war in Ukraine is like waging war in Kansas. Lots of open country.
