OK /k/, this has been needing an updating. What shall we do? Good FOSS program to make new version with? What price ceiling should be set for each category? I'm thinking 325 for handguns, and 500 for rifles (no idea for shotgun)

Going to split AR15 into its own section (any other recommendations for rifles, both AR and not AR?)
AR15
The evil black rifle the media and rest of the Democrats hate. What they don't tell you (and the real reason they want to ban it) is the AR15 is the most popular rifle platform in the United States, and because of this the AR15 platform offers the most spare parts and customization around. 5.56 ammo is fairly cheap, as are magazines (Magpul gen 3 with window, regarded as one of the best options, will cost $13 plus shipping. Be warned that mag quality varies wildly by brand so check reviews). 5.56 is also ideal for home defense, as it's light weight and tumbling once it hits a target makes it poor at penetrating walls (even a pistol caliber like 9MM will go through more), so it won't kill your neighbor/kids if you miss (you will) or it goes through the bad guy.
M&P15 Sport II ~$470
>has sights so can shoot out of the box
>S&W has good customer service
<cheap ass handguard that will melt if you fire it a lot (good Magpul handguard is ~$30 after shipping and easy to install)
<non-standard barrel that adds some weight to the front though it is quite accurate
PSA Freedom Rifle $450
>good furniture and not bad trigger preinstalled
<PSA's customer service isn't the worst but it is SLOW
<because sales rotate, you may need to wait a week, more if you want a specific furniture color (black/flat dark earth) or gas system length (mid-length/carbine)
<no rear sight (40 for really good one)
PSA Kit (~$410+$40-60aluminum lower from local store+35 USD in basic tools)
Make sure your kit includes a bolt carrier group and charging handle, preferably sights as well. M-lok handguard is better than Keymod
>generally gets you a better gun than you'll otherwise get at your price range
<rotation is even more true with the the variety of options on sale
<requires basic tools (punches, a buffer tube wrench and a masking tape) some assembly required, but you'll want this for maintence anyways

>tumbling
fragmenting
>won't kill your kids
Might, It will go through a few sheets of drywall. Two sheets (what most houses have separating rooms) won't stop the fragments. Plus that's really only if you hit it at an angle. If you shoot straight through, it won't fragment or it will fragment late and you could easily kill your kids that way. You're right though that overpenetration isn't really an issue.
>M&P sport II
>$470
You can go cheaper. Can get a bear creek arsenal AR from classic for $400, only need the rear sight (which can be pretty cheap).
Also it's probably fine but it's worth noting PSA's security issues and lack of disclosure.

Oh and because this is almost certainly going to hit new people, it should include a bit of information on common pistol calibers. Does this look sufficient?
22 Short/Long Rifle/Magnum: These are for target shooting, training and small game (e.g., squirrel) hunting, not self-defense. They are however cheap and the ammo is dirt cheap, so you'll want one to practice with.
9mm (9x19, 9mm NATO, 9mm Parabellum, 9mm Luger): The standard pistol round used by most police and all professional military around the world. 9mm is powerful enough to kill while not being uncontrollable (or at least as much as one could get in a handgun).
380 ACP (9x17): A weaker cartridge than 9mm, however because of this lower power it can be used in straight blowback handguns which are very cheap to make. Ammo costs more than 9MM and will quickly erode any cost advantage with regular practice. 380s can also be made much smaller than 9mms.
9x18 (9mm Makarov): A slightly more powerful variant of 380 ACP with the advantage of cheap ammo. However, all guns in this caliber will be former Soviet Bloc surplus as the Soviets designed the cartridge to be completely incompatible with guns and tooling common in NATO countries.
45 ACP (45 Auto): The handgun cartridge used by the US in both World Wars, Korea, and Vietnam. Travels slower than 9mm but has a heavier projectile. Believed to have a higher stopping power than 9mm, but FBI data suggests any such increase is negligible and larger size means a decrease in capacity over 9mm. Costs more than 9MM
40 S&W: A midpoint between 9MM and 45 ACP used by the FBI from 1990 to 2016, with several police forces following suit. Unadopted in 2016 in favor of 9mm because it shared most of the same disadvantages as 45 ACP. As a result of this recent unadoption guns in 40 S&W can be found much cheaper than 9mm variants while ammo is not too much more (who knows how long this will last).
38 Special/357 Magnum: These are the standard modern revolver cartridges. Both are sufficient for self defense (at least as far as any revolver is), though 357 Magnum is more powerful and preferred. 357 Magnum guns can fire 38 Special, but not vice-versa.
Any recommendations for hearing protection other than Howard Leight disposable ear plugs doubled up with Howard Leight Impact Sport (with a warning about counterfeits on Amazon)?

How about:
>The evil black rifle the media and rest of the Democrats hate. What they don't tell you (and the real reason they want to ban it) is the AR15 is the most popular rifle platform in the United States. A result of this popularity is the AR15 platform offers the most spare parts and customization around, as well as some of the cheapest prices. 5.56 ammo is fairly cheap, as are magazines: Magpul gen 3 with window, regarded as one of the best options, will cost ~$13 plus flat shipping and several quality alternatives can be found for less. Be warned that mag quality varies wildly by brand so check reviews. 5.56 is also ideal for home defense, as it's light weight and will tumble/fragment once it hits a target, making it poor at penetrating walls (even a pistol caliber like 9MM will go through more), so it is less likely to kill your neighbor/kids if you miss (under pressure you will) or it goes through the bad guy. The light recoil and weight make it comfortable to shoot and easy to make follow up shots with.
And add a earlier along the lines of this at the start of home defense (would put shotguns and rifles next to eachother with pistols to the right, with this leading both like the top of a pyramid)
>Handguns suck for home defense. They are hard to use under stress and very weak compared to shotgun and rifle rounds. The average break in has two criminals (i.e., there are often 3 or more) and those that don't flee/surrender at the sight of an armed resident shining a bright light in their face are likely on drugs or very aggressive (i.e., single shots will often fail to stop a threat immediately). Capacity and capability for followup shots are important for a home defense firearm.

>And add a earlier along the lines of this at the start of home defense (would put shotguns and rifles next to eachother with pistols to the right, with this leading both like the top of a pyramid)
Yea I think it needs to be made very clear that handguns are really only for places where you cant carry a long gun, for instance in public inb4 some faggot talking about OC'ing an AR15 at his local mall. Since this is for nogunz it should also mention that shotguns work nothing like what they are portrayed in movies and video games and you still need to aim them since the spread of 12g 00 buck at hallway distances is at worst baseball sized and at best basketball sized.
Also that bit about hearing protection should be emphasised, discharging a gun in a confined space like a hallway WILL fuck your hearing up and in some cases may even cause slight disorientation that greentext of the guy who used his 20mm for self defence comes to mind.

I don't, I just know it's cheap. Honestly it's probably the exact same shit as the M&P, just a few bucks cheaper.
>>509125
I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure if your bullets are tumbling then you have an issue. 5.56 will typically yaw but it will usually explode into fragments after doing so unless it's going too slow, which is what you want. My point there really was that fragmenting is what's expected and intended, although It was mostly just autistic pedantry. There are rounds (such as 5.45x39) that were made to tumble as their method of energy-dumping, though.
More importantly was that I didn't want OP to lead people into a false-sense of security by telling them that it's okay to miss. In the case of drywall, unless you hit it straight on, your bullet is going to explode into treats fragments. Best case scenario is that this happens immediately and the energy can be partially absorbed or even mostly absorbed by more sheets of drywall. Worst case scenario (maybe even worse than hitting the wall straight on with no fragmentation) would be yawing after the hitting drywall and then exploding once it hits the other piece of drywall or soon after, spraying shards of hot lead everywhere.
That can happen when hitting a person too, but it's less of an issue. If your bullet explodes as it's leaving your target, you still have a few sheets of dry-wall to absorb that energy.

>9x18 (9mm Makarov)
As far as I'm aware, that's not actually that common of a cartridge in the United States. The only reason you'd want to include it in the list is because Makarovs are, or at least were, cheap and plentiful.
94c102 No.509141
>>509129
Fragmentation and tumbling are the two ways which rifle bullets produce the damaging temporary and permanent cavities in targets. How bullets behave when they hit a target is determined by many factors, bullet weight, bullet construction, sectional density, barrel twist rate, impact velocity, etc all contribute. It doesn't matter how the bullet will impart its energy to the target so long as its done before it exits.
If you look at pic related you will see that some bullets tumble while others fragment, both produce the cavities which are what actually the causes damage though, you will also see that several don't start dumping energy until significant penetration depth at which point they are probably outside the target. You will also be able to see why 5.45 is nicknamed the poison bullet, because it tumbles and produces big cavities quickly but at typical exit depths its pointing straight and so has a (comparatively) small exit wound compared to the damage it did internally.

Shotgun section needs a big re-write.
>need more budget guns by different companies
Not everyone carries an H&R or Savage some places sell only Dickinson(need more info on the quality but it is a Turk roach made Winchester pump like the current year one) and rock island (which is a hi-standard flight king). But mostly we need a good list of what kinds of parts will work with these guns, like the savage being confirmed to be able to take Winchester extensions. Or even a list of what mods can be done to make it a bit better, like sawing off a portion of the fore end on most budget shotguns to make room for a side saddle
>what type of shotgun
Make sure to add a bit about what features to look for/avoid in a shotgun such as avoiding pistol grip only like the plague as it can only be comfortably fired from the hip (without training on how to do that Remington witness protection shit) causing accuracy to suffer like a goat in a mosque.
>add in a shell belt for ammo carrying
They are practical and cheaper than a bandoleer sling while not being and fuck huge weight on your gun that is also awkward to reload from
>need a new budget flashlight
The current one is discontinued and I doubt we can reliably go on amazon/ebay to buy new old-stock. I vote for the the streamlight polytac as it is about $40 (and cheaper than the sure fire g2) after taxes maybe even less but if anyone has experience with some wally world flash light that didn't break from one shot lets hear it (all I can think of is the rayovac "indestructible" but even then I'm not confident with more than a few blasts).
>light mounts
barely scratched it just says they exist and can cost from this much to that much. TacStar makes a cheap one that works for ~$20 and elzetta makes a great one that mounts to the barrel/mag tube for ~$40. This one can possibly be a corner a poorfag could cut as you could make a ghetto one that just werks out of a few inches of cut open rubber hose and metal water hose clamp.
>add some semi auto shotguns
This may barely be considered budget by now but anyone with a McJob can afford the cheaper semi autos with some saving up and restraint. Add the Mossberg 930 on the list as it seems to be the go to for reliable budget semis with an after market larger than sling swivels and one obscure company making a picatinny side saddle clamp thing that may or may not actually fit.
>ammo choices
A quick write up on why the $20 100 round pack of bird shot is fucking retarded when dealing with a hopped up jamal or paco.
Also explain why some one who suggest bird shot because "it totally wont over penetrate interior walls" is a mouth breather and that you can't have your dead dindu and keep your drywall too.
>places to avoid
In addition to the good places to buy crap from we should list places to avoid buying from. Stores like Big5. Dicks, Bass Pro, and Cabelas as they only ever sell at MSRP and only go down when a sale pops up once a year (also move cheaper than dirt here fuck them)

Another leaf here. The premise of our infographic is going to be different because of different laws. For Americans, they're going to want compacts and carry guns for their pistols. AR's are a dime a dozen and they're unregistered in most states, etc. I'll try and categorize some shit as a baseline starting point.
Pistols: Duty sized, steel/alumnminim frame is a plus, a rail for a THOT detector is wonderful.
Some entry level options include:
>Canik: Has rail. Double stack. Duty Sized. Plastic. Good ergos. Comes with 3 mags and some other cool shit.
>Toks: Cheap to feed. Reliable. Built like a tank. 7.62x25 is respectable. No rail. Steel frame.
>M&P: Is like a Glock, but $200 cheaper up here. Multiple calibers available.
>Steyr: Is like a Glock but better, but is also going up in price every time I look at them.
>Norincoshit: Cheap knockoffs with a reputation for reliability. Some of their Sig clones have better triggers than actual Sigs, but all of them have shit finish. Handling one before purchase is almost a must.
After that you're going to start getting into the $750-$1000 range and at that point, your options really open up. CZ, Arsenal, H&K, Walther, etc.
Long Guns:
>Dominion Arms/Norinco M1A's. Poor fit and finish, deadnuts reliable. Norinco is chambering M1A's in 7.62x39 now too.
>SKS. Yes.
>Norinco/Dominion Arms AR's. Cheap. Reliable. Also Restricted, so…
>Mosin. No. Not worth the same price as an SKS. Stop fucking buying them.
After that you're getting into the $1000 range. NEA15's, Colt ARs, Tikka bolt guns, CZ bolt guns, Henry levergats, etc.
Shotguns:
>Dominion Arms. Pump actions only, and stay away from box mag fed shit.
>Armsan Weatherby clones. Cheap. Reliable.
>Norinco coach gun. Double barrel SBS, what's not to love.
>Armsan break action shotguns. Literally $200 for a single shot break action 12ga brand new. Small and compact backpacking models available.
>Mossberg 500 series. Personally I think spending the extra money on the 590A1 is worth it.
>Stay the fuck away from Remington.
After that you're getting into the $1000 range and things like the Derya Mk12 become available.
That's just my two cents though. My format's probably shit, but I've got to get some sleep before work so I don't want to be here longer than I already have.

Honestly, this right here, minus the compact handguns (because liberals are scared of .380acp and guns that are difficult to shoot accurately) is pretty well spot on. The prices are different up here, but we can get most of that shit. Just crop the compacts out and add the Caniks and Norincos. As for the rifles and shotguns, just expand them a little to add Norincos/DominionArms and we're good.

>Looking at your chart, 5.56 only tumbles (really it just yaws) when they use AP bullets.
You have to remember though that those are when the bullet is travelling through ballistics gel, hitting a thin barrier like a drywall wont cause the bullet to fragment in mid-air on the other side but rather it will cause it to destabilise and start tumbling.
In this vid the .223 doesn't fragment and holds together through 10 layers of drywall, it does start keyholing though. The drywall being that close together does make a difference and if the sheets were spaced apart like what they would be in a room then the bullet would penetrate less sheets.

So this thread was made…
and I'm very piqued to see this list get updated
I don't have much to add since I've only ever owned 2 guns and shot 4. and 3 of them were made for hunting. My pistol is a .22, so I'm interested in getting a 9mm, so I could use a list like this
but my guess is this list is only gonna change if a single /k/ommando decides to change it all himself.
in terms of formatting, I think the pictures should be smaller, the dumb jokes should be taken out. like 50% of the info doesn't matter and I feel like a lot of useful info is missing. I also Don't see any problem with making the picture massive so as to fit more guns on it.
Also this pic was made a while ago too. But 0 info and most are too expensive for people who require self defense

Here's what I was using to base my claims off of:
http://how-i-did-it.org/drywall/results.html
I think I was misremembering since I read it a while ago. 5.56 will definitely shoot through a wall but it isn't going to go through several walls unless you use heavier loads.
Still, even more reason that OP shouldn't put "won't kill your kids if you miss," since that's only going to be true if your kids are on the other side of the house and behind several walls.

Some are polymer frame, they also do the traditional steel frame. You also have to distinguish the EAA Tanfoglio Witnesses from the turkish CZ clones they also import.
The poly Witnesses are probably the best bang for your buck going now, it's just a shame they're all built on the large frame and don't take standard CZ-75 mags. The plus side is that with a slide/mag swap you can put anything from .22lr to 10mm and .38 Super.

I started typing something of that caliber a while back. Then I got shit to do and gave up halfway.
here is the dump if you want it:
================
Handgun if you intend to carry it on your person at the ready at any time to go out fighting.
Litteraly the only advantage of a pistol is being small. If you don't make use of that size, better get something with more accuracy, firepower, and capacity.
Shotgun if you want a home/car "FUCK NOPE" option, but plan on disengaging/getting help from the cops before the situation gets into a siege.
[spoiler] Shotguns have great stopping power and psychological impact at close range, and lose their dangerousness at longer range or through barriers. This last point is a good thing when fighting from your car/in your home. [spoiler]
Rifle, intermediate caliber if you plan to engage aggressively and for relatively extend fights, wether it's to get in, or out of a situation, or someone trying to get in, or out from multiple possible angles.
Assault Rifles (In the broad sense of the term) is something light so you can manoeuver with it quickly and have great ammo capacity so you can afford to miss and squeeze in the panic of an intense fight.
Rifle, full caliber if you expect to fight a battle and engage multiple opponents.
[spoiler] The term of "battle rifle" is to be taken litteraly.
7.62x has great availability, good lethality (even when the target has access to medical care and you won't be able to finish him off), is great at penetrating barriers, and has good range.
You use those when you need to make every shot count, but have time to think, manoeuver, and aim, but not /that/ much time. [/spoiler]
Go for bolt action sniper caliber (.308 is good enough for beginners) if you intend to take down strategically important targets (and I don't necessarily mean peoples.)
Nothing much to say, remember to practice right obviously, and know that taking the shot is only part of a good op. Everything else is planning for the worst. lapua is for rich kids, you'll get more accuracy out of practice than hardware, and you''ll get more practice out of shit-tier cheap-ass ammo.
Also, PDW are great if you plan to /avoid/ trouble, but plan to fight all teeth out if the battle comes to you.
PS:
War > Battle > Assault > Fight.
Flee - Attack - Defend.
Knows where you are, and what you are doing.
Have a plan, stick to it. But a good plan is one that can be thrown out the window at any moment.
Should we remake an infographic on gun selection, as things are heating up?

I do agree and removing all the shitty attempts at humor and putting the full of garbage section to include things like the Hi-Point and anything made under Bushmaster or Taurus.
Some suggestions you could make towards the shotguns is to remove the Rustington and have the Mossberg act as the sole premium option and add the Interstate Arms Hawk 981r/982 as another budget shotgun at the same price as the H&R Pardner. It's functionally another 870 clone made by the same company that makes the Pardner but instead of a humpback the 981r has a rail and front bead and the 982 has an adjustable ghost ring sight. I guess for a premium rifle option you could add WASRs considering they're now $600 new. It might be too expensive for most poorfriends but it shouldn't be too difficult to find a used one that works fine and is aligned.
>Any recommendations for hearing protection
Surefire Defenders are solid. It's small enough to be used underneath earmuffs and it has a cord that connects the two earplugs. However they come in 3 different sizes and you may need to try them out in order to find out which one fits you. Depending on the size/color it will cost you anywhere between $20-$30. For earmuffs you could go to any hardware store and get earmuffs designed for use with jackhammers.

Just because a gun is ugly and handles like a clunky nigger doesn't mean it's garbage. A hi-point is more reliable than it franky deserves to be, but it is, and if it means a poorfag having a reliable firearm versus not having a firearm (or one that would get you killed) then you can hardly call it garbage. I'm not saying it's "good," just that "garbage" is a bit unfair.
Personally I'd rather have a hi-point than a taurus.

No, that's a .50 cal sabot round loaded with a modern .44 cal bullet.
You want something like: http://www.midwayusa.com/product/1165132904/hornady-muzzleloading-bullets-round-ball
or the conical equivalent. Also note inside the caliber designation there are still different bullet sizes, in .44 cal you have .433, .451, and .454 just for example. You want to mic the bore and get what's closest to the actual bore size before you start loading.

I really can't think of any less expensive new production guns for a list like this. Henry's are great, but this isn't 1860 so you should have a loading gate on a serious use firearm.

If it's a mossberg style where the safety is mounted on top it becomes annoying to have to remove one of your hands and operate it. But if it's mounted by the trigger guard (the savage has this style) you can operate it by extending your finger like most other guns. Other than the safety and what you talked about it really comes down to personal preference and what kind of angles the gun has, but the pistol grip gives you a bit more control while the rifle grip is more comfortable. A bit of this comes from people who didn't specify pistol grip only shotguns and mixing them up with pistol grip with stock.
>>509546

Yes there is. Instead of having some fag asking the millionth time "what gun do I buy" we have something that isn't a dog shit list or "just buy the nugger" to refer to. Besides would you really just tell a friend to buy a gun without any tips or bearing on where to search? What if they come back home with an I.O. AK? That's like telling your daughter to meet a nice guy and have kids then she comes back with a malformed retard baby and a daddy that gets excited when he sees my little pony come on.

Felt like this was the appropriate thread.
I got my Bersa for a great deal (Bersa Thunder, nickel finish) at $110 off a guy who needed cash (gun is clean). I'm looking at purchasing a SAR B6P/EAA Witness in the future.
However, as I have shot this Bersa at the range quite a bit, I'm unsure whether it's worth replacing in my SHTFF bag and to reinvest elsewhere.
The Bersa was keeping up distance and accuracy wise with my friend's Glock 19. I have nothing against purchasing another pistol, and I like the 9mm due to the ballistics and ease of finding it should we get into a situation where one needs to scavenge for ammo.
I'm also looking to getting the Stevens 12 gauge with pistol grip.

Spellcheck for an infographic is pretty important to remember.
I'd almost consider including single shot ball-and-cap guns unnecessary. Almost LARP tier unless that's the only fun you can get. I'd think it more worth it to include some milsurp pistol instead unless shit like makarovs and tokarevs went the way of the mosin and sks and got memed into stupid prices.
Needs better formatting, you seem to be too concerned with keeping the image narrow. Look at the 2015 edition, it has everything spread out just enough that you don't have the rifle section bleeding into the same column as the pistol section, some punch set right below a pistol making it look like it's part of the category. Spread out, even in the era of 4:3 and 5:4 monitors this is too narrow, while still being too high res either way for phonefagging.
Try adding some information to the trash/garbage/shit listing for the shotgun and rifle categories, explain why those companies are shit. Something basic like the handgun's "poorly made, blow up in your hands" will suffice. People not already in the know will probably wonder why your'e saying Cerberus/Freedom group are bad and might dismiss it and the infographic entirely if their conclusion is "muh brand competition".

Almost identical to the Walther PPK. Snappy recoil, stupidly heavy double-action trigger, very light audible reset, unexpected single-action trigger that's incredibly light, safety that doubles as a decocker, hammer block safety, worthless ironsights, and heavy enough to beat someone's head in if you run out of magazines.
On the plus side, all types of ammunition will feed with no problem.

They don't like Hornady's self-defense loads but work fine with everything else. Hammer bite is a major problem if you like having a high grip on pistols. The mag release is almost a push-button, so it's much quicker than a Makarov as well. Ergonomics are okay, think of a P-38(which the gun copies pretty well). Slide release is decent - I wouldn't worry about it causing malfunction because the shape of the slide cut pulls it back a short distance before it releases.

Added Federal Trophy Bonded Bear Claw for rifle ammo per Dr. Gary Robert's data. Also added a note under Mossberg 500/590 that Mossberg 930 can sometimes be found under 400 (it's not a consistent low, but a big enough upgrade it's worth noting)

Good info, I'd recommend the 590s over 500s too because if you buy a new one you need to replace the action slide tube assembly to upgrade the forend. We should also split the graph up based on the restriction class of firearm.

Can some french here do a list for France?
It would be best if it stays in the C categorie (I like to own my guns).
I would make three categories: 22lr, cal12 and some "high" hunting calibre like 308.
What I purpose, but I don't know if it's really that good (everything is more expensive in france):
22lr: cz 452
cal12: Maverick 88
Big caliber: savage axis heavy canon 308. (it's around 550 here)
What do you think about it?
I would want guns for the "happening". cal12 for close range, 308. for 200-400m, 22lr for training and maybe giving it to a "light" member of family when it happens.
Where do you advice to buy? The most known gunshop online, local shops, or used on?
Thanks.

You can/should throw on the ruger american rifles in .300BLK/5.56MM as inexpensive and generally awesome rifles. Factory threaded, pic top, and usually ~300- 250.
I really wanna get one in .300BLK, stick a reflux can on it, and put an aimpoint or an eotech on it for maximum tacticool.
Anyway, I'm tempted to make an infographic for building the best AR you can for the least hassle. Any interest? I'm not a pro but I have spent a very long time figuring out the parts combos that let you put together a truly factory grade rifle in your garage for the least amount of money, and I've gone through 4-5 builds of constant improvement to figure it out properly.

I'd put Cooey guns on that list. Made in Canada and all are less than $200. Plenty of Turkish guns are cheap as shit, downside is that you're buying a Turkish gun. Norchinko M305 and M305a are decent, just make sure not to buy from (((Marstar))). We used to get dirt cheap SVTs and K11s, but the supply's dried up and now they go for $600 at the cheapest.

Also, does anyone have a source for makarovs under $280 except for classic firearms? Classic has them for $275 but once they run out I'm afraid it's just going be be a bunch of $400 maks of gunbroker from now on (barring, of course, a new influx of maks from overseas at an unknown future date).
I'm so disappointed with the milsurp jews who buy guns at sub $300 just to sell them $4-600 hundred on gunbroker. I missed out on a cheap sks and got a mak without any accessories for cheap but original mags are $50/each. Fantastic.
Last thing: buy a bulgarian mak from classic for $275 before they dry up. I have a feeling you will never see them for under $400 again with the current, sad surp market trend

So here's my EU/France draft:
HOW TO GET GUNS: EU Edition.
So, first, the top laws are from the European Union.
Each country is supposed to have applied them by now, with the option to "regulate" /more/, but not less. UK has a LOT more regulations for examplen but that being said a lot of eastern countries basing their defense on civilians reserve have work arounds…
France has applied textbook EU regulations, nothing less, nothingmore and I am French, so those are the one I am going to explain here.
Gun are classed into categories.
CAT D: Anything that's vaguely dangerous but not gun powder-based, or any gun made before 1901, or something like that. Basically airgun, crossbows and blackpowder guns.
CAT C: Non-self loading (aka pump or bolt action), long (>70cm total, >41cm barrel), rifled guns. Except if chambered in:
CAT B: 5.56, 12.7, 7.62x39, "handgun calibers" and probably a couple I forgot.
Anything below 70cm total, or barrel shorter than 41cm.
Any and all self-loading (semi-auto) guns.
Cat A: Full auto, >20mm calibers, explosives, tactical nukes.
You can not carry any weapon, no matter the categorie, and you may only transport them between private property and shooting clubs.
The difference between carry and transport being defined by the gun/weapon being immediately usable or not. Ammo need to stay separate, but separate is very vague and the jurisprudence tends to define it as "as long it's not inside the gun, it's fine.", so throwing everything in a single backpack is alright.
For cat D you need an ID, and that's it. Most powerful airguns/blackpowder guns may be registered at buy time, but nobody gives a fuck since you can sell it right back.
For Cat C you need the same thing, have your shooting license (so be part of a club) or hunting license (wich is lifetime).
So you can get your hunting license if you don't want to be bothered ever again, but you should train up anyway, so don't whine and pay up.
Registered at buy time, and that's it.
For Cat B: You need to be part of a shooting club, and have 3 controlled shootings in the last year, each separated by two months at least. Basically go to your club staff whenever you think about it, and have them stamp the thing.
Then fill out the bazillion pages of bullshit, wait for 2 months, and wait your authorization the mail.
You get 3 at a time, and they don't specify if it's to convert a .22 to semi auto or get a drum-mag .50cal, so they are ALWAYS accepted, unless you shouldn't even be allowed near a gun in the first place.
Then go to your gunshop, and same thing as cat C.
For Cat A: You will need to be a registered terrorist, a millitary contractor, or part of some shady CIA-funded black ops.
Contact me after wiring 1Mil to my account, and I will get you in the program.
BUT THAT DOESNT TELL ME WICH GUN TO GET.
Alright you nigger.
This is deserving of its own thread, but in short:
When in doubt, buy CZ.
If you want something fun still kinda usefull, maybe, look at Chiappa's bullshit.
If you want to make holes in paper, checkout Mossberg, Savage, Remington, sort by price lowest first, take the coolest-looking one.
If the idea of sorting by lowest price first disgust you, do the same but with Tikka/Sako.
For anything else, come back to /k/.
But seriously. When in doubt, buy CZ.

IF you can find a walther PPX for sale, it's better and cheaper. They had an extremely quality trigger, decent mag cap, and a very comfy set of ergos, they just looked like a glock made gay buttsex babies with a Hi-point.
Also, the CCP is sort of garbage. Lots of quality control issues and a few serious errors that can make the pistol not safe.
If you're willing to feel slimy, the S&W glock clone (The SDVE or whatever they call it now) is inside the price range, but I dunno about it's quality.

Российские технологии времен дореволюционной руси 19 века, прошедшие вторую мировую войну. Были изготовлены миллионы экземпляров. Раньше можно было купить меньше чем за 100 долларов с кучей аксессуаров в придачу. А теперь цена выросла и качество скатилось в сраное говно, даже примочек и додрочек не найдешь. В целом добротная винтовка, хотя очень тяжелая и длинная. Жрет дешевые патроны, что очень полезно в плане обороны. Если промажешь, то пулей распидорасит все стены, все стены соседа, даже все стены аллаха. Впрочем даже если попадешь то пуля всё равно может вылететь с другой стороны и начать пидорасить стены. Затвор может заедать, да. Надо все тщательно вычищать, потому что винтовка из консервации приходит обмазанная тоннами старого космолина. Если прицепить штык, то получится эдакое копье.

>Heel release is horrible. There's an aftermarket grip, FAB Defense PM-G, that takes a bit of effort to fit but has a mag release on the side that hooks into the heel release.

Shit and wesson full sized guns are usually around $300 and tend to cause glock fanboys ass pain in terms of cost. One choice is the M&P line which is the new hot shit these days that or springfield XD. but fuck springfield it has a polymer frame with a rail for lights and a few bucks more gets you night sights. It's mags tend to go on sale in the high $20s range every now and then.
Another is the SD9VE. VE standing for Value Enhanced is of course the "VALUE" model which is weird because an M&P can be had for around the same price region. Compared to the M&P its just blockier and two tone as opposed to being just black or desert colored. Mags are in the same situation for the M&P, normally high $30s and goes on sale in the $20s. Both guns however have the same issue that you don't like which is the trigger safety **everyone wants to be
a glock killer. So that means making a gun that isn't overpriced and feels good in the hand but people will still buy glocks due to super cheap mags that will be in stock every where even at the end of time**
You can do as >>520465 says and look for a police trade in CZ Just know that CZs get snatched up quick so be ready to buy suddenly when you just so happen to be browsing gun websites. If not a CZ then just try police trade in's in general you can find everything from lightly used Glocks to barely touched SIGs and almost new Berettas.

>You can get it for 100 bucks before transfer. Uses a loading gate and ejector rod so takes forever to reload. Revolver manual of arms is pretty different to semi-auto. Illegal to sell in South Carolina, Illinois, Minnesota, Hawaii and New York City due to remnants of laws designed to keep recently freed blacks from owning guns.
>22 conversion (Glock or CZ variant)
Allows you to keep the same trigger and reload technique as your main gun (If it's a Glock or CZ), and can be mailed to your door. Only exist for Glocks and CZ made guns ("Kadet") and the best Glock ones (Advantage Arms) have become unobtainum.
(I've never heard of any others in common production. Are there any?).
(section)
>22 versions of bigger guns
These are essentially the manufacture's full size and/or compact pistol but in 22LR. These are all roughly the same quality so if get a gun that's the nearest to your main handgun if you have have one.
(Is there any other substantial difference worth mentioning?)

It'd probably help if you gave us an upper cost limit.
If you're willing to go for ~600 get an M&P9.

Deffinitiely add the Zastava EZ9.
Got it in Canada for $550, I'm sure burgers can get it for under $400 USD

Any suggestions for what I can do with the blank space by the sample setups (either moving those up or down)?

Alright this is great but my eyes aren't what they used to be. Can we make one so that when you zoom in you can read it?
I'm talking like a 4K wallpaper type thing.
picrelated, it's me zooming in because my eyes are shit.

A bit more finessing and you could trademark it as a poster and sell it to firearms shops.
Movies have IMDB to rate them, why can't there be a STRELOK organization to rate guns?

Jpgs are encouraged by the CIA to destroy evidence and by the jews to shave pennies off hosting costs.
Don't be a CIAJEW.

I actually found that saving it as a jpg resulted in a higher file size than saving it as a png, so I I had no reason not to go PNG.

Why is no one talking about shotgun adapters??
They are relatively inexpensive and can turn any single or double barrel boomstick into über scavenger, perfect for SHTF.

Getting brass cased stuff out of the adapter can be a real bitch.

He mentions at 2:05 that they have grooves for easy brass removal. For anything harder to extract you could use a rod

I noted that, I just don't like having to dig casing out with the bottle opening on a multitool/swiss army knife.
e622b6 No.526957
>>526955
Slight inconvenience when compared to versatility that they provide. In long to no time limit prepping those adapters are the bees knees of any poorfags bug out location or when packed into a BOB/INCH bag.

>What are gloves
Once again, this is a SHTF accessory. Primitive but pretty much bombproof and in survival situation even one shot at close range can be a difference between life and death

They have rims at the end so you can use any thin metal object to pull it out
