/k/ - Weapons

You are now ready to face off against the entire world. You can thank me later.

Fore is the oldest and most reliable weapon mankind has used against spooks in the woods.

Or you could use one of those special german knives that protect against evil.

>Big bore shotgun - 12 bore won't really cut it here

>sling

You do realize that the reason that people use firearms instead of man arms is that man arms cannot sling pieces of metal at super sonic speeds, right?

Also

>Sidearm: Glock 20 or 40. Hard cast will give you over 5 feet of gel penetration.

>Primary: An intermediate cartridge with a large capacity and autoloading action, a fill sized rifle cartridge with a moderate capacity and an autoloading capacity, a 12ga

>Ammunition: Yes

>Misc: Snacks, a mirror, a box of salt, condoms, anal lube and some antibiotic cream and alcohol wipes.

Ez

>intermediate cartridge

Hey! Let's use a cartridge that can't be trusted to kill a human on the first shot against a 12 ft tall pillar of angry cryptobiology! What could possibly go wrong?!?!

>MUH SUPERSONIC METAL

an 8-bore, 2000 grain, Minie Ball or slug does not need to break the sound barrier to carry lethal energy or have a reliable effect on the target.

Come on, Africa has already figured everything for you and you are still trying to cosplay 19th century?

>>632178

Did you think we were hunting them for sport or culling them with the intent to exterminate them?

>>632201

I thought the intent was to capture them for monster waifu trafficking.

A popular weapon against witches, wind demons, elves and other things in pre enlightenment Germany were the so called "Hexenmesser/Drudenmesser"(Witchknife).

Some of them are just simply knifes used for every day tasks, others are expensive and decorated with silver, many have INRI carved somewhere on the knife, some feature the pentagram and/or drudengatter and other symbols, but the one combining feature all these blades have is the nine X and nine C on one side of the blade.

How or why the nine C and nine X work against evil entities nobody knows anymore, sometimes the nine X are called crosses or stars and the nine C are always called moons. Common says back then were that "Neun Kreuz und neun Stern halten alles Übel fern”(Nine Crosses and nine Stars keep all Evil away) or "Neun Stearn und neun Mun greifen alle Teufel un!"(Nine Stars and nine Moons attack all Devils).

The knife works like a charm against witches, demons, elves and other evil entities simply by wearing it, but can also protect a house by ramming it in the door or the roof beams. However if that doesn't work, there is also the obvious solution and using that knife to kill the evil entity simply by throwing the knife at them.

Alternative make a club from buckthorn wood that is said to have similar characteristics against the power of evil magic user and entities

And if you're on a trip for extermination of the beast but scared that your trusty gun won't be enough or you'll fuck up shot placement there's still a weapon potent enough for any foe.

If there is such things as cryptids you'd have to be a literal retard to go with the meme advice in this thread. Fucking knives, silver, random engravings vs campfire story tier monster that can basically break the laws of reality. The only thing that would legit stop a supernatural creature is a massive caliber. a 20mm, almost any AT rifle, explosives, anything that obliterates a large amount of mass.

>he thinks he can get a clear shot on a skinwalker

Are you some kind of nigger? Only a nigger could be that stupid.

>>634346

I'd imagine it was the ghost of Império do Brasil, beseeching you to conquer Uruguay and wreak vengeance on the successor state to the Provincias Unidas del Río de la Plata.

Weapons, bullets and especially (You) should get blessed by a Greek or Serbian Orthodox monk.

Make sure the monk is 70 years old minimum and has lived in a Monastery away from civilization for 50 years minimum. Most priests who live in big cities are degenerates and probably communist are well. God only loves true hardcore genocidal /r9k/-tier monks and those cannot be found in towns.

Pic related is what a good monk looks like.

God hates priests, and Satan loves them. They are LARPers who take your money and fuck whores. Monks on the other hand hate the jews and have superpowers. Cryptids cannot harm them.

Or you could do it /k/-style, you know, by being muscle wizards instead.

>>634488

You seem to be mistaken, instead of bulking muscles a true kommando needs endurance to haul more ammunition into battle and keep the gun ready at all times.

>>634491

>What classes are we talking about here?

Machine gunner, grenadier, artilleryman, general. You know, the true /k/ stuff.

>>634494

And I've just noticed that it's an MG34.

Well obviously you should research what specifically you're hunting/worried about and choose your weapon accordingly but that said I think your main armaments should be a reliable shotgun and a semi auto rifle in a full sized caliber, preferably with a detachable magazine. Bolt or lever rifles can also be used if you're supremely confident in your marksmanship. Round that out with a machete or very large knife since some cryptids are more/only susceptible to good old fashioned slash and chop.

Now the shotgun really is key because of its versatility it can shoot not just standard rounds like buck or rifled slugs but also incendiary (dragonsbreath) and homemade shells with salt, various herbs, cold iron balls or silver pellets. Now on that last one you might be thinking "ha I'll just cast some silver bullets" well thats where you're wrong child, simple silver bullets don't work in rifled guns because silver is much harder than lead or copper and will best case scenario destroy your rifling and could easily lead to a squib round. Sure you could make copper jacketed silver bullets but do you honestly have the knowledge and tools to do so?

Now beyond weapons there are many physical protections you could enact. I recommend at the minimum a bracer and protective glove for your left arm although full armoring up through your shoulder is probably not the worst idea. This is so that when you find yourself in close quarters yes I said when not if you have something to protect yourself with from bites and slashes. Beyond armor there are many protective charms and useful herbs or substances that can ward off certain creatures, these tend to be very specific though so I can not make general recommendations.

Finally a cryptid hunting expedition is much like any hunting expedition you will need a really good pair of boots, climate appropriate clothing, navs, coms, water, food, supplies, etc… Be prepared to spend several days if not weeks out at a time before you even catch a whiff of your quarry. Stay safe Strelok and good hunting.

All of you dun fucked up. Things that have seen some fucked up shit have no fear of the spooks innawoods, nor should the folk who wield them either.
