>>61656292Sometimes sellers will catfish their own auctions with fake bids, either to artificially drive the price up or terminate the auction without having to pay fees. It's not that common but you should be aware. MOST people wait until the last day or especially the last 15-30 minutes to bid at all, but that doesn't necessarily indicate tomfoolery. Side note: the "15 minute rule" means any bid placed within 15 minutes of auction end resets the end timer to 15 minutes. Instead of bidding in lumps, you can exploit this by placing a +$5 bid every 14 minutes to drag the auction out for potentially hours in order to outlast other bidders who have to go they ass to bed for work tomorrow. :)I don't recall seeing any outright scams but do look closely at pictures, and make sure it's the actual thing you're bidding on. A lot of sellers will batch list stuff all with the same photo, and when you're dealing with surp/copsurp especially you need to see the exact unit you're paying money for. If you suspect the image is a duplicate or worse let lifted from an unrelated forum auction from 10 years ago, ask for new photos.Sometimes you can outboomer boomers; if they have an auction that hasn't sold after multiple listings because their price is retarded, message them and say you'd like to bid if the opening bid was [much lower than you want to pay]. Or you can exploit the same situation by asking them to buy outright, outside of Gunbroker, once the auction ends with 0 bids. They'll want to save fees.Otherwise, what anon said
>>61656357>The real deals hide behind money orders since most people are too lazy to go to the post office to mail itIm actually looking at a couple guns that were underpriced and locked behind a call with my cc or a money order.Does a 300 sale vendor seem fishy?
>>61656502Is it possible recourse to get catfished for a factory new gun?Like if its listed as factory new but they clearly send you a used gun is there any recourse?
Is there any downside to having a SRT?I remember reading somewhere that the trigger being lighter means it effects how hard the hammer hits the firing pin meaning if it was too light you could have light primer strikesIm not sure if it was a specific model of gun due to internal mechanisms or if its basically all hammer fired guns
If I want to see if I like red dots what gun and red dot should I get?

ITT: Your childhood arms
>>61649997I used to hang around the neighbourhood of two friends which was divided in half by a creek. Our north side had the better shops, playground and lake. Crossing the creek was forbidden. Older kids from the south side would constantly cross to fish in the lake, buy sweets and harass our women. Originally, it was all very silly, but after another kid was tackled into the reeds, got wet and hit one of the Southies, it all turned violent. At 10 years old my friends and I had made crossbows and were systematically roaming the streets on our bikes, crossbows made from dowel, steel rulers and surgical tubing in our saddle-bags, steel cooking skewers filed to points on the concrete as our bolts. We wrapped cool looking tree-branches in electrical tape to use as cudgels and kept bags of lemons and river rocks as stand-off weapons. These skirmishes lasted for fucking weeks and we lived in periods of total paranoia. It all came to a head a few years later when they started ambushing us with rocks and stole a poor friend's bike, knowing he could never afford another one. I stole my dad's old bayonet, ambushed a few of them and threatened to gut them and leave them in the reeds for their friends to find, then stole two of their bikes and gave them to my friend and his sister. After that parents got involved and apparently my graphic description of decapitating one of them gave him PTSD. My friends all kept a wall of silence and protected my identity.All this because we couldn't resolve our differences with a watergun fight. Why? My mum said I wasn't allowed toy guns because they glorified violence.
>>61655758Lord of the Flies. I made three javelins with diagonally cut rebar and broken broomsticks and put them in a golf bag to carry on my back Roman-style at the age of 7-8, thankfully our neighborhood garrison never had to deal with interlopers.

No one really thought about form swords till much later on.>>61650898Yeah, the way I and everyone else in the neighborhood was fighting was particularly dumb and we ran out of darts often so we always kept a few sticks as melee's around. I had a particularly curved one I pretended was a sabre.>>61655179False surrender is a war crime dude.>>61655364>>61655368Whew fucking lad actually delivered.

>video of part of a drone swarm hitting the oil refinery in Tuapse, Krasnodar Krai on May 17thwhere's the air defense?has russia just given up on defending themselves from drones?
>>61649588>swarm hitting the oil refineryGas price in Russia where refineries are hit on the daily basis - 0,50€/lGas price in EU where there is no war - 2€/lWhere does that 1,50€ difference go, is someone pocketing that?
>>61650051>nitrates, which are another major product of a refinery, and are needed to make the propellant and explosive charges in everything from rifle cartridges to artillery shellsNo worries. China is shipping thousands of tons of nitrocellulose & other nitrates into pozzia. More interesting: how is pozzia paying for that?

How does 25mm direct fire shit on 120mm direct fire in all scenarios?It also seems that the Bradley is the only thing on the battlefield(in ukraine) that performs how it was designed for originally.post bradley kino pls
>>61656549Now do the actual total numbers and not made up percentages, sister.
>>61654856Ukraine got what 180 and over 100 are destroyed.It's ugly, goofy piece of equipment and it preforms the same as it looks.
>>61654958>this is true but it like saying a Burke is not a warship because it is not a Battleshipwarship is a broad term comparable to AFVtank is a specific term, comparable to battleshipa burke is a warship, but not a battleship,and is a destroyera bradley is an AFV, but not a tank, but is an IFV
>>61656586JUST LIE!Repeat the lie often enough and someone will believe it!Is it not, Putin slave?It doesn't matter what's true or right. Just have to control the narrative, right?
>>61654926the optimal ratio for offensive units is 2 abrams to 1 bradthe optimal ratio for defensive units is 2 brads to 1 abramsthis is literally how US ABCTs are organized, with armor and mech infantry only existing in combat teams of both unitsand they actually have 5 tank companies to 4 mech infantry companies, as they favor offensive maneuver over defensive ones as the latter is terrain dependent

Can Iranian air force compete with IAF in a confrontation?
>>61656543obviously notthe better question would be if Iranian air defense can seriously threaten IAF incursions
>>61656543Cruise missiles and other long range precision weaponz would cripple the Iranian Air Force and air bases as soon as a war with Israel started.
>>61656543 Oh god no ....
>>61656543No>>61656552No
The question people should be asking is does Iran already have a nuclear weapon. Because they're sure acting like they do.

Now that the dust has cleared and we can look back, what the FUCK were the thinking with this pattern? Almost feels like it was a joke from Congress or something, like a big shitpost
>>61642722why it's used up and colored by dirt and sand it's peak kino>MW2
>>61651882I had to wear this pattern for 8 years.I thought it was stupid at the time, but looking back, it wasn't like we were hiding most if the time.The enemy knew where we were and thanks to Raven and Shadow drones, we knew where (most) of them were.We might as well have been wearing blue 19th century uniforms.Most of the time I felt like a Star Wars. stormtrooper.It does decently in winter environments, especially in pine forests.Sage brush is where it excels so far that I thought it might have been tested in Yakima.It's reasonable in a western urban environment but not perfect.All and all, strangely aesthetic but absolutely garbage.

Wood vs Synthetic shotgun furniture?
>>61650408very punny
>>61647563Wood for style / display. Synthetic for anything else, I love my wood furniture for my 870 but I have it taken off so it can be preserved, and because I live far up north so I don't want it getting wrecked by the extreme freezing temperatures we get up here.So I just run polymer on it most of the time, I'm cringe though and run magpul furniture for my stock, fore-end and sling.
Wood is nice in terms of feel and color, but that shit cracks and wobbles. Synthetics, when decently made are the best for actual use. When I'm shooting trap and skeet, maybe going for a short rabbit walk, I'll bring the wood. But hunting and duty work its synthetic.
Wood looks so good. Makes me want to fondle the gun
>>61656076cracks and wobbles? a decent stock is a tight fit and can be used as a club.
cozy castles
>>61656470All three.Many were destroyed after being captured, not necessarily after a siege; it was just as common if not more for a castle to be surrendered, whereupon the invading army might choose not to garrison the castle for strategic reasons. In which case to deny its use to the enemy, they would break it up.That is what ultimately happened to Urquhart Castle, for example.Very many also fell apart due to neglect. This is especially common for British castles, because of the RELATIVE lack of war on those islands, other than say the Wars Of The Roses, the English Civil War, and the various Scottish rebellions. These sound like major exceptions, but it's really nothing like Continental Europe, where whatever wasn't destroyed in the Napoleonic Wars was finished off in WW1 and WW2.All buildings decay, all buildings need regular maintenance and upkeep.>https://www.reddit.com/r/AbandonedPorn/top/?t=allLastly, yes, the most common end for many fortifications across Europe, especially city fortifications, was dismantling by local townsfolk for use as building materials. Good masonry is hard to come by after all. In fact some castles were made of recycled bits of old castles. Foundations of ruined old castles were built upon, usable bricks were reused in new walls, and whatever rubble was not reusable was recycled by crushing and used as a filler between the walls of the new castle, which gave it strength, flexibility and resilience.
>>61656097Man i used to have a book like that, it hade castles, tanks, submarines, 18th century ships, cars, you fucking name it and it hade it, everything in a hyper detailed cross section explain alot of functions, book was bigger then most family bibles
>>61656517>castles, tanks, submarines, 18th century shipsmost likely Stephen Biesty's collection
>>61654789i feel like you gotta have a lone tower or something else bleak and imposing to truly lichmaxx, coziness just doesn't fit

>>61656210So are you saying that if fuel storage explodes that's bad for Russia?
>>61655669Russia have many MiG-31! Planes were old. Much better Su-57 is made now.
>>61655726That's probably their real goal...To just wear you down.

How common is it for guns to be strapped like this on IFVs and other vehicles?I think this is a BMD-2
>>61654172>>61655111Terrible idea it will be full of dust and will jam.
Someone stole a cool looking old gun and decided to take it with them, but couldn't fit it inside the compartment
>>61654878They've clearly used spare parts lying around to improvise the mount, how common are saddle rings in a russian vehicle depot?
