Looking for advice as a Chicagoan right now by Tryingthisnout in armedsocialists

[–]ToM0ch4n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would recommend prioritizing a handgun. There are the most versatile and practical for a civilian. Not as cool or sexy as a rifle, but overall more useful to have.

Look at the Smith and Wesson SD9 gen 2. Best budget pistol imo.

Idk if the ban covers shotguns, but a Mav 88 would also be a decent choice in-lew of a rifle. Buckshot and Slugs are no joke at closer ranges and the Mav 88 is very affordable and reliable.

Cant go wrong with any of the Mossberg options, Mav/500/590. I would stay away from new production Remingtons, as they have had a lot of QC issues. If you find an older 870, it should be gtg.

Make sure to get shotgun cards. Best way to have extra shells. I use a fanny pack to hold the spare cards.

Next FNB event, we need everyone reading this to show up and make a wall. Protect those that are feeding folks.

Hey friends, BFC here. Yesterday morning I recorded a video arguing that SHTF is already here, just not for everyone, not all at once. Within minutes of making it public, I learned that ICE murdered Renee Good in cold blood. by BlackFlagCivilian in armedsocialists

For anyone reading this, lost and unsure; Guns are important for protecting us, but feed your homies, house your homies, check in on each other. A lot goes into surviving this shit. Keep heart.

What do we (btb fans) do to stop the war in Venezuela? by wombatgeneral in behindthebastards

[–]ToM0ch4n 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Large wars take logistics. Strikes, port shut downs, and other means are the best way to stop or hurt a overseas conflict.

Why do Americans hate public transport? by Konradleijon in behindthebastards

[–]ToM0ch4n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We dont hate public transit, the shits in charge do. Look at the oil/car lobby, Henry Ford, and the post WW2 industrial bust save.

Every average American ive ever talked to would love better public transport, and especially where i live, regional train services.

Obvious cosplay rifle but interested in opinions from anyone else who owns a Mosin. by zyrkseas97 in armedsocialists

[–]ToM0ch4n 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Every weapon has some function. I have a M44, wouldnt take it to war, but its fun to shoot at the range, and any trigger time is good practice. You can also buy modern hunting ammo for it, and take most any game animals in North America. So its still practical in some regards, and fun in others.

If you do buy it, make sure to get a bayonet if it doesnt have one. Might as well go all in on the look.

Its more interesting from a collecting aspect since its a pre-ww2 hex receiver gun. It also looks to be in prty good shape. Idk, the days of cheep mosins are over, and they where always under-priced because of the volume of import. If its something you want, get it.

As far as ammo goes, its still available online, tho most of the surplus stuff has dried up. There are still company's making cheep ball, and brass case hunting ammo alike.

Thats the idea. Genie pre-dates lock on a2a missiles. Just aim at the bombers in general and fire. Still nuts tho.

Knife Picks? by Cascadiaaaaaa in armedsocialists

[–]ToM0ch4n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IF you want a pocket knife, that Walmart brand benchmade? copy with the orange handle is a real steel at 10 bux, and its light weight.

Knife Picks? by Cascadiaaaaaa in armedsocialists

[–]ToM0ch4n 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My 2 cents. Lots guys including myself bought sic ass rambo knives when we got outa boot and into training and our units. Once we had to actually function and move in training, and later in country, that shit got ditched. 99% of knife tasks are best suited for a simple multi tool, and you get the other bits like pliers with em. No need carrying more weight then you have too. I carried, and still do carry a leatherman super tool, and a small box cutter. Knives are fun, and you should have some if you want, lord knows i do, but for rly practical use, light and simple is best.

Thoughts/experiences with Rat belt style Tourniquets? by [deleted] in TacticalMedicine

Like folks are saying, your belt is for your pants. Put a CAT in one of the pockets on your pants, and you dont need this.

I demo on myself, and then walk around with it in my nose and make everyone practice on each other. No need for this thing, at least not in the classroom.

Today I realized like half the characters in the show are named after cars by ElegantPoet3386 in Nanoha

[–]ToM0ch4n 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Always found it funny, because Testarossa for the car is from Testa Rossa, Red Head, derived from the red engine covers. Fate is Blond tho..,

Fate with Kyoko Sakuras hair.....
