I've never actually been to a gun show, but I've been to a few knife shows. I imagine they're the same?

How's life?

I go to the trade shows at the convention centers.

>>3532057
I'm not OP, but I am a member of /k/.
Fairly good. Just relaxing for the weekend. How about you?

>>3532057
Hi!

I can't really say... I've never been to a knife show! But gun shows are generally heaving masses of fat, paranoid Bush-voters charging way too much for mediocre firearms and ammunition to obsessive-compulsive neckbeards in tactical gear. Sprinkled in that shit-fest are a few normal people who just like shooting sports and collecting neat old guns.

Is a knife show anything like that?

>>3532092

Pretty much, yeah, though around here it's more really old Native American guys selling pelts and Native-made knives. Then there's the WW2 vets that sit around and shoot the breeze with each other while selling the bayonets they stole from the Germans they killed, and usually the wall areas of the selling floor are reserved for museum-quality historical knife displays from around the world.

Shit's actually pretty neat.

Believe it or not, i used to go with my granddad to the gunshows in my area. I loved them, because of the kickass weaponry they had, not only guns. The knives, the swords, etc.
Ohgod, I wanted almost every last one of them.

OK... this is a bit of a reach across the table, but is anyone here into this?

/k/ gets a kick out of it. I doubt if it's something that, like, you could cosplay or whatever. But you never know.

I'm tryin' here.

>>3532116
>>3532118

Crap! That's, like, everything WE'RE into! And yeah, talking with WWII vets and looking at a bunch of old guns and swords and shit is SO FUCKING /k/, you have no idea.

Ok, I have to admit that I was skeptical of coming over here, but you lot seem pretty OK so far. I'm having a good time here.

Huh, well, /k/ommando here... I have never posted on this board before... so... um... I actually like Warhammer 40K cosplay, and if I ever did decide to get into that, it would probably be as a Space Marine or Inquisitor.

Um... I hope /cgl/ is ok with people who don't know much about their hobbies. I collect guns, that's what I know, and if you like the cosplay scene, then that is fine with me.

b-brofist?

/k/ommando here. Ok, I know Faye Valentine is a popular cosplay character... so here's this:

She carries a Glock 30. That kinda gets me a little firm

This man is cosplaying as a helicopter door gunner. He even gets a paycheck for it.

Hi there /k/, /cgl/-er here. This guy is about as close to someone from /k/ as we could ever cosplay. He's pretty cool. Looking to buy my own M-14 air-soft for a character from the same series eventually.

HEY!!! I just got a great idea!

The airsofters. We need to send the airsofters over here. Think about it: They play dress up. /toy/ doesn't want them. /cgl/ is FUCKING PERFECT!

What do you say, /cgl/? We've got a bunch of young, fit men who like to dress up in costumes and run around pretending to be someone else for a little while. We have no idea what to do with them.

Want 'em?

/k/ why are you so cute? All these posts are making me d'aww.

And I'm doing alright tonight. I installed Amnesia a couple hours ago and am still to scared to start playing. I'm such a puss.

Here are some cute animals for you guys.

Hey there, /k/.

You guys are pretty OK. I've only been over there once, but you helped me identify what exactly was up with the Civil War naval salute cannon that I had inherited. It's cooler knowing more about it. Thanks!

Your trolls also taught me to trigger discipline in cosplay pics unless I want the wrath of 100 /k/ommandos aimed in my direction. Thank you.

>>3532180
Yes, please. I love me some guys in uniform, even if they are just pretending to be awesome.

>>3532182
>Your trolls also taught me to trigger discipline in cosplay pics

SO.
FUCKING.
PROUD RIGHT NOW.

/manlytear

>>3532187
Bet!

You'll love these guys. They do a lot of running around and cardio, so they're thin and handsome.

In fact, you're welcome to come to /k/ and troll the fuck out of them. That shit would be epic.

>>3532181

>>3532181
Cute bunnies! Thank you!

Of course, most people on /k/ would just like to eat them-- but it's the thought that counts. Very hospitable of you.

>>3532204
>They do a lot of running around and cardio, so they're thin and handsome.
Oh trust me, I know. Met up with one of them once at a con actually and he was a looker. Unfortunately for me though he was also a womanizer.

>troll the fuck out of them
Nothing would please me more.

>>3532215
Oh wow I collect board-tan images and didn't have that one. Thanks!

>>3532216
It's ok. I'm from an Eastern European family, we love meat.

Welcome OP! /cgl/ and /an/ gal here :)
Sorry to hear about dem raids- /an/ has gone down the /b/ crapper too after all the puppy thrower nonsense. But I digress.

Can't say I'm a fan, but I don't hate guns. The only one I ever held and shot was in Mexico, and it was a shoulder type one. It felt pretty damn awesome, and I wish I could fire one again.
Being a really girly girl from NYC means I got 0 exp- never get to see/fire anything around here. Got any pics of cool guns you like? As a anime fan, always keeping an eye out for any WW2 or Cold War-era guns I can attempt to replicate.

>>3532225
A young Clint Eastwood with a revolver.

Awww, /k/, you're adorable. Welcome!
My boyfriend is in the middle of nowhere doing his weapons training as we speak. I'm kind of jelly.

>>3532235

>>3532239
That little thing has a tremendous recoil. :)

>>3532220
:)

>>3532232
Wow. I didn't know the grouchy old man from Grand Torino looked so...
But, ahem, nice gun. The sight of a man flicking the barrel of his revolver...

>>3532235
>>3532240
Yeah- this is /nice/; dat view~~
Brb, saving these as references :D

>>3532242

It's still awesome.

How about some weaboo images? Sorry about the term, it's what I know, and it is fine with me.

>>3532245
You know, I never gave this board any thought. Never interested, you know? However, I think I am beginning to like you guys? Any questions about firearms you would like me to take a crack at?

This is a French soldier with a FAMAS, the same gun in Metal Gear Solid 1, if you have played that one.

Hey. Just wondering whats going on in /k/?

Here's an old German Mauser 98 from WWII. Kind of a classic if you're doing the Nazi look.

>>3532247
It fires 12-Gauge shotshells. And it's a handgun. It therefore kicks ass, lol.

>>3532254

Any advice for a Canadian wanting to get into range shooting? I prefer revolvers.

>>3532260
Trolls and faggotry. It's 9/11, and while there are people who honor the American fallen, there are trolls... trolling their hearts out. I think that is why we come to you, /cgl/.

Another Mosin-Nagant in pic.

>>3532260
Hi! /k/ommerade here.

Well, it was looking like 9/11 trollhell there for a while, so some of us decided to bail till Sunday.

But it looks like the janitors over there cleaned things up, so this is all kind of turning into an inter-thread cultural trade-off event.

Which is kinda cool.

>>3532180

Hey /k/omrade, /cgl/er, /k/ lurker, shooter AND airsofter, here. You'd be amazed how many people you see at anime conventions, with airsoft guns and gear. And then there's the losers like my group, who have the real deal gear... And usually spend all weekend telling idiot tools not to point their clear M4 at the nice person behind the counter.

Send your airsofters over, we'll beat some sense into 'em!

>>3532219

>Unfortunately for me though he was also a womanizer.

Chances are, I know this person.

>>3532266
Yeah!

A .357 magnum is actually a good choice for a first revolver. It does have a bit of recoil-- but get this: You can safely load and fire .38 special cartridges in a .357 revolver, and be able to practice with a less-expenive, less-recoil-ey cartridge.

Kinda cool, I think.

>>3532266
Most, if not all, six-shooters are legal in Canada, I am sure. It's just the large-caliber, semi-auto things that your commonwealth frowns upon. Revolvers are cheap and fun to use, and there is really something for everyone. You can go for a cheap Brazilian Taurus revolver, or a more expensive American Smith & Wesson revolver. A good target shooting/fun caliber would be .38 Special or .357 Magnum. The guns are plentiful and the ammo is plentiful and relatively cheap.

Russian Nagant revolver in pic. It's a turn-of-the-century Czarist sidearm.

>>3532270
>Send your airsofters over, we'll beat some sense into 'em!

Fuckin' a, that's hysterical!

Hell yeah, sounds like you can deal with them PERFECTLY. We have no idea what to do with them to be honest.

I mean, yeah, they're all decked out in camoflage and can talk the talk about cornering and CQB and all that shit... but then they're going pew pew pew with little pastel plastic pellets.

I mean... we want to like them... but shit.
Not. Weapons.

>>3532274

How does this look then?

357-magnum


capcha: time! ithinco

Why do you keep...pausing...between your sentences?

>>3532038
Oh man if even /k/'s bad right now I don't even want to see what /new/ looks like right now.

Anyways, welcome /k/ Have sum M79.

>>3532244
Is that real? Shoot then behead your game?
Reminds me of that episode of "Pawn shop" where they get a cross bow+shotgun+knife supergun iirc. What madman designs these things?

>>3532278

Agreed, I may be an airsofter, but I'm not an idiot. I keep my airsoft related shit on airsoft related forums.

I'm actually on one a team that used to be one of the larger around, but as we've grown old, we've switched more and more over to real steel shooting. So... much... more... fun...

Though, shooting people with plastic balls, in the middle of the night, in the Mansfield Reformatory, was still more fun.

>>3532277
Or... I think this pic might actually be a British Webley... my bad, lol.

But yeah, you can shoot .38 Special in .357 Magnum guns no problem. They are actually the same cartridge except the .357 Magnum is a little bit longer than the .38, so you can shoot the .38 in a .357 revolver, but not vice versa.

TT-Tokarev pictured. It is what the Soviets used as a sidearm during WW2.

>>3532279
Ruger is also and excellent choice for a revolver. I would trust my life on one.

>>3532282
As far as I know, it's a muzzle-loading black powder musket... with an axehead, lol.

This is political, but is offers a good image of a M1 Carbine, what US paratroopers used in WW2, not to be confused with the M1 Garand.

>>3532280
Sorry. I have an ellipsis disorder. I think it's putting a kind of emphasis in the parts of my sentences I think need emphasis, but it's not really... it's just distracting the reader.

I'll try to tone that down.

Why do you /k/'s need to move here for 9-11?

>>3532297

lol @ That picture.

M1 Carbine for home defense. BEST IDEA EVER!

>>3532281
Ooooo, damn. Dat walnut.

Cute girl, too.

>>3532304
I know, right?

Not quite as powerful as a rifle, not quite as handy as a pistol. The worst of everything.

In your daughters bedroom.

>>3532308
M-14 battle rifle. Used by American forces.

This pictures an M249 SAW (Squad Automatic Weapon) used by US forces today as a light machine gun to suppress enemy soldiers.

>>3532309

But that's okay, cause I'd be in the bed with her, and that mother fucker breaking in on my fun would eat .38spl

>>3532302
well, it's beginning to look like no reason at all now.

/k/ was overrun with 9/11 trolls for a while, but it looks like a janitor went in and cleaned it all up.

So now we're all just kinda... hanging out. And it turns out to be kinda fun!

Canadian soldier.

>>3532317

That's no Canadian. If he was Canadian, he'd just be wearing a t-shirt, and not have a hat on.

>>3532304
Way it's meant to be.

Got a buddy who inherited his great uncle (or something, forget the relationship)'s M1 carbine from when he was platoon leader or sergeant of a flamethrower platoon. Thing is in perfect, absolutely perfect condition.

Dude's an idiot. Kind of idiot who can't even keep his airsoft guns in working order. I'm trying to buy it.

>>3532316
I know! And I discovered a board I like! This is nice. :)

This is a Winchester M1897 trenchgun, a 12-Gauge pump-action shotgun that was used by the US during WW1 and WW2. Any /cgl/ers out there who have a request for a possible cosplay they want to do?

>>3532312
I'm with you-- but I wouldn't be in bed with her.

That might get me, like, arrested and stuff.

>>3532318
And if he was anything else, he wouldn't have an ELCAN on a rifle.

>>3532318
It is the C7, the Canadian army's version of the American M-16 rifle.

This is the American M-4 carbine. If you are doing a modern special forces soldier or something, this is probably what you would be cosplaying using.

>>3532311

Fucking saved.

>>3532324

And on that bombshell, we're out of time!

Enjoy your stay, /k/omrades. Come visit again!

>>3532321
What kind of rifle would Russians be using in 1905, more specifically, from the Royal Guard?
Trying to convince a friend to do Russia cosplay with me, and if I can show her what kind of rifle she'll carry it may sway her mind.

Sup I just got here from /k/. Is the party over? :(

>>3532341
Mosin-Nagant M91, classic "Hex" receiver, which was actually an octagon.

Huuuuuge rifle.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosin-Nagant#Russia.2FUSSR

Shit, I love cross-board friendliness. /an/, /k/, /cgl/, /fit/...everyone except /b/ and /sp/ are pretty welcoming.

>>3532341
This. Well, close to it anyway.

A Mosin Nagant. Also known as a Dragoon in some variations.

This one was made in 1930, but the design has been the standard Russian rifle since the late 1800's. You can get her a real one. They're pretty inexpensive!

>>3532352
Animal sister's right about the hex reciever.

Here's mine, from the reciever. Wrong date and markings for 1905-- but the design is the same.

Right. Off to bed.

/cgl/, thank you for your hospitality and for showing us neanderthal /k/ommandos a nice time.

SO long!

we should have a board friendship board

ie a place where, say, /k/ could stop by and say hi to all it's bro boards at once

>>3532352

By "pretty inexpensive" he means about a hundred bucks. lol

Any of you /k/ommandos have thoughts on the weapons from Hellsing - in particular, the .454 Casull?

>>3532352
The earlier ones, the Infantry M91s were about three inches longer. Total length of about four and a half feet. In comparison, a collapsed M4 carbine is two and a half.

But if you don't mind a slight anachronism, M91/30's, the WW2 rifle, look close enough for government work. And /k/ would be the only people to care. And you can get a good one for about 150

Did I miss the /k/ommados? :<

>>3532349
>>3532352
>>3532358
Hoorah! You guys are good lol. How much is inexpensive? Very interested; I'd buy it in a heartbeat if firearms weren't illegal here, unless you have special, ass-raping permits.

>>3532367
I want one. .454 Casul is to .45 Long Colt as .357 Magnum is to .38 Special. It's an up-powered classic.

Would it work in a semi-automatic like Alucard has? Not really, the AMT Automag showed that. If you could get a Desert Eagle custom made for that, I'd buy it, though. It's a beautiful round. Ridiculously powerful for anything smaller than Leroy Brown (Baddest man in the whole damn town) or Russian Boar (Oh fucking god angry pig).


Ceras's shit is obviously ridiculous. Closest thing to the Harkonnen would be the South African Anti-Tank rifle that the Halo Sniper Rifle is based off of, can't recall the name. Badass, though.

>>3532367

I don't know anything about Hellsing, but .454 Casull is one powerful mfer. Way overkill for anything human.

>>3532377
Just read >>3532365, and damn. Disregard- rather buy me some burando dresses that won't get me jail time. Y'all been some true bros, though :)

Hi, /k/!
This seems like a perfect opportunity to draw your attention to Death the Kid from Soul Eater.

>>3532377
I bought an M44 carbine for my 18th birthday for a hundred and twenty USD, with sling, oilcan and all that jazz.

>>3532387

I have 1 Beretta 92, and I could probably loan another, if one of you guys wants to come down and try shooting them like that. I get to videotape it. Any takers?

:D

>>3532341
A Mosin-Nagant M-91 long rifle with the rear sight marked in Arshinii and blade front sight.
They're rather uncommon these days, as the Soviets upgraded them in the 1920's with Konavalov curved rear sights calibrated in Meters.

They can be pretty pricey in that particular configuration, depending on condition.

You /k/ommando basterds are alright.

>>3532387

I hope he doesn't angle his wrists down any more, because on recoil those slides are gonna tear the shit out of the bottom of his wrists.

>>3532367
it's interesting, although i dont know if its actually possible currently to chamber .454 in semiautos since it operates at really high pressures.
but it's fiction so that doesnt actually matter

>>3532424

A /k/ommando wouldn't charge his AKM with his firing hand like that.

>>3532219
>troll the fuck out of them
>Nothing would please me more.

What about fucking the troll out of them?

>>3532244
Ah, that's a favorite of mine too. Have some more.

/cgl/ is a pretty cool girl, eh dress as hot lolitas and doesn't afraid /k/


If I see a EGL holding a M-14 I will cum 5 oceans

btw this image is UPOTTE it's a manga about girls that are guns or vise versa it's very /k/and /a/ and could very well be /cgl/ too best of all it actually has mostly LEGIT gun info and it's not super popular so you wouldn't be like going to a con and seeing 50 of the characters from it because it's not ultra popular

>>3532038
OP, I'm glad you stopped by. Maybe when things calm down over on /k/ in a few days I'll pay you guys a visit, you're nicer than I expected.

How do /k/ommandos feel about ancient weaponry? I don't know much about guns, always been more of a sword guy.

>>3532538

Most of us love it I mean you gotta start somewhere right?

/k/ is real big on claymores and bastard swords but mainly just long swords and the occasional spear oh can't forget bows and arrows

I guess you can say we're "tsundere" for katanas but most of us hate them because of mall ninjas and BS ancient japanese legends / myths etc.

>>3532542
Yeah I guess I'm tsundere for katana as well (I finally broke down and bought one though, should be here next week) but I'm more into European swords.

I was actually planning to get a Chinese Miao Dao (or maybe Jian, hadn't decided for sure) next, but there just happened to be a really good sale on a good katana+wakizashi set and I couldn't pass it up.

>>3532531
Get me an M14 at a convention, and I'll make it happen.

>>3532582

marry me, but of course it'll have to be airsoft sorry, haven't been to a con since AWA11 so I don't even know if most allow even airsoft inside, outside I guess?

I mean if there was some way to bring one in as long a it was inspected and cleared sure but that'll never happen after yesterday 9 yrs ago

>>3532531
I know a rori that owns a gun shop :3

Sup guys? Here is the only semi /k/ related picture on my HD at the moment.

>>3532590
GO TO SLEEP

>>3532593

lol Gantz, good times...I need to actually finish it both anime and manga

>>3532597
The ending of the anime was disappointing. I still need to start reading the manga.

I watched all of Nabari no ou yesterday. And I must say, it was probably the worst piece of shit I have ever seen.

>>3532589
The biggest one in my area is Otakon, and Baltimore and Maryland in general aren't all that firearm friendly.

Maybe something more in Virginia or Georgia.

>>3532674

Down south it is then, rednecks gotta have their firearms and tobacco you know

like I said I thinks AWA is okay as long as you're not flashing your props/replicas/etc. around too much

I remember a friend and I got some swords from a dealer then and all he did was say "take it outside" when we unsheathed them ( just checking the quality though in retrospec not wise in a crowed dealers room )

>>3532682
Yeah, whenever we redeploy I'll be taking a look-see around. Finding the willing isn't hard, finding the willing who look good, and do a decent EGL, though, is.

And an M1A (modern civilian M14) is fairly low on my "I'm gonna get this" list. In the meantime, I'll see if I can rouse cosplayers with a shotgun.

Know of anyone in the Northern VA area? North of Richmond, basically. Eastern WV would work too.

>>3532686

lol I have friends stationed there (Airforce) well Norfolk but yeah but they're both deployed to A-stan and won't be getting back till mid Oct

>>3532689
Norfolk's a little far. I'm at the north-most point of Virginia, basically. Or just by Savannah.
