>A group of Russian companies united under the Armata project, futuristic platform for Russian tanks and other armored vehicles, has developed a new type of steel that combines the strength of a knife with the flexibility of a nail , according to the manufacturers website Russian arms Novosti VPK . This is possible thanks to the brand new fine grain steel 44S-sv-Sh, developed by specialists Steel Research Institute, part of the industrial engineering group Tráktornye Zavody. Steel was created by Custom Uralvagonzavod, the largest manufacturer of Russian tanks and the main contractor of the Russian Defense Ministry to create the futuristic Armata platform , to be applied to a new range of military equipment. use of this new steel, which appeared in Russia for the first time about 30 years ago, will allow Armata 'lose' several hundred kilos. Though steel hardness 54HRC reach their plastic characteristics are maintained at the level of production of steels with hardness 45-48HRC. In other words, the characteristics of this steel are similar to those of the famous Damascus steel . Precisely this combination reduces the thickness of the shield by 15% (and therefore weight) without 'sacrificing' security features and survival at low temperatures. The first prototypes of tanks Armata will be shown on Day parade Victory in Moscow's Red Square on May 9, 2015.
Backward thinking faggots, why would you call something Damascus steel when Damascus has already fallen? They should've called it something like Dorcestershire armor or Chokham armor.
Also this is the same steel that can't protect 3 persons side by side inna tank when hit from the side. LOL
Bonglanders, Eurofags, and other /k/omrades who have to suffer in lands without fun, what do you do to promote funloving in your societies?
I'm a tour guide for a vacaton company in the Alps. One of my guided walks takes customers by big huts on stilts - these are deer blinds used by hunters. While passing by I talk to them about how widespread shooting is in Austria and Europe in general, including experiences repping in Switzerland where I was sharing train carriages with 50 assault rifles, and yet the violent crime and murder rates in these countries is substantially lower than in the UK. By the time we've turned the corner and I start talking about silage production in grassy meadows I've hopefully put it into their heads that the gun bans threw the baby out with the bathwater.
What else can be done to persuade people to reassess their opinions on guns in societies where they're still taboo?

Hey /k/, I've been convinced for a while now why guns are essential liberties and whatnot, but there's this grossing concern of mine that I've been afraid to voice until now:
should someone with several moments having a great urge of blasting my head off get a gun? I'm afraid one night I'm just going to off myself if I have a gun lying around, I don't trust myself at all. I don't want to die but fuck do I want to die. Luckily everything else scares me like jumping in front of a train and putting my head in the oven, but I feel like having a gun would just tempt me to grab it and blast my head off like how people get the urge to jump off tall heights when they look down from extremely places.
Hey /k/, Montanan here, I live in Missoula and as some people from Montana might know Missoula is a very liberal city for a mostly republican state. As many Montanans may know, Missoula has the Poverello center, a place that houses and feed the homeless. Apparently it is a beacon that attracts the homeless, like a moth to a flame. During a run yesterday i was *almost* assaulted by a Hobo, if there hadn't been others people around things could've ended badly. Today a lady that was running near me was chased by a different hobo. What i want to know is what is a decent gun that packs a larger punch that is accurate up to and maybe more that 50 yards.
Anyone else ever disappointed when they found out their brother or sister wasn't as pro gun as you thought they were? Family is over for a few days for Labor Day cookout.
>doing some minor adjustments and attaching new sling I got to my AR. >Adjust it to my torso size >Brother walks in >"uhhh is that real?" >"Yep" >"why do you need that?" >herewego.jpg >"Its not about needs bro its about freedom" >"I still don't understand why you need that" >"Well why do you need a smart phone? Why do you need a fast car?" >"Well I use those all the time" says my brother >"And I used my rifle all the time" >My brother is mentally shaken and prepares for massive damage control >I say "You know why you have those things? Not because you NEED them, but because free people have those things, just like free people have guns" >"W-whatever" >My mom over hears and shes pro-gun just like me. >She says to me "You're just like your grandfather anon" >I idolize my grandfather >That hit me like a brick wall >I shed a single tear
