Six of the stalls next to Auntie's burned down two weeks back. Another leaky, rusty fuel drum and too much sun. Or so they say.

Somebody had to set up on the ashes, and I wouldn't think of blaming them for starting the fire, but these people aren't even selling anything. Not for barter, anyway. They all wear the same thing like they're a hoity-toity tribe, putting on airs, calling each other 'yessir' or 'corporal' and they have this red-white banner that looks like a foghorner eating a TV aerial.

These Reds make almost as much noise as the Crier, but instead of sharing tricks and happenings, they boast about how they're going to finally take back the cities now they're cooling off, and that they need everyone old enough to hold a gun and wear their clothes and rattle off their words to help make it happen. Most don't give them the time of day, but this morning they had enough folks behind them to buy out another stall.

Auntie next door to them says they're lovely people, but she goes on like we're all her nieces and nephews, those godforsaken, thieving mutie runts too. But even they stay clear of the Reds.

Cities are getting colder. The road gangs are coming back. Now this. Times are changing.

The two are unwilling to leave the vehicle unattended out of fears it might be stolen, but are in dire need of certain components in order to repair the vehicle.

They believe that the components might be found in the wasteland town's junkyard.

They promise some supplies in return for this service and might offer a lift to the next settlement/point of interest?

The vehicle is in pretty good shape minus the recent battle damage that rendered it inoperable, has off-road suspension and armored exterior.


Depending on the setting it can be one of the few working vehicles still around.

Ok, I rest my case, since you seriously think a hand pump will be able to do that.
I mean it will be able to do that... assuming you have everything super-tight and have spare time to push it about 80-100 times.

Like I said, go read about Girandoni. All the issues with the gun still apply today.

>>52510921
No I do not I am NOT air rifle anon. quit implying I am you fucking shit. I honestly don't know what gave you that Idea.

>>52510901
You would need a well-stocked machinist shop, with decent lathe and/or good welding equipment. Preferably both, since I doubt you will have any industrial-tier glue or lubricate to seal the screws.
Those tools need electricity.

Assuming you have a shop capable of making those, you could as well make pretty much anything else. For example, like other anon pointed out, crossbows. Which would be MUCH easier to make and definitely more reliable at combat, with roughtly the same fire-rate and definitely better stopping power. Not to mention you can make one, having rigid piece of scrap/wood, elastic piece of scrap/wood and any form of string and cord. Oh, and a knife to bend/carve them together.

Also, this >>52510890 . Girandoni was the only military-issue air gun ever made. And it works only if you ignore pressure issues.

Yeah, he was awesome. Completely non-com bullshit ego-stroking by the leadership in an effort to rally the trops in much the same way that he formed a religion around himself.

Is this the infamous American mentality of "everyone is a winner and all that matters is participation"?

A scarred guy sells plant seeds, fruit and fertile earth. Also tribal spears and arrow tips only slightly bloody.

An uncannily-talkative middle-aged man calls out to passers-by, tempting them to stop with tales of more and better-tasting food for their families. He is flanked by two burly, silent men, and behind him is a battered and dented armored car. An old chalkboard, salvaged from the nearby schoolhouse, sits on the wooden counter. Exchange rates for the many items that pass for currency in the wasteland are scrawled across it. They change daily, sometimes obscenely so, with no rhyme or reason behind the sudden jump or crash. His boisterousness is replaced by curt reproaches when customers attempt to protest his rates.

Some wonder if the only thing keeping the man and his makeshift bank at the market is the shortage of gasoline. He accepts the money gratefully and locks it away in his vault, hoping for the day when he'll scrounge up enough fuel to take a much-needed vacation.

A father/son team are making new gas mask filters from old food tins, ground charcoal from a large kiln behind their stall, wire mesh, and layers of washed fabric.
Each filter is assembled while customers wait, so they can see the filters aren't just old ones brushed up.

On the outskirts of the market, vendors sell animal manure by the sack to anyone that grows their own food. Street urchins with improvised tin scoops follow pack animals being led through the bazaar, and on filling a bag, are handed a chit/portion of bread/a couple of caps/whatever.

An exuberant but foolhardy mutant is selling various jugs, jars, and boxes of all kinds from a stall made up of jugs, jars, and boxes of all kinds. He seems to be semi-aquatic in nature, and wears a strange contraption made up of various jugs and hoses that allows him to breathe murky water I instead of air, though he could breathe air in a pinch, it isn't nearly as comfortable. He has a water purifier in his possession, but he is unwilling to sell or negotiate a price on it.

If attacked, his prodigious strength, regenerating body, inability to process pain, and almost total lack of vital organs would make him extremely difficult to defeat. He has a single shot shotgun and a hefty wooden "beat-stick" to deter would-be thieves.

It added to the thread, therefore it is a contribution. It isn't original, in that I'm sure someone's done it or something very much like it before, but nothing under is truly original.

>I seriously miss times when /tg/ was freshly made and everyone had really thick hide, so they weren't pussies about being called shithead when someone felt like it.

I don't have a problem with you insulting an anon for good reason, but there's no reason to insult an anon for sharing an unfinished chart that pertains to the thread.

In ye old times saltpeter was made out of human waste. Sulfur in a pure-ish from is a bit harder to get but can be removed for some trade offs. The other big thing is charcoal ( can be replaced with some common types of coal easy) which likely would be the most common from of heating/cooking.

Also basic guns are very easy to make. Handguns became common in Europe as a defensive siege weapon in the mid 14th century because any village blacksmith with a pattern could make one, no highly trained craftsman needed.

A large, muscular black guy is sitting in a shadow of a faded sun umbrella and smiles at you welcomingly. He stands up from behind the plastic garden table and you notice his entire left leg was replaced with cybernetic prostetic. He's unarmed, but something tells you he doesn't need any weapons to fend for himself.
His little shop is next to him, apparently made from an old book stand, now filled with all sorts of maps. Some of them are old stock, but most are home-made, apparently printed with a help of mimeograph.
He's also willing to pay premium prize for anyone disclosing location of settlements, hamlets, camps and such, apparently currently writing a travelling guide. The one in his stock was printed few years ago and he wants fresh infrormations and numbers.
You can't shake the feeling you've saw that face and heard that deep, yet cheerful bass voice already.

A heavily populated street lined with neon signs, their lights flickering as whatever powers them barely continues to function. The entryway has a large sign as if welcoming you in, or at least it would be if the message hadn't completely rusted over, leaving only a white placard with a rusted hole that looks more like a weeping sore.

Several guards covering their faces with goggles, masks, and helmets eye all newcomers with suspicions, switching the grip on their weapons to send the message that mischief will be met with brutal intolerance.

The stalls themselves seem to be run by a single group, the merchants idly chatting with each other in between deals with customers, their wares and services lined for all to see.

To the right, a boy grills a piece of meat on a stick, fanning the flames so the smell of the marinade wafts into the crowds, attracting customers to the modest diner.

To the left a man peddles ancient weapons. Swords, clubs, spears and shields, made with an experienced hand as if raided from a museum, and some pieces probably are. He claims that a gun will eventually run dry, but a mace will be just as effective a thousand swings later.

Further down is the grisly named 'Flesh Market', a somewhat fitting name for what is essentially a broker who helps set up would be explorers and traders with the guides, bodyguards, servants, and any other experienced hand they may need with people looking for a new job. He sets up the deal, and gets a fraction of whatever is paid to the new employee. A convenient place for any caravan to hire help fast.

Nestled just down the street from the diner is a grocer, or at least that's what he advertises. Alongside other signs
>Meats of all kinds
>Vegetables that don't bite back
>Fresh(?)
show that he is a major supplier of food, from the exotic to the mundane.

In a ramshackle building that looks like its disparate bits were somehow glued together a Waster can find 'Darwini's fine clothes'.
A true novelty in the wastes Darwini somehow produces not scavenged or crudely cobbled together clothing but actual brand new and fitted clothes.
The material is strange but some of the toughest stuff around, the low end stuff will keep out the rain and resist fire, the high end stuff will do that and help keep out blades and bullets.
The catch? It costs near an arm and a leg to purchase (literally if some of the rumors about attempted cheapskates are to be believed) and while Darwini does all the measurements and fittings in person no one's actually seen them. If you want in to the shop you need to let the little blind muti at the door blindfold you and then hold very still while the measuring tapes are pressed against you, they say if you listen closely the way Darwini's moves just don't sound 'right'.

Fine I'll spell it out, look at the name of the proprietor, the implication is that the shop owner is actually a giant spider (also try comparing the properties of spider silk to the purported properties of the clothing). Seriously where the fuck did you get the anal probe idea?

>>52578196
A big, automated sewing machine, using fuckload of energy, hence the high costs of operating it and big secrecy to hide valuable tech like that? The anal probe was a joke toward alien abduction.

>>52578196
And honestly, the idea of using spider silk is so weird I wound never figure that one out. This shit dissolves on it's own after few weeks, why would anyone even try to use it as a fibre?

>>52578196
Not him but from that description, I'd be expecting surprise buttsex over 'the owner is a giant spider' in that scenario too.

>>52578340
Are you kidding? There's lots of effort to figure out how to mass produce the stuff because it's so effective. Most of the frailty comes from the scale spiders use it at.

>>52578575
... and it still dissolves on it's own, making it dogshit awful material.
Hence I wasn't even considering an option with massive spider. I mean... how the fuck that's even suppose to work? A guy takes measurements from you, not fucking sews on you. And it would take to fucking weave the fucking fabric first.

I guess I will stay with my big-ass old automated sewing machine. At least it makes sense why it's expensive and why it's hidden and why it feels strange during measuring.

>>52578626
Where are you getting this rapid degradation idea?
Sure spiders will break down their own webs after about that long but without the right digestive enzymes that shit will last.

>>52578675
Not him, but from fucking biology. Depending on species, a spider needs to replace entire structure of own web from between three days to three weeks, Not because damage dealt to it, but because the fibres simply decompose.

>>52578718
Try comparing the properties of drag line silk to other kinds, not all silk is created equal.

Seriously I'm well aware that silk and spider silk are different. Also do me a favor and do a google scholar search on spider silk, read some of the many articles on why it has properties that make it an excellent material that MANY companies are trying to mass produce for textile and or body armour use and then whinge on about how using it as a marital is stupid because organic materials can biodegrade.

An older, balding man is cutting tires and stitching the rubber into makeshift vests and padding, to be cheaply sold to those who need durable fabric but don't have the funds for kevlar or bioweave.

His stall is short, squat and ugly but solidly built of scrap metal and scrap wood. Behind it lies a stack of tires three men high, which the man diligently attends to. A pimply faced teenage boy tends to the stall, haggling with would-be buyers over prices and currency ratios. He looks very similar to the old man, they're almost certainly a father and son team.

Aside of that he's also selling something that looks like a huge bolt of spider web attatched on a sticks, but pink. It's lightweight, soft in touch and melts in mouth with extremely sweet taste.

Metal's precious because:

A. Everyone is going to want to use it, so it'll always be expensive (especially steel), which is what you'd want to use for armor, no substitutes
B. Even IF you used steel to plate your rig, bullets would rip right through that shit, no problem. A .45 caliber pistol round could punch through steel sheet like NOTHING, not to speak of 100 year old steel that's been rotting since the day you found it. You're better off using sandbags or foot-wide slabs of concrete cut straight from the ground to deflect small-arms fire.

The only thing steel is really good for, in this case, is deflecting arrows, rocks, and glass bottles, which rubber tires, empty water bottles, and discarded mattresses can do just as well. Also, it's lightweight for it's strength, which is useful, since a post-abundance setting would really stress gas-mileage, but if you're determined to save your life, I'd rather hunker down and load up my vehicle with heavy bags of sand and pay the extra money than hope some thin sheet of steel will save me.

One of the many mechanics offering his services has a little project going on the back of his shop: He's slowly trying to re-furbish an old, military, heavy-assault infantry drone.

Right now it has hooks for hands, and most of the external armour plates are missing. Also it currently has no weapons. And the power-plant fluctuates wildly in out-put. And the its gyro is burned out, so it can't really balance very well. And... well, let's just say it's a work in progress.

If anyone finds some mil-spec anthro drone parts he'll probably take them off your hands for a reasonable price.

>>52598335
Heavily depends on the quality of powder and weapon. Well made fine grain corned powder can propel a 15mm hardened lead conical bullet at 330 meters per second. A round like this will breach 5mm steel plate, about the practical limit for a reasonable breastplate.

A more primitive weapon might fire a 20mm soft lead ball at 110 meters per second. Beyond point blank range a light metal breastplate can safely deflect it.

Not him, and he's a pleb, but
1) Depends entirely on storage. It can be months, it can be (theoretically) centuries
2) Doesn't really matter that much, as the more important part is the projectile you used

>>52598335
What he >>52599972 said - the fact you are using black powder, home made or not, doesn't really matter. Sure, it will affect the general stopping power of your bullets, but only if you are extremely incompetent (not being precise with measurements, not pressing the bullets properly, etc).
The much bigger factor will be both the material used for the bullets and their shape, followed by the gun's caliber.

The easiest example:
Shotgun shells can effortlessly use black powder as propellent, but the gun performance will entirely depend on what the powder is propelling.
But it applies to all guns even more, since you need to be much more precise with anything even remotely more complicated than shotgun shells (which are the most primitive cartridge you can get)

And assuming your ammo was stored in half-decent conditions (military depos aren't exacly known for being good warehouses), it last for pretty long. Ammo made in early 50s is perfectly usable today and that's the oldest ammo stock that was "clinically" tested. Technically it can be stores indefinitely, but obviously after each decade an increasing percentage of bullets will be made useless due to general technical failure. Propellent itself, depending on substance used, can work for few hundreds of years.
Bullets are much more lasting than guns, you know

>>52598335
>>52600470
Also, remember that if you are using black powder, you are going to need to clean your gun on regular basis, field stripping it and cleaning every inch of it.

Around him there are three bodyguards, two women and one man, all silent, muscular and wearing some kind of a jagged swords on their back. The truth is that the "noble" didn't come here to barter, but rather to provoke some sellers, so his bodyguards could kill them and take their stuff (after the ruler of the bazaar wil take his fee of course). But the real danger comes from him being a telepath, who was worshipped by a primitive tribe a few years ago.

To be fair, that's such a difficult question to answer, because there's just soooooooo many variables to consider. You'll always get more then one answer, and almost every single one of them will have a really good point.

Personally, I think pre-apoc. ammo will last for only about 3 to 5 years before it starts to become a thing of luxury. By then, I'd like to believe, humanity would have took the time to get their feet underneath them and start making new ammo, but as for pre-apoc. ammo; SOMEONE, or SEVERAL someones are going to end up with the vast majority of them. It's a niche, and people are going to exploit that niche for ammo. Someone's going to raid an armory with his friends, or someone's going to trade everything he's got for the lion's share of ammo in his whole town, and that's just how history tends to repeat itself.

Rare, valuable commodities like that are NEVER left untouched. Someone WILL take advantage of people's need for them, and WILL benefit from people's need from them, at a profit. At that rate, all the ammo will quickly run out in 3 to 5 years (after someone stockpiles it all, everyone will know where to go to find it, he'll quickly run out of ammo due to high demand, he'll fuck off with all he's made, and that'll be the end of pre-war ammo)

>>52603671
It's literally impossible to answer your questions without taking into account FUCKLOAD of variables, starting with the sole fact what caused the apocalypse and how big is the population right after it.

Because you can end up with two extremes, where either all bullets are fired in first few months OR no bullets were fired ever and there are entire military depos full of bullets waiting, since there is barely anyone left to reach them... and anything left worth shooting at.
