So gonna have to put in an order lmao

[echo cairn]

Niceeeeeee

I'm prob get a omega 9k here soon

Or a lithium. I haven't decided fully

[timid belfry]

I have a lithium

Love that thing

[thorny flame]

aren't they shipping milkmans?

[echo cairn]

They are, they just got 3 in at my LGS. I just think they look fugly on mp5s

[echo cairn]

How it do on mp5?

[timid belfry]

Great, no complaints

[timid belfry]

Milkman is sick tho

My buddy bought one for a apc9k and it’s sweet

I like the classic boring look of my lithium though, looks great on the mp5s

[carmine tide]

Im not paying 900 for a handguard

[round sentinel]

Bottom take

900 isn’t that bad

[livid holly]

I…..just wanna know

how

https://www.reddit.com/r/ar15/s/0LjcBb7BKB

How do you blow not only your gun but the fucking bolt carrier itself while leaving the firing pin in place

[round sentinel]

Overpressure load cracks a lug/ bolt and blows out the pressure chamber of the BCG before it unlocks

And or just a shitty carrier

[lone moss]

I have sinned

[round sentinel]

Only for what is on the front of that gun

[lone moss]

aye i got it in a trade like this

[olive meadow]

Looks familiar

[lone moss]

have you shot a normal 43?

[olive meadow]

Nope

I usually hate micros

[lone moss]

damn okay, i was gonna ask how the recoil impulse is vs the normal 43 as that pushed me away getting a 43 or x to begin with and why i got a 42

[thorny flame]

you can buy an entire gun for the price of the RAS

(discontinued forever probably)

[modest hatch]

Well this cross pin was a little worn out.

[round sentinel]

I can buy way more for the price of my RAZ

[modest hatch]

It snapped shortly after removal

[thorny flame]

even KAC thinks this shit is silly

which i think is why they're winding that stuff down forever

waste of machine time

[round sentinel]

The RAZ was a prototype from like 2001 lmao

That’s insane for a handguard

[round sentinel]

Uh, no comment

I deal in wayyyy pricier ones

[scenic jetty]

[thorny flame]

it's like antique collecting

[blazing temple]

If it's expensive, big, and heavy, then it's nekos type

[round sentinel]

Silence

You

[timid belfry]

Shameful

[thorny flame]

it always just kills me because

all the guys that used that shit have normal BCMs or whatever

[round sentinel]

I just like the cool weird handguards for just that reason

They are weird and cool

[blazing temple]

You just hate me cause I'm beautiful

[round sentinel]

If I was gonna run a ‘modern’ ar setup there’s plenty of better options

[scenic jetty]

I bought the 6 inch Kac handguard

I do enjoy that one

[inland solstice]

Clearly it’s something with a 20” because fuck practicality. Bring back the M16

[round sentinel]

20
better option

Pick one

[inland solstice]

I pick my A4

Are there better options? Yes. Do I care? No.

[lunar marsh]

If I’m going long boy I’m going old boy

[inland solstice]

Unfortunate that your third position is only for show. Solid build though

I want to dip my toes in H&R but I don’t like PSA’s Customer Service

[lunar marsh]

I have zero interest in FA or FRT

[inland solstice]

Completely fair

[lunar marsh]

Not worth the cost because I have zero need for it and I’ve shot so much FA it’s boring and meh at this point

[round sentinel]

It’s fun on unique builds

But for a basic rifle, yeah it’s whatever

[inland solstice]

I just sorta view it as what the A4 should have been instead of burst fire

[round sentinel]

Oh you got an arc or something in your A4?

[inland solstice]

Not an Arc but a clone to the FRT-15L3

[thorny flame]

it's insane to me you haven't dipped into the 2010 lancer era

that seems up your alley

[round sentinel]

I prefer slightly earlier

[round sentinel]

I’m waiting for AS to release the BRN180 one since I’m trying to get my cope L22 lower sent out to get converted

Well, for AR safeties

[inland solstice]

I wish I got a Gen2 upper while they were being phased out

@round sentinel what do yall think about those downvent bcgs ?

Big gay, no tangible benefit

‘Bbbut they are 3db quieter at the port’

At the cost of hard fouling your magazine/ ammo. Which will destroy some mags and reliability

[livid holly]

@round sentinel I also saw something that brings me an immeasurable amount of joy

Fucking dumbass rage baiting content creator “Johnny Somali” was found guilty and sentenced on all counts of the crimes he committed in South Korea and is now facing 5 years in jail with hard labor and is being registered as a sex offender in South Korea

[round sentinel]

LMAO

good

He was a total fucking moron

[livid holly]

Well

I’m not going to say it tracks with his nationality because that’s racist

[round sentinel]

It just tracks with the actual culture of content creation

Namely

[livid holly]

But it makes you wonder why he thought it was a good idea at all

Fair

[round sentinel]

Shits funny and deserved

[livid holly]

Oh 10000%

That’s why I’m dying of laughter

He fucked around for too long without finding out and now he’s found out

[blazing temple]

Didn't that happen a few months back?

[livid holly]

He was charged but only recently got convicted and sentenced

Within the last week or so

[blazing temple]

Mmm I thought he had already been sentenced

[round sentinel]

Nah unfortunately not

[olive meadow]

Send it to me

[round sentinel]

Begone hoe

[olive meadow]

🙁 rude

[round sentinel]

Love you too, no hetero

I do really like this reticle tho

Gonna need to math out where the subtensions will line up for my barrel length tho

[blazing temple]

[olive meadow]

What’s your velocity?

[blazing temple]

-5

[olive meadow]

I’ll just send it over

[round sentinel]

It’s a 10.5

[blazing temple]

It actually results in a stack underflow giving maximum possible effect for the bullet weight

[olive meadow]

Which reticle do you have and what ammo?

[round sentinel]

EBR-9F

Usually just 855’s for range guns

[olive meadow]

You’re actually running a FFP?

[round sentinel]

Second

It’s the 1-6

It was a specific limited drop from a contract overrun for the rangers

[olive meadow]

Thought so.

[round sentinel]

When would I ever run FFP

[olive meadow]

That’s why I asked. What’re you zeroed at?

[round sentinel]

It’ll be a 25 or a 50

Optic is set up for 50 but that’s a 14.5 bdc so

Kinda moot

[olive meadow]

You sure you have the EBR 9?

Only questioning it because that’s a mil reticle

[round sentinel]

I am sure. Yes

Sorry I did mean 7

Mistyped

This is where it’s funny. Moa scope

MRAD subtensions

[thorny flame]

EBR-9 is the 1-10 reticle

[olive meadow]

That’s why I asked 😑

[thorny flame]

7F is the 1-6 m855A1 reticle only in that scope

[round sentinel]

Yeah

It’s a cool reticle

[thorny flame]

i still think those scopes* are a bargain

[round sentinel]

1200 with the full mount and package lmao

It’s a great deal

[olive meadow]

Unfortunately with the block I can’t get that reticle, but this should get you close @round sentinel

[round sentinel]

That’s the 7B

[olive meadow]

That’s a 55g moving at 2600

[olive meadow]

Yes I know. The drops will be the same.

I couldn’t get the 7F. 😔

[round sentinel]

It shouldn’t have the same holds tho

Since these are 855A1 BDCs

[olive meadow]

That’s interesting

[round sentinel]

Yeah

It’s super cool

[blazing temple]

Why are you pointing your scope at the pole

[round sentinel]

Because it’s fun

[olive meadow]

The first part of the reticle is probably correct. 😅

Looks like you have range holdovers and then it switches to mils

[thorny flame]

the reticle that it would actually be close to is the sig one

which i think they have

same bdc

[round sentinel]

I can prob just math it fine myself. Cause I can pull the data from vortex but it def is close

[olive meadow]

Unfortunately with the Strelok block that’s the closest I can get.

[round sentinel]

The what block

[olive meadow]

Russian things are blocked at the moment.

So I can’t update my Strelok app

[round sentinel]

Ohhhh

Pain

[scenic jetty]

That’s not a bad reticle

[round sentinel]

It’s a good one. Yeah

you should just be aware of this

milkman with an extension

on an SD, obviously

[calm portal]

Always a great day to be at the range

[echo cairn]

We were just talking ab that the other day actually. I got a ptr tho

[thorny flame]

the SD barrels are more trouble than they're worth

[echo cairn]

If it had a legit sd barrel id get one

[thorny flame]

they do sell them but you wouldn't want one anyway

it's just such a nightmare

[echo cairn]

I would just so I didn't have to buy 147 24/7

What in gods name is that shot grouping at like 10’

Got hits in the white lol

Wild

[placid basin]

?

[calm portal]

he was talking about a video that i removed

[placid basin]

oh

[calm portal]

basically me and group of 4 of my buddies were at the range (all shooting the same target) and 2/4 of my buddies have never shot a firearm. so whoever this guy is, is worried about shot grouping.

[lunar marsh]

I was worried about that uncontrollable 5.56 absolutely dominating him lol

[placid basin]

Ah I see, I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt and say that the grouping was probably his friend that was new to it

[lunar marsh]

I can’t unsee what I’ve seen between the chicken wing stance and lack of recoil control 🤷‍♂️

Gotta start somewhere. Never stop training

[placid basin]

^

This is true

speaking of which I’m spending the next two paychecks on a new gun instead of ammo for the guns I already have

[lunar marsh]

What you getting?

[calm portal]

Yeah I will admit, the recoil caught me a little off guard. prior to that video i had never shot an MCX Spear and didnt know it had that much recoil.

[placid basin]

MR556A4, already bought the can for it too

Rhodie 6K

If not the MR556 then the SOLGW Mk1

Either or tbh

[lunar marsh]

My goal is no new firearms this year. Was my goal last year and ended up buying 6 lol. I’m trying harder this year

[placid basin]

Sadly just comes with piston guns, my .300 MCX has a noticeable amount more recoil then the .300 DDM4 I traded it for

[placid basin]

I only got two atm, the MCX and the P365. The P365 is my EDC but the MCX was supposed to be just a range toy

I told myself I’ll get myself one serious use rifle and full size handgun and just train the hell out of those two for a while

[lunar marsh]

I think I’m somewhere between 40-50. 3 safes full.

[placid basin]

wow

[scenic jetty]

that goal went out the window lol

[placid basin]

well I just started my firearms journey less then a year ago so give me some time 😂

I fully expect to have minimum one safe full at some point in my life

[lunar marsh]

I’ve diversified over the years at least. I used to own about 15 M1 Garands lol

I’m down to 1 now

[placid basin]

Why 15?

[lunar marsh]

Collected and shot high power rifle comp for a bit after I got out of the Army

[placid basin]

15 of them though?

was it like required to us M1s?

[lunar marsh]

Ya. Theres so many variances and changes with the M1 over its production history. 4 different manufacturers and at the time it was like Pokémon to me…gotta collect them all

[placid basin]

ah i see

now you just own the one fav?

[lunar marsh]

Ya

[placid basin]

interesting

[lunar marsh]

All original 1942 Springfield Armory

[grizzled oriole]

I just bought a 357 barrel for my g40, im curious if 40sw mags will FIT in the g40, not feed 10mm

[lunar marsh]

🤷‍♂️

[placid basin]

very nice i must say

im not too sure what to get beyond my duty rifle and duty handgun tbh

theres alot of things i WANT to get but none that i need

[grizzled oriole]

do you have a shotgun?

[placid basin]

nope

[lunar marsh]

I think 5 lol

[grizzled oriole]

I would make that my next purcahse. there are police trade in 870s for cheap

you can shoot clay pigeons (cant say the words lol) and hunt with it

its a lot of fun

[placid basin]

i do want a shotgun but the one ive been eyeing for a while is specifically the M1014

i love the history behind it and also its just been in alot of video games

[scenic jetty]

holy fuck

[grizzled oriole]

thats a good gun, but only if you buy an actual benelli m4, all the turkish clones are cheap and unreliable

[placid basin]

oh nah not touching any turkish clones

[lunar marsh]

My last purchase was this A300. Absolutely love it

[scenic jetty]

a300s are so good for the price

[grizzled oriole]

my last shotgun was an a5 from 1953 with the field engravings

but i drool over the a300

[placid basin]

ik alot of people here are against buying something just for the name but good chunk of the reason why i want a MR556 is for the HK name, if i do get a M1014 im gonna make sure its from Benelli

[lunar marsh]

Ya I got it for like 900

[placid basin]

heard very good things about the A300s

[scenic jetty]

oh nice

[placid basin]

damn if i wasnt going for the M1014 i would get a A300

[scenic jetty]

honestly id say just get the a300

[calm portal]

What's yall's opinion on the Springfield Saint Victor?
Saw one at the shop by my house and have been thinking about getting it but wanted some feedback about it.

[grizzled oriole]

good advice

[scenic jetty]

are you being sarcastic or ?

[placid basin]

No I think he means it

[lunar marsh]

Was out shooting these today between the rando rainstorms

[scenic jetty]

both great rifles

[placid basin]

still loving the Larry Vickers build

[lunar marsh]

A couple of the favorites

[placid basin]

Actually speaking of which

I was planning on attending a Milsim event with a friend from California

And was thinking of building out a blank firing M16A4 clone

ACOG and all

[scenic jetty]

i mean if you have the money sure

[placid basin]

The KAC quad rails are pricey tho

😭

[calm portal]

Is it a worthy purchase or is it mid?

[scenic jetty]

its okay

honestly better options for the price

[calm portal]

fair enough

Any recommendations?

I just wanna shoot at pieces of metal a thousand yards away and god willing get a clean shot on an elk for the first time this coming November

No assassination murder is a sin

[proven hearth]

Krg stock?

Looks like it but im on my phone

[plush warren]

Yep! KRG bravo chassis

[proven hearth]

Very nice

Im considering one for my ruger american

[plush warren]

I didn’t even know they made them for rugers that’s awesome!

[proven hearth]

Ye, only for the short actions though iirc

Which mine is a 556

[plush warren]

Well hell yeah man that’s fortuitous

I love 5.56 bolt guns

Great field rifles

[proven hearth]

Ive actually really been liking the American. For $600 its a pretty solid rifle

[plush warren]

Fuck yeah man! I saved for ages to get a tikka but the Americans are solid rifles too

Especially if you need something sooner rather than later

[proven hearth]

I do regret getting the ar mag one though. Which if I do the krg ill have to swap to aics mags anyway

So not a giant deal but still

[plush warren]

Hell yeah then you can seat the looooong bullets

Like fuckin 80+ grainers XD

[proven hearth]

Most of what that guns has seen has been cheapo 55gr xm193

[plush warren]

PEAK

[proven hearth]

I should get some 77gr match to throw in it and see how it does tbh. I just shoot handguns far more, most of my rifle shooting tbch is with my 1022

Which im running a victor company titan on

[plush warren]

Ahh fair fair, most of my shooting now is rifles and PCC’s not so much handguns

[proven hearth]

Another really nice stock

I stay shooting handguns to stay proficient, imo, if i have to use a gun chances are it's my handgun so i like to shoot them the most

[soft jay]

Taking in the consideration scope of your preparations and how meticulous you are with everything. Feds would suspect you of assassination planning

[plush warren]

Totally fair! I just train enough to keep all rounds on a torso sized target at 10 yards during a mag dump

[plush warren]

Oh brother not even, this is mediocre compared to actual PRS shooters

Or F class

[scenic jetty]

A prs class would be fun

[proven hearth]

Ive honestly really been considering making my 1022 a nv plinker

That sounds so fun

[plush warren]

PRS, much like any other match is super fun! I just suck at shooting lol

[plush warren]

That would be tuff as hell

[scenic jetty]

I’m Meh at pistol so

[proven hearth]

Could be pretty peak ngl

[plush warren]

One pet build I still love messing around with is my long range .300 blackout. Need a spotting scope to actually spot impacts since you can’t hear them on steel past like 600

[scenic jetty]

@proven hearth don’t think I’ve ever seen your 10/22

[scenic jetty]

Were I live at now I’m able to shoot out that far

[plush warren]

Another build I kinda wanna do is maybe a 6.5 creedmoor mountain rifle. Barrel fully protected by handguard, pencil barrel, maybe a little 2-10 optic or something

[proven hearth]

Eps is temporary just to shoot with till I buy the scope. Got a shaw barrel, Victor company titan, not in the picture but its got a kidd trigger now and suppressed. Don't feel like digging to find a full pic

Oh and harris bipod, whatever the 6-9 is

[plush warren]

Hell yeah we love Harris bipods

[scenic jetty]

I like that setup

[proven hearth]

Ill be buying a new receiver with an integrated rail at somepoint soon aswell

Which i can then use my oem 1022 shit to build out just a plain jane

[scenic jetty]

I want the 10/22 pistol

[proven hearth]

I want a ruger model 44

Basically just a 1022, but in 44 mag

[plush warren]

A 77/357 would be dummy tough

That's the bolt gun right?

Taiwan knows what's up

Real question is what barrel length

[round sentinel]

12.5

Obv

[summer plover]

Isn't 5.56 out of a 12.5 kind of a meme velocity wise

[round sentinel]

God no

12.5 is based

P much anything above 9.5 is gtg

[summer plover]

Oh well my ammo stockpile is mostly m193, would that allow for proper fragmentation?

[round sentinel]

193
proper fragmentation

Even a 20 only gets that to short range lmao

193 is ass

With a modern bullet you will fragment to 500 easily with a sbr

193 even from the 20 only frags reliably to like 125-150 yards

[plush warren]

Still well within “get the fuck out of my house” distance tbh

[lunar marsh]

Never shot anyone with 193 but I’ve heard that it fragments more reliably than 855 on soft tissue. 855 was absolutely inconsistent fragmentation

[proven hearth]

They got some pretty sick handguards for the t91

[round sentinel]

Similar issues, 855 had issues past around 100 yards

And had worse close range yaw inconsistencies

[round sentinel]

Real. Their chassis rails are super cool

[lunar marsh]

It was solid against skeletal structure but soft tissue a clean pass thru with little damage. Barely could find entrance/exit wounds lol

[round sentinel]

Yeah, close and average ranges it was ass for lmao

193 was only marginally less ass for the same

There’s a reason the mil don’t use her no more

[scenic jetty]

We tested this on just water bottles at the range one got hit with m855 and the other with my buddies hornady handloads huge difference

[olive meadow]

I could show you what an 11.5” will do to an animal…

For “meme velocity”

[mint helm]

What would you all say is a fair price for 55A1 these days?

[blazing temple]

$0.02/round

[round sentinel]

@olive meadow You know anything about bobro engineering mounts

I’ve seen em but never heard anything

[hushed salmon]

@round sentinel

@round sentinel

Metro 2039.

Also I have a bobro acog mount. Committed many warcrimes with it.

[round sentinel]

BASED

and yeah I watched 2039

I’m hyped

The uniforms look so good and overall very pleased with how it looks

Ready to be back in Moscow 🙏

[hushed salmon]

What's it based on?

Looks completely seperate from the books

[round sentinel]

It is

[hushed salmon]

Based

[round sentinel]

Tbf so was last light and exodus

2033 was the only one to follow a book

[hushed salmon]

True. But they took a little influence at least. And glukhovsky was somewhat involved

[round sentinel]

2034 was following a completely separate character Sasha, and 2035 was a bridge between last light and exodus

[round sentinel]

Only really for 2035 due to being a bridge book

It very much felt rushed in parts

I’d have loved to see the book from St Petersburg

From what’s his name

Basically the only other good writer from the metro universe project

[hushed salmon]

I haven't read any of the expanded stuff

Stoked for more Russian guns

[round sentinel]

The 2033-2035 and St Petersburg ones are really the only books worth a shit

The rest of the writers are operator high speed fanfics

Ah yeah it’s just called Piter

By Shimun Veochek

[hushed salmon]

Thx will check it out

[round sentinel]

🙏

[scenic jetty]

i saw it as well im super hyped

[round sentinel]

The black ones are back Ayo?

That or it’s doing the ‘artificial super soldiers’ route using the plot of the reich’s interest with them from last light

Either way I don’t mind

[hushed salmon]

Dark ones you casual

[round sentinel]

Black ones is the literal name btw :)

[hushed salmon]

[round sentinel]

Dark ones was the westernized changed name

[hushed salmon]

Comrade neko

[round sentinel]

I mean

I’m with a slav

[scenic jetty]

black ones lol

that would have been funnier

[round sentinel]

It’s their genuine name. It’s great

🙏

[soft jay]

The evolution of human race

The next link in the evolution

[round sentinel]

I wonder if they are going to go the ‘experimentation program’ route of making them

I wouldn’t mind. It’s a bit generic but it could pull it off with that world

[soft jay]

As far as I am aware 2039 is completely standalone no source material, so they will maybe use a trope of hybrid of human and a black one

[rough steppe]

just picked up my first rifle

Daniel Defense M4V7

[blazing temple]

Do not the dark ones

• some guy living in a train tunnel

[round sentinel]

I wouldn’t be surprised yeah

It’s standalone as much as LL and Exodus were

[round sentinel]

Ayyy nice

[carmine tide]

make sure to adjust the foregrip

[soft jay]

Last light felt a bit as inspired by 2035

[round sentinel]

It wasn’t

2035 came after

[soft jay]

Because there are things in game which took place in the book as well

[carmine tide]

maybe this time the game called METRO will be set in the METRO

[round sentinel]

By two years lol

[soft jay]

Metro in London

[round sentinel]

2034 was completely disconnected

2035 was to bridge last light to exodus as they were writing exodus

[soft jay]

I know 2034 is spinoff

[round sentinel]

Not a spin off

Artyom canonically died in 2033 the book

His writing was supposed to be an anthology

That changed with the games

[soft jay]

It is because it doesn't follow Artyom's story it's completely separate it takes place in the universe but follows completely different characters

[round sentinel]

Well, actually I think it was changed in the book format of it

[carmine tide]

metro 2033 is still the best game

[round sentinel]

But the forum version he died

But that was around the time period of talks for the game so

[soft jay]

I am confused why there's Artyom in 2035?

[round sentinel]

Yeah that’s what metro was originally

An anthology

[soft jay]

Are there multiple versions

[round sentinel]

No

Artyom was supposed to die in 2033 and each book would follow different characters stories

That changed due to the games

2035 picked up after last light

[carmine tide]

i thought there were several books before the games

[round sentinel]

And lead into exodus

[round sentinel]

2 books

2033 which was Artyoms story

And 2034 followed Sasha

2035 was written two years after last light came out

[carmine tide]

all i want is a truly open world metro game where you explore the moscow metro and ruins

idc whos in it

[soft jay]

I thought gluhovsky wanted to separate the game Artyom from the book Artyom

[lone moss]

The foregrip being out far as possible always fucking kills me

[round sentinel]

Nah, it all got merged

[carmine tide]

why does dd do that

[soft jay]

Metro as imerssive sim

[round sentinel]

I think that mindset was during the original 2033 release

[lone moss]

No idea but it’s hilarious every time I see one

[round sentinel]

And maybe LL

[round sentinel]

Honestly. Wouldn’t be bad, but it would need to have some sorta linear progression

The way stalker does it is great

[carmine tide]

hell make it a pvpve mmo

[round sentinel]

Well, the original trilogy

Die

[carmine tide]

the factions would be perfect for it

you already know which one im joining

[round sentinel]

The bad guy for yet again another game

[carmine tide]

[round sentinel]

I don’t mind it, but I’d prefer to expand on the evil shit the order was doing and the gov remnants

[soft jay]

The nazis?

[round sentinel]

Or more of the reds

[round sentinel]

Yeah

[carmine tide]

the government bunker was the best part of exodus

[round sentinel]

❌

It was just ok

[soft jay]

Subpen?

[round sentinel]

Volga was by far the best part

Caspian had a lotta issues but it had that peak spider segment

[carmine tide]

i hated caspian

[round sentinel]

Yeah, it was just a flawed af design

[carmine tide]

if i wanted to drive a piece of shit in the desert id play mad max

[round sentinel]

Humanimals were also dogshit

Like genuinely abysmal

They didn’t need to be in the game at all

[carmine tide]

the library is still the best segment out of all the games

[round sentinel]

Which part of that mission set

[soft jay]

Librarians

[round sentinel]

The library itself only

Or the entire lead up included

[blazing temple]

What a good game

[carmine tide]

leadup and being in the library

[round sentinel]

Ok, respectable take

I love all the spider segments of all the games

[blazing temple]

Nuh uh

Evil spiders

Should not be interacted with at 4am

[round sentinel]

Someone’s scared of spiders

Kek

I love them as a game design and aesthetically a ton

[blazing temple]

Not too fond of arthropods

[round sentinel]

Kek

I mainly love that they can be dealt with in a lot of ways

[soft jay]

I mean the mechanic of them being scared of light and if your lighter run out of juice you had on your hand big problem was really smart design idea

[round sentinel]

They aren’t a shoot only mindless enemy

[round sentinel]

Fr

Their lairs were also just super cool

[blazing temple]

I only played last light and I played most of it very late at night while I was very sleep deprived

[round sentinel]

Kek

[soft jay]

And for spiders there was a solution lots buckshot

[blazing temple]

The ending of that game was a fever dream that I do not remember

[carmine tide]

which one

[round sentinel]

It was half a fever dream even if you were awake

[soft jay]

I think every game ends with acid trip

[blazing temple]

Confix when he reads

[round sentinel]

KEK real

[soft jay]

Honestly open world metro in style of fallout set in 2033 wouldn't be bad idea

[round sentinel]

I have mixed feelings

[carmine tide]

reading is for nerds

[round sentinel]

Modern open world isn’t the move

[carmine tide]

thats why i havent field stripped my sp5 yet

[round sentinel]

Something like the original stalker trilogy or dishonored

Of chained small open worlds

Yeah

That’s the move

[soft jay]

Maybe deus ex

[round sentinel]

So you can still have proper linear progression but have that open exploration

Yeah Deus ex did that too didn’t it

[carmine tide]

i think the surface should be like that, like different sections of moscow can only be accessed through specific stations

[round sentinel]

I’ve played them very little

[carmine tide]

but the metro should be 1 area

[round sentinel]

It also shouldn’t be completely open either

[carmine tide]

also add a battlepass

[round sentinel]

That ruins the linear progression of the story

KEK

[soft jay]

You can cut metro into chunks each station is separate map

[round sentinel]

You def could

[soft jay]

With its own side quests etc.

[carmine tide]

i hate loading screens i think the metro can be 1 area

[soft jay]

Like in deus ex

I am referring to the human revolution and mankind divided

[round sentinel]

I’m betting it’ll be pseudo linear like exodus tho

[blazing temple]

God I love dishonored we need more games like that

[round sentinel]

REAL

[carmine tide]

except theres only one good dishonored game

[round sentinel]

We’ve been discussing ideas for a game and dishonored 1 always comes up as a reference

Cause it’s just designed so well

[blazing temple]

That is not true

[round sentinel]

Dishonored 2 was very eh

[carmine tide]

1 is literally the perfect stealth game

[round sentinel]

^

[carmine tide]

the rest are trash

[blazing temple]

Theres one bad dishonored game and its not even that bad

[round sentinel]

It lacked a few things tho. As good as it was

[soft jay]

Prey comes to mind when it comes to open world linear games

Or system shock

[round sentinel]

Namely a way to do non lethal besides the sleep dart once aggro’d

[round sentinel]

Oh yeah true

[carmine tide]

never finished prey

[blazing temple]

Brick meet head

[carmine tide]

was kinda boring

[round sentinel]

Kek

[carmine tide]

system shock

[soft jay]

You aren't into imerssive sims I guess

[carmine tide]

whos gonna tell him

[round sentinel]

My issue with many immersive sims is the lack of direction

[carmine tide]

i have 3000 hours in dcs

[round sentinel]

Peripeteia cough

[carmine tide]

ive just become competent in the f4

[blazing temple]

Dcs is not an immersive sim its a fucking flight sim

[carmine tide]

whats the second word in that

[round sentinel]

Even if you want all that world immersion, you should still guide players towards the main progression

[carmine tide]

checkmate liberal

[round sentinel]

No it’s a completely diff genre

[soft jay]

Added verticality and parkour everything makes it understandable it's difficult to navigate

[blazing temple]

Average confix being difficult because he can

[round sentinel]

No not that. It’s the lack of pointing the player towards the main goal at all

It’s completely hands off

I finished the game and honestly it’s set up like dogshit

[carmine tide]

my mamaw outdrank en entar road crew in vicco one time

[round sentinel]

At least mission carry over was finally added

[soft jay]

You would love system shock the only direction you get is through listening to audiologs and reading messages

[round sentinel]

No see that’s fine

I don’t mind that at all

[carmine tide]

ive played the remake 3 times

[round sentinel]

That’s how the old amnesia and penumbra games handle it too

It’s a great method

[soft jay]

Great game at first I was lost I didn't know what to do I was stuck in the medical wing despite following directions

[olive meadow]

Not very much, whats up?

[olive meadow]

I'll be there in June

[round sentinel]

Just looking at one of their mounts cause I have a very specific need. And they offer one

[olive meadow]

they're quality..

[soft jay]

As for immersive sims I don't think we will see much when it comes to high budget games, because it require gamers to think

and it probably wouldn't sale well

[carmine tide]

crimson desert

[round sentinel]

Yeah they are def a niche genre

[carmine tide]

love that game

[round sentinel]

That’s not an immersion sim

Lmao

[carmine tide]

50 cent blood in the sand

[soft jay]

Assassin creed is immersion Sim you are free to explore

[carmine tide]

dune (1984)

[round sentinel]

Yeah just looking at this mount rn cause it does everything I need. I just wanna know if they are actually good as a company

[round sentinel]

KEK

[soft jay]

Spec ops the line is immersive sim

[round sentinel]

[soft jay]

You immerse as war criminal

[round sentinel]

Actually you wanna know what immersion adjacent game pisses me off the most

[carmine tide]

or just play dayz

[round sentinel]

Rainworld

[soft jay]

or Arma

[round sentinel]

Jesus Christ that game has 0 direction at all

[carmine tide]

thank god i cant be charged for crimes i committed in arma and dayz

[round sentinel]

Which is obnoxious because it’s super good

[carmine tide]

youtube is trying to groom me like a groyper grooms a twink it keeps recommending me samurai edge 92fs'

[round sentinel]

[olive meadow]

I can't say I know anything about the company

[round sentinel]

Yeah I getcha

[olive meadow]

Just that they used to be known for good things

[round sentinel]

That sounds like enough for me LMAO

I just need a pretty extreme cantilever mount with at least a 1.93 prolly

[soft jay]

Speaking about 92fs why Re9 has gay P320 I am surprised they didn't add random chance of Leon killing himself while holstering it kek

[round sentinel]

Just L22 issues

[olive meadow]

@round sentinel Why are we going to Moscow?

[round sentinel]

Metro 2039

[olive meadow]

Oh..

[round sentinel]

Kek

[olive meadow]

I'm actually going to moscow lol

[round sentinel]

What for

[olive meadow]

Hopefully I don't get fined and finger printed this time

Apparently we're going on a river cruise

[soft jay]

Are you heading for hearing before FSB about your heinous crimes committed against the motherland?

[olive meadow]

Well they already approved my VISA.. though that meant nothing last time..

[round sentinel]

LOL. Wife scheduled stuff got it

[olive meadow]

Usually I try not to go to places that are actively at war or hate americans, but here we are lol

[round sentinel]

lol yeah that’s a bit sketch af

[olive meadow]

And we get to try not to get blown up during a 10 hour layover in Quatar

[round sentinel]

Bruhhhh

[soft jay]

If you have seen Jack Ryan Chaos Theory it might be it

[soft jay]

Damn your wife really likes that thrill of danger

[round sentinel]

[soft jay]

Middle East Russia

[olive meadow]

If you don't know the story... 8 years ago I got fined and finger printed for being in a restricted area in Russia.... That they had approved me to goto on my visa..-_-

[carmine tide]

I think that's just Uzbekistan

[soft jay]

Where else there's an ongoing conflict?

[olive meadow]

Well originally we were going to fly through Turkey... Normally we'd go through finland but theyre not flying into russia at the moment

[soft jay]

How did you end up in restricted area in the first place puzzles me

[olive meadow]

The city my inlaws live in is in a restricted zone

[soft jay]

I see

[olive meadow]

Russia is weird..

[round sentinel]

thru Turk land

Ew

[soft jay]

I assume visa officers or however they are called made some mistake,

[olive meadow]

Also on Russian VISAs you have to put what towns & cities you're going to be going to, and they actually put them on the visa. When you get there you have to go register that you actually are in the city.. Well I went to do that, and thats when they told me I wasn't allowed to be there lol

Apparently I had to interview with the FSB before going..

[soft jay]

I didn't know there are restricted zones for tourists access

[soft jay]

Being American made it probably worse because they suspected you of being spy

[olive meadow]

Well, apparently its more than just tourists, because they made my inlaws move

[olive meadow]

Well.. The day we flew out they detained a Marine in Moscow for suspected espionage.

Apparently, what I do isn't really a thing in russia either, so it was probably suspicious lol

[soft jay]

Possibly, good thing they let you go back and didn't come up with something to keep you there until things clear up.

I assume things would take much different turn because it would turn into problem of diplomatic nature

[olive meadow]

We shall see

[soft jay]

Do you think the story will repeat?

If your inlaws got moved to different zone

[olive meadow]

Not likely

We're going to Moscow this time.. They're used to the blue passports

[lunar marsh]

New work rig, reminds me of being back in a patrol car lol

[soft jay]

The interceptor ak ford explorer

[olive meadow]

yekaterinburg doesn't get too many americans

[soft jay]

Well let's hope the fact there's an ongoing 3 days special military operation it won't get in your way during your stay

[lunar marsh]

My last take home

[olive meadow]

Popo

you just brought back trauma

[soft jay]

Were you in the front or back seat?

[olive meadow]

We don't talk about that

[soft jay]

[olive meadow]

I just meant seeing a Tacompton cruiser

[lunar marsh]

They’ve went to more classic black and whites since I left

Went and had lunch last summer with some old detective buddies and the lot is all black and whites now

[olive meadow]

Been about 5 years since i was there

[lunar marsh]

Make it 50 more

[olive meadow]

I'm going to Moscow before Tacoma lol

[lunar marsh]

Good choice

[olive meadow]

Probably safer too

[rocky matrix]

you live in WA?

[lunar marsh]

Ya…no longer by
choice

[thorny flame]

do you need the cantilever to clear something

[blazing temple]

They put my boy on state arrest. Free my mans

[rocky matrix]

what does that mean 😭

[lunar marsh]

Stayed here after the Army because my wife is here. Used to be a great place. Became a political shit hole the past 10 years…wife still has me here

[carmine tide]

damn you deborah

[round sentinel]

Yesnt. I need it to sit far enough back to sit over the third pin to limit zero flex

And tall enough to work with the bullpup setup

[rocky matrix]

i see

[round sentinel]

That silver pin is the third pin that gives the top rail its structural support. A normal short cantilever just isn’t enough

And I’m gonna try to remove the riser. Hence the 1.93

Should be right about the same height at this

Since it’s a ~.4 riser

The top rail extension piece does sit against the lower, and once it’s machined it’ll be way more rigid obv. Flex should be minimal per my design, but I’m going for Yknow, ideal

[thorny flame]

definitely tricky short of redoing the entire rail interface

[round sentinel]

I already did

The rigid pin cannot move any further forward unless A&K changes the internal receiver cut

Which… I might be able to convince him to do

[thorny flame]

is that something they just never really considered in the 1.0?

i guess they figure everyone is just running full length with a dot or whatever

[round sentinel]

The normal BRN rail just rests on the lower

It’ll flex

Actually my printed rail prob flexes less than the normal rail

He couldn’t figure out how to get a rigidity pin set up with it, so he wants to use my setup for more rails

[blazing temple]

doesnt adm make long mounts like that

[round sentinel]

Not long enough tbh

They have like a 3/4in cantilever

It’s better than what I have

But not as much as I’d like

[thorny flame]

yeah this is one of the things they tried to mitigate with the MCX receiver length

but i think everyone runs into the LMT patent

(which expires this year?)

[round sentinel]

Maybe?

[thorny flame]

i believe so

SOON

[round sentinel]

Either way, niche use shit

This mount looks like it may work

It’s out of stock rn but

That’s fine for now

I’m sending the lower off to get converted for an AR safety soon anyways

[thorny flame]

i guess just one of the downsides of using the brownells vs their own in house receiver

have they talked about doing a 2.0 or something

[round sentinel]

Nah

It’ll be able to use other upper and end plates later but as far as I know he doesn’t have any plans for that rn

[thorny flame]

i was thinking too that other project that uses the jakl upper, but that's gross

[round sentinel]

Well the stock endplate is removable and it’ll be able to take FM15 and jakl later for sure

[thorny flame]

unfortunately the 2000s shaped problem of our era is continuous top rail

[round sentinel]

The A3 triad isn’t bad

[thorny flame]

it's a vibe

in for the cyberpunk future

[round sentinel]

They make a metal version for the CMMG dissent and arak upper

Go look at that version

It looks good with the 10.5 cmmg

[thorny flame]

the arak is back but i feel like they get no love

maybe just cost prohibitive?

[round sentinel]

They are always in and out of stock

Very low volume I think

[thorny flame]

well for years you couldn't even fucking buy one

[round sentinel]

Yeah

[thorny flame]

and then out of the blue they're like IT'S BACK

[round sentinel]

It’s still kinda like that

I really wanna bullpup one on the A3 aluminum bullpup conversion

Ambi ejecting? Like Ayo

And beefy bolt

[round sentinel]

Like cmon

This is p cute

I just don’t like those lightening cuts in the upper itself

And it has a spot for a rear selector whenever a dissent frt comes :)

[thorny flame]

i hate CMMG's design language

but the guns are fine

[round sentinel]

Yeah same

Solid quality guns and design features. Just

Why this aesthetic

It’s so ugly

[blazing temple]

this looks like it would be meta in whatever cod we are on now

[round sentinel]

Real tho

[thorny flame]

all of these engineering types think they have a flair for design

and they are wrong

and then the guys who do kinda get it

like the 10/22 chassis guy

[round sentinel]

Function design > all

[thorny flame]

yeah it's sort of self evident if you just build the thing

[round sentinel]

Yeah

[thorny flame]

but guys chase space gun too hard

understandable

[blazing temple]

yeah sure something like that

[round sentinel]

I do get the appeal don’t get me wrong

[thorny flame]

i understand

[round sentinel]

But I like the aesthetic where it’s just built with purpose

Nothing else

[blazing temple]

Im sure you will never accidentally reach past the end of the handguard on that

[round sentinel]

LOL

[thorny flame]

it's a 10/22 man

[round sentinel]

Think how I feel with the L22 vesper

[blazing temple]

yeah 10/22 fingers left

[round sentinel]

If I have a finger slip up a bit I will lose a finger

[blazing temple]

mans got the slickest hanguard I've ever seen with no stop or nuffin

yeah but like you planned for that

you have something to hold on to

[round sentinel]

Yeah lmao

The vfg position still puts carbon from muzzle blast on my hand

[thorny flame]

i actually thing the most egregious of this is

all the strike industries stuff

they're not trying to hide it

[round sentinel]

REAL

and people buy it

[round sentinel]

😭

[thorny flame]

like guys please

[round sentinel]

Ok to be fair
