its just a polite way of saying "gimme your money"

oh yeah its mostly because of cartel affiliates being there

this happened 4 years ago

it was a family that lived near us

#

they owned a couple businesses but this was the one they used the most

#

its usually what goes down when cartel has beef with someone

#

they usually just get their location from someone and go shoot the place up

#

the people that got killed were rival cartel members tho

#

so really nobody innocent was killed

#

you guys think youd still possibly be interested in that, or no fps no go?

naive maple
#

definitely not interested in any third person tactical shooters

#

third person games are fine for me if they are scifi or fantasy

#

you should make a mass effect-like game with choices and consequences, hasnt been one of those for years

wind cave
#

yeah thats one of the main purposes, that there will be choices/consequences

#

i always liked alpha protocol and definitely mass effect, too

#

so i wanted to put in features somewhat like that but less gimmicky

most of the tom clancy's are 3rd now, do you guys not like them at all? ik they're not realistic anymore, but theyre fun barbie milsims, that's not what im going for, but i feel like they could be realistic with the same look

naive maple
#

the ubishooters made since raven shield are horrific console shooters

#

i have no interest in them

wind cave
#

i get that

naive maple
#

i don't know why you want to make it third person to be honest

#

games like dishonored and cyberpunk show that you can still sell first person to people

#

you dont need to dumb the game down

wind cave
#

working with a new engine, it seems more feasible to control the camera in certain ways and the art style to make fancy looking animations

#

rather than first person which requires way more detial in animations that im not skilled at yet, i can do the code, but im still practicing with blender and getting better

naive maple
#

i prefer a shite looking first person

wind cave
#

and then also the detail that first person will require in other places to actually make it feel authentic

naive maple
#

like for example when you use the first person camera in gta5

#

its not made for it

#

but its still cool

wind cave
#

i agree

#

i was actually thinking id do both

naive maple
#

singleplayer or multiplayer?

wind cave
#

similarly, hit a key, and transition from 3rd to 1st

#

but i was gonna focus on 3rd first since i could do less and get a product

#

nope just single

#

if people liked it and it made sense, id incorporate multiplayer

naive maple
#

i dont like having both in multiplayer, because third person gives you an invisible "drone" for peeking walls, forcing everyone to partake in 3pp wall peeking

like dayz

# low fox just a question, do any of you seriously think you should be able to legally own...

I think responsible adults should be able to own pretty much anything if they have the means to afford it. The state is not a nanny. Marginally less danger is not worth curtailed freedom.
However I do think it's reasonable that the state institute certain requirements to own things so that literal crazy people, criminals, and children cannot access them. Background checks, psych evals, and age requirements are things I'd support to own certain items.

as a single person mind you

low fox

yeah i am aware of the NFA stamp process for suppressors

#

buying it, then having to do paper work, then waiting for like a year

muted gate
#

I find the suppressor I wanna buy, let's just say it's $1000 for arguments sake. I then need to go fill out a form 4, which is the four refill out for an NFA item transfer. On that form you gotta put why you want it your fingerprints, passport ID, all of that fun jazz. It's then sent off to the ATF, the ATF then sits on it for the next couple months and doesn't touch it. Then it finally gets across some dude's desk to process it and your information is then sent to the FBI, the FBI just runs a fucking 4473 NICS check.

#

The FBI then sits on it for a little bit and then sends it back to ATF, ATF then sits on their ass for a little bit while they're fucking with paperwork because they are dumb. The 80 of them process it you pay them all that fun jazz and then you can pick up your whisper pickle. And now that whisper pickle cannot be in anyone else's possession cause you filed as an individual not a trust and get fucked they're a felon and also you're a felon if they get hold of it. The check that they are doing is quite literally the same background check I take when I go buy a fucking gun from an FFL. Why the fuck does it take nine months

#

I should be able to go into my local gun store and say “I want that can”, do a backround check, pass, then walk out with it. Its fucking hearing protection

#

not to mention paying 200 dollars for that shit, which initiall was envisioned to be prohibitivly expensive for the average joe

#

200 bucks in 1934 would be $4,553.87 today

# low fox Do you think the screening requirements in the US right now are adequate?

No. Certainly not. A lot of very ridiculous legislation that makes no sense. (CA,NJ, NY, etc compliant regulations)
A crazy discrepancies between states that makes any superficial regulation worthless. (If I live in CA, I can just drive anywhere that sells 30, 50, 100 rd mags if I'm planning to need them)
It's really the incoherency of the regulations that's most infuriating.

#

And I'd be willing to swap the useless regulation for regulation that makes sense. Like a 25 year age requirement to buy a semi-automatic weapon. There's at least a sound reason for that.
Several EU countries have a system where someone needs to own a bolt action rifle/shotgun for a year to prove they're responsible. Then they can have access to semi-automatics/handguns. That makes sense.
I don't care for regulation. But if you're going to have it, make it make sense.

i think there should be more checks and considerations of domestic abuse reports and stuff like that tho

#

seems likea lot of mass shooters have a history of being on medication / lots of killers with legal guns with past domestic violence

#

but for most people it is, and for example, men with a ccw permit are statistically less likely to commit any violent crimes

#

everytime people ask questions like that though, you should have an answer of how you think it should be better. it's not as easy as it seems. its hard to tow the line between enough checking and restricting. does anyone who sees a therapist need to be banned? does anyone whos ever had any mental issue at all need to be banned? plus the fact that most crimes are committed with pistols, most murders, and most of them are stolen guns / illegally obtained

#

most gun crime/ mass shootings in america are ghetto people with illegal guns, coming from a black US citizen. it's just that now that it's beneficial to the 24 hours news cycle, reports that used to just be typical black people/ latino people shooting other black/latino people are now getting reported as mass shootings

#

to inflate the number and scare all of us. but the majority of gun crime in america is illegally obtained guns , not people legally buying guns and then going on a shooting spree

Most of those superficial laws make owning guns in those states less attractive and reduce gun sales. Are they effective in deterring people from purchasing in state? debatable. But I've heard quite a few accounts from shop owners in Cali where they start going over the requirements and the would be buyer decides not to purchase. Personally I'd prefer a licensing system with much much deeper background checks, as apposed arbitrary list of things you can't glue to your gun. But the NRA/gun lobby puts a stop to most of that and love fear mongering to push sales. IE Obama is coming to take your guns so people rushed to endlessly buy guns and ammo.

The whole legally/illegally obtained firearms point always feels weird to talk about. Plenty of things are illegal to own or do. Guess there is a ways to go on deciding how to filter out those that will actively be shit and actually fixing underlying societal issues like lack of resources in poor neighborhoods. Example being funding being taken away from schools in low income areas and poor social stability.

viral quarry
# snow scarab but you don’t want me to be able to own an ar15 until i’m 25?

I didn't say I wanted there to be an age requirement. I said it makes sense. A tremendous amount of gun crime is done by young idiot men. Legislation making it harder for young people to get guns makes sense. I disagree with it, but it has logic to it.
As opposed to the stuff in California, NY, NJ, etc regarding pistol grips, suppressors, and other nonsense that is entirely without any logic

i agree that being older would make sense too compared to all of the current ways, but i think that could be said for lots of things like driving too. and then there is @snow scarab argument that lots of 17 year olds are fighing in the military rn but then they cant own a gun by those rules
more so than age or anything like that i think it's like what @scenic lotus describes that actually improving peoples quality of life would be the best solution

No worries dude, I tend to not get to the point clearly lol. Mainly I'm picking at Governments should aim to make as many peoples lives as good as possible. People are often like electricity. They'll follow the quickest and easiest path to a goal and will weild tools to achive that goal. Take away the difficulty in securing resources and specific crime goes away and guns stop being such a big problem. There will always be shit birds but that's no reason to stop trying to make the world a better place n all.

i think more people who focus on these things should take a look at the majority of other countries around the world and realize that you're lucky as fuck to live in america/ anywhere in the western world

#

you're more likely to get struck by lightning twice than be in a mass shooting. it's still terrifying. but there's tons of people across the world right now where dodging bombs/gunfire is a real everyday thought/threat. finding clean water and food, medical care, literally the basic things we think nothing of

#

overall, life is still pretty good compared to how it could be just having been born somewhere else

#

i shoot better and am more disciplined than a lot of my family who were in the military , just to show the opposite side of that logic, but i agree

#

i do think there could be an age for rifles like there is for pistols

viral quarry
#

I don't think that's opposing logic, I think you're likely just an outlier.
I'm just saying that statistically, on average, a 17 year old in the military is more likely to be responsible with weapons than a 17 year old civilian.

wind cave
#

i agree, you're right, its more just an exception than opposing

wind cave
#

ye that was cringey

coarse laurel
#

I’m trying hard to be nice about it but when I hear stuff like this my eyes roll to the back of my head

wind cave
#

i don't think it actually has to be as cringey as you're making it. i'm not trying to make myself sound like something special at all, i don't mean like im more trained or anything like that, either way i get your point and how it would sound

coarse laurel
#

Also a difference between being conditioned to shooting moving targets under stress than shooting at stationary targets during ideal conditions. If we are talking about shooting skills. But I get how some non military folks believe and can shoot better.

wind cave
#

i just mean some people who didnt really care as much about the shooting tests / and that wasn't what they did and if they choose not to practice its fair that someoen who practices more could be a better shot

#

i agree 100%, again i wasn't trying to make myself sound like im on YOUR level or the average military trained person

#

i think you kinda know what i meant and from my response can hopefully tell i wasnt trying to sound like i think im jason bourne. i just mean literally that you could be anyone and if you go to the range and shoot and practice more than someone else, you can be better at that specific thing

#

im very aware im not capable of clearing rooms and everything else you listed

coarse laurel
#

Clearing rooms is overrated anyways

#

It got popular because of GWOT and the fact that we can’t just make whole buildings full of people go boom

wind cave
#

i'm gonna try to learn from those of you around me as much as i can though, i get how that sounded and the ignorance that kinda feels built into it. i didn't mean it that way.

# wind cave do lots of LE use nods?

Not lots really, probably a lot more common for swat and such than beat cops. Pretty sure my $900 monocular was used for a heli observer, but i can’t be sure.

pastel cipher
#

Im aware, i was just saying that within LE swat is more likely to have nods.

#

As they are the special weapons and tactics teams, they are more likely to use tactics that involve nods.

#

I mean i know for a fact that police aviation units have them, to do air search with.

#

If you’re already paying for a helicopter the added cost of a couple nods is not very much.

#

Yes, i think were saying the same thing in slightly different ways.

safe junco

Had a buddy out there doing ranger school a year back

#

He fucked his back up and was dequal

coarse laurel
#

Then I probably treated him at some point

#

Not trying to gate keep medicine or anything but did you attend classes or got professional training or is this self taught and stuff?

#

Sometimes I’d go on a whole medical tirade in here and it goes above a lot of people’s head.

safe junco
#

It’s a little of both. Their was classes local to me a year ago that I went to for 8 weeks and I’ve done a bunch of watching videos and stuff on youtube

#

Lol medical is very important to me

coarse laurel
#

Deployed medicine is a good resource

#

Ranger medic handbook is very useful

They said it was a TCCC type of class

#

Not to familiar with what that means

Basically the standard for across a lot of militaries for trauma

A lot of these guys need proper medical training

TC3 has a section about K9’s too

Like I was saying earlier. If they took a shot to anything other then arm or leg they would fall out and croak

Prolly the blood too

#

I don’t mind blood

I’ve dealt with my fair share of amputations

safe junco
#

I don’t until it’s pooled up infront of me

coarse laurel
#

I just hate patient management

#

Lol

#

I get to the point of injury, stabilize l, hit em with the special K and send em on their way

#

I try not to sit on casualties

#

K as in Ketamine

#

Or whatever narcotics I got at the time

#

I’ve done walking blood banks which is easy, but you know you are in a fucked situation if you have to resort to giving blood like that

#

Lethal triad is a big deal for trauma as well

#

Hypothermia is what a lot of folks miss, people fail to realize blood is also there to regulate your body temperature, that’s why when someone is bleeding out they get all cool and clammy

#

Throw a space blanket at the poor bastard after you stop the bleed.

safe junco
#

How do you guys keep the blood cold on the go like that

#

Ice packs I assume

coarse laurel
#

We have these cases that can be MOLLE’d to our gear but as much as possible we try not to carry blood out there. Usually it’s on the Med Evac platform or we just get them back to a role 1/role 2 which would have blood

#

We have blood fluid warmers on our person as well

#

As much as possible I won’t be doing anything invasive outside of NCD’d, IV’s, hell even crics on or near the X

#

Because the more interventions you do the more complicated it gets to move the casualty not to mention have to reasses every little thing

safe junco
#

Yeah I would not want to have to do any of that in a combat setting

coarse laurel
#

People fail to realize just because a packed wound or a TQ stops bleeding it doesn’t mean it will hold and will require reassessing every so often, legit seen the best TQ application I’ve seen still fail and required reapplication
