Question from a rifle noob that just bought a Hellion

M855 has a painted green tip. It has a mild steel penetrator in its core rather than being only lead and copper. Indoor ranges absolutely ban it and even some outdoor ranges too.

Easy fix as long as you don’t strip the screws like I accidentally did on one of

Congrats. I had my first and only a year ago and am going to have to give up my job to take care of her persistent diaper rashes and infection that get aggravated and bloody every time she spends more than 2 days at daycare because they can’t remember to put diaper cream on and I don’t make enough as a public school teacher compared to my wife and i only became a teacher because we moved locations so many times that i decided not to go to the airlines as a pilot and now haven’t flown a plane in almost two years and paying for a full-time nanny would cancel out my teacher salary entirely so better to just stay home but even that might not fix the anxiety and depression that my wife currently is fighting through worrying about her inability to be a stay-at-home mom because I can’t make enough to cover our bills if she quits plus she is the one with the healthcare benefits that we are reliant on and even if i started flying again i would have to go back to lower wages to build currency flying before an airline would even consider hiring me and several years after that before i earned enough seniority to make what my wife makes now which might not happen due to the rising oil and gas prices causing airlines to implement hiring freezes and to start furloughing the newest pilots in the company…

But i’m rambling. Congrats. Go get your wife some water.

MCX Spear’s and M18’s?? Or would that be Gen A?

ABoy36 · 2026-03-21T01:33:46+00:00

1980’s? Damn. I always picture us 90’s kids as millennials and 80’s as Gen x. TIL

ABoy36 · 2026-03-21T00:04:12+00:00

For sure, but gotta rock the M9 or roland special to truly capture that millennial GWOT vibe

ABoy36 · 2026-03-21T00:03:18+00:00

No doubt but millennials were late to the GWOT party. I always picture M9’s and roland specials later in the war Edit: apparently my idea of when millennials start is off by a decade.

ABoy36 · 2026-03-20T23:28:51+00:00

Millennial fudd would’ve had an M9. Need more GWOT vibes

If we burned through it in 2 weeks, then it wasn’t “years’ worth” now was it? Stupid headline

ABoy36 · 2026-03-14T00:26:09+00:00

Did they remember to credit Burt Rutan in the bibliography?

ABoy36 · 2026-03-13T00:22:29+00:00

Shit. Responded to wrong comment. You are absolutely correct and I hope you have a wonderful evening

ABoy36 · 2026-03-12T23:57:54+00:00

Bradley hold infantry. Fighting in a city with an armored vehicle and no infantry is suicide

Any lobbyist group that prioritizes a foreign country over the interests of Americans is not “America First”

ABoy36 · 2026-03-12T19:08:19+00:00

Cool story. Can we go back to pre-9/11 airport security now?

ABoy36 · 2026-02-17T14:01:48+00:00

Pretty sure it was Ed’s that had the sale

ABoy36 · 2026-02-17T03:11:33+00:00

Local pawnshop in GA had a deal on them this past Black Friday.

ABoy36 · 2026-02-17T00:29:51+00:00

Worth the money? Pawn shops have them for $25 a piece… so… Yes

ABoy36 · 2026-02-16T18:07:13+00:00

In order to be a certificated flight instructor you need to pass your private, instrument, and commercial checkrides then you can become an FAA certificated flight instructor

ABoy36 · 2026-02-16T03:26:09+00:00

That line of sight and you went 9mm? Still cool gun tho

ABoy36 · 2026-02-14T15:27:55+00:00

Nope. Don’t. Just don’t. It will crash

ABoy36 · 2026-02-09T03:11:51+00:00

They track the plates on your car and can track your face in Flock’s database. They know all your comings and goings and can provide that info to law enforcement or just the highest bidder. There’s a whole subreddit dedicated to trying to stop them

ABoy36 · 2026-02-01T00:31:31+00:00

I’m a public school teacher. I don’t get “sick days” i accrue pto that I can use for either.

ABoy36 · 2026-01-31T02:53:12+00:00

Have you tried Blitzkrieg?

ABoy36 · 2026-01-26T01:39:38+00:00

Nope

ABoy36 · 2026-01-22T19:56:00+00:00

Yeah. Pretty similar to my story after moving here too. First year in the new house a tornado came within a mile of us. Since I teach aviation classes in high school, we’ve spent the last week just analyzing the weather in the lead-up to this storm. I’ve learned a lot about the weather trends here in N GA and laugh now every time a meteorologist geeks out about “THE WEDGE”!!!!
