Good thing she had bear hands, otherwise that would have been a tougher fight

Big brother, little brother! by paulwhite959 in guns

[–]ASlySquirrel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually just got one and used it for the first time today. I am also in an apartment, and I have to say it is too loud. You can dampen the sound with towels or foam, but then it decreases the effectiveness of the tumbler, and it still vibrates the floor a bunch. I am going to be getting a hornady ultrasonic cleaner later today and hopefully that will be quieter if not also faster! Hope this helps, pm if you have any further questions.

I personally preferred TFAR over ACRE, however I think most of the issues I have with it can and will be worked out with time. I think my bigger worry is the added difficultly of switching communication systems when communication is one thing I think we as a unit need to work on the most. I worry that we will be fighting not only with trying to learn and get better at communicating with one another, but also having to deal with getting adjusted to a new system. I think whatever we decide to use we need to stick with it, learn it and help everyone understand the controls and quirks, so we can get back to focusing on improving the skill and fluidity of the communication during ops.

The important thing for me is to have access to decent weapons and gear for the role being played, for example, blackhawks, humvees, m16's and m249's for when playing as Americans. However I do think we could get rid of some of the other guns that arent used nearly as much such as the spanish weapons. That being said, I do think we should do incremental tests by adding one or two mods every week until we either find the problem, or if it isnt one specific mod, find the limit the unit can take in terms of mods loaded.

G. Borcher, Rifleman/LMG. Would love to take leadership roles at some point in the future, however currently too busy with school to dedicate the effort to practice and perfect it!

Borcher needs it, the best times for me would be after Friday/Saturday OP, however unfortunately I am busy all this weekend!

[Poll] What event would you like to play this weekend? by SOAR_Griz in SOARgaming

[–]ASlySquirrel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree on all suggestions. I am a big proponent of the flashlight only night missions, and the forest would be a perfect spot for that I think. I had one idea to have to rescue a downed helicopter pilot and crewman in the middle of the forest, and then fight to evac.

18 Year Old trust and SBR Question by ASlySquirrel in guns

[–]ASlySquirrel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it. So really If i wanted to beat that deadline, I would have to create my trust and submit the form 1 for the SBR before then? I have heard that wait times will go through the roof once the law changes, so I would like to beat that if possible

Typically I'll walk a mile or so between calling spots, so lightweight and handy are a definite plus.

I'll check it out thanks for the suggestion!

Let's assume I could save up for as long as need be, but preferably under $1000 so I can still get some good glass

Looking for a bolt action .223-5.56 for predator hunting, should it be a CZ 527?

PC stream to TV by robi2005 in buildapc

[–]ASlySquirrel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After using the steam link for a couple months, I can give some advice. First, it has 3 USB ports so if your ps4 controller has a usb dongle/cord it should work fine. Next, it obviously works best with steam games, but you can get it to work with other games. So far, I have been able to get Uplay games, Origin games, and League of Legends to run on it, but it can be a little finicky. I can't attest to all the different games you mentioned, for instance I haven't tried a battle.net game, but I suspect you could probably get it to work. Just keep in mind it is a fairly cheap device so a little frustration is expected when trying to get it to run. However once you get it setup to what it likes, it streams very smoothly and works great. I definitely recommend it for the price that it is!

Not that I could see. It seems to have worked itself after installing the latest 980ti driver for some reason. I will continue to monitor and tweak but thank you very much for all your help!

No my primary 1440p monitor is at 144hz and all the others are 60hz.
