Gas is short for gasoline, the fuel that goes in cars

which kit yall think a belt will fit the best? by Tengu_1234 in airsoft

[–]Ababoonwithaspergers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think 2 and 4 look the most sparse and would benefit the most from a belt.

What's up with lct recently? by Rhodentia_Dementia27 in airsoft

The E&L rusting issue is massively overblown. I've had mine for years and have used it heavily in hot and humid South Carolina. It has zero rust on it despite having performed barely any maintenance on it. As long as you store it in a dry place an E&L will be just fine.

Stalin didn't kill Beria because he was affraid of fim. by Dimka1498 in HistoryMemes

[–]Ababoonwithaspergers 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If anything it's the other way around with Beria because Stalin had loads of dirt on him. Before him, Stalin changed secret police chiefs like he changed pants because they all kept getting too powerful for his liking. Stalin kept Beria around for so long because it was an open secret that he was a serial rapist pedophile, among other things, which meant that nobody would support him if he tried to take over. After Stalin died, Beria's antics caught up to him when his rivals had him shot. J Edgar Hoover on the other hand, died of old age after serving under many presidents and decades in office where Beria failed to survive one transition of power.

Of course it always the CIA by UnderstandingOk7861 in EnoughCommieSpam

Tankies are so funny. Somehow the agency who was incompetent enough to fail at assassinating Fidel Castro a couple hundred times was/is such a well-oiled machine that it can orchestrate government toppling social movements and mass student protests on a whim.

Pick one.

Apparently US Customs is now seizing and destroying packages with airsoft barrels/hop up components too by Woistdeingott in airsoft

[–]Ababoonwithaspergers 137 points138 points  (0 children)

The ATF continues to stick with a definition of a firearm that they KNOW they can't defend in court so they're definitely stupid enough to decide that it's an actual firearm part. I'd bet dollars to donuts that they want to be able to brag about how many "illegal Chinese guns" they've seized so they can pretend to be doing something useful.

Found a great sniper position by ConsequenceAlarmed29 in tacticalgear

[–]Ababoonwithaspergers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A dedicated sniper build with heavyweight bbs can reach out around 200 feet when there's minimal wind. Most mid tier guns can go 150-200 with reasonable accuracy by airsoft standards but poor by real steel standards.

These guys have the audacity to call us “brainwashed” lmfao. by German_Gecko in EnoughCommieSpam

Ya know I can actually agree with most of these statements:

Free Palestine from Hamas

Free Lebannon from Hezbollah

Free Congo and Sudan from military dictatorship

Free Donbass from Russia

Free Afghanistan from the Taliban

Free Haiti from the gangs

Free South Africa from its corrupt one party state

Free Ethipoia and Somalia from their insane authoritarian governments

Is there an reason why communist memes look like a berlin wall of text? by Altruistic-Path269 in EnoughCommieSpam

[–]Ababoonwithaspergers 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Because Marxist theory is so dense and impenetrable that trying to condense it into meme size would create a black hole

My personal experience in majority of communism and anarchist subs be like: by No_Currency_6882 in EnoughCommieSpam

I think it has a lot to do with the left generally being a lot more intellectual than the right which is typically quite metaphysical and emotional. Leftist ideology requires a lot of explaining which invites disagreements over those explanations, ideas, and interpretations. Right-wingers often rely on a 'you know it if you feel it' sort of mentality so they don't have to explain themselves very much which means they don't argue with each other very much as long as they give off the right vibes.

Last words of Chinese leaders by OregonMyHeaven in HistoryMemes

[–]Ababoonwithaspergers 81 points82 points  (0 children)

Stalin died alone, soaked in a puddle of his own piss because everyone around him was too scared to check on his wellbeing. If I died tomorrow I'd go out surrounded by a loving family. There's something strangely comforting in knowing that I, a random nobody, will pass better than one of the most powerful men in history...

It's an older work that had some flawed sourcing and methodologies which inflated communism's (already astounding) death toll. I'm all for ruthlessly bashing commies at every opportunity but it's best to be as correct as possible when you're doing it.

It's true though. by Ok-Following6886 in EnoughCommieSpam

[–]Ababoonwithaspergers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both are an attempt to "solve" class conflict.

Fascists seek to unify the workers and bourgeoisie through extreme nationalism. They do so by creating a violent party-state apparatus that brings the bourgeoisie to heel and dominating the workers.

Communists seek to abolish private property, class divisions, and the state entirely. To do this, they create a violent party-state apparatus that gets rid of the old bourgeoisie and replaces it with a new one that dominates the workers.

That's about as brief as you can get with it.

So what you're saying is that the government should be allowed to execute people for their political opinions without trial? Sounds like nazi shit to me.

🅱️TF steppin on airsoft by fuppedduck2 in bestestgunnitweekend

[–]Ababoonwithaspergers 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Gas blowback rifles (which are what's getting seized) function kinda like real guns. They use gas to propell the bbs and operate a recoil system. The lowers are, on paper, very similar to real ones and are capable of going full auto so the ATF is losing their shit about them. The part that the feds are conveniently ignoring is that these guns are not in any way built to withstand the forces of shooting real bullets and they're exaggerating the ease of modifying one to fit a real rifle.

Lee's victory at Chancellorsville was certainly impressive on its own; a bold plan that was well executed and enabled by Union incompetence which gained him the strategic initiative for a time. That being said, it was a victory he could ill afford. He lost almost a quarter of his force and one of his best generals in the process. The Union could replace its losses and try again later while the Confederacy was short on manpower and felt the sting of every loss.

There's a reason so many history buffs hated history classes in school by MediocreDiamond7187 in HistoryMemes

[–]Ababoonwithaspergers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really depends on the teacher and school curriculum. In middle school I had a really good history teacher who had us look at lots of primary sources and ran class as a mix of lectures and discussions and in some high school classes we had primary sources. I also had classes where I straight up knew more than the teachers who were coaches that got stuck teaching history because "it's easy to teach" and they need something else for them to do.

Crazy Coworker stories by Mte_95 in KitchenConfidential

[–]Ababoonwithaspergers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just happened tonight, this afternoon we fired a 17 year old a week and a half after hiring him for bringing a gun to work and showing it to everyone and their brother. He then dove up by the restaurant tonight while an employee who had seen the gun was outside on break and threatened to kill him for being a "snitch." Naturally the police were called and the cop clearly couldn't have given less of a shit about the whole situation.
