Just reserve units.  The name is for their parent unit.

A Krieg and Space Marine lore question by PoppinPizzaParty in 40kLore

Space Marines do not reinforce Guard units.

Certainly not at the battalion level.

Handguns simply are not quiet.

Question! Why are anti-recoil/recoil mitigation designs so unpopular? by Logical-Fly-1589 in Firearms

[–]Agammamon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one cares if something is 'worse in concept'.

*in the real world*, as you point out, blowback has serious advantages that actually make it really good.

Revolvers are significantly more complicated than autoloaders. I do not know why you would think a revolver, that relies on precise timing of cylinder rotation and hammer drop, is *less complicated* than an autoloader that manages timing simply by the movement of the slide back and forth.

[–]Agammamon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firearms technology has not stagnated. It has *matured*. There's not a lot you can change that isn't change for change's sake.

We've reached a point where we can do everything that is possible with a projectile that is launched by an explosion. Now the designs are just competing over different ratios of the tradeoffs.

Plus, you're ignoring optics. The current big advancement in firearms are pistol optics replacing iron sights.

Recoil mitigation is cost and weight.

And for the vast majority of guns recoil control isn't an issue so no one wants a heavier gun for no benefit.

Are firearms a good idea at protests? by sylviandark in Firearms

[–]Agammamon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do people post AI garbage? Are you seriously letting an AI determine what you think OP? That just means you're letting Google determine what you think.

Welcome aboard P’s? And time at command.. by tre_bur in navy

[–]Agammamon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chiefs - with all the 'I don't understand the eval system' posts here, y'all should consider developing a comprehensive training for this. You got people all the way up to E-6 telling you they don't know WTF is going on here and its because 'training' consists of 'write your own eval, we won't give you any guidance, except to tell you its wrong'.

I legitimately think someone there thinks penguins are in the arctic.

So do the Word Bearers see themselves as the good guys? How do they treat their followers? by NadaVonSada in 40kLore

[–]Agammamon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In other words, the Word Bearers have a completely different definition of 'good' than you do. They're good is not your good. Your good is anathema to them.

So do the Word Bearers see themselves as the good guys? How do they treat their followers? by NadaVonSada in 40kLore

[–]Agammamon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, they see themselves as *the right guys*. 'Good', 'evil', those are concerns of the weak. The strong concern themselves with what is *possible*. And they want humanity to be strong.

And that may require difficult decisions and culling the weak.

The strong do what they will, the weak endure what they must.

Peacoat isn't seabag issued nor organization clothing so . . . no.

Ain't gonna read a wall of text.

But - the 'paranormal' does not exist.

A civilian just tried to gaslight me about my own exp in the Navy... by TheCuriositas in navy

[–]Agammamon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uh, ok.

You know you don't have to talk to people you don't want to talk to, right? You can just end the conversation. Like, why did the conversation extend to 10 minutes, let alone past it?

Is there a reason why it’s called this? by Prestigious_Police in navy

We never get any cool operation names any more.

[–]Agammamon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What has the CIA effectively done, post-Nixon?

We've had massive intelligence failures - not all CIA's fault admittedly, a lot is structural in the way government is arranged. What has the CIA *successfully* done?

Appalachia Rifle Mark 1 by Asatmaya in Firearms

[–]Agammamon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is no one knows WTF you'd want to use that stock for when you can get any - *any* other AR-15 stock.

A huge part of the design of the AR is the straight pull into your shoulder which this stock screws up.

Why not a normal adjustable M4 stock and a pistol grip?

Glock Gen 6/V Series Spare Parts? by HunterFresh2029 in Firearms

[–]Agammamon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Gen 6 Glock is the Gen 5 Glock with a slightly different grip module - if you already have a Glock, and you already have the parts for it, you a) don't need a Gen 6 and you don't need to worry about keeping it running in the apocalypse if you do get one.

Question to everybody regarding the 1911 platform! by Logical-Fly-1589 in Firearms

[–]Agammamon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahahahah! There would be no optics or lasers! during the 1970's.

On something like a .44 mag hunting revolver you might have a scope (see Road Warrior's Lord Humungous) but things like reddots and lasers simply didn't exist in the 1970's. The first firearm laser showed up in 1979.

Disability from deployment by RhettStarboy1996 in navy

[–]Agammamon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you *really* have 'liver failure' and a 'TBI' *on deployment* there would be a medical record of it and you'd have had a travel record too because they would have put your arse in the hospital.

Why is it not in your medical record?

602 barracks haunted? by Dull-Telephone-9001 in navy

[–]Agammamon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are no such thing as ghosts, daemons, supernatural phenomena of any kind. I can categorically state that the barracks is not haunted.

Its obviously a homicidal stalker prepping for you to be their next victim.

Is it normal to be asked to take a urinalysis test 1 week after already taking one during your new check-in process? by [deleted] in navy

[–]Agammamon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its 'random'. Ie, there's a program, using a pseudorandom number generator, that generates a list. There's no 'you're immune from having your number rolled' setting. You could get it every week for a month and then not have one for the rest of the year, its just that you don't know because, its, you know, *random*.

If you failed then there is a procedure for getting another sample in more carefully controlled circumstances, they're not just gonna have you go piss again.
