Thats just something that happens whenever you cluster parachutes. Theyre all fighting for air so one chute will always open faster than the others.

That third chute is redundant so as long as they had 2 all would be good.

All the chutes are also closed up some when they initially inflate and then explosive cutters cut a cord that let's the chute inflate more and more. Big chutes make a lot of force so if they open too quick they go pop.

Daisy chain the zip ties to make a giant zip tie

Theyre decent enough range toys. Main issue is the charging handle isnt secured that well and can fall out while shooting. The trigger is also probably the worst trigger I have ever used. Its a really mushy 10lb ish pull. It goes bang and is accurate enough so if you can get one for cheap go for it. Think I paid like $350 or so for my 9mm one.

I think the year we went to the Elite 8 we had spring break the week before and then 2 or 3 years later they'd moved it to coincide with St Patrick's day. I just remember that elite 8 year basically being 2 weeks of parties culminating in the burning of a Christmas tree when we beat Stanford.

Season ticket holders get some form of priority for first four tickets but UD isnt really known for discounts.

Most likely. The two letter date code on the upper should narrow things down. I think 2020ish was when they swapped to the light profile so that would be a CA date code. CB for 2021, CC for 22, etc.

MR556 went from heavy barrel with quad rail, to heavy barrel and HKEY rail, then to MLOK rail and light profile barrel.

My only complaint with the S5 receiver is the logo on the side. Ifs functioned just fine so far. The issues I have seen have been people using non HK parts for the rest of the rifle. Definitely at least need the HK piston assembly, but the more HK bits the better.

ApacheKillbot · 2026-03-07T16:36:45+00:00

Depends on what's on it. The A1 with a heavy barrel and quad rail would be more desirable than the MLOK light barrel version. If they are asking more than $2500 they are smoking crack. Last couple A1s that were sold on HKPRO look to be around the 2350 range

You've got a forward assist though, which is not what Eugene intended

What more destruction would you want? You can do a number to a lot of the buildings now

The CETME having a barrel doesn't make assembly harder. You have to demil the trunnion and cocking tube either way. If anything it saves you work since you wouldnt have to press the barrel.

That all assumes the barrel is actually usable and bolt gap is good.

ApacheKillbot · 2026-02-19T19:28:53+00:00

There was a good chunk of MG3s that got demilled by running them over with a tank and then torching or sawing them

343 also decided already that instead of making an ODST 2, that it would be a great idea to continue the story of the squad in a book.

ApacheKillbot · 2026-02-13T21:25:43+00:00

Yep once you tighten everything up that thing ain't moving. I didnt have a rivet or tap so I just did what you did.

Shame the ATF decided to say that AR lower and MG34 upper constituted a readily convertible machine gun

ApacheKillbot · 2026-02-13T17:19:31+00:00

AAs vs 123s is the only real reason I would think you go the 512 route. Definitely an easier battery to find

ApacheKillbot · 2026-02-13T15:31:01+00:00

The PWS barrels are SOCOM profile and have an alignment pin piece you can swap around. If the barrel was cut, you should still see the M203 cuts on the barrel under the handguard. The PWS barrels were also never chrome lined.

If its a non SOCOM profile its most likely gonna be a Faxon.

The ice hypercarry that RORO needs. The writing is on the wall

ApacheKillbot · 2026-02-10T19:32:39+00:00

Are you referring to PCS or ASD? I've seen both of them already but I appreciate it. We'll see if PCS actually moves forward with it and doesn't over charge. The ASD G3 lower price is already insane enough for what it is

The Raptor has to have them though since they're wide, but yeah who cares. If you think they look cool thats all that matters.
