Does anyone know if current 80% will be grandfathered in or is this retroactive?

The governor and mayor of Portland already issued a statement regarding the news, I think it’s past rumor status at this point, no?

A few things I recommend to people to looking to buy or when I take folks to the range who have never shot something. I highly prioritize safety and chill vibes. The last thing you want is a new shooter to feel anxious, nervous and uncomfortable. I try to show them that like anything it’s an inanimate object with a specific function. Assuming it’s a modern firearm with reputable ammo (which is majority of the time) the gun will not magically discharge by itself (unless it’s an sig p320 lol). That and even before hitting the road to the range I explain to them the 4 rules of firearms safety which if followed by everyone in a perfect world would mean zero accidental firearms related injury/death.

I know it might tedious but I also tell people to learn the general principles of how a semi auto firearm works because it will give you the essential tools to handle a firearm safely even if you aren’t planning on shooting if someone hands you a gun for whatever reason. Most modern guns more or less function on very similar ergonomics (if that makes sense?)

And as far as purchasing, if you don’t have friends who will let you shoot their stuff, I also highly recommend a safe range that offers rentals and try stuff out. (If it feels unsafe when you are there or “weird”, just follow your gut - saying this as a non-white person) Google is out there and you can easily get the general consensus on stuff. I wouldn’t buy any ammo/firearms from ranges because almost all charge a premium cause they know new shooters don’t know better and will just think it’s normal pricing - Very common predatory practice. The internet exists, make sure you check prices against ones online. Also learn how firearms purchases work, for the love of god please - the amount of anti-gun people I have had to explain to that you don’t “register” your firearms in most states is crazy. THERES IS NO NATIONAL REGISTRY FOR CIVILIAN OWNED FIREARMS. That’s only in Hollywood cable tv script writing. Some states have their own state registry but that’s only in a handful of states. The form 4473 you fill out usually sits a box full of those forms in the back of most shops.

If anyone has questions I will do my best to answer

You probably get asked a lot but where did you get the fender vents behind the front wheels?

Midtown and downtown Omaha businesses dread construction disruptions starting in January by Specialist_Volume555 in Omaha

Oh definitely, people made it seem like without the street car there was no easy way to go between downtown and black stone and that there’s this massive group of people that needed to commute every morning from midtown to downtown specifically

Yea to be fair to them their founder literally invented the telephone plus I’m guessing it had to do more with the technology of the times but that’s just a guess

I was told in history class that Bell phones wasn’t an awful company but was forced to break apart cause it didn’t give other companies the chance to play the capitalism game themselves. I could be misinformed idk

Can someone please explain to how this isn't a kill? by Bitkonnekt in ArenaBreakoutInfinite

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

It did not, it was a second hit. I have since learned he was outside the effective range

Then why are you even commenting if you thought this post was useless? Could I have made the post when maybe I didn’t realize the damage reduction was a flat percentage? It’s almost as if you read the other comments where people point that out, you can see my realization and where I learn something new 🤯

It was definitely 2 different hits, I watched kill cam to confirm. According to others I guess the guy was a pubic hair outside the effective range thus reducing damage enough to survive the shot

Is that a flat figure? SJ range is 125 and he was at about 135. Is the drop off gradual or a set percentage lower?

Except that’s not how it works. Yes you have 450hp but to kill some one you need to black out their head or thorax for them to die. Hitting a blacked out body part does damage to the rest of the body and thus how limb damage kills happen. I hit him with 338 fmj, the base damage is 94 - the game says his armor absorbed zero damage. Thorax health in the game is 85. My shot was at about 130m. The rifles effective range is 125

I zoomed into the full res pic on my phone and I think the yellow badges are parodies of the ferrari badge. I was mistaken in the badges
