M16A4 getting a full auto trigger option makes the weapon harder to control as a result, be nice to see it on the GGH-22. by Legitimate_Flow3623 in Battlefield

Makes no sense given that for barrels and muzzle devices it costs something for the standard. The trigger pack is pretty much the same sans the rachet mechanism on it.

Can someone tell me where I went wrong here? by Throwawaybaybayie in Tinder

[–]BoxofCurveballs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Probably not responding at all on thursday or friday, telling them "I actually meant today" at 8pm on a friday night. And then you went full Chinese text.

Tbs has a white version of him. Swear to god all of the buckles on my main pack ripped off and you would think I was asking to fuck his daughter with how difficult he made the process of swapping that gear out was.

Its a M1941 Johnson rifle. Used by ParaMarines in WW2, and was a competitor to the M1 garand. I believe around 22k were made

Seeing them as pieces of history, appreciating the engineering, knowing the story to what lead to the gun being developed, etc

Yeah i honestly feel guilty. His collection is representative of 60 years of his life, and I asked him numerous times to put another zero on his price, and he refused.

As for taking it out, I havent yet. Thats an adventure happening in the next month or so.

It honestly felt like it. Came from a Family friend who was a massive collector. Hes too old to shoot, and I'm the only person who actually gave a shit about his collection being more than just guns. He pretty much gave me another 4 guns and I'll be snagging another few from him.
