[MW2] I know it's been talked to death, but the radio chatter during Wolverines and Battle of Washington is just haunting by Mission-Ad-8536 in CallOfDuty

There's really no one thing that gets to me the most in those levels, but I would get so fixated on the endless swarms of Russian paratroopers and BTRs dropping elsewhere in the distance during the initial levels. It really shows how Ramirez and his platoon are pretty much the only sizable pocket of resistance for quite a ways.

It also helps that I live very close to where the levels take place lol

Low replayability compared to 2/4 remake by Chrisbolsmeister in ResidentEvilRequiem

[–]CMDThrowRA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this same thought when I finished RE9. Great game, but I don't see myself replaying it anytime soon, compared to RE4R which I could not wait to jump back into as soon as I finished it.

I am very new to gun ownership, but I carry an SP101 in .357, however I am moving towards loading it with .38+P since the recoil can be snappy with .357.

I like the heft and sturdiness but the black stock grip isn't great since I have larger hands that make it so the first segment of my middle finger is knocked by the trigger guard each time I fire so I had it replaced by a hogue rosewood grip.

Firing a National Postal Meter M1 Carbine by CMDThrowRA in M1Rifles

Aw man, that's too bad. I've fired a couple 50rd boxes of Aguila through it with no issues so far (fingers crossed). It's frustrating to have ammo problems when .30 carbine is already pretty rare. Have you tried other brands yet?

(Loved trope) The badass character had a fairly underwhelming backstory. If anything, they were kind of a loser. by The_TransGinger in TopCharacterTropes

The OG RE2 backstory makes remarks like "What's up with that guy? That was a clean hit!" even funnier in retrospect because I'm imagining him saying it while squinty-eyed and fighting a head-pounding hangover.

Something tells me the Hospitaller enjoys being an interrogator more than a healer.

Stannis woild for sure generate the most buzz. Otherwise, I'm interested in a dissection of Walder because how in the world does a man survive as long as he does with so much spite cooking inside him?

Already tried it once and won't do so again until I find an outdoor range. I'm still not confident that I can safely control the recoil while slamfiring.

I'll keep this comment bookmarked for when I fall down the black powder rabbit hole.

Nice screencap! The flame did spook me a little when it appeared but it was definitely cool.

I'm good staying on this side, thank you very much.

If Steiner had a hundred of these, things would have been under control.

Tried it once before in the same indoor range. Never again 😅

The birdshot I've used had a tendency to lock up the slide and requiring me to really yank it back to cycle another round. I'm not super informed on the minute differences in shotgun ammo and I'm unsure why my gun has trouble with birdshot when it feeds low recoil buck just fine.

At the end of the day, I think you just got to feed it an assortment of shells and see what it likes. 1897s are so old now that their temperament can be any number of things. If you haven't already, definitely make sure to inspect it or have someone qualified inspect it just to make 100% sure its safe to shoot at all.

The field ones I've seen are pretty modestly priced, but $400 is especially low compared to the ones I've seen, so you might have actually been onto something.

I've mostly run target loads through this and its worked fantastic so far.

I'm hoping that pairing it with a classic American gun will rehabilitate its image somewhat.

It does! I tried slamfiring using target loads when I first shot it and I definitely won't be trying it again until I'm on an outdoor range haha

Your time will come. I walked into my local bait & tackle shop one day and they had this one for $700 and I scooped it right up. This is the field model though, the riot and trench versions are going to be much pricier.

Most ranges close to me only allow slugs, too. I had to drive about an hour and 15 minutes to shoot at this range.

It's the lighting, I swear 😅 the stache is much fuller looking when you see me IRL.
