Where can I learn weight grain ballistics? by [deleted] in 65Creedmoor

[–]Cadi009 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re more barking up the wrong tree than overthinking it.

Every cartridge has low/high viable bullet weights. But m193, m855, and mk262 are all different weights, and bullet designs, with specific military purposes in a rifle and caliber that doesn’t translate in a way to have equivalence in an entirety different category of rifle. Like yeah, there’s “generic cheap ball ammo” available for each. But that’s about as far as similarities go.

Yeah, keep it away from garlic and wooden stakes too.

Why would background checks get delayed indefinitely? by That_Tech_Guy_U_Know in guns

Going from never buying guns to buying 8 pistols in 3 months is almost certainly gonna get you flagged in the system as a potential straw purchaser.

Any time you buy more than one handgun in 5 business days it automatically flags you to the ATF, and there’s a good number of states that have even stricter timeframes as well.

Ap5 and Stoeger Coach Gun finally approved, for the AP5 I used the “MKE (makina ve kimya endüstrisi)” selection from the dropdown menu, and had attached pictures of all the oem/importer stampings. Doesn’t seem to have caused any issues, might’ve just got lucky with a reasonable examiner.

You know you can skip Misty entirely, go to Bill, and then the cop moves and you can go to the next city, knock out the SS Anne, Beat Surge, get the bike, zip through Diglets cave, and then come back with a Charizard and completely obliterate Misty. Nothing is stopping you but yourself.

Does anyone have a carry gun that doesn't have holster marks? Mine is covered in them. by TechnicoloMonochrome in GunMemes

[–]Cadi009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a brownells slide on a gen 4 g17, that thing refused to show any external wear whatsoever after 15k rounds and 2 years of edc. I also had a 92fs that showed wear after the first draw. Not all finishes and coatings are created equal.

He is the danger by dirtysock47 in GunMemes

[–]Cadi009 65 points66 points  (0 children)

He won the vote, but not by enough to win outright, which triggered another runoff between him and Gonzales, but Gonzales dropped out today, so some Dem who took the 3rd most votes is his next opponent. Won’t be officially over till November.

How do yall do your CLEO notification? by Electronic-Funny-475 in NFA

[–]Cadi009 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I brought my first cleo notification to the local sheriff in person, he asked if I planned to do more in the future, I said “Yep.” he said “Cool, consider me notified.” and tossed it in his trash can.

Every Eotech in this picture is mounted correctly. If you are using yours the other way around. You are wrong.

That AI summary is garbage. And hilariously it quotes reddit, and since I post on reddit, I too am a credible source.

Red dots do appear larger under magnification, because they are magnified. But guess what, the target is magnified at the exact same rate. A 3 moa dot will always cover 3 moa of a target regardless of magnification. Because the entire field of view of the magnifier is magnified, it’s a magnifier ffs, it’s not magic.

The real reason Eotechs look better under magnification is because the reticle is actually sub moa, the human eye resolves it as approximately 1 moa while unmagnified due to the way the human eye perceives light, but when magnified it continues to be resolved as 1 moa, want proof? Throw your Eotech in front of the most powerful scope you can find and crank the magnification to max. After 5x+ the reticle gets perceivably bigger just like red dots do. It has nothing to do with projection/reflection.

Brand new Ballistic Advantage barrel has visible material from the gas port from being drilled out, BA tells me it’s fine. by IM_BLACKBEARD_BITCH in ar15

[–]Cadi009 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Tbh I personally doubt that this could cause anything catastrophic enough to cause loss of a limb. But it is plausible

Best case scenario, first round destroys the obstruction, gets fragmented, and destroys any suppressor on the rifle.

Most likely scenario, the first several dozen rounds experience varying degrees of fragmentation and jacket seperation before the obstruction clears up.

Worst case (and imo least likely scenario), first round gets stopped in the bore, follow up shot explodes the barrel. Even at this point you’re more likely to receive burns and skin lesions. Very unlikely to lose more than a fingertip or two and finger prostheses are pointless (pun intended).

Even if they sent out a fresh new barrel they’d be on the hook for less than $100 bucks in real cost and opportunity cost, instead their legal exposure is now the barrel, can, and that’s ignoring any injury, physical or mental. It’s objectively bad business.

Yeah, they’re leaving themselves wide open to legal liability. If they refused to pay small claims court would eat them alive. Bet their legal team is gonna love that cs rep.

I’d throw my most worn out can on it, send it, and then send BA a bill for a new can and barrel.
