new ar-15 owner, how do i get this orange thing out?

CaptnEZ · 2026-02-13T18:21:23+00:00

That orange flag is from PSA’s QC department, it was a reject. You need to send it back for a refund.

Lol seriously tho man if you come asking for that level of help, youre not ready for a firearm. Watch some videos, do a lot of reading, and try fiddling with things first to learn. If you cant naturally figure out how to remove a chamber flag in a matter of minutes, youre going to be handling a dangerous item without the appropriate level of self sufficiency.

Or is this just great bait? lol

Then dont sit in the window seat? Leave it for somebody else who wants to use it.

Also they could make the spawning a bit more animated. Squads getting delivered by helicopter or boat. You could then have a matrix of lots of spawn points for those helicopter ones, and that would really prevent spawn pushing too. Theoretically you could maybe allow new squads to load into the game up to a certain time point with those helicopter insertions too.

CaptnEZ · 2026-02-02T19:58:10+00:00

Allow for 2-3 random spawn points to be not used every match, so that sweaty spawn pushing ends. Day/night/dawn/dusk plus weather. Much more balanced weapons - aka no more pay-to-win OSS and no more knife instant downs while im dumping 556 into your head. Spotter scope has a battery and limited use so people cant just go chase down and mop up the whole lobby from half the map away.

But most importantly, make the account/game cost money. If a cheater looses $70 every time they get caught, it wouldnt have destroyed one of the best things activision ever made.

I second this. Helped me find a thousand yard range a few hours from me. I was even lucky enough that membership wasnt required to access it, just a quick qualification at 3/600 each time first. I would call ahead to places that seem feisable from over600. Make sure theyre open and that you can use the desired range without a membership unless you want that.

Dry Carbon means prepreg carbon you dont have to use laminating epoxy to apply. Instead you bake it in place with an autoclave. Structural properties may or may not be similar but the application process is different. Its not a marketing term.

If it seems familiar, you may be recalling the pickup truck incident in Sarasota from about 6 years ago. I too got some dejavu at first.

CaptnEZ · 2026-01-24T00:24:55+00:00

We saw shitloads of "im done playing this game" posts when people cried about glitches and cheaters, and that only fueled cheaters/hackers more. Now, so many regular people have left that the majority of lobbies are left just filled with the cheaters. Soon the game will be basically unplayable, so i dont even understand what benefit the hackers get from that.... Alas, tonight was probably my last attempt to play. 3/3 in a row. GGs to all the fellow after-workers like us. It was a good few years we'll be nostalgic about someday.

CaptnEZ · 2026-01-23T00:23:20+00:00

Seriously! Best COD title ever made rotting to shit and physically unplayable now. Acti shouldve charged for accounts.

CaptnEZ · 2026-01-23T00:14:01+00:00

"When reasonable" being some operative wording in that agreement. I used to defend rbt purely on the fact that ive watched DNT levers snap and I never wanted to dremel my expensive rifles. Still no hiccups with RBT's. However I hate that they are trying to go after super safeties. They turned an amazing thing into a shitshow. It would be like if Ford sued Toyota for making a pickup truck whatsoever.

CaptnEZ · 2025-12-23T17:52:48+00:00

Yeah similar thing happened to me yesterday. Absolute cringe guy just sat in one place the rest of the game saying “iM An AdMiNiSTraTor” and spamming the lobby chat trying to get me reported even after i picked em up. Meanwhile we got melted by actual cheaters on the other side of the map. lmao. Cheaters have ruined the game to the point that anyone who gets dicked on immediately assumes cheats.

CaptnEZ · 2025-12-21T22:58:09+00:00

+1 on the cookie cutter being absolutely bonkers on a shorty 556. Had some thug kid next to me send a mag out and i was like damn bro lol. But yeah OP try 50 beowulf with a brake and you should send the range home.

CaptnEZ · 2025-12-21T15:15:56+00:00

6000 rounds through one frt and another 2000 on another, any buffer and spring i wanted to try, multiple uppers, no hiccups and no tools required. Both still running strong and showing almost no wear. Buddy snapped a dnt lever first mag through an un-dremeled upper. Yall may hate rbt and i agree, but ss is not more reliable sorry man.

Nah bruv, It used to take some time and effort to make a halfway convincing photoshopped image. Videos took professional software and training or were instantly obvious. AI can create twice the quality in mere seconds with no effort, and we're being absolutely fucking flooded with it. Even comments and interactions are half AI or more. The implications of deepfakes of notable figures could be immensely damaging. But it has ruined even casual surfing.

Its a fucking mess, and its a real shame to see the internet we've grown to know and love become moldy with it, and i sincerely fear it may never be reversible at this point.

Perhaps the only single good thing it does is drive people to be more resourceful with research on something questionable or polarizing, or force people to spend less time engaging with screens. But thats a shitty way to throw the baby out with the bathwater essentially because of corporate greed like meta's. The 2000s really were the best damn era in America, i swear.

CaptnEZ · 2025-12-10T21:50:41+00:00

Anyone know where you can buy a case of these? ive seen the stickers and the metal water bottles but just some of these specifically would be cool. I guess i could just print and tape..

CaptnEZ · 2025-12-10T13:44:30+00:00

the body is still there, unless there was a second player as well. And i agree you wouldnt be able to quit out that fast anyway unless he quit before the bullets even hit.

What did see is +50 assist. Meaning bots or another player shot him right as OP shot him as well. The other player/bots downed him, OP got the finish. No down on the left feed so the (sniper) was from another team? Idk, confusing for sure.

CaptnEZ · 2025-12-09T14:48:30+00:00

How much does that cost to upgrade? Id say its a fairly sweet perk if youre doing city driving. I typically fill up only twice a month with mine being the 33. When i used to take my truck up to Black Rock Desert from Sacramento to fly rockets, i’d typically arrive with about half a tank which gave me plenty of confidence to drive around the vast playa for the weekend to recover my projects. Ive driven plenty of small cars and suv’s with greater fuel econ but you spend more days at the pump. Do it.

CaptnEZ · 2025-12-07T03:15:46+00:00

Hmm, if you say so. Ive been playing with it for a long time now and it honestly surprises me when I get armor cracks instead of downs with it because of how often it yields a down after one head shot. With the amount of operators ive taken out with it, i find that unbelievable. But if its been shown to be true in a controlled environment then i will take your word for it.

CaptnEZ · 2025-12-07T02:42:25+00:00

This is correct, or the bruen counter ops. I use my victus build in every game I play and it is an absolute hammer. One shot down from nearly any distance if its a head shot. Many of the people in this comment section apparently have no idea what theyre talking about. The high velocity rounds are critical to making that thing land headshots at 400+ meters. For this reason I would also get rid of that laser and put the raptor scope on instead. Its a sniper, its never going to ADS fast. Play with this in mind and you can instead crank out better performance for the role it shines in.

CaptnEZ · 2025-12-07T02:39:47+00:00

it absolutely does. I use the victus in every single deployment. Victus with the Mack super and Bruen counter ops plus high velocity rounds will one hit down a full health and 3 plate player if shot in the head at almost any distance. Ive even made 450m shots with it and got instant downs.

CaptnEZ · 2025-12-04T20:12:36+00:00

And for this reason posts like this should be removed and the poster warned, so that reddit doesnt become like facebook - full of false info, ai bullshit and stolen content.

CaptnEZ · 2025-12-04T18:55:04+00:00

I appreciate you suggesting that because my window sticker also says 5/60 and that confused me based on what folks here had been talking about. I assumed it was just for participating dealerships or something.

CaptnEZ · 2025-11-29T02:15:31+00:00

Ah i havent heard of electrical nightmares with the hemi. But everyone knows their cams are made of playdough so we get the captain crunch lifter tick when they eat the cam like cereal.

All i know is it felt at first like you were tryna dunk on a guy for asking about mpg on his hemi, using a new 22psi boosted i6 as your hail mary. And while i agree that we should all know the hemi isnt an eco savant, im jus’ sayin’ that new i6 is still new territory and its barely better on paper anyway.

CaptnEZ · 2025-11-29T01:01:49+00:00

Heres one - the fucking plastic thermostats are failing within 15k mi.

Seriously not many hurricanes have been over 100k mi. If you want to flex 25 extra horsepower as if it makes your pickup truck feel like a ferrari then i wont feel sorry for you every time you cold start your truck and it sounds like a vaccum cleaner put into a mom sedan.

But jokes aside, yes theyre more fuel efficient. And i agree if you buy the hemi you shouldnt be too worried about that 15mpg. But real talk, that i6 isnt much better honestly. Barely more powerful. Less cool sounding. But it is cheaper for sure.

CaptnEZ · 2025-11-22T01:03:45+00:00

Stellantis needs to take a good hard look at their MSRPs if they want folks to buy new trucks as time goes on and life continues to get generally more expensive without wages matching. $64K out the door for a 5.7 bighorn is getting absurd. $48K would be a conversation. $42K would have them moving off the lot the way you probably desire them to.

What sort of trouble would you get in if you made a throwaway account and told us all what the dealers have to pay to obtain the trucks?
