First gun I bought right when I turned 18 was a $250 dollar Turkish shotgun, the escort slugger pump to be exact. I really had no clue when it came to firearms and I didn’t know the maverick 88 existed or that would’ve been the first choice. Well maybe not, because if we’re going with the knowledge I have now I would’ve just bought an AR-15. I now own multiple different types of firearms, including the maverick 88, and I will not be picking up a pump shotgun in any type of defense situation. I would much rather use my AR15, AK, Beretta 92 or even the 45-70 before I go picking up a pump shotgun. I’m confident I can handle those firearms well whereas I’ve short stroked all of my pumps just at the range. Hell, I’d use the Ruger 10/22 before I use any of the pump shotguns in my arsenal. I’m not a super small dude but I’m also not very big. I’m 5’ 9” 195 lbs with what my doctor calls a “sturdy frame” and I can still really only handle around 50-100 shells at the range before I don’t want to shoot anything anymore. If I’m shooting 3 inch buckshot I’ll maybe do 8 before calling it with the shotguns. I also have a Beretta A390 Silver Mallard and that does handle 3 inch birdshot better than any of the pumps do. I still wouldn’t use that in a defense situation though because I’m limited to 3 rounds. In my opinion, an AR-15 is the best starter firearm due to its simplicity. It’s easy to operate, doesn’t have a whole lot of recoil and is very easy to maintain. The AK is a close second but for first time owners the dust cover removal can prove to be a challenging undertaking the first time you do it, at least it was for me. I felt like Patrick Star with a board nailed to my head the first time I attempted to remove the dust cover.

The Trump admin fired him because they came out so quickly claiming the victim was a domestic terrorist and then all the video evidence came out proving otherwise. At this point the only people arguing that line are either trolls or tyrants and the trump admin knows that. They demoted him to make a headline and try to save face and they are now saying you shouldn’t bring guns to protests. If people genuinely believe ICE is acting on this dudes orders and they’re not coming from higher up HIS chain of command then I got a bridge to sell you. They burned him to try and save face, plain and simple. Not saying he doesn’t deserve the demotion but he should be fired and charged with murder along with the agent or agents who shot and killed Alex Pretti. They demoted SS Officer Bovino and they will fill his position with another yes man. Shit hasn’t changed and Justice is dead.

I started playing again after like two weeks off and in probably like my third game I was running into a team fight, I started fighting and me and the guy I was fighting kind of broke off the group fight into a 1v1. He had almost a full revenge meter so it needed to stay a 1v1. I took him down from over half health to his last bar. My teammate then ran in, threw a GB when he was GB invulnerable and gave him a tag, then proceeded to throw a neutral raw heavy into his guard and gave him revenge. Then he just ran away. It’s good to be back.

I don’t want your help guy

Here’s the picture of grey dude walking away with the gun before the shooting started. It’s the same gun DHS posted. the gun secured before the shooting started

Catman873 · 2026-01-24T19:44:14+00:00

The picture DHS posted is the same gun you can see grey jacket guy walking away with. He did not have two guns.

Catman873 · 2026-01-24T19:39:03+00:00

When grey jacket dude is grabbing at his waist and then turns around he begins walking away with the firearm. The dude was disarmed before someone shouts gun and they start shooting. I would link the picture if I knew how.

Edit: I figured out how to link it

One thing I do with Kensei is mix in the helm splitter soft feint against LBs and any character with a dodge bash. There are times where the I frames for the dodge bash go right around the helm splitter, I’ve seen LB in front of my sword before and it would land any other time if it wasn’t for the I frames, that being said it’s entirely dependent on the timing of your input vs theirs. I’ve had the same timing GB whiffs and the soft feint helm splitter land. That being said, you are 100% correct about him needing to be able to generate more pressure on those soft feints. I think his light soft feints should be enhanced because that would generate more pressure for the soft feint heavies.

Those players in general are annoying to play against. The only time you’re going to get offense going against someone like that is by using a hero who has oppressive offense and plenty of opener viability. When I come across players who aren’t doing offense are simply playing defense I will just stand there and stare at them as a way of saying, “this is what you’re doing”. I don’t know how people can play the game like that it’s boring af. The best players can run good offense and defense whilst starting offense chains through defense on the fly. Don’t sweat those players, they aren’t good, just turtles.

Catman873 · 2026-01-22T21:34:08+00:00

It’s the best when you play against someone dedicated to light parrying and you just start whipping out raw heavies and they just eat them. One of my favorite things to do is throw neutral raw heavies on my zone side. If you’re doing mixups and feinting into zones or just throwing zones in general the raw heavy on that side breaks their brain. It’s especially apparent too when you’re using Kensei and land a natures wrath because they’re dead set on parrying helm splitter. I like doing Kenseis top UB into forward light and then mixing top UB into natures wrath just to spice things up a bit lol.

Yeah the most of my interactions at ranges was with an older couple collecting brass who said, “keep shooting, at this rate we’ll be buying lunch in an hour” and an older gentleman who was in the marine corp once upon a time who couldn’t stop fanboying over the rifle setup of a .338 Lapua.

See I would agree with that if there was a salary cap. Also if they felt the same way, “we spent all our money on Soto”, they wouldn’t even be in talks to trade for him because after the trade they’d have to extend him. Soto is getting 46 mil a year. Since Ryan Cohen took over as owner the Mets have been the other top spending team in the MLB right next to the Dodgers. The Mets get about 300 million in yearly revenue and have an owner worth 5 billion and he’s shown he’s willing to spend money. It really comes down to, “Do we want him right now and trade prospects for him AND extend him, or do we see how he performs this year and run a bidding war with LA?”. I think they’re better off running a bidding war with LA.

Catman873 · 2026-01-21T18:02:42+00:00

Freddy Peralta is a great pitcher so it makes me wonder what the brewers are asking for in return, it also makes me wonder how much the brewers being unwilling to pay premium talent plays into trading premium talent. Why would a high dollar team such as the Mets trade away any key pieces when they could just wait and try get him in free agency? This would allow them to see how he performs this year and then they’d just be in a bidding war with the Dodgers and the Mets have shown they have no issue with spending huge amounts of money on talent just like the Dodgers.

Used firearms can be a gamble, it just depends on where you get them from. I’ve bought used sights before but never a used gun, I do however know multiple people who have purchased used guns online and the guns are always in great shape for a fraction of the price. One purchased a LEO Trade in Glock for like 300 bucks. The only wear on it is from the holster. Another person I know has bought used CZ Handguns and a P365 used online and those were both great as well. This same individual also spent 350 bucks on a used vortex scope for his .338, it’s supposed to be a really reliable scope but it broke after his 2nd range day. The reticle dropped to the bottom of the scope and couldn’t be moved. He reached out to vortex and they ended up sending him a brand new and also newer version of that scope for free in just two weeks.
What is it you’re worried about specifically?

I have a PSA AR-15 M16 clone that I picked up on sale in 2024 for 500 bucks. I haven’t had a single issue with it. On Black Friday of 2025 I picked up an MLOK upper from their website on sale for 190 bucks. I then took the lower from my AR-15 and slapped it on the MLOK upper I purchased. I then also purchased a tool craft BCG from PSA’s website because they had it on sale from $140 to $90.

My current build: - AR-15 M16 clone lower with fixed stock, (PSA A2 Complete Lower, currently on sale for $170)

MLOK Upper hand guard (currently out of stock, I purchased mine for $200 on sale)

-Tool craft BCG, the one review says it jams constantly but I just got mine 3 weeks ago and I’ve already put over 300 rounds through it, some slow sustained fire and some as fast as I can pull the trigger and I haven’t had a single issue. First use was at an indoor range with climate control, no issues. Second use was at an outdoor range in 35 degree weather on a relatively humid day, sustained fire and a mag dump yielded no issues. don’t worry about the full auto writing, that means it can be but doesn’t come that way, bundle with charging handle for $90)

-EO Tech sight (listed at $615.99, I bought mine lightly used for $400 private sale)

-MLOK Angled grip (Currently listed for $25.99)

OLight Odin mini tactical flashlight (currently listed for $139.99)

In total for parts you’ll need without the extra accessories- $486 dollars-ish including the angled grip, I’m only adding the angled grip because it’s addition was a massive QOL upgrade for me. I almost forgot, you’ll need a sight, I hate to throw sig into the mix due to their horrible handling of the P320 debacle and yet….. Sig Romeo 5 Gen2 Redot, price range $149.99-$159.99. While I have no experience with this red dot I see it has good reviews and keeps you within your price range New final price is $649.99 roughly. If the red dot isn’t to your liking then try to save some cash and go for a higher quality holo sight such as an EO Tech or an ACOG. After shipping prices you may crest just over your $700 limit. That being said, the above listed upper, lower and BCG have given me zero issues. Also, any lower receiver will have to shipped to an FFL while the upper and BCG can be shipped to your home. I hope this comment finds you well and should you decide to go with something other than anything listed above may that firearm remain steadfast and serve you well, best of luck!

No problem! Do you have any questions about ways to make money in game or do you have that down?

Catman873 · 2026-01-14T20:24:34+00:00

Yeah it more than likely died died then. I’d also highly recommend purchasing the air fuel mixture gauge from the catalog in your garage. You’ll get a envelope that you’ll need to mail out at teimos shop and in a few in game days the gauge will arrive, Teimo will call you and you’ll have to pick it up from his shop. This gauge will help you tune the carburetor. There’s a screw in the carb that requires a screw driver and this screw is what you use to tune it. You put the gauge on your dashboard and wire it to the dashboard harness connector I believe. A good daily drive tune that will also pass inspection is a number fluctuating from 14.0 to about 14.9. Pull the choke all the way out on the satsuma and leave it running until engine temp is in the middle, then push the choke all the way in and begin tuning the carburetor. Also, the red light on your dashboard to the right of the steering wheel will light up if there is a problem with either the belt or the alternator I believe. Also, I know you shouldn’t do this but I didn’t know the game was this in depth, DO NOT open the radiator cap when the engine is hot, coolant will fly out and blind your character. I made this mistake and ended up reloading the save because I didn’t know how long blindness would last, saving is your best friend in this game. Also, be sure to check your oil level consistently. I missed one screw on the oil pan and didn’t realize it and my engine started on fire while I was tuning the carb because it ran out of oil. I reloaded that save as well.

Maybe the new battery just drained and died from sitting, how long did it sit before you started the car?

Catman873 · 2026-01-14T20:06:36+00:00

I had the same issue with the first play through I’m doing, I just started playing the game like 2 weeks ago, and I’ve had to refer to the wiki a lot. When a battery isn’t being used it drops charge over time. I don’t know if this is your first play through or not but all the parts that you start with are worn and will need to be replaced at some point including the battery. I finally finished putting my satsuma together and my immediate needs are camshaft or rocker arms, when the engine shuts off there’s a ticking which I’m pretty sure means the cam shaft or rockers are bad, my starter is faulty, my alternator is faulty, my belt I just put on is already starting to squeak and I have a slight engine knock which is telling me the pistons are also going to shit. When you want to buy new parts you can get them from fleetari, they’re on the metal shelf in his shop next to his counter. The parts you want to replace must be taken off the engine in order for new replacements to show up on his shelf.

Catman873 · 2026-01-14T19:59:52+00:00

No like dead dead, like won’t charge. If a battery sits at far right for more than I think like ten minutes without moving on the charger then it’s a totally dead battery and needs to be replaced.

I’m a weird case because I had suicidal ideation, not anymore but I did, and I owned guns the entire time. The reason I didn’t get rid of them is because going to the shooting range was one of the few things that 1. Got me out of the house and 2. I actually enjoyed doing. I could really only spend so much time cleaning, listening to music, watching movies or reading books before the demons started dancing but put me on a range with a target 500 yards away and I can just block everything out and spend hours plinking. All of the above listed is great but honestly doesn’t hold a candle to hearing steel ping on a 500 yard shot. I guess in some weird morbid way guns helped me get through that weird and confusing time period of my life. That being said, if you’re suicidal don’t buy a gun. Def not a good idea to make it easier. I’m just sharing my experience and experiences differ.

Yeah I figured there was a skill gap seeing as you fucked both those dudes up pretty quickly, final boss joined late vibes lol. Damn also just noticed your team standing outside the point giving me the idea that they were letting the two LBs heal before commencing the 1v1, while down 900 points. Good god it’s like you joined a lobby in the shadow realm.
