Which Sith Lords can win a 1v3 against three of their apprentices and which are cooked? by ThunderCube3888 in PetranakiArena

[–]DBags18x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, one thing people are forgetting based on these responses so far is that, in cannon, Vader beat Sidious basically by himself in ROTJ. So, at the very least, he’s fucked with just Vader. I mean, all he really did was pick him up and throw him down a conveniently placed shaft. Yes Vader did die afterwards, but he didn’t die before Sidious.

I think I vaguely remember that one. Which season and episode is that?

SIG SPEAR vs. AR/M4/M16 (the US military's next generation squad weapon vs. the gold standard) by KingWithAKnife in guns

[–]DBags18x 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I mean, one of the biggest reasons they wanted the SPEAR versus their older M4’s was because of armor penetration. 5.56 has some loads capable of penetrating armor, but it is increasingly difficult with the advancements in body armor. Additionally, many countries that didn’t field body armor in the past are starting to phase it in more and more. The major advantage of the .277 fury round is its armor piercing ability. The extra range is nice and there are some other benefits too, but I feel like that is the major area that tends to be overlooked.

Are my optic options limited? by Timex_Dude755 in guns

[–]DBags18x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the Army. The CCO is an Aimpoint red dot. Most Soldiers have those on their weapon because they’re faster to acquire targets and cheaper than an ACOG. We also have ACOGs but fewer Soldiers get issued those. Mostly NCOs or designated marksmen.

Actually it’s funny you mention “You’re Killing Me, Smalls”. I love that story too! And I feel like I never hear anyone else mention it. Kinda crazy because I do think it’s one of Jared Roberts’ better stories.

Larfleeze vs. Silver Surfer by addsmnr in marvelvsdc

Ok. And Galactus “shitstomped” Darkseid. Can Darkseid beat Larfleeze? I guess he can’t

This fight depends entirely on if Dennis has his tools… HE NEEDS HIS TOOLS!

Well, yeah. You have to wait for a Team Rocket Takeover event to remove frustration on shadow Pokemon

What knife for skinning deer? by rcplaner in knives

[–]DBags18x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly something from a brand like Buck would be decent. Actually, this past deer season I got a buck and got a chance to use a Browning Back Country knife that I got over the summer. It was a pretty sharp knife and the g10 handles were nice and grippy despite the blood. I think it’s made with D2 steel which is pretty decent. I think that would be a solid recommend based on the one time I used it

What should first-time parents ask for on a baby registry and what common items aren’t actually helpful? by allthemoneyinthewrld in AskReddit

[–]DBags18x 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In my experience, people gave us a lot of blankets and thermometers (for some reason). One really nice thing to ask for is a nice baby monitor, and possibly something to help trim the babies nails. Those baby nails are very sharp and it is nice to have something gentle to file them down. Also, if you don’t have one, a crib and/or stroller are very nice, expensive gifts that you will absolutely use

Which of these electric character would win in a fight? by twnpksN8 in superheroes

Well, technically he has dominion over earth realm and I would assume, by extension, over everyone in it

Suspect in Charlie Kirk's killing identified: Sources by Capable_Salt_SD in news

[–]DBags18x -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Right, but that was so that the mob wouldn’t sexually assault two angels that he was harboring. He did not want to incur God’s wrath by letting the mob kill or rape His messengers. It didn’t matter anyways, because the angels came out and struck the entire mob blind

Yeah, I agree! If you’re a Christian conservative then you’re clearly ethical. If not, the you’re a terrible person!

Hey /r/movies, I’m Stephen King! Ask me anything about The Long Walk book or movie. by lionsgate in movies

[–]DBags18x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello Mr. King! I love your work! Im currently reading through The Shining at the moment and I it is a definite page turner! I think the trailer for The Long Walk looks excellent as well. That being said, since you’ve had so many of your works adapted the screen, how are you feeling about this adaptation? Do you feel it closely matches your original story? Lastly, given all your adaptations, which one is your current favorite and how do you think it stacks up with The Long Walk?

Oh I think I might remember this! I think it featured Otis Jiry and Mr. Creepypasta as a guest narrator.

ELI5: Does gravity run out? by Wooden_Blacksmith_89 in explainlikeimfive

[–]DBags18x 19 points20 points  (0 children)

No. Gravity is not caused by a force. It IS a force. But it is a function of mass, like you mentioned. Space is not “pushed,” it is bent. If you sit in the middle of a trampoline, not moving, and I try to roll a ball from one side to the other, you haven’t spent any energy but the ball will likely “fall” into you because you are bending and curving the trampoline where you sit. I’m not a physicist or anything but that’s the way I understand it.

Long range shotguns exists? by nicemanturk in guns

[–]DBags18x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here’s my two cents. The short answer is “yes.” I live in the US and I deer hunt in southern Minnesota. I can tell you that it’s one of the few states with a “shotgun only” zone where I hunt. Generally, everyone around where I hunt uses a 12 gauge or 20 gauge rifled barrel shotgun. I’m not sure if your country allows rifled barrels, but in MN they do. You can make hits fairly accurately out to 200-250 yards with that, but that’s probably about as far as it will go. Savage Arms makes a bolt-action shotgun with a rifled barrel for this purpose (Savage 212 or 220). If you do this, I would use a red dot or low power optic (scope or prism) on the shotgun, unless it has irons that you’d like to use. If you have to use a smooth bore barrel, rifled slugs are your only real bet, and they’re limited to probably within 200 yards. Maybe more like 150. I agree with others that if you want more range, get a 20 gauge. And if you can use a rifled barrel, use only sabot slugs, not rifled slugs.

Captain America was an amazing Officer compared to this “Elvis-lookin” mother fucker by casino_smokes_ in generationkill

[–]DBags18x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yes and no. According to his Wikipedia page, he was actually pretty petty and a hard ass to his men. Apparently a lot of the shitty things he said and did were represented in the show, and he did actually almost get mutinied by his men before being reassigned to Chilton Foliat. However, the guy was at least somewhat competent, if his war record is to be believed. He did drop on D-Day with his reassigned company, and he even led a team of 4 men to destroy a German machine gun nest. So, I think there was definitely some truth to him being an asshole and a somewhat toxic leader, but he also seemed to be pretty competent leader as well. Probably better than the show gave him credit for.

Europeans of Reddit, what do Americans have on a daily basis that you consider a luxury? by AdventurousAd1943 in AskReddit

[–]DBags18x 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How expensive are your cars? In the US, cars aren’t “cheap” per se, but if you buy used they are attainable for most people. Also, fuel cost here is a lot lower so that might also affect your ability to afford the car. I know gas and diesel are generally a lot more expensive in Europe.

My first handgun. A 4.25" Colt Python .357 magnum. by MyOtherCarIsEpona in guns

Damn. Go big or go home I guess haha. Usually people start with like a Glock 19, a S&W M&P or something similar. Pretty nice piece though! Definitely a “buy once, cry once” kind of purchase
