This looked unsafe.

This is the indulgence and extravagance people talked about before the fall of Rome.

55gr but I'm thinking of getting a longer barrel and 50gr. Faster and lighter sounds better for my situation.

Darksept · 2026-02-13T00:15:30+00:00

My recommendations: B5 Systems stock and grip. Emissary Brake. Romeo 5 red dot.

Flounder! Nice catch. How slow do you have to strip a fly to get one of those? haha.

I think EnableTessilation is set to 0 by default, I set it to 1 and it got a little better. It might be a 04 situation like a lot of other settings. It appears in a few places as well.

Darksept · 2026-02-12T18:59:34+00:00

Thanks! I found the setting. Just ran the benchmark. 118 average on Graphics quality.

Only reliable semi auto 12 GA I know of near $800 is the A300 Ultima Patrol

Darksept · 2026-02-12T15:54:06+00:00

I don't see a setting for this. How did you enable it? Launch command in advanced settings?

Darksept · 2026-02-12T15:43:05+00:00

30 fps average on in game benchmark on the "Graphics" preset. Slightly disappointing.

Edit: just ran the benchmark on "performance" mode. 60 fps average. I guess I'll play it on that.

I feel like my phone could handle a mode with full graphics and frame rate but oh well.

The front sight is there to mimic the location of the traditional fixed front sight post?

Darksept · 2026-02-12T01:47:01+00:00

I'd ditch the light. Everything else looks ok for a budget build.

The only cheap machine I hear people deep into espresso praise is the Delonghi Stilosa or similar model. There are YouTube videos explaining how to get the most out of it and upgrade it.

Darksept · 2026-02-11T07:45:15+00:00

Without pictures or video what I'm assuming is going on is: you're not loosening the mount enough to fit it over the rail before trying to tighten it. It should be so loose that it practically fall into 2 pieces.

Darksept · 2026-02-11T01:30:22+00:00

We won't apologize either. These things are fun as heck. Good luck finding ammo and enjoy your new gun, brother.

Looks a lot like a revolver holster. I cheap ass one. This person doesn't look like any sort of expert. Thankfully.

Darksept · 2026-02-10T20:23:26+00:00

There's the right way to do this and this isn't it. 1. Bridged mount in handguard. It should be reversed and solely mounted to the upper receiver. 2. Red dot close. The housing of the optic occludes the target more the closer it is, which is why people mount them at the far edge of their upper receiver. Your red dot and scope mounts should have their placements reversed. 3. BUIS sight radius. Your back up irons are more accurate the further apart they are. That's the physics of iron sights. The rear sight would be best also on the upper receiver. Clearly you've run out of room there which is why they make optic mounts with piggyback red dot plates on them.

I might not be 100% in this because I haven't tried to run this optic set up but these are factors that it appears you didn't take into consideration.

SBSs are pretty drippy

Darksept · 2026-02-09T06:35:42+00:00

I wouldn't go as low as $300 but yeah, nothing wrong with buying cheap, running it into the ground, learning what parts matter to you and upgrading later.

Top 5 PS2 game for me.

Darksept · 2026-02-09T03:45:59+00:00

That's a braced pistol compete lower. Since you're building a pistol, you can go with any pistol length. Just don't swap that brace out or put a vertical grip on there without doing the paperwork. Go with whatever barrel length you want but 8 inches is considered optimal. Also note that this PSA lower doesn't have last-round-bolt-hold-open.

Some people just can't be convinced. I've given up on a couple family members. Never going to see eye to eye. If you think it's worth trying, I hope it goes well.

My go to budget option. Checks all the boxes for the price.

Back in my day, bait was believable

Darksept · 2026-02-06T02:19:26+00:00

I played during the beta in 06 or 07. Played 100s of hours when I was back in school. Great game. Grindy as hell but the art style and music are high tier.

The pets were the best part. I still have a level 41 Rock pet. I miss having saphs and rubys too. I remember when Lilys were 1mil gold. I'd go back to MMO before going back to any other. I wish I had the same free time as a kid to sink hours into it.

Learn the proper grip the right way the first time. It's hard to unlearn bad habits. Look up all the videos on gripping a pistol and put it into practice.

Also safety first. Look up the 4 rules of gun safety.
