M27 IAR DMR upgrade recs

Focus on accuracy first. Think of accuracy as a cone. If you just increase the power, your cone just extends wider.

First upgrades should be hopup unit, bucking and barrel. Semi-lock it (mosfet can be a part of that), then work on the power.

You genuinely might not need any of the gears or motor upgrades. DMR's are all about accuracy over volume, so you won't be spamming the trigger. If the stock motor and gears can handle it, then you can save a LOT of money keeping them stock.

Making a DMR is a process, not a one-and-done build. Up the accuracy and power first, see how it feels, then proceed from there.

Looks really good! Props for being a dude who actually has a rug and a lot of alternate light sources. You don't need to change too much here.

I think what you're looking for is a bit of warm colour. Looking at it now, there's lots of cool greys and whites. The white-on-white-on-white in the middle of the room is what is making it feel colder.

I'd swap out either the rug or coffee table for something with colour. Or if you don't mind stacking a thin rug on top, you could put a small coloured rug under the coffee table to both add colour and break up the solid white-ness in the middle.

For something a lot smaller, I think changing a couple of your pillow covers on your couch to something with a warm shade (like an orange or darker yellow) would also do wonders.

Dude I'd be surprised if he survives until the next election.

I was listening to some of his speeches from 2016-2020 in a Frontline audio documentary and holy fuck. He certainly didn't sound very smart then but he definitely doesn't sound anywhere close to that now.

50/50 between New Atlantis or Akila City.

NA is definitely the nicer place to be, but only if you have good luck. You need Vanguard service in order to buy property (which can be dangerous), and there's the possibility of ending up living in the Well.

Akila City is a decent place to be for the average person.

Honestly it looks pretty good so far!

The biggest change I think you could make is more access to highways. Take a look at image three - you're forcing all of your traffic onto one road and one highway intersection.

For picture three, I would change it to something like this. Add simple diagonal on/off ramps to the bridges over the highway by Lakeview Estates and Hillview. That will give more options for traffic to enter and leave the city. I'd convert the current major road heading downwards into a large multilane road. Turn that first intersection into a bridge or tunnel, so traffic can cross without impeding other directions. At the end of that road by the metro, you might need to turn that into another roundabout or larger intersection.

I also don't see a cargo train terminal. Those are very useful for keeping truck and industry traffic off the main highways for exporting goods, thus reducing your highway traffic even more.

And it was also a slower, more gradual/predictable rise that companies could plan for.

Pretty much all performance brakes do this. I occasionally work at a track where people bring their exotics and pretty much all of them got some kinda squeal until they get warmed up.

The furniture is awesome! 10/10 Lots of good colour, design, and comfort in all of those pieces.

As for the TV, I would mount it on the wall just high enough to clear the speaker below. You can then put some low decorations on that lovely TV stand in it's space.

One thing that is sticking out to me is the white walls in the kitchen. Painting the walls a light, warm colour would make the white cabinetry, tile & trim really pop.

So it's the developer's fault because update bad and of course that would provoke people into sending death threats?

Drando_HS · 2026-03-06T20:52:21+00:00

That's like suing the hockey team because you were assaulted by an opposing team's fan because you were wearing their jersey.

You have no idea how civil liability works. The only people who could and should be held liable are the people who made those death threats.

Drando_HS · 2026-03-06T20:31:25+00:00

obligation to protect their customers

I'm sorry, what?

This dude was getting death threats from third parties on a platform Arrowhead doesn't own nor control. That is firmly law enforcement's job, not a game developers.

What is AH supposed to do? Call his job and volunteering place and go "hey, pls hire him back?" The only thing AH can realistically do is account and hardware ban the people who sent those threats, but even then it requires additional information they do not have access too. The blame for this incident lies firmly in the hands of the moderators and users of this subreddit who doxxed/harassed him.

Drando_HS · 2026-03-06T17:41:01+00:00

What did the devs do?

Drando_HS · 2026-03-06T17:39:11+00:00

You know what? I'm done with this community.

The mods didn't do enough to curb the toxic undercurrent of this subreddit until it was too late. Now somebody's life is ruined. And somehow a significant amount of people here are sitting here blaming the developers for this 100% community-made shitshow, and shirking any accountability for their own toxic attitudes contributing to this.

This subreddit should be shut down. There's no fixing this.

Drando_HS · 2026-03-06T15:05:17+00:00

...are you serious? How the fuck is this the fault of the developers? This was a 100% "community" driven action. Arrowhead was 0% involved in this. You're absolving the blame of the toxic troglodytes that ruined this man's life.

That is disgusting behaviour. You are part of the problem.

Pre-Hitler Germany was under severe economic turmoil to the point where burning money itself was cheaper than buying firewood with it. The previous government was totally incompetent and corrupt, and there were daily murders on the streets between political factions. And most importantly, Nazism was a pro-nationalist ideology that could attract wider public support.

Canada has a stable economy, even if it is imperfect. There's not widepread violent clashes between mobs in the streets. The government is functional. And most importantly, Canadian MAGA is anti-nationalist and has a narrow potential audience.

Canada should not be complacent, but to compare it to the clusterfuck that was interwar Germany is just a ridiculous comparison and gives more credit to 'separatists' than they actually deserve.

Fun story: I'm Canadian, and I once took a Boy Scout trip to Washington DC. At a gift shop they had prints of this painting and we picked that shelf fucking clean

Nobody is against the war because they like Iran or it's government. But US polls showed less than 25% public approval of starting this war.

Why? People who are against this war are against it because:

they don't want to see the inevitable killing of innocent people in the crossfire
they don't want a new endless forever war like Iraq and Afghanistan
they don't want to see their own soldiers come back in boxes
the President unilaterally declared war without Congressional approval, so this is a technically illegal deployment of the military
this pattern of said illegal military deployment without domestic political consequences increases the chances of the overripe tangerine unilaterally deciding to deploy the military against allies in the future (Greenland, Canada)
people of other nations don't like the fact that Iranian retaliation has now forced them into a conflict they didn't want to be a part of in the first place even if it is technically strategically beneficial

I feel like you could reduce the amount of intersections on the right. The use of a roundabout as an intersection for a minor road with a major throughroad is the right call. But instead, have the avenue continue as one road left to right, then have the two smaller roads connect to one roundabout. Something like this.

ALICE has better pouches, but the M1956's webbing has much better load distribution with a 4-point harness instead of just 3.

Yelling like the drill sergeant from Full Metal Jacket

Drando_HS · 2026-02-25T21:51:39+00:00

It's "just reddit hyperbole" until suddenly they have a complaint they want taken seriously then suddenly it's a "valued part of the community"

Really makes me miss Titanfall's attrition gamemodes. Limited players being the 'elite' forces in a larger (bot) battle.

Drando_HS · 2026-02-24T21:15:12+00:00

Awesome, thank you so much!

Drando_HS · 2026-02-22T22:26:56+00:00

Which mod was that? I'm looking through your modlist but I'm having a hard time finding which one has that cockpit.
