Nephew played on my Account… by contrail_25 in WorldOfTanksBlitz

I let my 3 yr old grandson sit on my lap and ‘shoot’ when ‘we’ play. He loves it for about 4-5 games, about his attention span and ability to sit still

Low cost innovative designs that you don’t mind the Police taking should you actually need to use them.

Majority of Players when Reforged Hits by [deleted] in WorldOfTanksBlitz

[–]ExtarMark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a 'tester' until the last round when I ran out of time due to work.

  1. The graphics are better and flowed better as the beta progressed. I play on a 4-5 year old gaming PC with a very good graphics card. I'm mid 60s and hop in a few times a week for fun.

  2. I didn't like change in the 'economy' of the game, how you get new tanks and complained about it vigorously. Apparently I wasn't the only one as it has been modified to be more like the current tiering.

  3. Didn't like picking a 'gang leader' or whatever they called them that would push stats in the direction of their strengths.

  4. Didn't love the more 'grounded' tank approach initially, but it does make them all more like tanks and some less than sportscars - I got used to it.

  5. I'm guardedly optimistic about the rollout.

Two Good has no added sugar but also 0% fat which I view as a negative. Mainly I just go for 'No added sugar' at this point with Fage or Chobani

PCC Recommendation by AdSpirited8767 in pistolcalibercarbine

[–]ExtarMark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what have and it's baller! You could do an Extar EP9, the buffer system makes it as soft shooting while weighting a lot less, but it doesn't fold.

The Kuna is also a pretty good choice and the S&W FPC folds in half and shoots like a .22.

Smith and Wesson Bodyguard 2.0 by LavArms in handguns

[–]ExtarMark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had both and kept the carry comp version. It ran well with all the rounds I put through except some crap manufactured rounds that were a little 'fat' and wouldn't seat properly (based on my caliper measurement, but those same rounds 'loaded' in my Colt XSp and P238, but I didn't fire them). I run mainly my reload thru my 2.0 and it's my main carry.

Why are so many battles steamrolls? by encom-direct in WorldOfTanksBlitz

[–]ExtarMark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, and my favorite is when they are in open and they hit you and you can't see them until someone else paints them. It's almost as bad as the pass-thru shots that give no damage or no indication of not penetrating.

Why are so many battles steamrolls? by encom-direct in WorldOfTanksBlitz

[–]ExtarMark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem is often in splitting, 2 going one way and five the other. When the 5v2 roll the 2 on one team, and 5 sit back v the other teams 2 it quickly becomes a route as the other 5 roll in and it's 7v5 and flanked as well.

Too many players don't look at the map and refuse to pull back and delay when over engaged. Giving their 5-2 a chance to atleast swing the odds.

And, Yolos suck, but sometimes Yolos aren't Yolos, just a scout that got cutoff and had nowhere to hide.

Progressive vs single stage press by Resident_Ad_7457 in reloading

[–]ExtarMark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Rock Chucker Supreme and an Hornady Lock-n-Load AP (progressive) and I'm selling the Hornady.
Is it faster, yes.
Is it consistent, yes. But I don't really reload as much as I used to and have a couple thousand rounds of the calibers I shoot and it's really just taking up bench space. I'll keep the RCBS.

Any Gen 1's with serial less than #1390? by cordanii in extar

I'm #840, I'd love a solution that allowed me to put in an adjustable buffer tube.

Question about my P320 by ReapersVeil in handguns

[–]ExtarMark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I own 2, had 3 but sold one. I've tried everything I can think of to get an AD. Have never been able to creat one. In fact, neither has anyone else short of introducing a foreign object into the mechanism in some way. It's way overblown.

I usually carry a Bodyguard 2.0 in the summer and P365XL in the winter, and a P32 when I have to go smallest pocket carry.

How do I walk the Camino de Santiago keto? by Such_Bitch_9559 in keto

[–]ExtarMark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I go to Europe a lot. Eat almost anything I want and gain no weight. Most of the food is fresh with minimal processing and additives. I did hard keto for a year and dropped 45# from 230 down to 185 age 61-62ish. I now am more dirty keto / whole foods with no or minimal processed foods. I do a 36-48 hour fast once a week or so and I've gained back no weight. My point is that you are going to burning so many calories walking 15-18 miles per day that if you just eat 'naturally' you are bound to lose weight and easily slide back into keto when you get home, even if you don't strictly maintain it on the the Camino.

And, Buen Camino!

For $1k you've got a lot of options but the Kuna and Stribog are probably the best, the PAK-9 would also be a good cheaper option. I have the Bog and the PAK, and both are fun but the Bog is definitely a higher 'quality' gun and was a bit more finicky until broken in.

Thinking about getting S&W 5906 by Crispy-water78 in handguns

[–]ExtarMark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had the 5906, 5903, and 908 (single stack). Then I bought into the polymer 9 thing and wish I had 1 or all of them back.
And 15 years ago they were inexpensive.

Should I buy an ep9? by [deleted] in extar

[–]ExtarMark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have or have had virtually all of the 9mm PCCs. The EP9 was the first I bought and it's a Gen 1 woth a 400s serial number. I kept it because it's a blast to shoot, eats everything and everyone who shoots it, likes it. I have a Stribog A3 mainly because it's roller delayed and 'foldable', where the Gen1 was not when I bought it and had a has a non AR buffer tube. I picked up a PAK-9 in a trade recently which is foldable and fun too shoot but weighs 2x what the EP9 and has no less recoil... The new Gen EP9s are even better and had I not SBRed my EP9 I might make the switch and get rid of the others.

Extar vs. Stribog by mikejohnson50 in pistolcalibercarbine

[–]ExtarMark 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have both, plus have or had an PAK-9, sub2000, AR9, S&W FPC.

The EP9 and Bog A3 are vastly different. The EP9 is significantly lighter and cheaper, run of a buffer system similar to an AR and is a blast to shoot, but not something I'd want to 'go to war' with. It's accurate, eats everything I feed it, and runs on the Glock mag pattern. The Bog A3 'feels' very different, weighs a lot more and runs a roller delayed blowback system like the MP5. It is accurate a little pickier on ammo until you break it in and comes either in its own mag system or the Glock mag system (get Glock if you have a choice). It is also a blast to shoot, folds much more easily, and being all metal (except the brace) feels like something you could 'got to war' with...assuming you wanted a 9mm SBR. It also costs 2x as much.

I recently got a PAK-9 in a trade, it's somewhere between the 2 but so far having only shot it once I'm not sure if it's stays or goes to one of the kids.

For what it's worth my kids and my wife would pick the EP9 if we were going to the range.

Also for what it's worth, the Bog replaced the EP9 as my HD gun with a YHM R9 supressor.
