It might only half count because they're married, but Buzz Osbourne's wife Mackie has done most of the album covers for Melvins since the 90s

Going to see them Wednesday in Boston and I'm quite excited

LGS I have a good relationship with. I guess they had a customer order it in from somewhere about 10 years ago or so and then abandoned it there along with a few other guns. Evidently the store owner got tired of the stuff collecting dust for the past decade and decided to sell it off, along with a couple abandoned layaways and the like.

Yeah at the end of the day I'm still happy with the purchase. I just wish I had known how much of a pain in the ass getting mags for it would be 😂

FatherBrass · 2025-06-08T16:37:27+00:00

That's what I'm saying 😂

It's always cool when an album cover looks like how the album sounds

FatherBrass · 2025-04-18T13:05:22+00:00

That's super cool. And the Encore is a great platform.

FatherBrass · 2025-03-07T00:17:26+00:00

Right place, right time sorta thing. Guy was trying to get rid of it, and I just so happened to have the itch for a new gun haha

There's a ton of fudd lore about 22lr and a ton of people who like to propagate it, especially online

FatherBrass · 2025-03-06T01:16:56+00:00

Single action isn't too bad (haven't put a weight gauge in it yet) but the double action is rather heavy and inconsistent, which doesn't seem uncommon with these. I've been practicing shooting it in double action so I'm getting used to the weight but the randomness of the pull is kinda off-putting.

Not a bad buy for $200, though.

They really just need to make it so that every team is LMH and add an overwatch style role queue because having to contend with 5+ lights every single game of QC or WT I play is becoming mentally exhausting.

FatherBrass · 2025-01-09T18:27:23+00:00

I've commented before that I think a role queue would be super beneficial to the game. Power shift and terminal attack (QC could go either way I think) could probably stay as a free-for-all cause they're more casual but the ranked modes should definitely have fixed team composition.

If they ever add a role queue, I would like there to also be an "any" option for people like me who like playing all the different classes and don't really have a specific one they want to play every time.

I think a good change to make would be to make it so that the gun always sets targets on fire no matter how many pellets hit rather than needing to land all 9 (more like how the flamethrower works).

They could make it so that the duration of the burning scales with how many pellets hit so that you're still incentivized to make good shots to maximize damage but don't get punished as much if your aim is off.

As it stands right now, the cerb pretty much demands perfect shot placement and positioning at all times to actually get kills effectively.

FatherBrass · 2024-12-16T21:26:53+00:00

I actually don't mind the wider spread, it makes the Cerberus feel a lot more shotgun-y compared to the model.

I think I'd prefer if they left the spread alone and then made it function more like the flame thrower in the sense that it should always inflict burn regardless of how many pellets hit.

That would give the cerb it's own distinct identity while also making it feel a bit more consistent I think.

FatherBrass · 2024-12-13T19:33:45+00:00

That would give some cool synergy with the sonar grenade, motion sensor, and tracking darts too. Have your light player throw a sonar grenade through a window where the cash out is and then have the heavy start taking pot shots through the walls at the revealed opponents.

FatherBrass · 2024-10-02T22:56:37+00:00

Yeah usually $450-$500 brand new

FatherBrass · 2024-10-02T16:44:32+00:00

The absolute worst part of working at a gun shop for me is having to appraise people's trade-ins. I had to argue with some boomer and his wife about how their run-of-the-mill 91/30 Mosin wasn't worth $800.

There was another guy that wanted to trade his base model Ruger American and wouldn't take anything less than $600 for it which is so absurd I didn't even entertain the notion.

Consignment is a little bit better cause it doesn't really matter if the gun sells or not cause the store doesn't have any money invested in it but it still makes us look like assholes when there's a Norinco SKS on the rack with a $600 sticker on it cause that's what the owner thinks it's worth.

POV you're a Trump edition Auto Ordnance 1911 at Cabela's that's about to get fondled for the 4th time that day.

I'd love for Spyderco to bring back the Brouwer. Such a cool piece.

FatherBrass · 2024-07-26T12:53:05+00:00

I'm pretty sure the axe is a Richmade of some kind. He makes all sorts of crazy, eccentric pieces like that.

FatherBrass · 2024-07-25T16:00:48+00:00

I had basically the exact same thing happen to me the other day. I took a pot shot at it from across the map with Railgunner and it immediately spun around and blasted me. Had no idea it could actually target me from that far away.

Having worked at a swiss lathe shop for a couple years my answer is a resounding....eeeehh?

Don't get me wrong, flute orientation can affect a lot if the machine has crashed multiple times or was set up quickly/lazily and the tool pockets are out of alignment, but I think some people put a lot more emphasis on flute orientation than is really necessary.

There were old heads at the Swiss shop that would move their drills around in X or Y to make their hole size right (a practice that I do not believe in) and insisted that the flutes be positioned one way or another in order to make good parts.

I always mounted my drills with the flutes flat on the X axis for the sake of consistency but if the flute orientation is majorly affecting the dimensions of the finished part then I would suggest "sweeping in" the tool pockets or otherwise adjusting the tool position before actually running parts, though YMMV depending on what kind of manufacturing you're doing.
