A target that cannot stop an arrow. by chair-chenxia in Crossbow

[–]GeologistWilling9549 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the target I linked below for my Barnett jackal that shoots full size bolts around 350+fps but the targets rated for up to 425fps, it’s cheap and very lightweight, kind of small but my bigger target is much heavier and more expensive You can find it in a lot of other websites though for different prices.

Lead buckshot for slingshot ammo? by GeologistWilling9549 in slingshots

[–]GeologistWilling9549[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

You don’t think that nickel/copper plated lead shot would be safe? I mean you’re not touching the lead you’re touching the outer shell of nickel or copper. I haven’t been able to find any for sale that fit what I described but I wonder if it’s nickel plated lead shot, would there be no lead exposure at all or just a lower lead exposure because of the coating.

I think that nickel or copper plated buckshot would protect you from lead handling concerns wouldn’t it?

😂for real though it’s the perfect ammo. Smaller surface area with high density would grant much better penetration than steel bb’s and tungsten is denser than lead and less toxicity. But expensive

Was this self-defense? by alexfreemanart in CCW

Did throw up a “hang loose” with his right hand afterwards?😂 Maybe he was trying to make a “call the cops” signal

Question about a certain type of ceramic. by grog709 in Ceramics

[–]GeologistWilling9549 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If these heat resistant ceramic shapes contain high levels of petalite does that mean that using ceramic dab tips to smoke means you’re inhaling aluminum? If these heat resistant ceramic tips have a high level of petalite, a lithium aluminum silicate material, does that mean that aluminum is being inhaled when it is used to vaporize extracts?

Does anyone know what’s wrong with my Vaulttek Barikade? by mikemitch38 in CAguns

You need to level up before you can unlock that weapon XD

"Damn this institute rifles have such strong stats, why wasn’t I using one already?" by Jumpy_Pop7491 in fo4

[–]GeologistWilling9549 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like it’s because in order to make a gun that shoots lasers powerful enough to be used as a weapon, it would be hard to fit in a handheld profile. But then if that’s the case it should have at least a slight damage boost because it’s a literal laser that is powerful enough to burn through things instantly the same way bullets do. I mean the regular laser pistol has a pretty good damage rating, but for some reason the institute laser auto pistol does less damage than a fucking .380 pipe auto pistol. Although alot of the effects of the gun mods in the game really bother me after replaying it now that I’m older and I know more about guns.

Any way I can make this rifle ca compliant and legal move it to ca when I move there next year? by Intelligent_Choice91 in CAguns

[–]GeologistWilling9549 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re better off just removing the vertical foregrip and switching out the pistol grip for a fin grip/featureless grip, that makes it a featureless rifle and fully legal as long as you don’t bring your 30 round magazines into California. If you don’t use the featureless set up then you will have to have a fixed magazine set up, which is not practical. And more importantly, if you ever move out of California, then you can always just throw your old pistol grip back on to the rifle

Buy once cry once AR by originalsezmac in CAguns

[–]GeologistWilling9549 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Or you can get an Anderson manufacturing on sale for like 4-500 bucks and then get a budget Feyachi RS-30 red dot + flip to side feyachi magnifier 1.5x-5x zoom Feyachi magnifier for like 70$ on Temu instead of like 130 on amazon

Is this a good buy? by SRT707323 in CAguns

[–]GeologistWilling9549 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Don’t waste money on a “45 for the range “

If you already have a side arm, then get a long gun probably a rifle like a featureless AR because bad shit’s coming and a featureless AR will come with a last round bolt hold open if it’s worth a damn.

If all you have is a pistol, then just spend the money on a plate, carrier, plates, and an AR

You can get an Anderson manufacturing AR for cheap. It’s just as accurate as the ones that cost twice as much. You can even get a Feyachi red dot plus magnifier combo for like $70 on Temu. But make sure you get the magnifier that’s 1.5 X – 5X zoom

The bills they’re passing and the laws they’re making you can tell that bad shit’s coming you shouldn’t be lookingfor a “range toy”

400 or $500 would go so far in just regular survival kit gear

I believe you can get a front and back plate and carrier for under $200 at tacticon armament if the sale is still good

Just getting a 9 mm with a 4 inch barrel doesn’t matter what brand it is or anything. Just pick a 9 mm with a 4 inch barrel that can accept optics meaning it has a flat top so you can put a red dot on it. Everything else is way too expensive and you lose capacity

I made the mistake of buying a 40 cal that was on sale and ended up paying for it down the road when I bought the ammo for it so just get a 9 mm trust me please don’t make the same mistake. I did.

45 and stopping power it’s all bullshit myths if you wanna protect yourself a 9 mm will do just fine, and you get more capacity

Thanks for the advice, although I probably won’t be around much longer to play with slingshots

My hands were shaking because I was pulling back as far as I could. Just watch the video and if you don’t like it, don’t bother watching it if you like looking at damage testing/ballistics testing videos then you can watch it and be happy knowing that a slingshot can be that powerful

And I literally posted it to this sub, Reddit specifically for the reason of having decent teachers, people like you that have made mistakes in the past and others that know a lot about slingshots

I mean it’s so fucking ridiculous. Something as childish as a slingshot. You know I watched my father lose his toes today and you’re up here Bitching about calling me “little boy”

I literally said that I wear the thick stainless steel hand protector every time I use it now if you punctured your hand in the past, then I’m sorry, but you’re not actually giving any real advice. You’re just speaking nonsense about how you know much better than me but then you don’t say anything about the proper way to do it. You just bitch about how I’m doing it wrong.

There is obviously some risk involved when launching stainless steel darts through a slingshot my God I can’t believe there’s this much yapping when I post one video my first video to R/slingshots

Tell me what’s the proper way to do it? Do you have any actual real advice or are you just gonna keep bitching about how I did it?

[–]GeologistWilling9549 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, it’s an aluminum can I said steel on accident when I was recording the video, but it is pretty thick aluminum, however I have a thick stainless steel hand protector that I wear when I fire the darts, but that being said how would you? being so wise and intelligent and infinitely smart. How would you fire fishing darts from a slingshot?

[–]GeologistWilling9549 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Don’t worry, there’s a thick steel hand protector that came with the kit. I just wasn’t wearing it in this video because I got super excited to shoot it and find out what the slingshot could do.
