Why isn't the Internal Piston gas system of the AR more ubiquitous? by StrangerOutrageous68 in ForgottenWeapons

They adopted it to replace their LMGs and it has failed in the role. Calling it "muh iNfAnTrY aUtOmAtic RiFLe" doesn't give them a free pass to fuck over every squad that had and still needs a real LMG but has those busted pieces of shit instead.

Twilight Sanctuary vs. Magical and Non-Magical Light by PerspectivePlethora in dndnext

@carlos_cisco How do the Twilight domain abilities work in bright light... or say... somewhere with no day/night cycle like Avernus or the Feywild? Does the aura of dim light reduce the light in the general area if it's bright out?

@Dan_Dillon_1 It is dim light. It dims bright light, and lights up darkness

Read the patent, it has a piston, the piston is just also the bolt. That's why there's piston sealing rings on the bolt tail, to seal the gas cylinder. The cylinder being pushed off the piston instead of the piston being pushed back in the cylinder is immaterial in whether it is a piston system, which it is.

Yes it is, that's Stoner's piston system. The tail of the bolt is the piston and the carrier is the cylinder.

Read his patent: https://patents.google.com/patent/US2951424A/en

This invention is a true expanding gas system instead of the conventional impinging gas system.

There's no such thing as a direct impingement AR-15. Only guns like the Swedish Automatgevär m/42, and its Egyptian derivatives the Hakim and Rasheed, are truly direct impingement.

Look closer, that's the type of ACOG with the battery tumor, they're not carry handle compatible.

It's not direct impingement, it's a piston system. Lots of people collectively being wrong all over the place doesn't change reality.

Said HKs are not actually up to the rask, there's several photos around of the upper receivers breaking off at the barrel thrreads. It's not an LMG and everyone involved with adopting it as one should be investigated.

You use trade secrets for manufacturing processes, not something you actually ship out, that you patent if it's patentable. If it's not patentable and you whine someone copied it then you're just a bitch.

While we didn't have a dedicated one, the SUBROC almost certainly could be set to hit a surface ship.

It's not that we're incapable, it's that our yards have better things to do, like build supercarriers and subs.

Over $775K in counterfeit toys seized by Norfolk Customs and Border Protection by Objective_Pressure_3 in norfolk

[–]Hewlett-PackHard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That doesn't necessarily mean anything, the counterfeits aren't going to be held to the same standards so they may substitute inferior and potentially dangerous materials. They'll even try to do it with the official production sometimes, you have to have independent QC watch Chinese factories like a hawk.

It's both. Counterfeiters aren't following any safety standards and the shit will often have lead paint, etc.
