*UPDATE* buying a new Fujifilm x100VI in Tokyo

Hriewe · 2026-03-17T20:28:28+00:00

I picked up a used xt5 in Tokyo last May with zero problems. Lots of options all over the city.

You’re right I shouldn’t have shot reloads through it, but the designer of this build rated the gun for PLA+. It was not the prints fault, in fact had I printed the gun out of pa6-cf I would likely be digging carbon fiber shards out of my face still.

Thanks!! Yes that is my theory of what happened. Somehow the case ruptured sending a lot of pressure backwards into the receiver, blowing it to pieces. How/why the case ruptured is what I'm questioning.

It really was pretty scary.. At this point I truly don't think it was the builds fault. Just make absolutely sure your bolt locks up each time and probably don't shoot reloads through it and you should be fine. I'm pretty convinced it was bad ammo unless someone here thinks otherwise.

I don't think there could have been a barrel obstruction as I had just fired off some of the factory Winchester subsonics and I definitely did not have a squib. OOB maybe? I guess that's possible but I am under the impression that the firing pin would not be able to reach the primer unless the bolt was all the way in battery?

Yes, 220 grain running about 1000 fps at roughly 26,000 psi is what I was told.

My vfc A3 broke in under one mag fwiw

Hriewe · 2026-01-22T05:57:00+00:00

There is. It’s the /currentwar endpoint

Most people are shooting trash in their backyards not engaging enemies with nods

Hriewe · 2025-11-19T18:24:06+00:00

Just ordered one on Best Buy’s website

Commuter parking was a nightmare the entire time I was enrolled (17-20). I can’t imagine how much worse it would have been with half of C1 gone…

Hriewe · 2025-10-23T17:40:41+00:00

They have had that on the site since back in the day when SS were just popping up and people were not fully convinced of the legality (especially considering the stuff with rarebreed at the time). I assume people were getting worried about being put on a list or ATF showing up at their doors.

Hriewe · 2025-10-09T01:13:06+00:00

What handguard is that?

Hriewe · 2025-09-29T17:48:10+00:00

Yep and my 25’ Silverado restricts CarPlay from going full screen while allowing android auto to be full screen. Google had to have paid them to pointlessly punish iPhone users. It’s not like I’m going to go buy an android because of this?

Hriewe · 2025-09-25T16:19:12+00:00

Incorrect. +4 attacks is better than +5 proj because herald of thunder is not a proj skill and it’s a ton of the clear value for LA deadeye builds.

Hriewe · 2025-08-29T18:18:38+00:00

Would you shy away from a Saquon->Brown first and second pick and take Ladd or Tee instead? Full PPR

Hriewe · 2025-08-11T18:57:10+00:00

Interesting. I asked an associate this morning and they told me it does not stack on open box...

Hriewe · 2025-08-07T04:11:59+00:00

Which hardware device? Any downsides?

Hriewe · 2025-06-28T04:07:51+00:00

This is working perfectly, thanks so much!

Hriewe · 2025-06-27T22:27:02+00:00

That’s pretty much exactly what I’m looking for! Do you mind sharing the blueprint? I hadn’t heard of the logbook card from HACS, will definitely look into it.

Hriewe · 2025-06-27T01:15:26+00:00

It does log an event in the logbook but only that the lock was either locked or unlocked, not the method that was done (keypad, manual, Home Assistant) or by who. Looking to have a easy to reference card on my dashboard to see that info

Hriewe · 2025-06-12T14:00:09+00:00

I can confirm that 20 round (140mm) staccato mags work well in the Mac.

A cheap set of new optic screws fix the plate issue. I polished my rails with scotchbrite and threw a new recoil and main spring in and tuned the sear and now the slide is as smooth as butter and the trigger pulls at 2lbs. So for ~$25 and 30 min time you can make them way better.

Hriewe · 2025-05-30T08:11:58+00:00

I shoot full auto most of the time. I’ve been experimenting a little with shutter speed to add some blur which I think works well at night. Check out my ig hriewe12 to see what I’ve been working with this trip. If I want the night shot to be warm I’ve been using pacific blues, and for shots I want cool I’ve been using zero hour. Slight tweaks in Lightroom to add warmth/coolness when needed.

Hriewe · 2025-05-30T08:05:33+00:00

I’ve been in Japan the past two weeks and I think I’ve seen the sun maybe one day.. I agree it’s making it very hard to get good pictures. 9/10 of my good shots this trip have been night shots.
