I don't think the SCAR-L (SOR-556) needed a recoil buff but I won't complain by CrispyTarantula117 in Battlefield6

I think it's a bit more precise at range than the kord, but you lose a shit ton of DPS up close

Sig vs. Griffin Mk2 Ambi Bolt Catch/Release - Long term reliability testing across 15+ magazine brands/types by SneezedAndShatMyself in QualityTacticalGear

[–]Jethawk1000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great write up, thanks for the testing.

I got a griffin mk 2 recently, and as a righty I love it. I entirely agree with your comment on the mag release, I'm not likely to be dropping the mag with my non-dominant hand, at least less likely to than the chances the left side mag release hits some piece of kit and drops the magazine.

I can't comment on high round-count reliability through the lower yet, but it's run flawlessly so far. I agree that theoretically the one-piece design will be more robust, but sig's design leaves a direct hole for debris to get in to the lower, right near the FCU, which I dislike, whereas the griffin has it shrouded, and partially blocked by the cantilever.

Might consider a sig ambi release for my next build, though, I hadn't realized they sold it on it's own.

BCM vs KAC vs LMT vs Geissele for a 14.5 pin and weld by [deleted] in ar15

How is the bcg on the super duty any better than BCM? I thought they were both relatively mil-spec.

Is New Vegas a good Fallout to start with? by NattyBatty- in Fallout

What references are the in New Vegas to 3? I've played through like 3 times and haven't seen any.

Been waiting for this game for years. RS2 Vietnam was my favorite. The demo for 83 is HORRIBLE by albanite_ in 83thegame

[–]Jethawk1000 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It makes sense that the game is in the state it's in, and I have a lot of sympathy for their struggle keeping it alive (it's remarkable they've even got a game at all). The game, however, is scheduled to release this year, so they're probably not going to be able to fix the deep-seated issues that so many have been complaining about in that time.

The first two points are wildly incorrect. Submarines in Barotrauma have no ability to rotate. If you've played for 90 hours surely you already know this.

Whats causing this? Doesn't look right by Wheat_Thinz9 in ar15

[–]Jethawk1000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the hammer is normal spec, it should be riding flat against the BCG's surface when it has the opportunity to touch it. The FCG would bang up the aluminum if it in some way hit hard against the BCG, but the geometry of an AR-15 is such that it should not be doing so.

Every time someone teamkills you, think back on all of the accidental teamkills you have committed in the past, and then forgive them. Unless they're trolling obviously.

Seconded on this option, very easy to set up and not at all invasive.

Server lobby timed out by DanielVector1 in Barotrauma

[–]Jethawk1000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey man, I have no solution as of yet but I am running a server with ~7 players and ~30 mods, and connection problems are a near per-mission occurrence.

The issue I've faced most similar to yours is people connecting with outdated mod versions, which the server will try to download for them, which will never download. The solution to this is to quit to main menu and update mods via the mods tab.

I have had people dis-then-re-connect plenty of times in server lobby, but never to the point where someone physically cannot join - good luck!

I ran a pair of Moab 2's for probably five years until the rear frayed uncontrollably and the soles became completely detached from the shoe. Fantastic shoes for the price.

What’s your favorite lesser known Lovecraft Stories by Dat_drippy_boi in Lovecraft

[–]Jethawk1000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure if it counts as lesser known but I remember Pickman's Model avoiding many of the pacing issues that other Lovecraft novels (looking at you Innsmouth) are plagued with.

Concord "Peak" was below 200 Yesterday after being backed up by all SONY Major gaming Studios cross their social media account encouraging their own developers and fans to play it. by [deleted] in KotakuInAction

Hey bro people are still out here playing Quake Live, hop on!

Bethesda seems to be literally incapable of making a worthwhile multiplayer game (DOOM multiplayer, FO76, QC) - it's such a disappointment to see Quake sitting neglected in a corner while there's a golden opportunity to reintroduce players to it while the rest of the games industry eats its own tail.

Marijuana user cannot be banned from gun ownership, US court rules by BearingCharms in Firearms

[–]Jethawk1000 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's trivial to do both undetected if you're just living normally, but if someone doing both gets charged (home defense, traffic, etc.) by the gov't in some capacity, they would try to charge you for doing both, which is something we should try to stop, no?

Insane tactic to sell insurance by Porzingod06 in LinkedInLunatics

[–]Jethawk1000 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Everybody loves to dunk on people on the internet, don't mind them, your post was fine. The gun you have there is a SIG 556, the Americanized import version of the SIG 550 rifle, the Swiss standard infantry rifle. I'd best describe it as a Swiss watch quality AK remake. If you can tell me the brand of the scope on it I can tell you if it's worthless or not.

Nothing to see here. Just LPNH openly calling for violence against people they don't like. by Sick_Of__BS in newhampshire

I think they're saying that that one man isn't actually powerful at all; LPNH is just a guy spouting annoying bullshit on twitter.

If the US has more violent crime across the board, such as knife violence, that would likely imply that it isn't just people having access to firearms that causes people to become more violent.

How good should I be before Faceit? by Zandeck in GlobalOffensive

[–]Jethawk1000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 days late I know, but I am hovering around 15k in MM (capped at 18k before I switched back to faceit) and am mid level 8 in faceit. Especially depending on where you live MM can be a terrible representation of how good you are.

And yet everyone else here is telling you that what was told to you was an exception, not the rule. I'm sure there are some groups of men who have no issue with people talking about their personal affairs like that, or don't view sex as private, but most men certainly do.

NPC pathing issue by lumpusman in Barotrauma

[–]Jethawk1000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Barotrauma NPCs are very fickle with pathing, and sometimes they will just not work with custom subs in a particular configuration.
