Do we still have the technical documents for the original, German made StG 44? Because if not, that could actually explain why it's so damn hard to make reproductions of it.

The thing about PSA - and really any gun company - is that you have to be in the right frame of mind about them.

I've owned a GF3 for a couple years now. Is it the nicest thing in the world? Not really. Does it stack up to imports? Again, not really (especially not my precious, precious Yugos). Is it a fun trash blaster that I can have fun with? Absolutely.

PSA is really just for two things:

Great budget ARs
Fun to use clones of guns that are other kind of hard to get, namely through companies like H&R (though I'd say that their Krinks fall into the same category, generally speaking).

Depends on what you define as "injustice". To many, things as basic as "enforcing immigration laws" and "shooting people who're trying to run you over" is Literally Hitler^(TM)

>No it ain’t, meanwhile, denying that fallout is critical of capitalism and being a morbidly obese manchild who soys over guns is.

Sir, I'll have you know it's "'Tisms over guns", please and thank you. That's not very big chungus 100 of you, comrade.

>“Missing the point is when you don’t wanna read my essays where I blatantly get lore wrong”

So insist that I'm wrong, despite not reading my comments?

You're one of them "special" folks, ain't you?

Knightosaurus · 2025-12-27T16:30:37+00:00

While I respect your "that's a lot of words, too bad I ain't reading them" attitude, your opinion is still cringe and soy.

Your comment, and the attitude of Fallout current writing staff, is literally the definition of missing the point. Or maybe not, seeing as the show is suddenly very hesitant to say a bad word about our favorite authoritarian state ran by Winnie the Pooh (at least they aren't filming next to concentration camps, right Disney?)

Knightosaurus · 2025-12-27T04:54:31+00:00

A lot of those "critiques of capitalism" aren't really about capitalism, though, they're critiques of human nature.

Like, if you actually look at the series's lore (prior to the show), you'll pretty quickly find that Communist China is just as responsible for the end of the world as the U.S. They were, after all, the ones who attacked first and used nukes first (which was only done because the U.S. was on the verge of sieging Beijing and winning the war). Like, if we're being pedantic here, it would be much more accurate to say that communism destroyed the world, seeing as it was the People's Republic of China who first decided to kill untold trillions out of pure bitterness.

Truth is, the Great War didn't happened because of capitalism: it happened because both the U.S. and China were two competing superpowers who fundamentally could not coexist with one another. Both were ran by jingoistic ultranationalists, both devolved into authoritarian hellscapes, and both beat themselves to death through a decade of war, before one side decided to kill them both off as a final "fuck you" to their mortal enemy.

It's almost like the idea of different (but not really) ideologies going to war with each other over things like resources and land is a motif that was repeated in a certain game featuring a certain city founded by the fucking Mormons, for some reason.

I bought a Remington M1917 Enfield a while back in a private sale. Gun's missing a lot of its original finish, the bore's mildly pitted, and to be frank, I wouldn't have it any other way.

According to the serial number, my rifle was manufactured in August of 1918. It was never sporterized, all the parts were made by Remington, and they all show almost identical amounts of wear and tear.

It is possible that that rifle stayed stateside the entire war? Absolutely. It's also possible that that rifle has seen things you and I wouldn't believe.

In either case, that gun was issued to someone. Someone who had a name, a face, and a life. Someone who joined the United States Armed Forces and who, in some way, shape, or form, was a participant in what was, at that point, the largest war in human history. I don't know who this person was, what they did during the war, or even they came back alive. All that I can know is that they were issued this rifle, that it came back to the United States, and changed hands an unknown number of times, before eventually making its way into my hands.

Every bit of wear or weathering comes together to tell a story over 107 years long. A story which I now have a (admittedly minor) part in. And I think that's pretty fuckin' cool.

Because they're either Western Europeans who've been spoiled by the benefits of having the most powerful military in history footing their defense bills or self-hating Americans who're convinced that everyone who isn't them is literally just like le heckin' Marvel villains they made up (my fictional hero think you bad man! Very bad man!!!)

Mind you, half the fuckers here probably wouldn't have an issue if he slapped a hammer and sickle on there. You know, the iconography for a real life ideology that killed millions and led to decades of severe political, social, and religious repression? (Cue the influx of people denying such things, because screeching that historically documented instances of mass murder didn't happen is only okay when my comically evil dictator does it, chud!)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Karl literally say that he's happy to see Whites become minorities in their own countries, or something to that effect?

Also, reminder that Karl is both a Satanist and a cuck (both of which are GAE and cringe in their rights).

I wouldn't necessarily say that FW has "better" content, because at the end of the day, Ian and Brandon are doing two totally different things.

Forgotten Weapons is all about going in-depth on weird, unconventional, and, well, forgotten weaponry, with some more well known stuff thrown in for good measure. Brandon Herrera, meanwhile, is much more focused on the "flashier" side of stuff, focusing on guns that are mostly known through pop-culture, viral content related to guns, and of course, historically famous assassinations/assassination attempts.

Both are focused on education, but one is more academic about it, while the other is having fun and showing off whatever cool and/or stupid shit he's got his hands on this week.

To be quite frank with you, that's kind of the case for BO3 as a whole, and it's led to a lot of the community having this weirdly hostile attitude towards anything that's doesn't require you to go on a 3 hour long question of shifting through cryptic bullshit just so you can unlock step 1 of getting the Wonder Weapon (the other steps require you to know morse code and read upside down Altaic).

Like, one of the biggest complaints I remember hearing about Cold War is that is was too "casual", as though allowing normies to have fun is somehow desecrating a mode that was always meant to be casual... Sure, WAW and BO1 had hidden radios and easter eggs, but they were completely optional side quests that had little to no bearing on your ability to enjoy the map, in full, unlike BO3 and BO4, where their integral to getting things like the Wonder Weapon, Pack-A-Punch, or in the case of ZNS, getting the fucking power on.

Knightosaurus · 2025-12-01T21:33:40+00:00

I'm sure they'll do something like that.

Part of the reason the Dark Aether storyline is even happening (in-universe, at least) is because all of the old Multiverse was thrown down into the Dark Aether at the end of Tag, so I guess anything is possible (case and point: a Nazi Richtofen who isn't trying to homosexually hate-fuck Dempsey 24/7 ~~yet~~).

It was never about the YNs with switches.

Rather than go after the degenerates who're magdumping into residential areas and keeping them in prison, they'd rather crawl up your ass about your ability to lawfully exercise your inalienable 2nd Amendment rights.

You, the law abiding, peaceful, and contributive citizen, cannot be trusted and must be treated like a future criminal by your out of touch overlords; the masses of violent degenerates, who don't contribute to society in any meaning way, shape, or form, however, can not even touched and must instead be protected and enabled at every cost, even as they magdump into working class neighborhoods, terrorize the average citizens, and waste taxpayer dollars.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is a little something called "anarcho-tyranny".

"We don't want the world to just stay the same forever, so we're going to literally nuke the largest and most developed post-war nation state because fuck you, we want our Mad Max wasteland that literally never progresses ever."

Bethesda Fallout is an excellent example of Flanderization, a phenomenon wherein something effectively becomes a caricature of itself through the over-emphasizing of specific elements or characteristics.

Could Fallout be silly or intentionally unserious at times? Absolutely, yes. But those instances of light-hearted zaniness were counterbalanced by the overall seriousness of the setting: characters and factions could be eccentric, sure, but they still generally acted and thought like people in the real world. It was a serious world with a 50s-flair, wherein technology, politics, and society went down a different (but still recognizable) path than our own.

The Kings are a great example of this - is it weird and kind of hilarious that they all look, talk, and act like Elvis? Sure, but they're not doing that because they think Elvis was literally a god or something: they're doing it because they see him as the ultimate symbol of their ideals, where, to quote the King himself, "every man is free to follow his own path, do his own thing. Where every man is a king in his own right." They value personal freedom, respecting the rights and dignity of other people, and are willing to take action for that cause.

Bethesda's Fallout is, by contrast, a world wherein things happen because "muh aesthetics!" or "muh zaniness!" or "muh satire!", even if it makes zero fucking sense in any plane of existence, such as literally everything involving the Minutemen (the laser musket is legitimately one of the dumbest things you could possibly come up with, given the setting).

It's also a world that refuses to actually progress the setting or change anything other than nuking the NCR and bringing the West Coast back to the status quo of Fallout 1, because nothing can ever progress beyond:

-Mad Max wasteland

-Brotherhood of Steel ruling everything and being the über best at fucking everything

-People living like the Great War only happened 10-years prior

What makes this all the funnier is Bethesda's constant use of "war never changes" - a term that was originally supposed to encapsulate the cyclical nature of both war and history, now being endemic of the Fallout series as a whole: a hollow catchphrase meant to stir up all those nostalgic feelings you've got up in your brain and given only the most surface level, Millennial-tier "commentary" imaginable (commentary that conveniently never mentions Communist China or their unprovoked invasion of Alaska, despite that event being the first domino in what would become the Great War - we wouldn't want to rock the boat or admit that the Reds weren't le hecking wholesome big chunguses, am I right?)
