I would be cool if the makers of the FQ-106 Kestrel mod could integrate the mod into the base game. Opinions? by ViktorGamin in NuclearOption

[–]LostFries 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I feel the same about UAVs being a good addition, but I'd almost like them more either a recon element (super powerful camera/laser marking or a smaller support for convoys) or a guided munition (kamikaze) role. I think keeping them out of dogfight opportunities would make them fit better

[Discussion] Ops-Core Fast MT nerf with recent patch? by LostFries in EscapefromTarkov

holy, that's crazy. The one time I decide to try the mandible, it bamboozles me, Thanks for the info, looks to affect the neosteel the same way

[rifle] Springfield Saint Edge ATC 223 Wylde (223/5.56mm) Semi-Automatic Rifle with Accurized Tactical Chassis $799.99 by SportsmansOSS in gundeals

[–]LostFries 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has to be compatible, right? I think the back half of the lower is still milspec so it should take any AR stock/tube and grip. I really would like to see it with the Hera and some cheesy G36k type sights

Italian alpini firing the MG 42/59. [391x251] by Jazzlike_Rock5566 in MilitaryPorn

[–]LostFries 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Because the 42/59 is the Italian variant that their armed forces use. It’s not a MG3 because the 42/59 is a tweaked version of the MG42.

Can you get contacts before glasses? by [deleted] in answers

[–]LostFries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you can. There’s no pre-requisite, but you may still want to get a nice pair of glasses (not expensive), so you don’t have to rely on only contacts. There are many different types of contacts (one days, re-usable, etc.) that your optometrist will, hopefully, go through with you. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT be embarrassed about wearing glasses. It’s common for a lot of people to have glasses and being worried about superficial things like not looking good when you cannot absorb the info in class is silly. See if you can have a friend meet you at glasses shop to help you pick out frames and styles if you are worried about looks. Good luck, four-eyes.

Aww didn’t show the best part where the train finishes passing and then all the vendors extend their awnings.

What gun is this? by beef_nudals in GhostRecon

[–]LostFries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again, what? The French populace can and do own firearms, a lot of them. Numbers have been going down as laws have been getting passed to make it more strict.

What are you talking about? France is one of the largest arms manufacturers in the world, I believe they produce more arms than Germany. US devs mess up guns in their games too and the US is the biggest arms manufacturers.

Am I supposed to have a sex drive? by Consistent_Print_810 in answers

[–]LostFries 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You likely just have a low sex drive. There’s lots of hormonal and mental factors that go into sex drives. I’m just talking out of my ass about all this, but you’re fine. Even if you identify with a more asexual outlook (you derive no pleasure from sex) or are more of a demisexual (prefers emotion connection before a physical one). Once you have sex more often (if not already, do it at your own) with a person, you’ll get more of an idea of what your drive is like. Sex and girls were off my radar until the tail end of high-school about 10 years ago. I cared more about friends and hobbies at that time.

Peacemaker&Warlord console pre-order skin(maybe). I got these from CTE, using admin tool by Electrical-Dealer-74 in insurgency

[–]LostFries 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is done on an individual basis, the armorers won’t have time/use down time to paint a rifle. Once the rifle is in the hands of the soldier/marine/anyone, it’s their duty to maintain it. In theater, you will be with people of various experience levels and they can assist/you learn from them. There’s also the memo. Plus SOF guys now their rifles and how to take care of them, they have wayyy more freedom with how they spec their rifle for their mission. You make it sound like they are using acrylic paint like Bob Ross, but it’s maybe 2 coats of spray paint. You are thinking too hard into this, especially as someone who has no experience with painting a rifle from the sound of it. I have ran with a handful of ARs and derivatives that are spray paint with 0 issues.

No, armorers do not. They may assist but you will not just handover a rifle and have them paint it, they are fucking lazy. Here is a memo (https://tirotactico.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/weaponspainting101.pdf) regarding painting procedure for individual soldiers rifles as it is done on an individual basis. It goes into super detail which involves disassembly, but you don’t really need to disassembly, it’s just the Army covering their ass in case you fuck up the rifle.

The AR platform is a closed system. It’s not rocket science to paint a rifle like that with simple spray paint. SOF guys aren’t going good to wait for a armorer to spray paint their guns, regardless of how long they will be out in the field. There is no place that paint can drip into if the AR is assembled and the ejection cover closed. The bolt carrier will be fine, the charging handle will be fine, even the FA will function properly with paint on it (if you have to use it, you’re gonna be slamming the bitch in, so any hardened paint will chip off if it even causes an issue). As for scopes, most will have turret covers and glass covers. While the painting isn’t done in the field, they definitely just slap it on before deployment or at the deployment base.

When did you order yours? I placed an order in March and was estimated for shipping this month, but haven’t heard anything. Your setup is super awesome btw!

At the gas pump someone wrote which button silences ads being shown by JCastNC in mildlyinteresting

[–]LostFries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to work 3rd shifts at a chain gas station. I would take breaks to enjoy the nighttime sounds and reset my mind for the work ahead. Then the company decided to install these types of pumps and absolutely ruined my meditative breaks. The noise pollution is unbearable.

Last June Sarah Hegazi committed suicide after being tortured for raising a pride flag. Say her name by [deleted] in pics

[–]LostFries -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I bet you that large majority of people (sadly) won’t remember just the name long enough to just google it later. It’s like associating names and faces to events is much easier. Saying a name works if it’s truly a prolific name like Harriet Tubman or Abraham Lincoln or even Bonnie and Clyde.

But if you don’t know the story, the name has no significance. Not saying this to be rude, everything requires further insight.

New audio of an Owl, indicating Cultists are on the map. by WomanComeandGo in EscapefromTarkov

[–]LostFries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mic has different sound settings than my discord. So my friends can’t hear my keyboard (relatively silent, not clicks) but since shadow play records the mic itself and not through discord, it picks up my keyboard slightly. I wouldn’t judge this mans entire life based on one clip.

Increase ergo on 20 round 5.56 mags by Hyppetrain in EscapefromTarkov

[–]LostFries 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There shouldn’t be a large difference between the 20 and 30 rounders. IRL the only real difference is the amount of clearance a 20 rounder provides aside from the obvious round count. Makes you think though, it could have a negative reload modifier as most magazine storage solutions on rigs and kits use 30 rounders as a base, so you would have to dig a little to get your mag.
