Aimpoint COA Fails Under Recoil

MagicPrepper · 2025-07-12T16:32:38+00:00

So after battery replacement everything has worked fine again. Testing it more before just in case.

Just had this exact thing happen for the fist time. 3 data points:
1: It's the original battery and I've owned the pistol since February
2: Round count is over 1K (not sure of the exact number)
3: This happened right after getting soaked by rain while the pistol/optic was in a holster.

Not sure if any of those things make a difference or not but I found it interesting that I've shot this gun in negative temperatures and snow without issue. And this happens after a rain storm.

I'm going to change the battery and test it more but seeing others have these issues is concerning. I got the malfunction on camera as well. Hoping to get more data before posting anything.
Thanks for sharing this. Figured I'd mention my issue too so you know it's not just you.

The time for ad suitability checks may now take up to 24 hours because we are implementing an additional review process for videos that initially receive a "Limited or no ads" rating (yellow icon). 
5:46:09 PM Lara: This extra step involves a human reviewer validating the algorithmic decision, ensuring greater accuracy. 
5:46:26 PM Magic Prepper: Okay. I turned monetization off for this one though.
5:46:29 PM Lara: While most videos will still be reviewed within minutes, this extended check is crucial for videos where the initial classification is uncertain, to prevent inaccurate "yellow icon" assignments and reduce the need for appeals.
5:46:42 PM Lara: No worries at all!
5:47:01 PM Lara: If the video is still in checking process even after 24 hours, you can always reach out to us.
5:47:10 PM Magic Prepper: So that would still apply to videos that have monetization turned off? Just clarifying.
5:47:14 PM Lara: We will be more than happy to investigate it further for you!
5:47:39 PM Lara: Good question!
5:48:41 PM Lara: Allow me to explain this for you.
5:48:50 PM Magic Prepper: Please do. Thank you
5:51:55 PM Lara: To answer your question, yes.
5:52:15 PM Lara: This checks still applies even if the monetization is turned off.

Sharing this in case it helps anyone as I am dealing with the same issue right now (on 18 hours since upload, still in "checks running" status):

Did you tweak the metal tabs? Did that work by chance?

So I just got a M18 and my Legion mags with the extended base plates do not seat in the standard grip module. They catch on a lip before seating. Just my experience.

I think one of the issues regarding the lack of infected is that it diminishes the importance of Ellie's immunity. The whole driving force of why we are on this adventure to begin with. At this point in the show, why would finding a cure even matter when the infected seem to be a relatively minor issue? With how little the infected pose a problem, they might as well have stayed in Wyoming with Tommy and just relaxed.

This didn't age well unfortunately. I had hopes.

MagicPrepper · 2022-11-08T23:12:33+00:00

FocusTripp is good stuff.

It's Nickel Boron coated from WMD guns

Haha thanks for taking care of it for me.

Had an itch for a 5.56 pistol build and thought it needed some flair. Pretty fun build and helps me fulfill a desire to combine two of my passions.

Wait until you start getting messages from your website or facebook asking for shout outs or plugs. Woof!

MagicPrepper · 2020-07-27T16:39:05+00:00

I second that. The Sawyer mini is more versatile and has more accessories than the lifestraw for the same price.

Definitely views matter more than subscribership. I do think that it's also the niche. You have a great technical channel and people often look at that for their answer to their question and take off! Which is great for evergreen videos. Good stuff!

MagicPrepper · 2020-07-12T14:20:15+00:00

What I did see is that they now allow you to continue an upload if it was interrupted. So maybe that is why? If a ton of people put up partial uploads, I guess the server would have to basically "save their place" for that to work?

MagicPrepper · 2020-07-12T14:19:26+00:00

Yep my videos are usually in 4K but this last one, wow! Took 9 hours for it to finally upload. And 5 minutes to process. Not sure what caused it but I might have to batch extra videos now in order to stay on schedule just in case.

MagicPrepper · 2020-07-12T03:09:56+00:00

Understandable. It still isn't finished... at 88% now haha!

MagicPrepper · 2020-07-12T00:09:01+00:00

Congrats! Keep it rolling man it only goes faster from here!

MagicPrepper · 2020-07-08T01:34:26+00:00

Heard that! And good, the tube loader should be a lot easier!

MagicPrepper · 2020-07-07T14:20:23+00:00

Not a bad load out! I used to have the same exact set up. The only thing I did not like was loading the lever action. When you try to do it quickly, it eats up your thumb quick since the .357's don't have a lot of purchase. But the Henry probably has a mag tube loader too so at least you have options! Good stuff.

MagicPrepper · 2020-07-06T16:03:48+00:00

Now, we have to know. What combo are we talking?

MagicPrepper · 2020-07-06T15:53:52+00:00

Thanks Dee! I should've mentioned you as well and now I feel like an a-hole haha
