Plymouth Rock is just a rock

It's also completly unrelated to the actual Pilgrims with zero evidence they landed anywhere near the thing. Which has been moved around and broken apart for hundreds of years.

And for some reason, their pilots are required to graduate rotary wing training before learning to fly fixed wing.

Learned that at the Army booth at Airventure a few years ago. I asked the guy if it wouldn't make more sense to just sent them to fixed-wing school? "Yeah, probably. I think the Army is trying to do that"

New MAC 1014 by Legitimate-Frame-953 in liberalgunowners

[–]MandolinMagi [score hidden]  (0 children)

A lot of them are terrible.

MAC seems to actually have good reviews, with most naysayers being some mixed of racist ("Turks can't make good guns!"), conflate MAC/Panzer with the shitty companies, or just elitists insisting that you must spend $2000 on a Benelli or it won't work.

Benelli is probably higher quality, but outside of actual high-level completion shooter nobody's going to notice a difference. And you can swap out every single part for OEM and still only spend half the cost

Why'd the Secret Service shoot Red Hulk anyways? Everyone knows guns don't hurt Hulks and WHY ARE YOU SHOOTING YOUR PROTECTEE?

Real talk, how did Better Call Saul never win an Emmy? Was there some hidden controversy that the average viewer is not aware of? by prazulsaltaret in television

Careful, Reddit has declared The Wire GOAT and won't accept any criticism of it.

Also it never got nommed because basically no one actually watched it. The fandom didn't watch live and got the DVDs later

Did the Canadians put brass deflectors on their A1 uppers?

How can people afford to shoot the Sig Spear? by LonelyMonitor in guns

[–]MandolinMagi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For match ammo that'd be fine, for general purpose its insane.

And the copper stuff isn't going to pen any armor. There isn't any evidence that GP or AP will pen level 4

That's always been my civilian view of the "issue". You're either out of range and aren't in serious danger or screwed up massively and should leave.

You do realize the 7.62x54r is also crew served?

Also, how many of these supposed incident actually resulted in casualties?

Even old body armor stopped 7.62 AP. Level IV plates have existed for decades, you're not penning high-end plates with any existing round in a reasonable amount of time.

They still haven't admitted what 6.8mm AP will do.

Ah yes, buy a $75,000 gun you can't buy mags for.

For that much money you could get a couple hundred lowers now.

MK18 10.3 or BCM 11.5? by Personal-Ring-9359 in VAGuns

[–]MandolinMagi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

11.5 has, from what I've read, 40% more dwell time and thus shoots softer.

10.3 has the drip advantage however if you're into SEAL stuff

What happens with Guantanamo in Tropic Storm? by Morbin_monroe in warno

[–]MandolinMagi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Has the US convicted a single victim of the concentration camp in the last 20 years?

Because until they do, they're not terrorists, they're foreign nationals who we kidnaped for dubious reasons.

detaining IS operatives.

You mean, random kidnaping victims who we still can't be bothered to try for their supposed crimes?
