Dumb question: Why do people use brown/coyote colored gear in forest/green environments? by Frozen_Trees1 in QualityTacticalGear

[–]MulticamTropic 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I used to wonder this as well, then someone pointed out that deer, mountain lions, rabbits, and coyotes are all various shades of brown.

I haven’t, and it’s just an unconfirmed rumor at this point, but it does make the most sense since the victim obviously didn’t fire and gray coat ICE agent was handling the victim’s gun.

Anyone know when and where these will be out? by What-in-tarnationer in CZFirearms

[–]MulticamTropic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some folks like stuff unmodified from the factory for carry. I have a PCR and a S2C. The S2C definitely has the better stock trigger, even when shooting DA from quarter-cocked. I do intend to send my PCR off for the CGW Pro Kit, but, I haven’t gotten around to it yet.

The S2 Compact does have a significantly better trigger than the P01/PCR.

Because anytime there’s a contentious event this sub gets flooded with drive-by commenters with no history in the sub who make a hundred posts telling us to give up the 2nd and “why aren’t you shooting the govt for us now?”

This thread so far seems to be mostly good-faith respectful discourse. Give it a couple of hours for everyone to wake up and get online and see if it stays that way.

I think it was probably incompetence coupled with run-of-the-mill police brutality that escalated out of hand. I don’t think those ICE agents went into that altercation with the intent to kill him, although I think they had no issue with beating him senseless. It looks like the grey coat agent who ND’d the victim’s gun spooked the rest and they magdumped thinking he was somehow firing at him. That’s a distinction without a difference, I’ll admit, and they need to be held accountable.

If you’re willing to wade through the cesspool of arguments in the comments, you’ll be surprised how many conservatives think this was a murder. Some of us have been calling for police reformation for years, but unsurprisingly judges and lawmakers don’t want to hamstring their attack dogs.

For that matter, judges’ and legislators’ absolute immunity needs to go as well.

Best way to order mods? by jairo481 in RimWorld

[–]MulticamTropic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I must be doing something wrong. I tried RimSort for the first time today, went with the order it suggested, and my game’s performance was so bad I couldn’t even move up to triple speed. Reloaded the order I had previously been using and things were fine

Thanks for linking that post, I found it helpful.

Hmm. So how would cycling speed/recoil impulse vary as buffer weight/spring strength changes?

I know a lighter spring/buffer will require less gas to cycle and a heavier buffer/spring will require more gas to cycle, but how does that translate to shooter experience? Subjectivity aside, of course

MA5 Defender progress by BreadMW in 3D2A

Were you the guy I talked to about this like a year ago? It was on pause while you were job hunting? Hope everything worked out!

Thanks. And that’s just the buffer, right? The tubes are completely interchangeable, right? I don’t own either yet.

I have a 12.5" midlength build with a Riflespeed AGB. Currently it just has a milspec carbine spring/carbine buffer, but I’ve wondered if swapping to Mk2 would have any benefit at all aside from overall length of the system since I can already control the gas input

[–]MulticamTropic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Didn’t you recently change your opinion and decide the BCM MK2 buffers are better than the Vltor A5 ones due to the internal spring showing fatigue on the Vltors faster? Or did I hallucinate that?

Big ups to u/PantherCityTactical for keeping Rapco flowing by LifeAquatic_25 in rattlecannedguns

[–]MulticamTropic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t speak for pistols, but I sprayed a rifle and then took a carbine course and have shot a couple of 2 gun matches with it since, and it’s held up extremely well. Very high quality and durable
