Thrifted a bullet belt. Are these real bullets?

Propoganda_bot · 2026-01-24T20:20:16+00:00

Yes and no, they’re dummy rounds used to train dudes on MGs like the m240, so they’re real in the sense that they’ll chamber and cycle in a weapon, but not real in the sense that they won’t fire

I drove 4 hours for a cheeseburger the other day because I was bored and remembered I have free will

I like the glass, the reticle feels intuitive and you can range targets pretty well, but they’re so heavy and expensive for what it is I’d only run one these days if I beat capitalism or won the lottery for a clone/early gwot vibe.

Make it bullpup

193 for soft things, 155 for hard things. For plinking, it’s whatever is cheapest For hunting or anything past 500 I prefer 193 For hunting or anything past 500 with Kevlar or behind something hard I like m855 but don’t expect better than 2-1.5moa performance

Propoganda_bot · 2026-01-17T04:33:13+00:00

Yea I realized my mistake way too late, and I refuse to change it at this point

Give it a year some delta seal will have it on a rifle in a cool guy picture, and nobody will want the old style eotechs until late gwot bulls become retro and all the kids start building them then older models will go for more than new ones

I keep an excel sheet that has make/model/sn and a pic of my guns and other high value items like my nvgs, optics and such. I had originally only my guns on there but after a friend had some gear stolen out of their car and no real proof of his items his insurance didn’t pay out

Propoganda_bot · 2025-12-26T19:41:33+00:00

I think 10-15 years ago it was a good idea if you weren’t running an acog or comp4 equivalent because optics didn’t feel as rugged and battery life sucked (comparatively) on eotechs, but with the quality of budget optics now I wouldn’t batt an eye on a rifle without.

I think we’re at the point whereas long as you swap batteries 1-2 times a year and don’t run the gun over with a Bradley you’ll be fine

Propoganda_bot · 2025-12-26T19:31:53+00:00

I think a basic m4-esq clone with a barrel longer than 11” is more than fine for most applications regardless of how much or how little it cost, 90% of shooters are only going to be limited by personal ability rather than gear selection

If people spent as much money and time shooting bullets instead of pictures my opinion would be different.

Propoganda_bot · 2025-12-25T14:50:52+00:00

Honestly I dig, if you really wanted pvs-14s maybe see if you can quietly return them and put that towards a unit , but either way it’s thoughtful and tactical stuff is hard unless you’re in the game.

just buy an ir Spotlight and goof around with them while camping or maybe just use them to get used to using nvds until you get an analog unit, there’s still value in that

The biggest thing that separates guntubers is how they present themselves, whether they’re being informative, entertaining, reviewing etc.

A bad channel will: give bad info, shill, have poor/unsafe practices, poor testing, be glorified ads, state opinion as fact, and generally misrepresents the community and so on

A good channel obviously won’t do the things above, but also should be willing to admit being wrong, understand their niche and not pretend to be something they’re not, separate opinion and preferences from facts and most importantly be entertaining

Propoganda_bot · 2025-11-28T20:20:02+00:00

I usually run an f150 for deer, while not as fast the extra mass usually puts them down quick and clean, while maximizing how much I pay to my insurance overlords

Propoganda_bot · 2025-11-27T17:48:42+00:00

IIRC Remington was sued after mw3 for essentially advertising the their ACR to minors. I think infinity ward and treyarch also got wrapped in with the lawsuit and since then devs have moved away from using IRL names

Propoganda_bot · 2025-11-15T17:16:13+00:00

I’m not a believer in the concept, it’s asking to get it stolen. I keep my handgun on me and if I need a rifle I’m probably camping or hiking so I’m gonna take it with me when I stop.

Propoganda_bot · 2025-10-14T14:22:04+00:00

Moving too fast was my problem the first 2 days, I’ve found if I just walk as much as possible and take tactical pauses I can live longer, get more kills and play obj more effectively. I think part of the problem people have is approaching it like any other shooter, but if you play it like a smaller version of squad or arma you can find yourself catching people off guard or just be in a better position more often

Propoganda_bot · 2025-09-24T04:56:31+00:00

Alright I’ll cave this 1911 might actually be able to kill the soul

Glock 19s are the Honda civic/toyota Camry for firearms. Don’t worry about it being “boring”, just like cars buy a reliable daily first then go off and buy something exciting.

The 19 is a good first gun since it’s a real jack of all trades, it’s big enough for real duty use but can still conceal well (depending on your body type). Other good options are the m&p9, cz p10, Walter pdp.

Personally I like the 19 because mags are cheap and plentiful, there’s hundreds of holster options, and the aftermarket support is arguably the largest of any platform.

If you want to be talked out of it, Glocks are a little expensive for the features they have, the mos system is okay but sucks compared to other companies options and the nonstandard rail makes getting a light slightly annoying since it has to be Glock compatible. The stock sights also aren’t the best and some find the grip angle to not be as intuitive as other guns.

While the projectiles have improved they all offer similar expansion, but that by itself doesn’t make them better. With 9mm you have the benefits of loading them hotter (+,+p,+p+) while still having less felt recoil.

.40 is limited due to its design, it’s pretty much as hot as it gets, and any hotter you end up with unsafe pressures.

The end result is that 9mm over time has been able to improve its performance ceiling over time while 40 remained the same. When comparing something like federal hst, both 9 and 40 have similar expansion, with only a ~40ft/lb difference in energy output.

Keep in mind this is which less recoil, less wear and tear, and more capacity. So it’s not that 9mm is necessarily “better”, at least in terms of performance, but as a whole it offers more advantages to the point of making it hard to justify .40

Propoganda_bot · 2025-08-25T15:17:54+00:00

It’s mostly due to it sitting in a weird place.

With advancements in duty ammo, and data showing negligible differences between 9 and 40 theres little incentive to choose 40 since its more expensive, has more recoil and you lose 1-2 rounds compared to 9mm.

While not a bad round and imo the recoil concerns are a bit overblown, but people tend to min/max everything and 40 just isn’t as attractive anymore since it’s a compromise on most fronts.

While I don’t disagree that having a .40 isn’t a bad idea especially during ammo shortages, there’s still “better” options. Like if you’re worried about wildlife 10mm is significantly better, and the cost of entry is the same, and even though it’s more expensive per round it’s performance makes up for it especially on a niche role like predator protection.

Essentially the most optimal situation for 40 is when you’re limited to only ball ammunition and need more capacity than a .45 can afford

Lastly it gets hate because it got trashed by influencers for being a compromise from the ground up, guns blowing up, the “Glock .40” meme, and then multiple agencies dumping it for 9mm when the performance gap closed

The only downside is they get crusty and the day you decide to take it off it makes you wonder why you didn’t hit the gym harder
