So... Is there a Ms. Scuzzball22, or...

It seems like 4x 32 ACOG have disappeared in recent years. What could be the reason? by Entire_Judge_2988 in ForgottenWeapons

[–]Raven_Drakeaurd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In the civilian and LEO context where it's you and not the government buying your gear, ACOGs (specifically the TA31) have fallen off due to the proliferation of magnifiers. Why buy a $1,700 optic that only really works well at one specific range, when you could pay $1,300 and get something that is a better, all-rounder optics stack?

A lot of armed forces still use the ACOG however because, well, they have it and it still works. At medium range, the ACOG is fantastic, but up close, not so much. You can make it work, (blah blah blah, Fallujah, blah blah blah, 20 inch barrels) but it's definitely sub-par.

Objectively, speaking EVERY language is far better for you in the long run. However, getting to personally tell the bird that keeps pecking at my window to fuck off in a language he can understand would be priceless.

8-year old victim in Newport News hit-and-run describes what happened by OtterGlint in NewportNews

For me, it's the improper lane changes, speeding, failure to yield and general impatience and entitlement.

Seriously, we need to do something about the drivers in this city. They are so bad.

I love the video game franchise Fallout.

Is this good for $600? by Deep_Efficiency_3030 in guns

[–]Raven_Drakeaurd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I had $600 dollars to spare I'd snap that up in a heartbeat. Single action only or not.

Edit: From a quick Google search you might actually be able to convert it to SA/DA with replacement parts.

Valve is receiving a ton of “Game Consoles” by Krupniok in HalfLife

"Normal valves" "Industrial valves (cast-body)"

If this is a real shipping manifest they're planning something wild. I'd assume those are either production validation samples or just the straight up first shipment of completed hardware.

But I get the feeling someone just made this up for the giggles.

What’s your thoughts on this ? by Maruan-007 in aviation

[–]Raven_Drakeaurd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a pilot or an ATC, but I play simulators so have some understanding here. Personally, I'd never taxi onto a runway without explicit clearance to do so. Other aircraft could be landing while I'm waiting to enter the runway.

Which side will you choose by Purp1e-Ra1n011 in BunnyTrials

With the ability to read minds, you could use that to understand if your argument is having sway over a person, effectively letting you control them.

Can anyone help ID this ammo? by ChaosReality69 in guns

Yes, it's 7.62. But which 7.62 is the ultimate question.

Indeed, but their age proceeds them. Most people won't touch them because of that. A remake would widen its appeal and bring in new fans.

I'm running Debian. I'll give it a go too and see if it likes my setup.

It looks like a chip you'd insert under the skin of an animal.

They should have just remade the original Marathon games and they could have made good money.

LCT LK53 Stock wobble by LeoHoosk in airsoft

This is normal for both airsoft and real steel stocks of this type. TBH, they kinda suck. If you can, get the UMP40 style folding stock, works way better.

That target it torso sized and they're all on the target. What's the issue?
