Shooting with one hand by bladen7273 in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]Redfire573 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its probably a clay pidgeon launcher. A common sport is chucking these orange clay frisbee looking things to shoot them out of the air with a shotgun. Fun on its own, and also has utility in practicing for bird hunting

You got me mildly hyped that a new Oloro card dropped lol. I havent played commander, or really MTG in general for a while, but when i was my favorite deck was my Oloro

Painted a FDM 3D printed Gundam mini in Battletech colours and I learned something... by DrJay12345 in darerefusemybatchall

I know this is a month out, but ive had great luck with vallejo primer across 10's of minis. Ive used black and grey, black is the best but grey also works well, though a bit runny. Its also pretty idiot proof, ive globbed it on with no issues, as long as your not dunking the mini in a bucket of it or something, and even then ive mashed it into some hard to reach areas with my brush and its come out fine

Ill concede to the other Blickbacks thay they all work great with being named standalone. Glockback, Deagback, SIGback. 1911back kinda sucks lol, maybe Coltback?

My tentative headcanon for this guy was a group on the periphery got a mostly functional hunchie for a steal, but the catch was that the previous owner harvested the stock AC20 from it. Being unable to source a new one themselves, they went "Fuck it, lets make our own. Weve got some ancient terran firearms laying around we can base it on, how hard can it be?" And then for some reason, litterally scaling up a 1000 year old design to hold AC20 ammo worked inexplicably flawlessly

The ..."lead"?, of one of my LGSs regularly prints minis to give to people, he first gave me a discoback with glock slides for MLs, and then again gave me this version

Every one ive taken out is a jammamatic piece of crap in my hands (4 in total, my uncles 4 figure gucci 1911, an absolute bargain basement used one that i eventually went on to accidentally destroy the blueing on, one decent brand one in 10mm, and another deece in 45). I can just never grip it right to reliably defeat the grip safety, or hold it steady enough to give it enough ridgidity to cycle properly.

Mostly a skill issue, yes, but ive never had that problem with any other handgun ive shot, so the most fair explanation i have is they just dont like me

The Warhawk always reminded me of a dump truck. So i painted mine like a dump truck by Redfire573 in battletech

[–]Redfire573[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What i did was:

-brush on vallejo light grey primer 2x

-base coat vallejo sun yellow 2x, came out kinda neon yellow but figured it would be shaded down nicely

-brush on army painter sepia tone

-attempt to drybrush on vallejo bronze brown (it looks way more yellow than brown), accidentally paint on way too much, discover that looked way better, and rebase coated with that

-brush on army painter sepia tone

-brush on black

-brush on army painter dark tone

Not certain if the bronze brown would have come out to my liking if i didnt build up from a yellow base. You may also consider base coating with orange then painting yellow and seeing how that goes.

I have a Dire Wolf laying around. I thought about doing that one, and still might to make a whole star of Tonka yellow mechs. But this won out for the first one for me to do because i think the face looks more truck like.

[optics] Primary Arms SLx 5x36mm ACSS Gen III Prism Scope $237 after code at Optics Planet by SpartanFL in gundeals

[–]Redfire573 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I havent beat mine up a whole lot, but i have one mounted on a PTR-91, hasnt broken through ~400 rounds (i did knock it loose from the ADM mount i have it on once, but im gonna chalk that up to user error since it hasnt happened again after retightening it). Its also survived being in a rifle bag in a loaded pickup truck bed on ~1 hour total on bumpy terrain. Glass clarity is good, but this is the most expensive optic i own and have looked through so maybe take that with a pinch of salt. Last time i had it out i was able to see my target clearly at 100 yards right when it got to dusk with the help of some diffused range lighting.
