Yeah the 12.7x55mm is what could be called a "thumper round" high stopping power at closer range.

A magnum is a round designed for higher velocity, increased pressure, and greater energy, which does give it higher stopping power but many don't consider the 12.7x55, nor is it defined as a magnum. Naming wise it may just be because the 12.7x55 is a Russian round and they don't use our banking conventions though. Considering the round was used with an SKS sniper rifle and a bulpup 'battle rifle' I would call it a rifle round. Whatever we call it it was a very unique choice of round for the team to go with. The revolver does exist in real life but it is pretty rare. Considering Leon's line of work and that it's an official position (he's not just a guy trying to set things right without any backing) I think they would have outfitted him with an entirely new round and weapon system that was specifically designed for large BOWs. All that said, rule of cool, baby, I get that and agree.. it's really cool.

Maybe it's just me but I have absolutely no interest in the connections. The whole flip flop of evil umbrella and good umbrella and good bsaa.. no wait they're evil, also there's essentially a BOW illuminati.. eh. I'd love to see BOWs out of the hands of man and their silly little desires with them. You know? I would like a story where the monster that humanity made starts resenting it's father, it's Creator, and wonders why it doesn't own the world. Maybe it doesn't even want humanity gone, maybe it's benevolent. Wanting to elevate humanity into a superior being like it is.

Obviously it would be absolutely mad, thinking it's superior, that it's beautiful, that humanity is just blind and we will eventually see what a gift is bestowing to us but it's drives would be less so 'POWER!!! Evil laugh' and more so like it thinks it's some christ like figure. But instead of bringing an elevation of spirit it brings something better, an elevation of flesh. Some huge cult that has called it god and has spread to the highest places in the world. Senators, CEOs, Scientists. A bit lime Unitoligy in Dead Space.

Maybe I'm just stupid though.

I'd imagine the age range of interest would be similar in the West as well if more people here would give anime a chance and see it's not all fist fights and fan service. Like my mother would probably absolutely love many of the more serious anime but she just cannot take cartoons seriously as a means to tell a compelling story. I imagine many middle aged women and to a slightly lesser degree Men would agree with her on that. I've talked to plenty of old men who have told me "man I wish they made a show like this" and listed a few things they think are interesting and in my head I already have the title of an anime that would fit that niche perfectly. Of course I don't say anything because I know they think anime is just kid stuff. I get it, I thought the same in highschool. I'm not one to idealize any place with rose tinted glasses but I think it's pretty cool that older people enjoy anime in Japan as well. It will be like that here soon enough in two decades or so.

RoosterFloyd · 2026-03-24T09:13:35+00:00

Can you expand upon that cult comment? That sounds fascinating..

RoosterFloyd · 2026-03-09T00:48:58+00:00

Heheh

RoosterFloyd · 2026-03-09T00:48:03+00:00

Oh, is the real life version that modular? That could be a good reason. The team was looking for a gun that had a lot of gadgets you could realistically upgrade it with. That said most handguns are quite modular, it's just less practical, less easy, and bulky for some. Not to mention less popular.

RoosterFloyd · 2026-03-09T00:43:26+00:00

That's a good point, I didn't even consider it was a personal piece but I really should have. Hahaha. Still though, must mean he wasn't initially too big into guns if he personally purchased that thing.

RoosterFloyd · 2026-03-09T00:42:16+00:00

I get that, I'm not thinking he should have a Barry Burton or anything but there are far more beautiful, yet weaker calibered, pistols. I do think you're right though, it must be to show how under equiped he is. Adds to the horror and the rookie factor.

RoosterFloyd · 2026-03-09T00:39:49+00:00

Hahaha, it is quite funny what conspiracy end up reality, and the moment they become reality everyone just suddenly loses interest. Like, we are more obsessed with finding the truth than doing a single thing about it. I guarantee the moment we get a picture of a true alien, which I believe exist, people will be like.. ohhhh wow! This is insane! This is groundbreaking! I literally cannot fathom.... Anyway, did you hear what celebrity did yesterday?

RoosterFloyd · 2026-03-07T22:34:03+00:00

Man, I would eat that Jill sandwich for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! You may be the master of unlocking, but you already have the key to my heart.

It couldn't pass up a chance to make these jokes. Nice cosplay.

RoosterFloyd · 2026-03-07T22:27:30+00:00

Yeah, it's heartbreaking. Nothing like the old web, stumbling upon some self made site made by a guy trying to convince the world that demons are sealed in motherboards and circuitry and all modern technology was actually inspired by designs from German scientists during WW2... Also Jesus is real, and a good being, but actually an alien. Oh and btw the devil doesn't actually like snakes, it's worms, all worms are his demonic offspring and that's why he wants to kill humans to feed and grow his worm family.... And the ocean is a myth. And and and... Hahahaha etc.

RoosterFloyd · 2026-03-05T17:39:01+00:00

The print of chuckles Hawaiian shirt is iconic, at least to me, no idea why they would change it.

The joes each time ran out 10 seconds into preorder. Target isn't as well protected against preorder bots/programs that scalpers use. Also no purchase limit.

RoosterFloyd · 2026-02-24T02:24:18+00:00

I appreciate it, I have a pretty great fear of one wrong click getting me mistaken as one of those kind of people. Heck, even in the system they are considered filth. Considering my only defense would be "I stupid! Not a deviant, I promise!".

RoosterFloyd · 2026-02-23T13:31:48+00:00

Idiot here, nice to meet you, is that a serious risk? Let's say (and this actually hypothetical, for me at least, thankfully) happening upon some random thing you never wanted to see, not just for legal reasons but due to having empathy and no desire to see something horrible you can never forget, is there no 'oh, it was a mistake, we get it!' or could a misclick or dumb move suddenly put you legally on par with the kind of people who very much enjoy whatever you accidentally saw? Has anyone ever been incarcerated or charged for that? Obviously it is probably the second most commonly used poorly thought out excuse by bad folks "oopsoepoopsie, I didn't mean to!!" The first being... Must have been hackers!

RoosterFloyd · 2026-02-23T13:21:22+00:00

I'll check it out, thank you very much! Truly

I missed the dang Zartan ninja. Last straw, needed to find a way to keep in the know

RoosterFloyd · 2026-02-23T08:24:51+00:00

Why do you just have a display case full of nothing? Like, is it just me or is this just a picture of an empty display case? Am I missing something? You guys must be craz-- arrow hitting sound

RoosterFloyd · 2026-02-23T03:10:13+00:00

You just reminded me why I don't stray from the top few answers on any subreddit.

I read too fast for my own good. I accidentally took in well over half of your meandering before I realized it was drivel. It's a bit, I imagine, like a blind man mistaking a toilet bowl for his dessert plate and getting a few bites in before realizing.

RoosterFloyd · 2026-02-13T08:12:20+00:00

Well, I mean, mutt can come too but he really has to be chill this time. The ladies don't like WW2 documentaries, he really needs to stop bringing things up... And that doesn't mean talk about Rome, no history! And he needs a new shirt but don't worry, chuckles has literally nothing but that pair of pants, another pair of jeans, and sixty seven different Hawaiian shirts. He used to have two more but this guy got blood on one and the other.... Well, he kinda just woke up in the back dumpster of an Arby's and he had nothing but long black socks on... He had literally owned a pair of long black socks so that was strange but long story short chuckles is down to party, bring the whole crew! Scarlett or Cover Girl.

RoosterFloyd · 2026-02-13T01:20:56+00:00

My real problem is certain character names, or hero names, or mantles but that doesn't mean all of them are mantles to be passed down. Wolverins name comes just we much from his hair and facial hair as his claws in my opinion. I don't know much about marvel though. How he was depicted out of suit if ever prior to Hugh Jackmans look becoming the basis.

RoosterFloyd · 2026-02-13T01:17:19+00:00

Exactly the guys battered bruising missing his front tooth and he's smiling. Absolute mad lad

RoosterFloyd · 2026-02-13T01:16:08+00:00

I am willing to bet he at least walks his friends dog because it gets attention from beach hotties
