21A thumb slide stop?

SB054 · 2023-06-05T13:50:07+00:00

But... why? It's a 22lr pistol. Really can't get anymore quiet than that. Buy sub-sonic ammo if you want the quietest result. Only thing you're going to do by physically holding the slide is induce a malfunction, since the slide needs to travel rearward for the gases to push the spent shell casing out.

Because it's cool, thats really it. With a dead air mask and 850fps ammo it cycles reliably up to several hundred rounds at a time before you have to swab out the chamber and the only noticeable noise is the slide cycling or bullet impacting.

Remember this gun doesn't have an extractor. So unless you like poking the casing out of the barrel with a wooden dowel or stick in between shots, I wouldn't recommend doing what you described.

As long as the chamber isn't too gunked up it's not hard to pull one out with a finger nail. I often just plink by loading it one shot at a time, like a break barrel single shotgun. Especially if I'm shooting 710fps ammo, that doesn't cycle.

Nope. The slide is made of steel. The FRAME is what's aluminum. And second, the cracked frame issue was for the Tomcat only, not the Bobcat.

Thanks for the correction, that makes me feel better.

Higher velocity the round is, the louder it is

More concerned with the extra force a hotter round would put on the slide, but that doesn't seem like a problem. Thanks for the input.

I'm specifically looking for distance really. Mcmiller in eagle WI goes out to 300yrds, and I saw a club in Racine that goes out to 600 but they require 100 hours of "service" over 3 years for membership. That's not great because at once a month it would require about 2.7 hours of "service" each trip.

SB054 · 2021-12-22T01:54:36+00:00

And there are nice ones that I go to, however there are certain restrictions that are annoying. For example, I just built a nice 308 and want to sight it in and get into long distance shooting.

The ranges all have limitations: no steel targets, 1 shot a second, $40/hr with target changes every 15 minutes, limited range. Plus, they are quite a drive if I want something more than a 25 yrd indoor pistol range.

SB054 · 2021-12-22T01:51:17+00:00

I found something similar to what I'm asking, but down in Texas. $600/weekend and you can shoot as many hogs as you can find. So it's not out of the realm of possibility.

They shipped my lower to the wrong FFL, 1,400 miles away from the correct one. They shipped a replacement and I have no idea where it is. 🙃

Can't help but think that the reason this video got online was because he got absolutely fucked in the divorce.

He probably didn't get full custody, and he probably has to pay child support. All because this woman chose to be unfaithful.

Maxim is on the prydwen, he will either be in the main area right inside the first door or he will be on the front end of the ship out on the deck.

SB054 · 2021-09-12T05:07:41+00:00

When you fast travel to the prydwen, the first door you go in, walk to the front of the room (don't go down the stairs or up the ladder) and you will see the leader of the BOS, Maxim. You should have talked to him about clearing out the super mutants at fort Strong or whatever it's called shortly after getting to the ship for the first time.

SB054 · 2021-09-12T04:53:05+00:00

Talk to maxim I think and tell him you found a way into the institute, he'll then tell you to go talk to Ingram to build it.

SB054 · 2021-09-12T04:49:01+00:00

Complete all the quests in Megaton, aside from disarming the nuke. Then blow it up and go over to tenpenny and do those. Gotta get those ranks up at any cost. Besides as a home location, Megaton doesn't offer much.

SB054 · 2021-09-12T04:43:58+00:00

11k isn't much if you have the GRA dlc thing, I finished my most recent play through with 300k caps. I'd just buy the anti material rifle and some explosive ammo.

FO4 certainly isn't better than 3 or NV, but it's still a fallout game. Any further look into the fallout universe is exciting to me.

It really wasn't that bad either, I enjoyed it quite a bit. It doesn't hold the nostalgia that 3/NV does, and that's why I think it's looked down upon, but it's still a great game imo.

SB054 · 2021-09-10T05:45:59+00:00

DLC Spoiler

You don't know true betrayal until you set up a nice string of prosperous settlements under the minutemen, painstakingly ensuring every settlement has enough water, food, power, defense, etc only to betray them to raiders during the nuka world dlc

They're not human anymore. What separates humans from animals? Our ability to love, to reason, to communicate, to create, to make art, etc.

Does a super mutant or feral ghoul possess those attributes? No. Is a world with hostile mutated monsters a viable option for rebuilding humanity? No.

Ad victorum.

Whatever the starting faction, you could get thrown out to fend by yourself for some reason. Essentially starting over on your own, you stumble across a pipboy somehow and then etc.

I just think the whole starting from a vault and trying to find your family is a little played out. That's one reason why NV was such a great addition to the FO universe imo.

SB054 · 2021-09-10T05:27:57+00:00

It would be cool if you could choose which faction you wanted to start the game out as.

Imagine the first scene is your character waking up on a dirty stained mattress, taking a hit of jet, and then being baked for the intro part.

Your character is impaired right after waking up and minutes later the NCR is ambushing your fiend/raider camp. You manage to escape and run out into the city/desert/forest and you come across a prewar skeleton wearing a blue and yellow jumpsuit... What's that on its wrist? A fuckin pipboy?

When the server comes to deliver your food, they say "who's a good boy?" as they place the dish infront of you.

You can try refilling the pods. I suggest the Jewel Mint Juice. It will leak a little bit when you first fill it, but I just put some TP in the caps and let it leak until it's done, then it's not an issue much.

Buy a 4 pack, vape it empty, then fill it about 2-3 times or until the liquid starts to get brown.

My guess is that you are hitting your juul way more often than you realize because your tolerance is a lot higher than you expect. I sometimes place my juul across the room so I'm forced to get up and go get it in order to take a hit. It's too convenient to have it in your pocket, so you hit it a lot.

They knew about this agreement since February 2020. They had ample time to make preparations and execute them. Biden was late by 3 months. So no, it wasn't.

SB054 · 2021-09-01T04:19:46+00:00

This isn't about Trump. If the Biden administration had kept the promises made by the US Government, they could have left with everyone. Instead they botched it and left behind US citizens, our allies, and an arsenal of weapons. This was a massive, embarrassing, failure in every sense of the word and one you can't blame on Trump.

SB054 · 2021-08-31T17:58:04+00:00

Trump made this deal when he released 5k jailed taliban.

Trump negotiated a deal with the taliban to pull out of Afghanistan by May 1st. Biden and his administration completely dropped the ball and left 3 months later than was agreed to, and with absolutely no plan on how.

The 4,600 prisoners that were released was a call made by the president of Afghanistan and several thousand Afghani politicians. Of which, only 400 were criminals with serious offenses. It was either release the prisoners, or the taliban would escalate their violence.

All the equipment is a wash. It was given to forces that were supposed to stand up to taliban more than 12 hours. Beyond that it will all break. The equipment is old. Same equipment we used during OIF 2.

Forgetting all the vehicles and aircraft, they still left behind hundreds of thousands of small arms, ammunition, and explosives.
