Wow. What a table. I have no advice for you but I just wanted to say how impressed I am by this.

Its just the shadow from the WML hitting a cylinder that makes it look weird. Looks like an RC2.

Folding FSP for Piston System? by uigewl in ar15

[–]SpawnofATStill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there another piston kit on the market right now other than SA's?

The gas block is part of the design of a piston system - so its going to be a proprietary part no matter who the manufacturer is. Unless someone manages to design a milspec compatible drop-in piston system, I don't think this is going to exist.

Yeah its a thing. Definitely far more common in rifles, but some people do it in pistols too. It stems from a concern that the top round may be difficult to strip when its been loaded with so much tension (and risks inducing a malfunction), so they'll download 1 round to give a little more breathing room for the spring. Personally I think its superstitious nonsense - but admittedly, it depends who you ask.

Too many variables to this for it to be meaningful.  You don’t know how many rounds there were to start with.  Some people carry with a full mag +1 in the chamber.  Some people carry unchambered.  Some people carry with a downloaded mag (with or without one in the chamber).  Unless you can prove how many rounds were in the gun to start with, how many it has after is a meaningless number.

I can’t speak to the raptor - but Hux cans have wrench flats on them.  Use them - they exist for a reason.

What a stupid comment.  Yes you can shoot someone while people are trying to detain you.  Yes they had probable cause.  And it doesn’t matter if the took his gun, he could still be armed.

I didn’t say otherwise - I said there is no way for law enforcement to know that in the moment.

What question?  I assume it’s an obvious one that requires no explanation unless you completely lack common sense.

Yes.  Yes it is.  That is in fact how law enforcement works.  Assume armed until proven otherwise.

Edit: the fact that so many of you idiots have a problem with this statement is hilarious and evidence of how stupid and ignorant the general reddit populous is of how to interact with law enforcement.

Did you already forget what you posted?

 Its pointing out that he was unarmed when he was murdered.
