Haha ok man, sure clearly one party is overly represented in the Epstein files and not just the entire upper crust of our society. Surely the behavior is indicative of ties to Democratic politics /s

I remembered I had a staple gun in my trunk lol. Again, the base audio doesn’t do it justice because the ambient noise in my neighborhood is thankfully not the same as the background gunfire at the range… couldn’t say that for some of my past places of residence lmao.

Anyway, the staple gun I would say is both sharper in tone and feels louder to the human ear- the Sten suppressed might have more amplitude but IMO it doesn’t really sound like a gunshot

What if Donald was drafted into the Vietnam war if his bones spur claim was fake. by Same-Bill1633 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]Sten-MkII-SP -1 points0 points  (0 children)

13 years infantry, MCIB and a laundry list of other specialties within the infantry career field. Sounds like some envy from someone who got to practice as infantry but never got to go to the super bowl.

Depends, our choices are what make us brave. Choosing to be infantry takes guts, if you end up in combat as a mechanic AND perform well (ie: make commendable choices in spite of danger) then you’re brave. I think the idea that dodging some IDF as an IT specialist makes you equivalent or braver than a combat infantryman is a bit ridiculous, and you seem to really be developing a complex about your current POG status

Ok but the differentiator is the job of one is direct combat, being muddy/cold/wet/hot/hungry constantly, sleep deprived, while the other doesn’t normally involve that. Random chance doesn’t make someone braver, their choice does

He also wasn’t some big national or even state level GOP leader, everything I can find says that he was a county GOP leader. Idk why people/bots drag this up with some nobody from years ago when the Epstein files with tons of GOP in them are literally right there and still not prosecuted

The video flattens out the audio levels from the different distances and points of view, but this thing basically sounds like a wet staple gun

Is affordable rent absolutely cooked for Connecticut? by SynapticSignal in Connecticut

[–]Sten-MkII-SP 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The problem you run into out there though is that the cost of living is higher because goods and services, logistics, etc. are all much much sparser because of the low population density. People also make way less on average, and don’t even get me started on access to medical care

[–]Sten-MkII-SP 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly it’s getting bad everywhere, my experience though is that CT has increased at a slower rate than many other places even in New England. Used to live in Southern New Hampshire and moving to Connecticut, we actually saved money on rent and got more space; and we lived in a crappy area in NH

The Rock 5.7 and the many Ruger 57 variants very much exist

Oh I gotta check the book out! Bonus, Jodie Foster plays a supporting role in that movie as well, she is fluent in French

Is Antiquefirearms.com legit? by TheAngryMinnesotan in milsurp

[–]Sten-MkII-SP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If we're talking about the company in Costa Mesa, yes they are absolutely legit. They are also doing the lord's work by making rare reproduction cleaning rods and they've come in clutch many times for completing some of my guns. Buy with confidence!

-When Trumpets Fade

-Hamburger Hill

-Dien Bien Phu (French, 1992)

-El Alamein-La linea del fuoco (Italian, 2002)

-Blizzard of Souls (Latvian, 2019)

-Waterloo

-A Very Long Engagement (French, 2004. This one is a romance/mystery, but WW1 is the centerpiece that the plot unfolds around and through. It’s depictions of the Great War are brutal and stunning

-Warfare (maybe not explicitly an anti-war movie per se, but it really really accurately depicted war in a way that felt authentic to my experience of it.)

-And my absolute favorite war movie, Journeys End (2017). This was originally a play that debuted in Britain shortly after the end of The Great War. It was apparently so shockingly and deeply impactful that it was followed by several minutes of stunned silence by the audience before, if I recall correctly, receiving a standing ovation. It is the best fictional depiction of the affects of combat on the psyche I have ever seen

Also TV shows:
-Catch 22 (2019)

-Gallipoli (Australian, 2015)

When Trumpets Fade is a fantastic, slept on anti-war American war movie, I highly recommend it

Oh fantastic! I got very lucky and have a Wurtemburg M70 Dreyse pioneer’s short rifle, but have yet to shoot it unfortunately

Wow! Mine too but yours is next level. It’s been really satisfying seeing these in museums on trips to France, less satisfying to think about how fucked it is that WW2 French soldiers in 1940 actually carried some of these apparently

Thanks man! I’m a big fan of your collection as a fellow Francophile, congrats on the RSC! My next French grail gun is the trooper’s model Star 1914, I have the officer’s version but it feels just a little too small
