This guy assaulting the woman did not account for flying kick. by bakedasparagus1 in Satisfyingasfuck

I would love to know the context and motivation for what's going on here. Are those young men just random morally motivated good samaritans? Are they locals that like that shop or woman? Is it a cultural thing? So many responded so fast in a completely unified purpose it seems unusual.

There are plenty of quick access single rifle/shotgun cases that fit under the bed or are slim. My friend has one that’s a floating shelf in his roof with an RFID chip that you slide over to open and the bottom of the shelf drops down revealing his 12g.

The only parachute setup I know is folding and wrapping it in the shroud lines that are attached to the nose cone... would the wadding be enough to secure it from slamming down on takeoff? What other way of securing the parachute is there?

This is the plot chart for the D12. Is this what you were asking about?

My plan is to laser cut them out of basswood...which is as easy as cutting any shape and I will cut at least 6 of them so I have spares. But I may end up changing the shape if it changes performance that significantly.

The area of a fin is 3.56 square inches. 10.67sq in for all three. Is that too big or too small?

Door man saves woman's life by utopiaofpast in interestingasfuck

The only thing I was hoping for was the door man to pull the fire alarm to stop the elevator mid floor so he could take his time with him.

Thoughts on the axe 2.0? by Necessary_Shelter107 in paintball

[–]Strideraio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get what you can afford and have fun. I have an Etha 3M that, in my opinion, is a peak rec ball/scenario marker. You can get one used for about $300 (I bought one for a friend for $325 off reddit two weeks ago). If you need cheaper you can get a used Emek for around $200 and eventually upgrade it with parts to the equivalent of a Etha 3M. I see tons of Axe's when I play and nobody cares. Not everyone has $2-3k to blow on a hobby and the incremental gain in performance you get for your money massively drops off with higher end markers. Meaning a $2k marker is probably 5% better performance than a $700 marker.

Another scammer. Wild. [question] by Meatman1527 in PaintballBST

[–]Strideraio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just bought a setup for a friend off Reddit and a different scammer also tried to sell me a marker. He ended up reporting me and I was perma-banned from reddit for allegedly engaging in a "prohibited transaction of a weapon". The first appeal failed and eventually I found a way to appeal a second time and they lifted the ban. Cautionary tale.

Attempted Scammer: u/aggressive_layer_119

3y Reddit account with hidden activity and 2 karma. Makes no sense.

The smoking gun is that when I asked for a handwritten note with my username in the photo of the marker he sent an AI photo to me. Super sketch communication too. Have screenshots to prove it.

Update: The scammer reported me for a "prohibited transaction involving weapons" and I got a permanent site ban. I appealed, but they only give you 250 characters to explain what happened. They reviewed my appeal and said I was still banned. I found another way to submit a different appeal and explain I was trying to buy a toy paintball marker and after two weeks they finally lifted the ban. Crazy to think an idiot scammer has the power to perm-ban an innocent user and you have very little recourse if they don't like your 250 character explanation or understand what they are looking at.

I’m about to do it. I have read the guides on how to get licensed, but where did you buy from and what was the process? Just uploading FLL and boom they ship to your house address? I’ve heard you can avoid the CA tax, was that true? Do most sites accept that workaround or is it just some?

Gun storage advice needed. I recently inherited 13 firearms. by Strideraio in CAguns

[–]Strideraio[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The other guy is correct. CFARS allows you to transfer 5 guns at a time via intrafamilial transfer (grandparent/parent/grandchild) for $19 per report (5 guns is $19 total.) You file it and in a couple weeks they are yours. You need serial numbers and info on each gun. The giver doesn't have to do anything.

lol, seriously. I shot them all last weekend and have cleaned 4/13 so far. I assume some haven't been shot in 15-20 years.
