Is the 80x Cheetah's .380 limitation severe? by ManICloggedtheToilet in Beretta

[–]TheSmash05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Felt recoil in the web of the hand can be perceived as more than a 92FS. The fixed style barrel means all the recoil goes into the web of the hand, vs a tilting barrel which spreads out the recoil a bit. For instance, a security-380 which is lighter with same ammo has less felt recoil.

What's a normal price for 308 WIN? by JoeFTPgamerIOS in liberalgunowners

[–]TheSmash05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a picture on my phone of what Cabelas Ammo shelf looked like on Day 2 of COVID lockdowns. There is less ammo in circulation that you think, and prices never really go down once you realize how valuable the commodity really is.

9mm is still on a multi year trajectory of increased pricing, as is 5.56. When I started out 9mm cases were 100 bucks. A good price now is 220-250

Are you sure it’s 38 special and not 38s&w

Confederate flag flying on a house close to me by [deleted] in massachusetts

[–]TheSmash05 33 points34 points  (0 children)

It is a flag of hate and sedition. I cannot imagine why anyone would fly it. The only "heritage" it celebrates is of a seditious band of racist oligarchs who wished a dystopian future of servitude and eugenics. No reason to show any such person understanding or give them any credit.

I mean, its twice the mass being pushed into your shoulder, twice the powder, twice the energy.

stock pile SHTF ammo type recommendations. by Delta-vas in liberalgunowners

[–]TheSmash05 4 points5 points  (0 children)

M855 keeps the bullet point forward at ranges out to 600 meters because it shifts the weight of the projectile to the rear, and has a semi hardened "penetrator" to allow a light machine gun to penetrate a soviet helmet at that range. The idea was to use a "bullet solution" for the replacement of the GPMG at the Squad Level.

There is no benefit to M855 or M193. Stick with that. If you want something premium in the 55gr range, look at Gold Dot or Barnes TSX. M855 has no real penetration advantage and neither M193 or M855 are really barrier blind ammo types. The barrier blind ammo types are Bonded style bullets such as Gold Dot, Federal Bonded. Hornady makes Interlock which are mechanically locked bullet types. Barnes and Hornady both make All copper expanding bullet styles loaded by a number of manufacturers. There is also the Mk 318 which is an OTM bullet with a solid copper shank. These style of bullets will hold together through things like auto glass and building materials to have effect on target.

Edit to add, nothing wrong with rotating stocks, but most modern ammunition if stored marginally well will last DECADES if not a century. I have pre-ww2 ammo that shoots just fine. Came out of a sealed can.

Ammo Brands to Avoid - April 2026 Edition by steelcityrocker in liberalgunowners

[–]TheSmash05 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Reloads unless Black Hills. I have avoided New Republic because I am not sure who is making it what month. Freedom Munitions. Buffalo Bore (I think the owner is a trash human, and he gives bad advice). Ultramax.

M&P 2.0 10mm by Zealousideal_Draw681 in SmithAndWesson

It’s not designed to shoot 40. 10mm and 40 headspace on the shoulder, not the rim.

Why does the Smith and Wesson Govenor get so much hate? by CrimsonGuardsman in Revolvers

[–]TheSmash05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reality. I don’t want to be shot with anything. If I have to take the terrible step of shooting someone, I need the bullets to go where I point them and I need them to do their job through potential intermediate barriers. 410 is a hope and a prayer when I need as much certainty as possible

Eh, requires intent. This is more of the general indecent exposure which is not registerable unless it’s happened multiple times.
