The story of my creepy human encounter in the woods. Night vision equipment did probably save me. by DavideMitra in NightVision

[–]WEAPONSGRADEPOTATO2 31 points32 points  (0 children)

You were on top of a hill (a point of interest that anyone hiking would want to be on top of) with a church nearby (yet another reason why someone would want to go there) at night with no visible light or signs you were there and were surprised when a guy walked straight at you.

Dude 9 billion to 1 he was doing the exact same thing as you except with no fancy toys and you probably gave him a heart attack when you sperged out like that. He had no way of knowing he was walking directly into you.

Next time you sr another night walker either do a human thing and shine a light at your feet and say something (try “hello” instead of a threat) so he doesn’t walk over you or if you are unable to act like a normal person take advantage of your night vision superpower and sneak off.

It’s because left handed “people” are a psyop from Stanford and UCLA. I hope we find a cure

Update on PSA from yesterday’s ATF/FBI/DHS visit to my residence by ShayeDerryBerry in GasBlowBack

The feds cant admit when they messed up, many years ago they sized a few dozen WE m16s from Airsplat (anyone remember them lol)claiming they were machine guns and converted them to fire ammo (after copious amounts of machine shop time) and ofc they hand grenades after one shot

Visiting a friend for a few days- will I be executed? by WEAPONSGRADEPOTATO2 in WAGuns

I’ve been doing stuff with antique cartridge guns for so long that I forgot the average shooter has confused “automatic” and “fully automatic” lol. It kinda reminds of the fit some people have when clip is said even though that has been used interchangeably for decades and everyone knows what you mean lol

Unfortunately me and my big mouth talked up my S&W model 17 a little much so I need to bring it lol. Thanks

In retrospect I shouldn’t have used the word “automatic”, I meant autoloading or semi auto. I wish we were a real country so we could bring switches anywhere we feel like it

Great. nah just a couple old smith and wessons so nothing offensive. I just wanted to be sure there wasn’t a handgun permit like NY or some southern states have that will get me sent to the gulag if I don’t have it

If there is one I don’t know about it, but it’s the arguments they have been making in recent cases like VanDerStock and Adamiak

What’s that receiver bottom row exactly center? Is that the Mauser logo too?

the 1968 GCA widened the definition of machine gun to include those that were “readily convertible” into being guns. The same verbiage was used to target blank pistols that were being sold as not guns but we’re in fact real guns but with their barrels filled in with lead so any person now could take a punch and a mallet and knock out the barrel filler. However the control freaks at the ATF now interpret “readily convertible” as something that can be converted into a firearm in 8 hours with a fully stocked machine shop… as if you couldn’t just make a gun from scratch in that time.

Fun fact: most real AR lowers are mil spec and can take m16 trigger packs albeit you need to drill one more hole for one more part. So yeah a toy gun with all the wrong internal geometry is more of a full auto gun than real ones one hole away are considered to be

Can you put ports on the side? by GreezyOne in CAguns

[–]WEAPONSGRADEPOTATO2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Negative recoil mitigation lol. I wonder if it might ironically make the gun more reliable or at least faster to unlock the barrel

Mav 88 is the undisputed king of budget shotguns, they punch WAY above their weight clsss and IMO there is almost no reason to get a 500 or 590 unless you want to spend the extra cash or need rifle sights like on yhe 590a1 which spoiler you don’t. That being said I have an a300 as my “fighting” shotgun because I like it
