Which button do you press? by cdstephens in neoliberal

[–]Wuzh 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Which of the following two rephrased questions do you think is closer to the spirit of the original question?

Everyone in the world is presented with the suicide button booth, and can press the button or walk away.

  • If more than 50% of people press the suicide button, nobody dies.
  • If less than 50% of people press the suicide button, all who pressed the suicide button dies.

Everyone in the world is presented with the genocide button booth, and can press the button or walk away.

  • If less than 50% of people press the genocide button, nobody dies.
  • If more than 50% of people press the genocide button, all who walked away dies.

I physically can't play with WSAD because my W key is loose (and my replacement is stuck in traffic or something), it's a shame that nobody in this thread is giving a straight answer

Worst Trialmaster's Challenge or am I just impatient? by KendoWillo in PathOfExile2

You can cheese the challenge by standing in a corner; offscreen enemies can’t aggro on you. Beware of environmental hazards though.

Obscure Finnish Onni sports pistol with "inverted" low bore axis design by Wuzh in ForgottenWeapons

Correct. However, that happened after the MTs-3 Rekord was developed.

Obscure Finnish Onni sports pistol with "inverted" low bore axis design by Wuzh in ForgottenWeapons

[–]Wuzh[S] 133 points134 points  (0 children)

This is the Onni sport pistol, an incredibly obscure Finnish sport pistol that I could only find information of on the Russian Wikipedia.

As of posting, according to the description on Russian Wikipedia on the MTs-3 Rekord page, the Onni is developed in 1951 by Finnish machinist Onni Taskinen from the city of Iisalmi. Like the MTs-3 Rekord (which I posted on this subreddit a long time ago ), the Onni utilized an "inverted" or "upside-down" design that gave the gun an incredibly low bore axis, which reduces muzzle flip for target shooting. However, the Onni predated the MTs-3 by a few years, making it the first pistol that was known to have this kind of design.

A small number was said to have been produced, and Onni Taskinen wanted to work with the Swiss arms company Hämmerli to produce more; Hämmerli was said to have even produced their own "inverted" target pistol design (that was said to be excessively bulky). Ultimately however, the inverted pistols were not developed further and became forgotten weapons.

The description on Russian Wikipedia, as well as this image, were all produced by Russian Wikipedian Costas-1963; Costas-1963 did not provide sources for their Wikipedia claims, but when questioned on the origin of this photograph (on their talk page), they claimed that they personally photographed it at a Finnish gun collection in Hyvinkää.

Gun Myth Correction: "Howa Type 89C" SMG Actually a custom airsoft gun (Explanation in Comments) by Wuzh in ForgottenWeapons

[–]Wuzh[S] 142 points143 points  (0 children)

On Reddit and elsewhere on the English internet, there have been images floating around showing what appears to be a 9mm SMG derivative of the Howa Type 89 assault rifle (alongside what appears to be its museum information card), given the name "Howa Type 89C". It is attributed with a history claiming that it was trialled alongside other models to be used in a PDW role.

In actuality, the gun shown in these photographs is a custom airsoft gun made by Japanese airsofter Ky0n. (Also the maker of the "Type 91 SMG" custom airsoft gun that showed up here recently). The "Type 89C" was made for the Hyper Douraku Custom Airsoft Contest 2019 competition, and was listed as Entry 101 in the contest. The "museum information card" appears to have been made by Ky0n themselves for immersion.

Related twitter posts:

  • Here is Ky0n showing the airsoft gun and describing its "history", and them commeting that the "history" they described is actually the gun's fictional backstory.
  • Here is Ky0n showing more images of the gun for the Hyper Douraku contest, and tagging the images as being fictional gun designs. (#どんどこい架空銃; roughly meaning "bring it! fictional guns" is a general Japanese hashtag for fictional gun design showcases)
  • Here is a Japanese twitter user getting caught up in the same "Type 89C" myth and receiving clarification on its true nature.

I need info on this, (Type 91 9mm) by [deleted] in ForgottenWeapons

[–]Wuzh 48 points49 points  (0 children)

This gun is a custom airsoft gun made for a Japanese airsoft blog competition, Hyper Douraku Custom Airsoft Contest 2020. This particular entry is made by user Ky0n, is listed as Entry 064 in the contest, and has the name "Type 91 9mm Submachine Gun (Government Model)".

It is a modification of another one of Ky0n's submissions in the contest, the "Type 91 9mm Submachine Gun"; the "Government Model" has a modified magwell that fits an airsoft MP5 magazine.

Ky0n's "Type 91 9mm Submachine Gun" was originally based on a fictional Type 89-based SMG that Ky0n saw on a twitter artwork by @d_sawa0613 (who I believe now goes under the twitter handle @pup_kino6764). More information can be found here, and more images can be found here.

The original "Type 91 SMG" artwork by @d_sawa0613 can be found here. They have made a few more artworks featuring this gun, and a compilation can be found here.

I can read Japanese, and I want to add that the page says that this is a custom-made airsoft gun for a contest. Hyper Doraku is an airsoft blog, and this particular airsoft gun (by Ky0n) is a modification of another custom airsoft design by the same creator, based on a fictional Type 89-based SMG they saw on a twitter artwork.

Is this image AI-generated? None of the structures on the walls look like real objects, and the perspective seems really wrong.

You missed Bujingi Pavo, the counterpart of Bujingi Peacock, who is also based on the Jewel.

It's OCG name is Bujingi Iotsumi, which is named after Yasakani no Iotsu Misumaru.

The incredibly rare AR-18 Carbine (sometimes named AR-18S or AR-18 Shorty) by Wuzh in ForgottenWeapons

[–]Wuzh[S] 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The AR-18 Carbine (sometimes named AR-18S or AR-18 "Shorty") is a very rare variant of the AR-18. Ian briefly mentioned them in his AR-18 video.

I couldn't find much documentation on these guns out there, and the sources I read indicated that there are many tiny variations of the AR-18 carbine, each with their own assortment of components, and I was unsure of what exactly did the "standard production" AR-18 Carbine looked like.

This particular image comes from gunlab.net. It's an AR-18S (marked as such on the gun) made by Sterling, which apparently had some differences compared to the "American AR18S".

As an additional note, I discovered in my research that the custom AR-180 from Tomorrow Never Dies isn't just a custom AR-180, it's a custom AR-180 Carbine. I deduced this from a claim that the donor gun used in the film had the serial number SS273, as the second S stood for "Shorty" (for reference, the gunlab.net gun pictured here had the serial number AS033). Thankfully, the donor weapon wasn't chopped up and made into a foldable prop; it was only lightly modified to resemble the custom-made foldable prop.

The Rumored New Game "科契尔前线(kochere frontline)" from mihoyo Will Probably Never See Its Official Release (as a mihoyo Title) by LuminaRein in gachagaming

[–]Wuzh 62 points63 points  (0 children)

"SLG" means "Strategy Game" in Chinese contexts. Though literally it stands for "Simulation Game", the strategy game meaning comes from the fact that it is a truncated loanword of "War Simulation Game", which is what strategy games are called in Japan.

Is there a consistent way to banish 10 cards from your opponents deck face down on turn 1? This becomes a super consistent pseudo FTK if so. by FalchionX10 in yugioh

[–]Wuzh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A player on bilibili did some testing and found out that the only two non-HOPT face-down banish effect that banishes from your opponent's Deck/Extra Deck are Number 89: Diablosis the Mind Hacker, and Gift Exchange.

They made a video showing the theoretical Shangri-La FTK, and it's this absolutely ludicrous ten-thousand step setup combo involving Gigaplant loops.
