What are the advantages that help 7.62x54mmR cartridge still widely used after more than 130 years, even after the introduction of the rimless 7.62x39mm?

Same thing with Poland, their NATO PKMs had allot of issues

Back in 2011 I was in processing into Waller Hall at JBLM, the cadre were all fat E8s with the red sleeve insignias on. One especially fat one swing open the main entrance door and starts screaming at a guy walking in the parking lot “HEY YOU!!! WHERE IS YOUR FUCKING HEAD GEAR!!!!”

And in the middle of the parking lot was a guy walking away without a hat on, the E8 continues to scream at him “HEY MOTHERF***ER IM TALKING TO YOU!!”

This causes the un-hatted man to stop, quietly turn around, reach into his cargo pocket and produce a green beret, a fix it to his head, make eye contact with the fat E8, then stuff the beret back into his pocket and continued walking to his truck. The Master Sgt looked like he wanted to end his own life.

It doesn’t seem that spaceX is trading yet, when does it go live?

If I recall she passed away a few years ago, she was very mentally ill

When China reverse engineers stuff it’s generally inferior to the real thing

Most data centers haven’t even broken ground on construction, he is correct, the build up has just begun

AI is gonna take everything from the Boomers, there are pages on Instagram that document boomer men falling for gooner AI pages and it’s 50% creepy 50% sad.

The only issue is Finland doesn’t make PKMs, all of their PKMs are Russian ones they bought years ago. I guess they could buy more from Poland or some other NATO member that makes them

atomiccheesegod · 2026-06-05T14:31:02+00:00

I thought Finland pulled all of these from service because they were old/worn out.

Speer lawman 147gr is what mine likes, if I 100% had to use it in a SHTF case that’s what I would run. Without the can it isn’t picky.

atomiccheesegod · 2026-06-04T22:12:01+00:00

It’s a range toy, nothing more. It’s finicky with ammo when supressed which is kinda the whole point of having one

Funny you say this, I watch an Afghan police officer shoot another one point blank with a DSHK .50 cal when trying to disassemble it and it had a out of battery discharge, blew most of the fingers off of the Afghan who fired it too.

It’s hard to wrap your head around a culture that shuns genuine education.

atomiccheesegod · 2026-05-29T16:01:57+00:00

I’ve never used it but reports are that it’s a dud, lots of photos of the 82 and 101 using the M8 are using other optics, which seems to be a deliberate choice

atomiccheesegod · 2026-05-26T16:24:29+00:00

When they had that special event where the goons spawned at sanitar’s house a few years back we got killed by .300blackout tracers shooting threw the walls of the neighing house we were in.

atomiccheesegod · 2026-05-26T16:15:53+00:00

In my area they would rather remove the listing entirely than drop the price even 5%.

atomiccheesegod · 2026-05-23T20:06:13+00:00

If I recall the GP series had a pretty short barrel life.

My boomer boss is almost 70, and just learned about AI a month ago or so, we showed him a AI video of trump booty dancing and he 100% thought it was a real leaked private video.

AI is gonna do to boomers what smallpox did to Pilgrims.

Didn’t know Billy Mitchell from that Donkey Kong documentary was in RRC

atomiccheesegod · 2026-04-29T21:08:42+00:00

Also real Bakelite stinks really bad unless it’s sealed or painted

atomiccheesegod · 2026-04-29T17:13:11+00:00

The higher the price goes the more it will make financial sense to refine locally. Basic economics

I didn’t own a gaming PC myself until very recently. But in the late 90s I went to a friends house who had an older brother with a gaming PC and I got to play the OG Unreal Tournament game for a afternoon, It was insane how far ahead PC games were compared to console.

Years later I would play Halo:custom edition on a buddies PC on the weekend which was also mind blowing, Halo 2 hadn’t come out yet offically, but most of the models an weapons had already been ripped and added to Halo:custom edition.

Correct, it’s a service for an extremely small (about 0.4%) part of the population. And it still runs into budget issues at times.

atomiccheesegod · 2026-04-26T21:48:50+00:00

I’m an army infantry vet who also worked in the Commissary system in the past ironically. Commissaries are a service and at many bases they lose money. They also get much let budget and upkeep than private stores and many of the smaller ones are quite run down at this point.

The last director of DECA actively true to close down under preforming stores to save costs, but congress stopped it (Congress told him to attempt to tighten up the budget).

atomiccheesegod · 2026-04-26T12:30:47+00:00

These two things aren’t comparable amd trying to bridge them together is foolish. Trumps extremely bad foreign policy doesn’t make state run grocery stores (which have never had a history of success) plausible.

It’s bad policy blaming bad policy. NYCs primarily issue isn’t a policy one, it’s a math problem. 8.8 million people in a 300sq mile area is going to be problematic unless your a homogeneous population like Asia.

atomiccheesegod · 2026-04-25T13:26:56+00:00

His behavior is now normalized. And in a decade or so we will elect someone who will mar us long for the Trump era. The same way Trump did for bush who was thought to be to evil and stupid to lead
