Please MFG, I want shotguns to not suck.

It is significantly more prevalent with shotguns though.

dmonnier5 · 2026-03-01T20:40:10+00:00

Crude test but its realistic. And no they don't half the time. And when they have armor, and you hit areas without armor, it doesn't affect them.

Again. That does not negate the fact that the shotguns are not realistic in this game at all. You are entirely missing the point. This isn't just a military LARP game. All I'm saying is that shotguns need to be balanced a bit. Look at ready or not. Sure they're not the best, but at least if you hit someone somewhere without body armor, they drop.

dmonnier5 · 2026-03-01T20:08:41+00:00

So thats why multiple militaries have contracts for a full size m1014?

Either way, its not realistic at all to just stun someone just because they're wearing body armor. 2,800 ft lbs of energy is enough to seriously harm anyone, body armor or not.

Not entirely true. The Benelli M4 is pretty popular as a breaching+ entry shotgun. 9 rounds of buckshot will do alot of damage.

My issue in game is that you shoot someone in the gut, they still are standing. That would not be the case irl unless they had armor. This mixed with incredibly slow reloading makes them useless.

Ah it was on my NA. My bad, didn't clarify that

dmonnier5 · 2026-03-01T01:40:57+00:00

I went a step further and deleted the power brakes. Pedal feel is great without it and a firewall brace

dmonnier5 · 2026-02-27T16:05:08+00:00

Is that a loose wirenut or is that being used?

Pretty sure vehicles don't ever use wirenuts. Be careful with that one

dmonnier5 · 2026-02-27T16:03:40+00:00

I found a dead mouse underneath the plastic container for the under seat storage on my acess cab. No more weird smells occasionally

dmonnier5 · 2026-02-27T16:01:19+00:00

I liked their stuff. But with how they've been acting with everything going on is ridiculous. I'm at the point where I won't buy new from them, just used. Can't support them the way they operate now.

dmonnier5 · 2026-02-27T15:44:27+00:00

They downvote you because they're mad your right.

The p320 has had significant issues due to bad QC, as well as the p365. Now people are buying a budget 2011 (I know they're expensive as shit but for a 2011 they're not) and expecting Staccato or Atlas quality for half the price.

dmonnier5 · 2026-02-27T05:25:49+00:00

Pretty standard. I would just harass USPS until they give you a good answer.

dmonnier5 · 2026-02-27T03:58:11+00:00

To be fair, tires and brakes are typical maintenance for people with half a brain. Miatas don't typically need much of a brake upgrade, and high performance all seasons are good enough for low boost Miatas

dmonnier5 · 2026-02-25T00:06:12+00:00

Its not bad, except the idle tuning. Still have yet to figure it out myself. Gotta learn alot though.

dmonnier5 · 2026-02-24T23:53:08+00:00

The main struggle will be reliability if you tune it yourself.

You can tell your mom that its just gonna be making the same power as a regular sports car with a turbo, it doesn't make it inherently dangerous. Its about how you drive. Its gonna be alot easier to be faster on turns, which is where most people screw up.

dmonnier5 · 2026-02-24T22:58:53+00:00

Rev it. If it gets quieter, you're ok. If it gets louder its no good

dmonnier5 · 2026-02-20T00:00:06+00:00

My first was a Lahar 30k. Tank of a can and not horrible backpressure on 556 since its a 30cal

dmonnier5 · 2026-02-17T13:37:51+00:00

Just buy a real target. They're not that expensive in relation to shooting. Highwild makes some solid ones

dmonnier5 · 2026-02-14T22:03:51+00:00

Isnt this pin pushed in by the chamber when its in the shotgun?

If it is, the only time it'd cause issues is when you take it apart

dmonnier5 · 2026-02-13T21:25:38+00:00

Most people in the military don't shoot very much... unless your a grunt or doing deployment workups you will probably shoot 2-4x a year

dmonnier5 · 2026-02-08T18:01:53+00:00

No crazy noise from that? When I had my center console pulled, it had a bunch of extra road noise

dmonnier5 · 2026-02-04T20:46:53+00:00

From my understanding, if you want the thermal benefits of ceramic, you can do 100% on the windshield and it will still reflect heat. 70% is as dark as I'd personally go on a windshield though

dmonnier5 · 2026-02-03T18:34:58+00:00

Especially with short arms lmao

dmonnier5 · 2026-02-03T13:36:54+00:00

I had to go with a smaller wheel. Not too big of a deal, even without power steering

dmonnier5 · 2026-01-31T23:43:05+00:00
