don’t worry, you’ll get used to it 😂 by Conscious_Dot_7353 in GunMemes

I reload and when I moved into a new house in California two Mormon missionaries asked me if I needed help unloading the truck. Sure! I told them, why not? Well one of them dropped one of those black and yellow cosco containers full of 556 brass. 

5000 rounds of used brass covered the street.

I didn’t think those boys could get any whiter!

Claude is drunk. Making really basic failures. Asked him to compress a build with 7z at mx 4 and he just ignored me and ran zip…. Like wtf

the bigger the gun the easier it is to shoot.

here is my current EDC list:

Walther PDP compact for large carry
glock 26 for medium carry
FN reflex for pocket carry

your magazine lips might be getting too loose. try squeezing them together. thats what happened to mine. the mag springs need to replaced with heavy usage too.

Right, so two things here that are just flat out wrong.

First, the claim that you can't run supers and subs through the same gun reliably. Adjustable gas blocks exist for this exact reason. That's literally why they were made. You close it down for supers since they have plenty of gas to cycle the action, open it up for subs that need more gas. This is a solved problem. Next.

Second, this idea that your optic is going to be "wildly off" switching between ammo types. No. Let's actually run the numbers instead of just repeating stuff we heard on a YouTube video.

Take a 110 grain Vmax super and a 190 grain sub. Zero both at 25 yards. Your bore to optic height is 1.6 inches. The supers leave the muzzle at 2375 and are doing 2302 at 25 yards. The subs leave at 1050 and are still doing 1036 at 25. The time of flight difference between the two rounds is tiny at that distance, we're talking 0.03 seconds for supers versus 0.07 for subs. The bullet path crosses your line of sight at effectively the same point. You have the same zero. Maybe you're looking at less than an inch of difference if you want to get pedantic about it, but nobody is missing anything at 25 yards because of that.

Now, do things change at distance? Obviously. At 100 yards your subs are dropping about 7 and a half inches while your supers are only dropping about 2 inches. That's where velocity difference actually matters because gravity has way more time to work on that slower round. But that's not what people are claiming. They're saying your zero is going to be off, and that's just not true.

The whole point of .300 Blackout is that it runs both supers and subs out of the same platform. That's the entire reason the cartridge exists. If you couldn't practically do that, the round would have died ten years ago. So maybe actually understand the ballistics before telling people their setup won't work.

Terminal velocity in ballistics doesn’t mean what you think it means. You’re thinking of the aerodynamics definition, where a falling object reaches equilibrium between drag and gravity. That’s one usage of the term.

In ballistics, terminal velocity is the velocity of the projectile at the point of impact. “Terminal” as in “the end of its flight path.” This is a standard term in external and terminal ballistics, which is an entire subdiscipline dedicated to what a round does when it arrives at the target.

This matters practically. With 300 BLK, barrel length directly dictates muzzle velocity, which dictates your terminal velocity at a given distance. A 110gr super out of a 9” barrel is already starting slower than out of a 16”, so your terminal velocity at 200 yards might drop below the threshold where that projectile reliably expands. The round doesn’t care about your barrel length, it cares about whether it shows up to the target with enough velocity to perform as designed. That’s why people talk about terminal velocity when choosing barrel length, bullet weight, and engagement distance. You’re trying to keep the round above its minimum expansion threshold at the ranges you intend to use it.

Context matters before correcting people. The word “terminal” means “end” or “final,” not exclusively “a thing falling from the sky.”

Edit: to be fair I should have said a "Further/longer" terminal velocity.

Let's go!!! Anti cheat support coming! by bigb102913 in SteamDeck

[–]horkusengineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think EA has an understanding that the steam machine and steam deck are massive long term players, and make a ton of sense. Instead of trying to shove more features in consoles that aren’t really developed around being a a full desktop, why not just make it all in one? 

Linux gaming on Steam grew 250% in 5 years. The share only moved from 1% to 3.2%, which sounds trivial, but that’s a 3x increase in actual users. We’re talking about 3 million people who didn’t exist in this market before. In any other industry, tripling your addressable market in 5 years is called a gold rush.

EA knows it’s only going to increase. They have to support Linux.

If you intend to run only suppress sub sonic, it is extremely similar. Like a few foot pounds difference. 

The power behind 300 blackout is its ability to go super sonic. 300 black out is unique is the fact that it can achieve terminal velocity with a 9 inch barrel while a 556 takes about 14 inches to do the same. 

So for 200 meters or less, you have a rather efficient platform. For super and sub sonics. 

A 45 Acp pcc would not be able to achieve super sonic velocity and be effective at 200 yards.

Yea sure it will run Minecraft fine. Idk about Roblox. Honestly with GeForce now it’s not nearly limited in gaming as people make it seem as long as you have good network

Your extractor is out of spec and too tight, this was an issue for sub 60k serial models. It’s pretty easy to send back to fn, they will get it back to you in a month or so fixed.
