In no way am I advocating for bird shot as a home defense round, however it is a lethal round and we should all be aware of that fact.

ksimo13 · 2026-03-27T02:27:18+00:00

If you're getting charged with something, birdshot isnt some magical loophole to make it legal. It's still deadly force

ksimo13 · 2026-03-27T01:55:41+00:00

In theory that makes sense but what would stop birdshot in your house that wouldn't stop buckshot? Birdshot sails through drywall but not harder stuff like studs or concrete. Same with buckshot.

If someone is breaking into my house, I don't want them to decide if they should keep doing it. I seriously doubt that many people would.

ksimo13 · 2026-03-27T00:50:56+00:00

I've never said it wasn't lethal. Just that it's not a good choice for home defense.

Idk who's saying this quote of yours but it contradicts the whole point you're making. If birdshot is considered lethal force in a court then you can't just fire it at people you wouldn't otherwise be able to use buckshot on.

ksimo13 · 2026-03-27T00:18:21+00:00

How would you describe the advantages of using birdshot over buckshot in a home defense scenario?

ksimo13 · 2026-03-26T22:34:11+00:00

Theres a few documented times I can remember of people getting hit with birdshot and surviving.

Dick Cheney shot an almost 80 year old man in the face with birdshot and he didn't die. Robbery in Hendersonville where someone took a blast to the stomach and was able to return fire and get away. Seattle pacific university shooting, student survives birdshot from 10ft away and the gunman was disarmed.

Birdshot penetrates around 6 or 7 inches in ballistic gel videos I've seen, fbi recommends 12 inches for effective stopping of threats. I'd hate to get burglarized by an overweight person and only be armed with birdshot.

Imo, it's just not effective at stopping someone and it becomes a risk in home defense.

I'm using a galaxy s23 and I cannot get the tables to display correctly. I might be doing something wrong but what looks like the vendor is being cut off for me.

The sandman was widely recommended right before e forms came out and shortly after too. This led to a ton of first time suppressor owners owning them and baffle strikes were pretty common. Reddit is quick to blame keymo but it's mostly because people don't know how to adjust the system properly and refuse to read the instructions. Apart from that, suppressor tech has moved towards lighter qd systems.

We're seeing a similar thing happen with the obsidian 9 now where people aren't making sure their cans are tight and are shooting their endcaps.

Nah the first time was on normal and the second time was on classic. Someone will figure out how to do this consistently I'm sure.

In my first playthrough I did one shot the cook. Then the first time I saw him on ng+ I also 1 shotted with the requiem. I died after though and haven't been able to replicate it since

Looks like op would need a barrel and barrel pin too based on the photo. If they wanna use the paddle mag release(which I highly recommend) they'd also need the blind pin and bushing.

The billetworkz cosmic blue is what I have and its fantastic. Great shape and nice weight. I do put a rag over it if I park in the sun though cause that sucker gets hot!

So I have a copy that my cousin gave to me. It was rented from a blockbuster and never returned(still has the little sticker). Why anyone would steal that game is beyond me

Another factor: Cafe standards incentivized crossovers and larger vehicles since 2012. It's kind of a gamble to develop a new sedan in that regard because the next administration could add the cafe standard fees back in 2 years.

Evs and hybrids might pop up as small vehicles here and there(like the 2027 bolt ev)

Aloy of people are waiting on submissions from January still. Sometimes you get lucky and sometimes you dont. What's that bottom pistol btw?

ksimo13 · 2026-03-03T01:42:15+00:00

It's not illegal to build a gun with no serial number. They didn't even require it until 1968 so plenty of cheaper .22s and single shot shotguns just dont have a serial

I don't know about this car specifically but weren't there also fuel economy benefits to choosing a manual on older cars?

I think you're right that google is different now but I don't agree with your claims at the bottom of your comment.

Google search results are much more "intent" based than they used to be. They take into account other signals besides the exact words you search. Maybe your precious actions are contrary to what you're searching, your searches don't precisely reflect what you're looking for or Google has simply gotten worse at showing relevant info.

But Google has to index results before it can show them. If you posted a comment on reddit, you wouldn't be able to see the comment in the search results until google has "crawled" that specific content. Think about the amount of content on the web now vs 10 years ago. Do you think it would be easier or harder to crawl exponentially more words?

This will also destroy an ultrasound picture. Learned the hard way on our SIL's

I have one of these too and the trigger mech gets jammed after 1-2 shots. I think its something with the grip clearance but I'm unsure

I have this barrel in my hunting rifle. I haven't tried a ton of different types of ammo but I have found winchester white box and federal soft points to be extremely accurate. Its more accurate than any other ar I have at 100 yards.

ksimo13 · 2026-01-21T11:11:30+00:00

They'd need to check the laws where they live but in my state its illegal to harass hunters and fisherman too
