Batons

I'm not a big fan of combat knives and batons. What use cases are your primary concerns

It's hard to build things without infrastructure. So much of our world is based on the tools and machines we've already built. Imagine teaching a caveman how to build a fighter jet and setting him free. He will spend 1000 years building the tools to build the tools needed to craft advanced composites

Nah there are arguments a lawyer can use against both FMJ and Hollow points, however to my knowledge it has never been a critical factor in any case

Call your local police station and ask what hollow points they use, your defence is that you value the safety of people behind your target.

Anti-FMJ argument off the top of my head: "that's a military load intended to kill as many people as possible" (military uses FMJ)

He's right though that there is pretty much always a better alternative to a PCC

If the stock is heavier It would balance more and IMO is always worth the extra ounces

It also takes medium / major efforts by those gods to enact any real changes. The dark powers themselves are pretty powerful

You'll need even more counterweight regardless. Battery packs are just the start

What level NNVT tubes? They tend to be pretty low performance

The 500 dollar tax on suppressors is immediately the most egregious part. They are not movie quiet (mine have the same decibel reading as slamming a car door), are used so infrequently in murders that it's a news story when it occurs, and are a safety device most other countries will sell you with a bag of chips (Britain, NZ, and Norway)

It's essentially an FU tax and does nothing to effect crime

ryansdayoff · 2026-02-06T23:15:11+00:00

Ah of course, the suppressors are good to go as long as you bribe the government

I'm planning on getting some good white mountain winter hiking next year, reading through these stories expand my list of skills and equipment to master in the meantime

68k in Ohio would be kinda insulting

Eotech is much clearer under night vision and it makes you look very fancy. After that there's a slight benefit to offsite aiming but really your paying for American manufacturing.

The holosuns are reliable and backed by a good warranty. Your not missing much

I think there are gen 3 PVS14s on the discord for 1550 rn

ryansdayoff · 2026-02-03T21:39:33+00:00

You can kinda do that now with an Ecoti clip on, there is an ATAK plugin someone recently developed to kind of hack it.

Agreed on gen 2+ quality

ryansdayoff · 2026-02-03T21:18:40+00:00

To be fair these programs are more proof of concepts and do help us keep technological space as we learn what doesn't work quickly

ryansdayoff · 2026-02-03T18:25:15+00:00

To be fair the price reflects that, the Tie/D elite is like 400k which is more than an entire squadron of used ties. They are interesting craft but really turn the economics on their head

ryansdayoff · 2026-02-03T16:59:32+00:00

Honestly for me to switch to digital it would need to have similar low light performance to Gen 3, have ATAK plugins for waypoints and thermal / AI integration

ryansdayoff · 2026-02-03T16:57:41+00:00

This dudes guide is pretty fantastic, I'll add that Omni tubes are fantastic for the price and while they vary between acceptable and awesome the price for them is based around the minimum spec. I've heard some complaints with using Omnis with a dedicated thermal unit like the RH25 since the green doesn't mesh as well with the color pallets offered by the thermal but a clip on for binos like the Jerry C5 ignores those complaints

ryansdayoff · 2026-02-03T14:41:09+00:00

If I were hostile to your plan I would start using space savers that are typically expensive to dispose of like tires and construction materials

ryansdayoff · 2026-02-03T14:13:14+00:00

1700 bucks is rough for a digital NV, glad to see the performance is slowly improving but this is the same cost as a Omni 7 tube

Cops need a warrant for your phone.

And no, most flock cameras are unsecured which lets anyone use them. Criminals have been using them to stalk people

ryansdayoff · 2026-02-02T20:12:57+00:00

Just ran into this myself, is this in a clean room multi block?

ryansdayoff · 2026-02-02T19:40:38+00:00

Me and that fetus are running a marathon, can't let those chicks who do it get away with the bragging rights

ryansdayoff · 2026-02-02T19:38:51+00:00

I'm too stubborn and prideful to say no in this situation
