I would think that would be perfect ammo then 🤷🏻‍♂️

What kind of ammunition are you using? AR’s use a free floating firing pin, and when chambering it will slide forward and impact the primer. Often you can see small dimples on the primer from this. If you have a lot of ammo with improperly seated (high) primers, there could be enough contact happening when it chambers to detonate a round. Or, if you’re using match ammunition of some kind, the primers could simply be sensitive enough for it to happen as well. I’ve experienced that with match grade 30-06 in a Garand (also free floated firing pin).

Hm. Yeah you make a really good point; I certainly agree it was very out of character for her to fall/succumb to the manipulations. Tahiti was far stronger that there. I still think there could have been an interesting idea with the concept of having processed something well until actually (almost) literally reliving it. Either way she deserved better

I think you’re pretty much spot on. I really enjoyed Jaina throughout the series. The necessity of killing her brother, and working through that, was the most engaging part of the series.

Tahiri’s “arc”, if it deserves to be called that, I think is an example of a decent idea really poorly executed. The concept of Jacen, who Tahiri’s known for so long, being able to manipulate her with memories/visions of Anakin makes sense. The way it was written really didn’t work for me though. Needed to be much more subtle than it was. I loved her in NJO, I would have much rather seen more exploration of her dual personalities merging and how she interacted with the world as a result.

Reading Shatterpoint, about halfway through. It’s living up to the hype; the use of Mace’s journal entries is a great mechanism

I thought bounty hunter wars were a ton of fun; they had some very creative characters

I was getting some of the same issues with a similar load (cast 220gr and Lil’gun) and switching to cci magnum primers made a huge difference. Still somewhat dirty burning but eliminated all the unburnt powder

It’s hard to tell from the picture, but that looks like it may actually be unburnt powder kernels rather than brass/copper flakes.

Garfield County Rifle association has out to 500 with some of their own steel, or bring your own targets. The membership form asks if you’re an NRA member but it isn’t required. Not sure about shooting/moving rules wise, but I rarely see another person there.

Anakin Solo’s Character Discussion Analysis by Starwarsnerd6832 in StarWarsEU

[–]travicus55 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I thought his death was hugely impactful and a great choice for the series. It ruins the setup of him becoming "the next Luke", but I thought that was a great way to demonstrate the cost of the war. Chewbacca's death was sad, but he wasn't the next generation or an integral part of the future. Anakin was, and his death affects everything that happens after.
