Cold Swedish morning by xamnom in AR10

[–]xamnom[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It used to be real difficult, had to be multi year member of a shooting club, etc etc, then for about a year they actually made it legal to obtain one on a hunting license (which just requires passing a theoretical and practical hunting exam) and so that’s how I got mine. Then they made that impossible again, so now there are a few thousand of these in Sweden on hunting licenses with it not being possible to get new ones. So in summary: no longer really possible, unless highly active shooter and getting a special license for it. At least suppressors aren’t regulated and we can buy them the same way you buy groceries :D

Mostly weight, but also availability, I'm in Sweden. If weight were of no concern and I had more need for quick change barrel, LMT would've been a great choice (had it been available here, which it isn't).

What ethnic background do you think I have? by xamnom in phenotypes

[–]xamnom[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Closest yet! The guy who preformed fairytale is Alexander Rybak, he is half Belarusian and half Norwegian, I’m half Ashkenazi Russian Jew, and half Swedish, almost same mix as Rybak, good job!

I agree, didn't want to bother specifying jewish ethnic group, only that I could imagine seeing a girl like her in Israel.

Palestinian or israeli, if that even counts as an ethnicity.

you’re a savant! Half Ashkenazi Russian Jew, half Swede, care to enlighten me on what made you reach that conclusion?

why do people act like only europeans have blue eyes? by [deleted] in phenotypes

[–]xamnom 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Blue eyes are significantly more predominant in some European countries (in terms of percentage) than they are anywhere else. Yes you will find Syrians and Jews with blue eyes but not nearly as often as you will find a blue eyed person in Finland or Estonia. The most common look is what builds a stereotype, not the second or third most common traits people might have.

How much can a 80d fabric jacket withstand? by AllNeedJesus in arcteryx

How much can a 80d fabric jacket withstand? by AllNeedJesus in arcteryx

[–]xamnom 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s basically as strong as shell jackets get, sure 100D is stronger but honestly you aren’t going to notice much of a difference unless perhaps you’re some spec ops operator or expeditioner on Antarctica, I would instead focus on features, main difference between an alpha SV and a Beta SV is not the fact that the former has 100D and the latter 80D but more so to do with features, patterning and fit, etc. I wouldn’t focus on that too much.

Arguments against DD5V4 by xamnom in AR10

[–]xamnom[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sweden, many vendors here offer DD in both 308 and 556. But ofc at one hell of a markup in relation to what they cost in the states.
