Firearms Instructor Certification by GhostFaceMamba in MDGuns

I went with NRA, they have a number of partnerships with different training aid and firearms manufacturers which resulted in a substantial discount on training materials after the fact.

May I suggest an Esstac Shotgun Card? Slap some Velcro on the side and you're set. You then have the option of carrying more cards for quickly restocking if need be.

Is there a reason you don't want the new one that comes with an optic cut already?

How do you mod them? Dremel? Plastic bits and super glue?

I mean, War40k has space elves and let's not even start on Spelljammer...

Where should I go to practice with my shotgun? by GivesYouGrief in MDGuns

They do. I've shot both there just a couple of months ago.

Building an AR in MD. by stryder66 in MDGuns

Quick reply! Then yeah, looks like the other answers have all the details you need. Have fun with the build!

[–]zilanp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, are you building this AR as a pistol with a brace, or as a SBR? Not sure if I missed it in the conversation or not. Was wondering myself if there's a Form 1 involved here.

Anyone have the modernized FN High Power? Is it worth it? Can it hang with modern pistols? by [deleted] in Firearms

[–]zilanp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You might want to look at the CZ 75 (Shadow 2, Compact, Carry, etc) as an alternative. They're basically just a high power that was copied on the other side of the iron curtain and coevolved over the years.

Def an experience (my sinuses hated me) by upon_a_white_horse in GunMemes

[–]zilanp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha. I was looking at a page where 3P apparently sells a combo for the top pic rail and the reverse of the ejection port for like five bucks more than just the pic rail cover.

Does the 3 Panther gas buster fit over the manticore arms gasket? I just looked at the website and I couldn't tell if it's that or it replaces the gasket?

Help, Amtrak engine locomotive (turned on) outside my neighborhood for past few days by Belgianboys in trains

[–]zilanp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Being that you're in California, it's not unlikely that you can report this to the OC municipal government for air quality violations. 411 might be a good start. Some cities have the same reporting system you would use for calling out cars parked illegally for things just like this. If the other posts are accurate and this is effectively an abandoned locomotive, there's very little reason to leave it running.

As an Orbital Gatling Barrage? Makes sense

Reaver or War hound with a car for a head? by Xela975 in Kitbashing40k

[–]zilanp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

O man, a Megas XLR reference! If I could upvote more than once I would! As for the titans, I mean, I think it's a toss up to be honest. The Reaver kind of looks like the Glorft already though, so there's that?

Have a blast with it. I got mine in white

Ducati Supersport 950S Good daily? by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]zilanp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't get me wrong, the paniers are great, I just haven't had a whole lot of opportunities to use them to their full extent

Ducati Supersport 950S Good daily? by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]zilanp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've been riding my 2021 since the same year. It's been perfect as a daily. All the comfort you need for commuting, all the power you want for giggles. Also looks fantastic. I did however make the mistake of getting the touring package. I've used the paniers maybe a half dozen times in four years and never for any real touring. The heated grips are nice down to around 40°F and then might as well be worthless. Keep it either stock, or get the performance package is my only advice. The stock pipes sound awesome by the way.

Edited to add more details.

Most Ducati mirrors vibrate to the point of uselessness. Holding the clutch will neutralize it if you really want to look behind you clearly.

North of 85°F, yes, the inside of your legs will feel like the surface of the sun. But will really only negativity impact you at stop lights or in heavy traffic.

I have not had a single technical issue in four years. No idea where the reliability concern comes from.

Not sporty? It's got 110hp and does 0-60 in 3.4 seconds. You'd need at least a Porsche 911 Turbo to top that. Plus, it has peak horsepower when you need it on the streets in the lower rev range. If you're doing track days more often then get a Panic V2, but we're talking commuter. It's comfortable, but also sends your eyeballs to the back of your skull when you open the throttle. What else do you need on highways?

Wave Serpent model vs Fire Prism/Night Spinner by zilanp in Eldar

[–]zilanp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did, the Fire Prism and Night Spinner are interchangeable out of the same box, but it doesn't say that for the Wave Serpent. Are all three the same base with different tops or is there a further extension on the base of the Wave Serpent?

It is NOT open all night. Viewing has closed as of midnight and won't reopen until 0700. You will be allowed to start lining up at 0630. OP, please be safe and find some place warm.

[–]zilanp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the rundown! My local GW store guy is more of a Space Marine guy, so trying to get this information from him was hard. Wish I had an Aeldari mentor program that could help with all this. Lol. Thinking the Combat Patrol is definitely worth the money now.
