I mod a worryingly growing list of communities. Ask away if you have any questions or issues with any of the communities.
I also run the hobby and nerd interest website scratch-that.org.

SSTF@lemmy.worldOPto NonCredibleDefense@sh.itjust.works•Where we're going, we won't need eye relief.English1·20 days agoIt’s not the guy, it’s the ACOG setup. The movie went out of its way to mount an ACOG so far forward it would be impossible to see through. With just the hardware in the image, the ACOG could have attached straight to the carry handle.
SSTF@lemmy.worldOPto NonCredibleDefense@sh.itjust.works•What's the big dea- oh no. Oh no no no.English0·21 days agoI’m not even sure where to begin with your numbers. Here’s a picture of an M1 with standard clips.
What’s the can model? Do you like it?

Technically many of the guns are sold purpose made as pepper ball launchers, but they are literally rebranded .68 cal paintball guns and compatible with commercial paintball gun parts.
I see two in the photo. Along with what I presume is a 37mm break open launcher.

Last I read they were upgrading them, looking at MCWS.
I guess somebody decided a 16ish ton difference between the M10 and the M1E3 made it redundant for tank-like roles, and the existence of the Stryker with a 105mm fills the strategically air mobile fire support role better.
Now we wait for the Army to figure out that the XM7 is just an M14 with extra steps.

No, no. It’s words that sound like positive reenforcement be repurposed by people who don’t want to deal with it

Usually said when you bring up something that needs fixing, and said as a way to puff you up and not actually follow up on the problem.

I guess it was easier to train everyone else to mimic her accent than it was for her to not let it slip.
SSTF@lemmy.worldto Star Wars Memes@lemmy.world•How long have you been sitting on that?English7·2 months agoOf all characters, yes Emperor Palpatine knows he is evil and he loves it. Sometimes villains are nuanced and sympathetic. Sometimes they are evil space wizards who are passionate for the game.

(Disregarding all the T-Rex specific science and just focusing on the idea of a predator screaming.)
SSTF@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Democrats vote against gun control in surprise move1·2 months agoI went and read the text. The TLDR is the law was targeted to semiautomatic weapons, but the text itself defined those as “assault rifles”.
The text proposed banning “assault rifles” and within the bill it laid out a definition for the purposes of the bill:
“Assault rifle” means a semiautomatic rifle
(1) With an overall length less than thirty inches;
(2) That has a fixed magazine with the capacity to accept more than ten rounds, except for an attached tubular device designed to accept, and capable of operating only with, .22 caliber rimfire ammunition; or
(3) That accepts a detachable magazine or that may be readily modified to accept a detachable magazine and has one or more of the following characteristics:
(A) A folding, telescoping, or detachable stock, or a stock that is otherwise foldable or adjustable in a manner that operates to reduce the length, the size, or any dimension, or otherwise enhances the concealability of the weapon;
(B) A pistol grip or thumbhole stock;
© Any feature capable of functioning as a protruding grip that can be held by the non‑trigger hand;
(D) A flash suppressor;
(E) A shroud that is attached to or partially or completely encircles the barrel and permits the shooter to hold the firearm with the second hand without being burned, but excluding a slide that encloses the barrel;
(F) A bayonet mount;
(G) A grenade launcher; or
(H) A threaded barrel capable of accepting a barrel extender, flash suppressor, forward hand grip, or silencer.
SSTF@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Democrats vote against gun control in surprise move1·2 months agoFully automatic weapons can be legally owned after a mere $200 application to the ATF.
The real hurdle is the closed nature of the full auto registry creates artificial scarcity and pushes the price of the gun itself up.
But, assuming you have the money, it is a straightforward process no more complicated or time consuming than legally owning an SBR.
