@punished688 @spikesguides @Larry52032 @gsd7373 @RecklessSquirel @Name54939 @vega_holdings @innernetpizza A fair response. At any rate, any increased pressure is well within the proof pressures for either round.

@NGarcia15173 @TheBigManX97 @nelson_neilson @Larry52032 @gsd7373 @RecklessSquirel @Name54939 @punished688 @vega_holdings @innernetpizza SAAMI measures the pressure at the midpoint of the case. For .223 this is yields 55k psi. US ARMY SCATP measures 5.56 the same way and yields 55k psi. CIP measures pressure at the case mouth and yields 62kpsi for 5.56 and .223.

@TheBigManX97 @nelson_neilson @Larry52032 @gsd7373 @RecklessSquirel @Name54939 @punished688 @vega_holdings @innernetpizza Prove it

@KCunningham1989 @Larry52032 @gsd7373 @RecklessSquirel @Name54939 @punished688 @vega_holdings @innernetpizza It isn't even that. When tested with the same methods, standard 5.56 and .223 are the same pressure. What confuses people is .223 is quoted by the SAAMI pressure, and 5.56 is quoted by the NATO CIP pressure, which are two different measurement standards.

@Larry52032 @gsd7373 @RecklessSquirel @Name54939 @punished688 @vega_holdings @innernetpizza I think the big takeaway here and what everyone is trying to say without the ability to articulate is that in 1957 the metallurgy and machining technologies weren’t what they are today firearms manufacturers account for mishandling now and 5.56 is safe in 223rem modern.

@Larry52032 @KCunningham1989 @gsd7373 @RecklessSquirel @Name54939 @punished688 @vega_holdings @innernetpizza No, you're retarded. The SAAMI pressure for .223 and US Army SCATP pressures for 5.56 are identical at ~55k psi. What idiots do is see the NATO CIP pressure rating for 5.56 of 62kpsi and don't realize that that is tested using a different method that yields higher pressures.

@KCunningham1989 @gsd7373 @RecklessSquirel @Name54939 @punished688 @vega_holdings @innernetpizza You been lucky.

@spikesguides @Larry52032 @gsd7373 @RecklessSquirel @Name54939 @punished688 @vega_holdings @innernetpizza It is a completely hypothetical pressure spike not supported by empirical testing. There can be a small pressure spike running 5.56 in a .223 chamber, but it is WELL below proof pressures.

I work for a company who does barrels. There is a slight difference between .223 and 5.56 barrels but they'll likely perform the same. The 5.56 has a longer throat than the .223 leading to a *hypothetical* catastrophic failure by running 5.56 in a .223. This is also an uncommon occurrence. So uncommon that I've literally never heard of it happening.

@InTheWoods29 @i8yurdog @gunenthusiast01 Haha, I have used it as a release for thousands of rounds through dozens of guns, not a single sign of damage, and it catches every time. You are the perfect kind of low IQ grunt the USMC loves because you accept what you are told without questioning it.

@i8yurdog @gunenthusiast01 Keep destroying your slide catch then, genius. I’d bet anything your slide doesn’t catch when you finish a magazine. But that’s because you know better than the guy at the gun store and has NOTHING to do with you misusing your weapon regularly. 😉 Fucking retard.

🎬katana_savage Is the Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 2.0 the best current micro compact?

@AlexGlexden @Luth_AR_LLC I am making a moon gun with a 10.5 barrel.

@Luth_AR_LLC Make 12.5 barrels :)

Out of all the things I have done at this company, this shitpost was my favorite! You should build a moon gun btw. We have the parts you need!

@Luth_AR_LLC Still working on mine, ill DM some pics when I finish it.

@Nap51M @gatlactica So your point is moot. It is like boomers saying "I bought my house for $45,000, why would anyone pay $200,000 for one?"

@gatlactica Oh for sure no. In fact Switzerland ended exports of most everything to USA.

I paid basically the same price for my 550 (a good gun). Why the fuck would anyone buy a DSA at this price?

@rev3_s @zero_cents @baltsgauntlet And they were caught using illegal immigrants flr labor.

@zero_cents @baltsgauntlet Yeah and BCA is abysmal dogshit as well. I haven’t done a deep dive into them but it wouldn’t surprise me if they were using shitty foreign parts too

These are not great guns. They are Chinese parts kits on a US receiver set, they are literal garbage. Thread below where I broke it down before.

@Brandon41702126 @DonutOperator @Abadon00 Agreed, boobs are not a subsTITute.

@DonutOperator @Abadon00 I knew what to expect and I was still disappointed it was not a bomb.

Excelente video que nos demuestra la reacción en cadena en un incendio

@DonutOperator @Abadon00 Exactly. Don't interrupt my explosions for gay shit like tittys.

@Abadon00 Excuse me, I wanted a bomb not a whore.

@DrInsensitive @RootLeavy That doesn't stop them from insisting they can match a bullet, and in some cases where there is some unique bore damage, they may be able to, but in most cases, its bullshit.

@DrInsensitive @RootLeavy That is because ballistic rifling matches are snake oil. With modern manufacturing, the barrel to barrel consistency is such that typically, the best an honest forensic toolmark scientist can say is a bullet is "consistent with" a particular model or manufacturer of gun.

The Rifling in Your Pistol Barrel is Retarded And so is the reason it exists. We all know rifling improves a weapon's accuracy by gyroscopically stabilizing the bullet. That advantage becomes measurable at 50 yards, and important at 100 yards. Do you see the problem? If you expect to hit targets at 100 yards with a 3-inch barrel, then you have either a great deal of pistol experience, or very little. Some men are thinking, "My hollowpoint won't expand if it tumbles!" I'm pretty sure no women are thinking that. Setting aside the question of whether tumbling is good or bad, a smoothbore pistol bullet won't start to tumble until beyond 25 yards. Do you expect to fire your concealed carry pistol at a target 25 yards distant? At this point, some men will spring into action to point out that the chance is not EXACTLY zero. There was that one time a guy made a miraculous 40-yard shot! What if his bullet had tumbled? Then the hollowpoints might not have expanded! IMO, rifling the barrel of a self-defense weapon is absurd. It adds expense, it adds weight, it wastes bullet energy, and it heats up the barrel for no good reason. Why then are pistol barrels rifled? When the free market does something stupid for more than a year or two, you can bet it's not the free market. Yeah, it's the NFA. Under the National Firearms Act, a smoothbore pistol counts as "Any other weapon," which, among other requirements, must be at least 26 inches long. So the next time you fondle your carry pistol, which you should do on a regular basis, take a moment to reflect that your government did to it what it does to everything it touches.

@KristinaFitzsi @DJSnM Heat lightning is typically cloud to cloud. Not likely involved.

@DJSnM There’s been heat lightning all night. Can’t wait to know what set it all off. Wow.

If Blue Origin want to confirm how much propellent was on board they can probably claim a record for largest explosion on the space coast.

@Tim_The_Sandman @pembie000ind The ATF is not interested in them licensing anything. They just want Rare Greed to be the condom they put on to fuck FRT sellers.

Setting aside the issues with these patents and applicability, it's wild to be that they choose to do this. The agreement to protect the patents could have been accomplished this way or by licensing them cheaply to anyone who wanted to make this kind of product. One way destroys goodwill and the other way would have boosted goodwill. This lawsuit thing is a weird choice.

Well this fucking sucks, they waited till I announced the drop of the pembie-5.

@pembie000ind Rare Greed can't die soon enough.

@pavnforcesse @jmccorkel @Luth_AR_LLC Unfortunately the ATF decided the real moderators were supressors, so they are required to be registered. Most you see now are faux moderators that are essentially long flash hiders.

@jmccorkel @Luth_AR_LLC They’re the most common CAR-15 variants seen in Vietnam. The XM177E1 has a 10” barrel, while the XM177E2 has an 11.5” barrel that can support an underbarrel grenade launcher. At the muzzle is a large moderator to reduce the concussive effects of firing from such a short barrel.

Here's what a crate of XM177 barrels looks like before they get sent out to get finished! Say something nice to them!

@Luth_AR_LLC How much for one in that state?

@NobodymrRobert I mean, it depends on the situation. If it is a temporary installation and you are just trying to get it sealed up, its fine, not great but it will do.

What's this called.
