Hey,
Recently won a CMMG Guard 9mm AR9 mm through an NRA raffle for Christmas.
Upon inspection the buffer detent pin will dislodge freely as if the buffer tube was not screwed in far enough to retain it.. am I correct on this assumption?
Where do I go from here.. I need to get this fixed. I can buy a 3/4 inchCastle wrench if that’ll fix it.
Any help is appreciated.
it's well known that we won't have function of things like failures to extract, dud(or hangfire), etc.
The reason against is due to new players finding guns randomly not working annoying, stupid, game-is-buggy/broken is a perfectly good reason not to have it and i totally understand that.
But what if we were able to load spent casings back into magazines? Only those users who specifically wish to 'induce' a failure could load a spent case back into a magazine and induce 'failures'?
I also find on many firearms that if you hold a slide/bolt while firing, you can induce a failure to extract and there indeed will be a spent casing sitting there in the chamber which then requires actual failure clearance.
So an empty casing can definitely remain in the chamber in firearms after firing. The question is, can an empty casing be chambered from a magazine/can a magazine hold an empty case?
Could this be somehow integrated as empty cases manually (re)loadable into mags?
Anton pls
Edit: This is probably the n'th time I've requested failures, so if it doesn't pass, ill probably drop it and you won't hear about it from me anymore.
It is because of Adam’s poor knowledge with firearms or something else?
It makes sense, I mean I’m sure anyone would go crazy from such a bizarre tragedy. But from his delusional insistence that he never pulled the trigger, to this horrible, obviously scripted interview he just did, to now deleting his Twitter account, he is not doing okay. Also he looks like he’s aged 10 years since the incident and the way he’s been talking is just painful to watch. The man is losing it and I’m just worried he’s gonna have a full on meltdown and do something really crazy soon.
Be me: a severely shy and gullible Psionic character in a GURPS game whose powers are how warp travel is used.
Be not me: a surgeon who's the daughter of a richest man on earth who owns most spaceships in the setting and some other unrelated PCs.
DM is running a lower-tech sci-fi dieselpunk setting where society collapsed and due to backstory reasons and any computer networks, no matter how small, are unheard of. Technology has advanced substantially otherwise though.
Humanity has discovered a wormhole to a new solar system with the first signs of other intelligent life and a gold rush started. The Terran empire blockades the portal to have a monopoly on all the abandoned alien tech.
Our party is a ship trying to make it through. After several other methods failing, we decide to use the surgeon's political influence to schmooze our way in.
Get into a direct communication with the Empress of the Terran empire herself and it goes horribly. Offers are exchanged, threats and ultimatums are made, and the Empress orders for us to be destroyed.
During the call, it was discovered that the Empress is here in person on one of the battleships. Nothing bad could possibly come of this.
I make a very risky maneuver to warp us out of there, but not before the surgeon alerts the entire system that the leader of the largest faction in the known universe is here herself.
Instantly, all chaos breaks loose as our warp malfunctions and we're stranded billions of light-years from human civilisation with no way back.
Shit
Find out by telepathically contacting associates back home that we indirectly killed the Empress with our petty exit strategy, started a massive Civil War, and led to the surgeon's father committing a coup.
Cool, but we're stranded and would be killed on sight even if we made it back, so we decide to explore a nearby planet.
Find out it's inhabited by adorable teddy-bear people that have seemingly progressed about as far as ancient Roman technology.
As a previous astronomer who became a warper because he was fascinated with the universe, this is basically my character's life's dream: minus the whole stranded thing.
On first contact we find out that they're a lot more advanced than we initially thought: with spacefaring vessels, firearms, and an empire spanning hundreds of planets. They're also super arrogant, racist, and openly talk about enslaving our species once they find more.
Fuck
Get taken on an airship ride with them so we can find out mo
... keep reading on reddit ➡I learned a ton, but the instructor had some interesting takes that I wanted to see what the hivemind thought:
- At-home dry fire is not effective and potentially dangerous. Essentially the thought process was that verified clear or not, you're still breaking the firearm safety rules and risk eventually putting a hole in your wall or loved one. Additionally, no amount of dry fire will actually prepare you for managing recoil anticipation. To be clear, he had no problem with practicing draw and presentation, just no trigger pull.
- 100-yd zero is best zero. Probably plenty of support for this one, but the 36-yd zero seems to be the most popular here, and I personally prefer the 50/200.
- Offset/piggyback red dots are not effective. a) Cannot be trusted as backup sights since they're battery operated and backups are not needed for etched reticle LPVOs anyway, b) The idea of rolling the rifle for a close encounter is not realistic and using point shooting (intuitive shooting, thumb sighting, whatever you want to call it) is more efficient.
- Pistol mounted RDS are effective but too many risks for use on a duty or carry gun. Doesn't matter if you have co-witnessed or suppressor height sights or not, there are still things that could potentially go wrong to block your sight picture.
- Pistols/secondaries on a kit are not needed. a) Most infantry don't carry sidearms, b) Basically he just doesn't see a situation where transitioning to a pistol would be more effective than doing whatever you have to do to get your rifle back up, plus i) Pistols will likely not stop a threat--or maybe more specifically, if the threat has a rifle, you're fucked anyway--so the idea of "getting back to your rifle" is flawed, ii) With training, reloading the rifle can be as fast as transitioning. I didn't to ask what happens during a catastrophic malfunction.
Some of these are probably more controversial than others, so go ahead and let me know what you think in the comments.
Edit: I don’t really care about the karma, but y’all don’t need to downvote me. I neither said these things nor necessarily advocate for them—obviously until the training, I was doing the things and had the setup he recommended against or I wouldn’t be asking about them.
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
