Thank You!

You mind sharing the manufacturer/Model of that Air rifle? I would like to check it out.

The days of the Blunderbuss return?!?

Looking forward to seeing this!

I suggest looking into PCC's or Pistol Caliber Carbines. 9mm ammo isn't very affordable right now but since you want both personal/home defense and smaller than AR these would be my suggestion to look into.

Couple of ARs I put together. 300Blk Pistol and 5.56 rifle

This is great to see, goes to show how effective comments can be. Seems like they had of 60k comments in 6 days!

Very well written! This is the type of comment that get the point across. I encourage everyone to make well thought out comments and urge others to do so as well. When they tried to ban m855 ball ammo one of the major factor that stopped the effort was over 80k comments on a proposal similar to this. Some guidelines on posting: Do not use fake information. Fake names and other info automatically kick the comments from consideration. Don't use foul language. Posts with F this and F that will get kicked out and just serve to cast a bad light onto the firearms community No copy and paste. Using the same comments over and over will get them kicked as spam. It is well worth the effort to take the 5 minutes or so to comment if those comments are thoughtful and not full of conjecture, conspiracy and foul language.

Here is the direct link to the ATF page https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2020/12/18/2020-27857/objective-factors-for-classifying-weapons-with-stabilizing-braces#addresses Here is where to comment on the proposal https://www.regulations.gov/comment?D=ATF-2020-0001-0001

I am going to pick up a new all arounder. Kel Tec RFB in 308 with 24" barrel, Hunter Model.

If it helps, I agree with all these as well @fpo

The main issues of steel ammo is thought to be the lacquer used to coat most of them. Here is a good read on the differences https://www.luckygunner.com/labs/brass-vs-steel-cased-ammo/

Good choice IMO!

Welcome to the thread!

Good luck, hope it goes quickly for you!

Unless there is some form of proof that shows CIG/Chris Roberts actually knew game was not going to come out there are no lies at any time frame. If the game don't come out at all it would be a failure for sure but failing does not equal lying.

No. SQ42 is not been, at any time, stated by CIG to release this year. The Roadmap ( https://robertsspaceindustries.com/roadmap/board/2-Squadron-42 ) states that Q3 this year for BETA. This will not be an open Beta that anyone outside of CIG gets to play. With all the leaks I doubt even the Evocati will be involved with the Beta testing of SQ42. Additionally, any and all dates on the Roadmap or otherwise are NOT promises of any kind. These are general statements about what they hope to achieve. Blockers can arise at any time. There is no way whatsoever, to state with any accuracy, that CIG or Chris Roberts has ever lied to their backers. Lying must have the component of making a statement with the knowledge it is not true. I have not seen any evidence of that ever taking place. Have they made ambitious or even outlandish predictions? Yeah that may have happened but that's not lying.

The Crytek suit is all but dead in the water. The judge already dismissed the bulk of their claims in 2018 ( https://massivelyop.com/2018/12/07/a-judge-has-dismissed-another-chunk-of-the-cryteks-star-citizen-engine-lawsuit/ ) . This is an attempt by Crytek to get out of the case, which they will never refile, without forfeiting the 500k (for CIGs legal expenses) the judge required them to put up in the event (when) they lose. Nothing Crytek states (the excerpt from Eurogamer) is based on fact, just their opinion. As far as the engine, Star Engine has been switched to Lumberyard for around 3 years now IIRC. Lumberyard is based on Cryengine and Star Engine is a fork of both but that has nothing to do with the license that CIG has from Amazon to use Lumberyard. This page shows the games being built with Lumberyard: https://aws.amazon.com/lumberyard/ This article from 2016 has direct quotes from Chris Roberts about the switch: https://www.extremetech.com/extreme/241674-star-citizen-developer-chris-roberts-clarifies-engine-change-promises-move-amazons-lumberyard-wont-delay-game

Moronic posts get called out. If you don't want to be associated with the stigma don't make posts that provide such evidence. IIRC, I also use the descriptor ignorant which can be anyone about a given subject but for some reason you chose to harp on the term moron....interesting.

Well I have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with Apple so there is that lol. As far as kiddo, heh, that's a compliment at my age

Read the whole erroneous post you made and factually refuted it. All your whining and crying is for nought. IT IS NOT A SCAM IN ANY FORM OR FASHION! As I figured when I replied initially you likely don't don't have the capacity to understand the difference between fact (my comments) and fiction (your comments). Don't worry tho' you are in good company with all the other haters that don't have a clue.

This is the stupidest post i have ever read, "what you've just said...is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point, in your rambling, incoherent response, were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul". Chris Roberts has a huge background in gaming https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Roberts_(video_game_developer). In addition to that he has been involved with several movies, his net worth is not tied to this title directly, it is just one of many projects he has been a part of. You have no clue what you are talking about and anyone that thinks this game is a a scam is a either a complete moron or completely ignorant and does not understand the meaning of the word. BBC just done this piece https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000cglv no scam found. This will clue you in to the other myths surrounding this game https://scfocus.org/star-citizen-myths/

You would definitely wanna go all the way down to local level for something like that IMO

All I can say is keep telling yourself that. You can continue being wrong.

The whole point in dependability is the use without regular maintenance. AR variants are much more susceptible to dust and mud because of the tighter tolerances to which they are manufactured, this is a fact. I am not as familiar with the FAL, SCAR or G3 in that respect so I can't speak to that.
