I would just note from the standpoint of a backpacker, if your rig is only going to hold what you have above, a lumbar pack is far superior. It doesn’t rely upon load bearing through the torso, so it fatigues far less. Backpackers all know that with any weight, you try to distribute weight...

Complaints pouring in about the new Hermes. Everyone wants to love this transport but the stupid shitty narrow access to the cargo area has people pissed. Obviously this is CIG fucking things up on purpose, yet again. Players are tired of this. Hermes looks beautiful, until you see how CIG...

Granted, it’s complicated. I think though, that flashlight deserves a reboot. That’s very 60’s. I’m all for a complete overhaul of the rig just to address the issues you raise. One of the reasons I recommended the vid atop here is it focuses on ergonomics but it did not include this rig! So...

I agree. I just wish for more gold passes and attention to older frames. My lonely Sentinel hasn’t got luvs for near a decade. Why are they waiting to bring us EM warfare? Makes no sense to me.

While we’re talking future warrior tech, there is another cartridge breakthrough that deserves note. The 6 Max is delivering just the necessary power increase to the light rifles with small boltfaces that make the 5.56 and M4 popular. Another future tech notable is the Boombox. The Boombox is...

I’m taking Richard’s advise and renting a Wolverine before I buy. If someone could build a .308 that weighs 7 lbs, has manageable recoil (for the average soldier—I used to shoot a .300 Win Mag) and 30 rd mags, I think that is a solution. I think though whatever solution they come up with, they...

The problem with the 5.56 armor piercing is it only works to about 100 yards. The standard bullet is 55 grains and the armor piercing with a tungsten rod is over 100. It’s just too light a round. I believe the problem with the .308 is it requires a larger boldface, so you are carrying a medium...

Yex, the rules for shooting creeps here in the US vary by state. We have over 38,000 “common sense laws”, so don’t encourage the turds who say we need more laws. Those laws fit into three categories. In states like Oregon, you can use lethal force in defense of personal property. That harkens...

That vid rocks! I’m not a fan of crafting either but Avril armor doesn’t come in black and if I can boost the Lumin V to kill with a single burst while wearing the suppressor, I’m all in.

I keep taking stabs at how much play one might get using the Anvil Liberator as an escort carrier, able to sneak where ships like the Idris could not, sit down on a lonely asteroid and provide a mobile, secret base from which to harass and mutilate the evil Vanduul hoards. Long may they suffer...

US Army marksman can the General to Shotshow to check out the DT SRS (Stealth Recon Scout is the bolt action bullpup sniper rifle.) https://youtube.com/shorts/MYjIBX0nqHk?si=RdscVwSQGsBwc_Jr

I’ll bet the servers are freezing because they’re in Arkansas and there’s a polar vortex, and. . . What? Oh. Never mind.

You can say the trigger can’t be fixed but that’s not what people have been saying about modern bullpups for years. The issue is whether the bar flexes. The fact the Wolverine is shooting 0.5 MOA seems to say it must have a good trigger, and shooters say the trigger is excellent. I completely...
