    Wow. You're dating yourself, Brother. Of course I can't say much, since I used the same when I first joined. By the time I retired I was wearing this: We had to get a class on how to put it together. Note how much crap is mounted up high, where you would need to manipulate a bullpup...

    I'm a soldier. Call it a professional interest. More specifically, I'm an officer. That's why I worry about the qualities of a general issue rifle. You have to be able to train soldiers to use it with minimal effort. Bullpups have too many issues, right now. With more development, who...

    I am very suspicious of drums and quad stack mags. They have an unmitigated record of poor performance. Even the famous ones, like the Suomi or PPSh, were problematic. So yet again, it's a tradeoff. If you're willing to accept a loss of reliability for the extra capacity, go for it. But as...

    o7 Yo!

    Hi, all. I hit concierge status recently and once I got over the dysrhythmia that induced I figured "Fuck. I'd better join an org." So I search diligently for an org that shares my values. Fruitlessly, it turns out. Thus I eventually decided I'd just join the org that has no values. At...

    Actually a Discord tech support request...

    So, I joined up and started going through all of the registration stuff listed on the application. But when I went to Discord I missed that there was a 10 minute time limit to register. Now I can't even send a message to Gaius Cicereius to ask for forgiveness. I am reasonably confident that...
