The original comment was talking about how 90% of the difference between a hunting rifle and a sniping rifle is what you point it at. Which is partially correct, except for the fact that actual sniper units fighting in wars need a shitload more equipment.
Notice how none of us brought civil wars into the discussion until you came along.

Either way I’d love to see you fight a BMP with your 30 dollar ammo at night, civil war or not.

e: Also hell yeah I’d sign on the government’s side, I want my country to exist, thank you very much. We don’t have batshit insane politics like americans do, just a batshit insane neighbor trying to wipe us off the map.

Modern snipers don’t have the luxury of being 200 yards away from their target (or the luxury of daytime). Get with the times. Also don’t son me, thanks.

My opinion? Checking how much something costs is free and is a fact

edit: some examples for you, Archer TSA-7 is $15k, SAFRAN JIM LR is $20-30k used. Mk211 is $100 a pop, but even if we’re talking about hunting-adjacent rounds high quality 338 and 308 are still expensive

No, I can’t even own a rifled gun yet, just subbed to some units and like checking out their gear.

That and tens of thousands of $ needed to make it perform well in modern war. It’s wild how much combat sniper scopes sell for, let alone some of the ammo needed in significant quantities.

I wonder what would happen if the second amendment was about proper organization of that “militia” instead. It’s often the deciding factor between success and failure when it comes to rebellion, even when you’re outgunned.

I can’t speak for every country but that’s not the case here. As long as you aren’t breaking laws nobody cares if it’s meant for defending against home invaders or collecting dust in a collector’s storage.

Shoes and hammers/knives/other heavy blunt (or not) objects are kinda different, also I don’t know your local laws, so maybe you will?

Weapons don’t know and don’t care what you do with them. A trigger pull while hunting is no different from the same trigger pull during a revolution. A strike of a knife while cutting cabbage is the same as a strike while chopping up your local equivalent of a secret policeman.

One could argue a hammer is meant to facilitate acts of rebellion but in reality it doesn’t know jack shit what it’s meant for, it’s just happy to be there.

Also it’s legal to own weapons/illegal to advocate for violent overthrow in many, many countries. It’s the intentions that matter.

Yeah the problem isn’t the drone, you have to detect and track the helo and have pilots ready to launch in the very limited time that helo is close enough to them. It doesn’t happen very often, they fly close to the ground and rarely come closer than 6-8km to the frontline, plus you gotta account for the time it takes to get an FPV itself there, plus have enough skill to hit it.

That new airbus thingamajig with longer range missiles would be pretty sweet for this job though

I think it’s just typical stock manipulation bs, he’s interested in his business being picked over so called housewives’

We don’t know what downed that transport plane, the fpv thing was a meme someone made (you can check the source yourself and see the gemini logo in the corner)

edit: the helicopter part is real though, same unit that downed one mi-8 i believe last year, insane return on investment there

As in, they’re gonna stop making redundant bullshit proprietary memory cards in formats no one else uses?

Nope, affects almost every card type they make. One(1) of their Type B cards remains in production along with one regular line.

Would you say it’s like having your limbs behave with claw machine logic? lol

Even sidegrading to an older mid-high range phone seems like a good idea at this point. I hate android 12 and everything after it with a passion. Moto have been decent in my experience though, hopefully HMD will follow suit with Graphene

This is not a sports game. Iran’s drones, missiles, and shells have killed thousands of innocent people in Ukraine.

Root for everyone to have fun instead!
Root for loads of damage to any horrible regime of your choosing and it’s people (higher-ups/enablers) instead!

Do syrups count? When mixed with a non-sweetened drink I can see that tasting nice

dimetap (from what I could find) used DXM, which is exactly what people use for robotripping, but “sizzurp” (lean) in modern times refers to codeine. Funnily enough, og lean was beer mixed with dxm.

It’s an entirely different class from opiates though, and if you really need it, robocough apparently still make tablets to avoid the nastiness of syrups.

Iran wasn’t seeking nukes

Ehh idk about that, enriching hundreds of kilos of uranium to 60% (per IAEA’s reports) is well beyond what a nuclear reactor needs.

I’m not completely against nukes, they’re a great tool for countries with crazy ass imperialist neighbors seeking to destroy them, I just don’t think that part of the comment is honest
