Perfect choice on Major Winchester for this meme.
I’d have hit him with “everything but the OG three and Clone Wars cartoon is dogshit anyway, fuck off.”
Whether you agree with that or not it’ll probably piss him off and be funny.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Gun nuts of the fediverse. Do any guns use two magazines at once?
2·3 days agoI’m not there yet either lmao, also working on it!
I’ve just personally never been able to get used to the newer Walther’s grips. The ppk is fun for the neat factor at the range (also I’m a nerd) but as far as a carry pistol goes none of their “duty” lineup does it for me (or, I can’t do it with them lol. Either way.) CZ all day for me, trustworthy, good grip, can shoot well.
But that’s all just personal preference anyway, fully agree on the rest though! Second to last thing I want is a gunfight, the last thing would be what the fighting is intended to prevent lmao.

4·8 days agoOof on that Walther lol, go Glock or CZ! But yeah a new mag ain’t the fix for any of those.
Avg civilian encounter is 3s no reloads, but yeah it never hurts to be prepared!
Drag:
Carnist is just the word for people who eat meat, it’s not vegans’ fault you decided it’s an insult. Suggest a non insulting word.
You:
Omnivore
Me:
(Well Carnivore would be meat only, Omivore is everything, Herbivore is veg only. But yeah.)
Were we not having a discussion on the correct word for meat eater, which would be carnivore? I’m confused
Nonetheless, -vore as a root word means devour, carni- means flesh/meat, omni- means all, and herb- means, well, herbs. These words all only describe the animal by their diet, not also their sociological choices.

3·8 days agoDepends, if we’re in the jungles of vietnam? Sure, suppressive fire, still need to retain ammo yourself though.
In a self defense situation in an American city? Bad idea, you’re responsible for every round that leaves your barrel, if you hit a bystander while wildly winging shots at an attacker you’re fucked and will be going to prison. Unless you’re a cop, it would seem.

7·8 days ago“Tap rack bang” (below copied from wikipedia, and I’m just as surprised as you are that they have an article on this.)
Tap, rack, bang (TRB) or tap, rack, and go (TRG) is jargon for the response to a failure to fire in a firearm with a removable magazine.[1] This is designated as an "Immediate Action" and involves no investigation of the cause (due to being under fire in a combat or defensive situation), but is effective for common failures, such as defective or improperly seated ammunition magazines.[2][3] Tap – to tap the magazine. This is to ensure that the magazine is properly/completely inserted in the firearm so that it feeds properly. As typically taught in tactical firearms courses, the "tap" is applying pressure on the floor plate of the magazine to lock it into place. It does not constitute 'smacking' the magazine, as this can irreversibly damage the magazine's lip.[4] Rack – pull back sharply and then quickly release the ~~cocking~~ charging handle/slide of the firearm.[5] This will eject a misfired round, which could be a possible cause of the stoppage, and to chamber the next round. Bang/Go – aiming and firing the firearm again.[5] If the firearm again does not fire or fails to extract the spent round, it may indicate a more serious problem with the firearm, requiring maintenance. For instance, if the firing pin is too lightly striking the primer on a cartridge, it may indicate a worn-out spring or firing pin. Some failures, such as a "stovepipe", require more complicated maintenance that requires investigation of the underlying problem, or remedial action.[2] With issues such as a squib load or hang fire, the "tap, rack, bang" procedure should not be used.[6][7]And of course

A second mag wouldn’t fix any of that, either, so adding one wouldn’t be a solution.
Finally if the problem is the mag (feed lips or worn spring), a tactical reload (removing the mag, retaining it, and swapping to a full one) would be the move if you can, or just lose the mag and insert a new one if you can’t.
The real solution to OP’s question though is “train reloads,” before you get into a gun fight. In a situation with high stress you want to have practiced it enough that it becomes muscle memory and you can do it without really thinking about it. You can train it in your bedroom without ammo no less, no excuse not to train reloads. If you’re really bad you can add an aftermarket magwell to many guns that make it easier to reload (at the cost of concealability).

10·12 days agoI like that these candy sticks commonly used to be sold as candy cigarettes, only for people to be outraged and so the companies changed them to generic “sticks,” just for you to go and dip the tip in red (they used to do the same, add more yellow to your red) reinventing candy cigarettes.
Ceci n’est pas une cigarette.

“I love kitties.”
Depends on the industry.
Restaurant worker: “I can’t until I see my guy after work, coffee will have to do for now.”
Good to know, thanks!
Huh, neat! Never seen this, how is it?




Mmm mushrooms (the psychoactive varieties, NOT the food)
