Having seen a bunch of those posts where it’s a breakdown of what teenage “communists” would do post-revolution, like art and opening up programs for supporting queer people, or “nothing”, part of me sincerely wants to join them and start the revolution, just to see the look on their faces when their “skills” are deemed completely worthless and they’re forced to work in factories or farms with their soft hands, or die.
I’m never going to get the Google Fi phone plan, YouTube, NEVER
I’m just so tired man
Opinion on the British .303?
Do you like rimlock? I love rimlock. I like spending 10 minutes poking the magazine spring of my rifle because one of them slightly nudged above the rest and now they don't feed properly.
I'm glad I paid a dollar a round for this.
Thanks England.
Before we had the L85 for British squaddies to pretend is good, we had the .303 cartridge. Brits would smile and laugh at us Yankees for not having "muh fast action" while they were pretending they remembered how to exactly load their stripper clips so they fed into their rifles properly. Meanwhile we just slap a en-bloc into a Garand and we're good to go. While every other nation in Europe replaced their ancient ammo with something better, Britain decided to stick with this. Slow burning, low chamber pressure, a pain to work in any semi-automatic system and with a whopping 26 variations in ammo type.
And you all call the Americans assholes for having A2-6's when the Brits have more stars than space for just one cartridge.
The mid 1880's was a weird time for military arms, as most nations began to figure out repeaters but were still limited by the concept of black powder ammunition. However, the tides were starting to shift to repeaters. Everyone saw Plebna during the Russo-Turkish War, wanted a repeater and wanted them now. Kropatchek, Vetterli, Mauser 71/84, everyone was getting on the bandwagon and England was not going to lose to that. So they turned to a trials process and the Lee won. So the Lee needed a cartridge, and so .303 was initially developed for that, combined with Metford rifling to reduce overall fouling in the bore. Naturally, the Lebel knocks out the need for that and so the .303 is swapped to nitro-cellulose, or Cordite as the Brits called it. While decent at the time, the Second Boer War showed issues with .303 that needed to be addressed. Namely the round nosed variants tended to drop off steeply, especially in comparison to 7mm Mauser. While they would address it with the Mark VII load, they also tried to experiment in replacing the cartridge with the .276 Enfield round. Then WWI happened. And then they just gave up on replacing it and it stuck around by proxy through WWII and into the 1950's, only being nudged out by 7.62 NATO and the SLR. Even then, it still vestigially survived with units like the Canadian Rangers, although finally replaced by the Tikka T3.
While not as obnoxious as other 1890's era rimmed cartridges like 8mm Lebel, 8x56R or 7.62x54R, .303 is still a pain. Ballistics aren't bad, 160-180 grain rounds, 2,500 Ft-lbs of force, but they're usually sub 3,000 FPS. Usually around 2.5k to 2.75k. Not exactly all that impressive or potent when .30-06, 8mm Mauser can slug up to 3k with certain loadings and hit even heavier ft-lbs of force. Plus other cartridges like 7.5 French, 7.5 Swiss or 6.5 Swede can hit similar numbers without rimmed ammo, hell shit like 6.5 Swede can match .303 for ft-lps and FPS with less grains too. And all of these cartridges I've listed are rimless, so they're much easier to load and run in other systems than .303. It's ancient in all the wrong ways, and if it wasn't for the Lee-Enfield memes, no one would care for this round anymore.
My dad took me to a range for my 18th birthday where they had machine guns to rent out to shoot for a few hours and I picked a Bren gun because I was really into military history (the way a teenage boy is into military history like just world war 2) and I was shocked at how often I had to yank the mag and get the rounds unstuck from one another, it was extremely annoying and I’m going to regret that decision for a while, considering they also had a fully auto M4
Apparently, in response to the Bryant controversy, some ex-Navy lady claimed folks in the navy are trained to shoot for the legs. Non-lethally.
Leaving aside the fact that leg shots can easily be lethal, I found a released photo of Navy target practice.
I’m not seeing the legs in this shot.
Or this official Navy video.
Leg shots are more likely to kill people than shots to center mass. The fact people keep claiming they’re “less lethal” shows how little they know of human anatomy or ballistics.
Currently being a boot boy in the navy I’m laughing cuz we actually lost points in our firearm qualifications class if we deviated from center of mass shots, including headshots. And the targets didn’t have legs then either and that was in boot camp.
Oooo who is this in reference to?
The Boulder shooting and the new recent surge in idiots on Twitter pulling out the old standby of “Oh wull I was in the Mahreens and my M16 shoots the same round as the AR-15 so it’s just as deadly!”
By that logic a M82A1 is just as deadly as an M2HB. Shut the fuck up boot boy, no one cares.
Also this is the only thing I’m going to say on the whole Boulder shooting. It’s another American preventable tragedy that shows a deep issue with mental health rather than any inherent issue with guns. But because no one wants to actually look into those issues, they’ll blame the tool. It’s easier to put a bandaid on a wound than suture it, and a lot of people don’t like the concept of suturing.
My biggest counter is pointing out knife crime and machete attacks in countries without large scale access to firearms, like the UK. Because violent people will be violent regardless of the tools they can get their hands on. And that’s something a lot of people don’t seem to understand
This morning was a disaster. I met my boyfriend’s coworker/friend and I could barely stand the guy. He just talked about money and fucking women for 90% of the brunch. I should’ve gotten drunk because sitting through two hours of that while sober was fucking painful.
In fact, here’s a list of things I’d rather do instead of how I spent my morning today:
-wait in line at the DMV all day
-eat rotten fish
-break my leg
-fucking shoot myself
Seriously, PLEASE kill me.
You...uh....you okay lately?
I’m not too sure but hey I’m trying my best!
Why was he bragging about sleeping with women ?
I asked the same exact question LOL.
Should’ve hit him with the “So you’ve probably got like an STD right?” Lol.
HAHAHAHA honestly that question crossed my mind a lot! He was talking about all of his one night stands and I’m like “but don’t you increase your chances of std’s if you sleep with random strangers as frequently as you say you do?”
Missed opportunity. Should have leaned back in your chair and been like “Damn. I bet your prostate is constantly fighting off infections from all the bacterial vaginosis you encounter. That’s tough, man. That’s tough.”
Damn I should have. Especially after he mocked me for getting a stimulus check. Like yeah I may not earn enough money to not need a stimulus check but at least I don’t have STD’s hahaha.
I had a guy I used to work with basically do the same thing, he was a little bit older than me and always asked me every Monday if I got laid over the weekend, and when I said no he said “why not?” Those kinds of people exist which is the funniest part but it’s also kind of a thing because other than that he was a nice guy once you got to know him and he was funny as shit, but this guy sounds like a bit much even for a construction worker. Sorry for your bad brunch
Okay I’m getting annoyed with a lot of stuff recently, especially like college kids. You know those Snapchat like story things that are branded stories and content from like companies? I saw one recently which was 2 girls sharing their “tiny” dorm room and how they make it work miraculously. The whole time I was watching it I was thinking; “holy fuck that room is easily twice the size of my barracks room that I share with 3 other fucking people, and we make that work somehow, where’s my story of accomplishment?” Spoiled little brats showing off their space online is just like the epitome of BS to me, idk why it’s bothering me so bad but it is. That’s all

I disagree with this map, and I can tell you where this person lives in my state based on this map.
Ever start looking at someone’s blog based on one post and come across such complete fucking trash you become physically repulsed?
Reading up and this site suggests a full month after getting a tattoo before you can work out again.
When I start getting tattoos I will be ignoring that 🥴
What site was that? Imapussy.com? Just make sure your equipment is clean before you use it and you should be good, or just don’t directly put your tattoo spot on a nasty ass bench or anything.
Paul rudd is so amazing!!!!!
I’ve never seen this actual video
Context makes it more baffleing????????
Discovered a new problem with Mobile, if you click on your link inside of your page (like the top part where it says who wrote the garbage you just read) it’ll take you to your own page again, and just keep looping and looping, but it’s not like a single tab that keeps refreshing, it’s like as many tabs as you can click. It’ll just keep stacking the same profile on top of itself until you close the app or painfully close every one of your profiles. Fuck
A temperature chart for my fellow Americans who can’t do the Celsius-Fahrenheit equation from memory and for people in the civilized countries who’re too busy making fun of Fahrenheit to do the conversions themselves.
This entire list is t-shirt weather until you hit like 32 F, then it’s hooded sweatshirt weather
So I say some dumb shit online and I get a bunch of new followers? Who tf are you people I don’t produce content I produce contempt!
My gym is playing Lizzo rn
C’mon dude it’s not time for that
It’s always time for Lizzo
U play Lizzo when you’re doing 110 on the highway hanging halfway out of you window
In the gym it’s time for Cascada
There’s never a time for Lizzo
Bruh my parents were gonna name me Lars, which is a pretty legit name, and instead they fuckin named me Dexter. Do you know how many times I’ve been asked if I’m a serial killer? Or if I have a fuckin lab? Thousands
I’m not an expert but I think they violated the NAP with that one bro
Usually now I go by Dex which isn’t terrible but I don’t really wanna use my middle name since that’s my grandpas name and he’s a massive dickbag
