Predictions for the 2026 meta?
>>64705386MK18 with a magnified optic, we've already been over this.
>>64705386Someone makes a viable and thus perfect thermal acog setup
>>64705372In 4 homos of /arg/, may you all habg.
>>64705386Ash clone block 2 with thermal.
>>64705386Affordable thermal that doesn't suck. Spoiler, it's Chinese.
>>64705390>>64705395Still trying to think up the best thermal setup for an SBR that doesn’t turn the gun into a total brick.>elcan/acog/lpvo with stacked dot and a thermal clip onEffective but bricko mode.>red dot with fmp13Light weight but not super effective due to the postage stamp sized screen being far away and it lighting up your face.>holosun thermalSingle unit that lets you use a magnifier and use it as a regular red dot but it has a very poor field of view and a low spec censor.>smaller thermal like an rh25/rl25/dnt hydra with an offset or stacked red dotProbably makes the most sense but it’s less than ideal for daylight usage.
>>64705388Please God no
My autism for this intense due to being destroyed by guys with thermals at an airsoft milsim event while all I had was my pvs14. Thermals are borderline cheating with how effective they are.
>>64705424Maybe a2 will tell us what to get.
>>64705441A2 just says the brick setup
>>64705446I’ll try some stupid stuff if you can wait a couple weeks.
semi-retarded question: for the 11.5 plan is to get an LPVO w/ 12 o'clock red dot for passive aiming. I would prefer a closed emitter. Is there a way to mount the PA hlx on the rmr mount for the badger ordnance c1/reptilia or would it be better off to get a P1 Acro?
why not go with an AGM Adder and then put a top dot on it? It uses a 30mm tube.I think the turrets may be too tall to clear a standard height top dot so you'd either have to use a spacer or an offset top dot like what larue makes
>>64705476Can you find the footprint dimensions PDF online? Iirc that helped determine a lot of compatibility for me
>>64705476On top of an lpvo you don’t need a pistol sized dot. You can just use a T2 or one of its many clones.
>>64705476get an elcan
>>64705424>>holosun thermalmaybe I'm retarded but my opinion is thermal red dot tech is gonna get better until we have a relatively weildy red dot to stack atop the usual (ACOG)
>>64705490t2 is lowkirkenuinely overkill for passive aim only and depending on where it's mounted could interfere with the elevation turret. >>64705491do not get an elcan. it will just end up on a mk18 upper anyway because it will be the upper and optic you use the least
>>64705496the FOV and image size is so ass on those things it's why no one uses them. There is only so much the tech can improve like refresh rate and image quality, neither of which do anything to help what makes a pistol dot size thermal bad to use. This should give you a pretty accurate impression of how underwhelming and useless it is for any practical application. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1p4Ha6n90FY
Holosun needs to update their thermal red dot with at least a 384
>>64705489Just double checked everything, I forgot the htx mounts onto the plate via a screw in the side of the optic, not top-down like traditional RMR footprint. So it should be gtg.>>64705490T2 as top dot is thicc and looks goofy ngl>>64705491Nah, I'd prefer a bit more magnification
>>64705496It’s called the FMP13 it already exists>>64705522That stupid thing wirelessly sends the thermal image to the red dot
>>64705538> FMP13Mars mini shits on it and i still wouldnt buy it>>64705525Might as well buy a sightmark wraith lmao
>>64705476Stacking a dot is just so you have a convenient 1x sight, why would you not use it for both passive & active aiming?
>>64705666You can’t use the wraith as a normal red dot
>>64705699And the holosun isnt a useable thermal
>>64705712The drs-th? It’s being used in ukraine extensively due to its low cost
>>64705717So is the sightmark wraith but im not a broke slav
>More FMP13 postingListen poorfags, youre posting the thermal equivalent of the sig msr 1-10 sfp or gideon optics. Its time to stop>>64705488Bad rechargableLong Dumb displayGood thinking though>>64705476How about a p2 acro???>>64705435>Thermals are borderline cheating with how effective they are.Preach
>>64705728Answer this anon>>64705424i might do the bottom one as well
shout out to the anon that mentioned putting a few cr123's in the sopmod for balancing, shit works like a charm>>64705697I would, just decided to say passive. it's not that deep anon>>64705728>P2haven't those had issues?
>>64705424>>64705732>low spec censorRH25 with a QD is really hard to argue against. Just accept your rifle is going to be heavy. You shouldnt be spending all day at low ready or walking around at low ready anyway so relax anon. >inb4 some dumb post about why save any weight then????>>64705739nah p2 is fine.>Balancing outDumb meme
>>64705739I ask as I've noticed some people in previous threads conflating the idea of "active vs passive aiming" with that of BAC/"both eyes open shooting". It's just an odd term to use in that way if being used correctly. The only difference using a dot for "passive only" is that you could consider cheaper options that don't have NV settings, which begs the question if why would you add a secondary optic you can only use part of the time?
>>64705739I have 3 p2s and they have been fine. I picked up my 1301 yesterday and it was in a room where my gf had weird lighting going on and i was getting some weird reflection inside of it. I wanna look at it after work to make sure its still good but im fairly confident it is. It would be kinda sad if less than 1k 12ga killed it. The one on my atacr and elcan have been fine though
>>64705749So the last option?
>>64705749>>64705758Fair enough, will probably grab one then since they'll actually be in stock compared to the htxI'd agree that balancing via batteries in the stock would be dumb but given that my 416 is like holding a brick taped onto a stick it actually helped.>>64705753passive aiming refers to aiming with NVG's anon, I might have missed it but I didn't see anyone using it the way you are stating.
>>64705728>Listen poorfags>you can't into thermals unless you're richSounds like the full auto boomers that whine about FRTs. And the ham boomers that whine about Baofends. And the... well, you get the gatekeeping response is typical cope.
>>64705764It makes the gun feel better and you have spare batteries it’s a win/win.
>>64705764Its the lack of nub on your grip, not the lack of batteries in your stock>>64705767>Telling you to not buy non functional trash is gatekeepingConfirmed anyone telling you to buy a g17 over a psa dagger is a gate keeping elitist!!!Thanks anon Ill get right to the shop and get a couple turknellis, taurus revolvers and police trade in p320s ASAP
>>64705764Yes I know, that's what I'm saying. People have been conflating the two so wanted to clarify that is not what you were asking, as "I'm using a dot for passive aiming only" doesn't make a lot of sense.
>>64705753>passive aiming >dot with no nv settings Wut>why have something designated to be secondary if you’re not using it primarily Let me guess, you don’t do well on tests
>>64705768agreed, takes up snack space though>>64705775i don't care how many feds you send i'm not putting an a2 back on my rifles>>64705776I see, nah I was just stating I wanted a 12 o'clock dot
>>64705796https://www.rooftopdefense.com/product/heckler-koch-battle-grip-for-mr556-hk-416/?????????
>>64705777I was assuming someone with NV would also run a laser for keeping active aiming capabilities. I misinterpreted his post as implying the lpvo would be used for active aiming and the dot would only be for passive (yes I am autistic). >>64705796gotcha gotcha
Anons thermal setups for under 2.5kMars lt1000 and offset dot Mars mini Stiener nighthunter s35 gen 2 with offset dotStiener c35 gen 2 coti and accept the jank mount options (smart clip/annex defense)Really you should just save for a rh25v2 or wait for better units while you save
>>64705775The way you reply to things is really faggy and I don't listen to any advice you give because of it. The estrogen from your ladyboys is seeping into your brain
>>64705775>non functional trashIf it's working, it's not nonfunctional. Stop being irrational.
>>64705802>Steiner anything>Posts sigshit wth PAI mean it tracks as a whole but Goddamn do NOT do ths.>>64705804Thats true, why would you need anything more than a PSA AR anyway?
>>64705799I won't lie to you I completely forgot the hk grip had a nub>>64705802holy shit you are brave posting this here>>64705803you get used to it once you realize he's been dealing with retards non-stop for the last decade
>>64705809Have you looked at the flip defense mount that was posted here last thread? It’s like a tall T2 mount with a hole through it so you can use a thermal underneath it. Curious about that one over an offset.
>>64705804A2 behaves like a histrionic woman
>>64705804First time here? His mentality is if it’s not the best thing ever it’s practically useless
>>64705530lucky for you they make an elcan with more magnification
>>64705809Pic is from snipers hide and for bait purposes. Would not recommend going through having to put up with the jank c35 coti mounts and generally would not recommend Steiner but these are basically just guide thermals with a Steiner shell. Steiner units have better images and have easier menus than rh25v2s making them easier to sight in for people new to this. Id lean towards the mars products desu, the lack of noticable nucing and great prices for the specs make them attractive.
>>64705826>>64705838Perhaps any credibility I gave him was over emphasized. 1 demerit for not acknowledging that a $500 unit peforming at 75% of a $5000 unit has a viable cost/value/reward merit figure.>>64705809>Thats trueA2 response?
>>64705802The pa also has an adm mount ur favorite :)
What kind of thermal units does Israel use?
If someone has a PVS and RH25 what is the correct set up?PVS14 on non dominant eye + rh25 on rifle would mean that one could >Walk around as normal and use active aiming if need be>Have dominant eye free to use weapon mounted COTI if need be >If someone is using a stacked dot it also leaves the dot free to use as normal in daylight/bright conditions or with white light if need be So you'd have 3 aiming solutions in different conditions available: active IR, thermal, and standard red dot with white light optionalThis set up heavily prioritizes rifle use though. So I guess if budget allows a supplemental monocular for scanning would be optimal. >monkeythinking.jpeg
the only acro anyone should be buying
>>64705885Millennials stuck in 2010 give me severe second hand embarrassment
>>64705901It was just a better time. (And the year I graduated high school)
>>64705884Having a thermal for scanning is huge. Whether it's clipped to your tube or bridgedYou'll want a lightweight bridge and housing/glass or the weight can be an issue with a multi function unit like rh25. Renvc pretty slick but there's some interesting stuff coming in this area.>bottom line is you'll need 2 thermals, one for the rifle and one for scanning if you want to passive aim
>>64705940Ive triend helmet mounted and i fail to see why anyone would want that over a monocular
>>64705945It just gives me a headache
>>64705945Bigger sensor and recording is about it
>>64705884>>64705940>>64705809Every time I think I understand what I should be shopping for when it comes to thermals I get confused again. Feels like the only real way is to have enough cash to have several thermal systems and setups, and then figure out which works best, which would just take a stupid amount of money for an increasingly niche use case. Thermals are basically cheating but it's hard to justify spending all that guap to figure out the best setup to win airsoft matches.ReeeeI just wasted an hour trying to turn a weapons.img .wdr and .wdt GTA mod folders into a single embedded .wdr folder to use the gun mod for cutscenes and just failed tremenedo. I give up!
>>64704837not everyone buy's these things with the intent to completely hide their visual signature because they aren't planning on going into combat. Sometimes the weight savings is a greater consideration. Aren't you supposed to be smart?
>>64705813>ou get used to it once you realize he's been dealing with retards non-stop for the last decadespare me
>>64706020No he didn't even bother to ask and can't admit it
>>64705802Oh, i forgot this gem,https://www.eurooptic.com/steiner-nighthunter-h35-gen-ii-handheld-35mm-thermal-sight-9524?srsltid=AfmBOopkG1m41ciMp5i648Jz2N0B8Lnnn8FepEk3uTqggqufw91or6UpGood budget handheld scanner. This is probably the cheapest way to get into the game without wasting your money. $1300 for a 640 monocular is pretty damn good. Overall, for a booger eater situation you want a unit without the bluetooth wifi shit imo and the big mars gets big points for that
>>64705868Interesting litmus test. Probably free ones.
>>64706058Free for them. I paid for them.
>>64706001I am just experimenting with different setups that don’t use thermal and then thinking how thermal could compliment it rather than the other way around.For example, when wearing a PVS14 on non dominant eye there is a gap left open with regards to passive aiming meaning it’s not possible.Thermal addresses this by circumventing it altogether arguably superseding it by adding in an entirely new visual segment or spectrum altogether so now you’ve got plain eyesight which can be supplemented with white light if need be, IR spectrum for navigation and/or active aiming, and thermal.I may try this out once I have $5,000 to burn on an RH25v2.
>>64705826>A peacock on a treadmill.Such is the life for a tripfag, always seeking attention.
>>64706066you meant complement but I know what you meant. Please let us know. We need more visionaries
>>64706066I’m thinking of just buying a used RH25v2 from a forum like snipershide or arfcom.
>>64706084Good move. What is your usecase for it? It is really a jack of all trades but doesnt really do anything better than decently

>>64704852>disgusting moral superiorityElaborate on this. Do you not think it significant that US right wing anti-zionists criticize Israel and Jews from a completely different moral framework and rationale (correct one) than left wing anti-zionists do (incorrect one)?>Did you even bother to ask>Just turn down and chamber your own chrome lined 1:6 .30 cal barrel yourself dood!Talk about a bad faith discussion. In good faith: If you buy a Tisha I hope you blow it apart but first generate a ton of footage showing the shitass spark signature so you can warn the rest of the community about the bullshit of these Ti cans. >>64705291>make an inconel one.Indeed they are. I'm very curious about the following. The Ti Tisha appears to be in a completely new auditory suppression performance paradigm, especially for its size, than previous cans. The pewscience faggot's 0-100 suppression rating scale I'm almost positive is linear, and the Tisha is showing legitimately 1.3x-1.5x the suppression of comparably sized competitors. What are the odds that they found this 30-50% performance increase in "baffle" geometry? I have a theory that they've designed the can to intentionally act as a sacrificial ablative, absorbing pressure and heat (and blowing it out the front lol) in order to achieve this new (and impressive) suppression performance. The Ti Tisha is 10.5oz, but SAW says the Inconel ones will be 16-18oz. This is a rather large increase as compared to other pairs of Ti/Inconel cans from other companies. I heard somewhere, reddit maybe, that the Inconel one will perform comparably in terms of suppression. A potential explanation then is that the Inconel version being unable to suppress by this "ablative" method, just needed a shitload more baffle material and geometry to achieve the suppression numbers, and so we get the huge weight increase. >Titanium is gay aidsI agree. >>64705316This is wgws bait.
>>64706115Don't forget 4/8 or 5/9 symtpoms is all it takes for the diagnosis.
Is up to 14x magnification a bit excessive for a 5.56 gun? I want to put a scope on my gun and I'm trying to figure out which I should bother trying to train with. Either a Leupold 4.5-14, or some cheap ass Nikon 3-9
>>64706147>This is wgws bait.Get over yourself. I don’t like my helmet mounted ear pro and I don’t use a radio so I’d rather just use decent in ear pro and call it a day
>>64706147So you never been bothered to call and ask?
>Doesn't bother asking around for custom work>gets mad someone points that outWhy is he like this guys
>>64706159honestly most of the options out there are cheap Chinese junk or wired monstrosities. wgws has ptsd from a harebrained nacre quietpro setup so he thinks that automatically makes in ear worthless, but even the invisio options are tough to do well just because the wire gets caught on everything unless you're always wearing a plate carrier and can really take the time to manage the cables. But, you don't need comms so I wouldn't worry about invisio. Peltor TEP-300s are about the best you can get, but they're expensive. Extremely good performance, but diminishing returns when you think about what you can get from surplus comtacs. Other than that, taking the hit on active ear pro and just going custom molded with the passthrough filters removed for situational awareness might be your best bet if you are really anti muff style ear pro.
>>64706194he's always been like this. ask /akg/ about his ak builds
>>64706147> Do you not think it significant that US right wing anti-zionists criticize Israel and Jews from a completely different moral framework and rationale (correct one) than left wing anti-zionists do (incorrect one)?Not even big boss but who are you to assume which is correct? Be warry of your hubris
>>64706158It’s more than needed, not too extreme though.
>>64706207Yeah it felt too ridiculous to even acknowledge, THAT is a bad faith question >intentionally using dishonest, unfair, or manipulative tactics in a discussion, not to find truth but to "win,"
>>64706197Nta but been considering these. Kinda sick of helmet mounts failing. Was gonna try a sordin neckband but i hear those suck too. Might just nut up and grab those and i could use them when me and my friends play music too
>>64706147Does it really matter who is correct if the end result is the same?
New meta for top mounting a dot with a thermal? >>64706147Its 2026 and people are still on left wing rightwing retard shit as if its not 2 sides of the same turd
>>64706158>cheap ass Nikon 3-9Nikons are equivalent to Leopold.
>>64706248>thermal meta Explain what that would accomplish that a red dot magnifier behind a thermal wouldn’t
>>64706248>as if its not 2 sides of the same turdThe American flag may have two sides, but is not a turd.
>>64706256>explain how 2x is heavier that 1xJust wow.
>>64706248Anon already posted this mount. I like the idea. I’d cancel the arisaka mount I ordered and grab one instead if it wasn’t out of stock.
>>64706260Thanks for proving my point by evading the question and showing you’ve put no thought into it
>>64705424>total brick>Holosun thermalAs much as I used to be a weight weenie (cycling term circa 2008), these days I don't mind additional weight because it legitimately helps with thermal and recoil management under FRT/SS/Auto. DRS TH is bad. Good direction, but bad execution. IMO the setup I'm working on is Elcan 1/4 with top dot and a smaller lighter COTI in front. I have been hoping that Polishsupremacist somehow snags a bunch of used AN PAS 23 thermals and recoil hardens them and somehow firmware flashes them so you can adjust the display X-Y orientation for optical alignment to the day optic. Would be a neat aesthetic way to get a lightweight 320 COTI, perhaps on the cheap if the AN PAS 23s themselves can be had for like $500-$1000 before modding, then $1250-$1750 after modding. >>64705476>get an LPVOStop>>64705525And more FOV and better smoothing/processing algorithm and sensitivity etc etc>>64705530>Surefire can>not the square bottom lower>A2 grip on a 416 thingEw>>64705739I hate this dumb ugly gun and you should feel bad for having any amount of near worthless USD tied up in it in 2026. >>64705802>offset dot>fixed 3x mag Useless setup>>64705884>correct setupGood question. It depend IMO on whether or not the setup has a high mount top piggybacked red dot. If it does, then PVS14 goes on dominant eye so you can quickly shoot passive. >>64705940>need 2Why not just scan with gun up?>>64706020>they aren't planning on going into combatOh I forgot the 2A is for hunting and "fun"Dirty casual attitude. Hate it, simple as. >>64706066This is why you get binos.
>>64706256Thermal clip on in front of a red dot with magnifier is ass. I’d rather just use the thermal stand alone with its built in reticles and have a stacked dot.
>>64706279dude I actually don't give a shit about you nor your opinions as you're a literal nobody, stop posting
>>64706285So why wouldn’t you just get a regular ACOG with an RMR that you can put the COTI in front of?>I want to use a standalone thermal So use an offset dot and a dedicated thermal. You don’t need passive aiming if you have a thermal.
>64706279>Meltdownposting
>>64706314A stacked dot like the one in that mount is superior to an offset dot. Plus if you remove the thermal you still have a perfectly usable set up while offset only would suck.
>>64706319Every day the brain damage becomes more apparent.
>>64706158>>64705430>CompM4 in 2026>No magnifier>Heavy shitty LMT upper>MAWL>Speaker mic>Rubberized gripEw>>64706158I would take 20-30x mag. Aim small miss small. That being said once the magnification makes the POA say more than a factor of 4-5x smaller than the actual maximum mechanical precision of the platform itself, one can argue diminishing returns. >>64706159I've had very good experiences overall with the Nacre Quietpro. They're old as fuck now, but correspondingly cheap. I bought a friend a set as a gift for like $50. Silynx are nicer but are going to run $150-$250. >>64706192>if I keep saying it, it'll be funnyOnce again, you're not even engaging in a good faith discussion about this.>>64706207>assume which is correctNo assumptions being made, but careful logical analysis of the arguments.

>>64706279>every gun and gun accessory has to be geared toward maximum combat efficiency only, no other purposewow that a great take. I'm assuming all the pictures you post of inefficient, outdated optics, components, guns and gear are purely example images you found on google images. I mean, you couldn't have purchased them for "fun" right? you aren't a dirty casual, every single dollar of your hard earned money goes into preparing for the boog, not ever into just simply funding a hobby or collection. You do own a thermal right, and no extraneous guns like clone RPKs or Chinese sagas?
>>64706464They made a post about the October 7th attack, everyone on Instagram and FB started attacking them then their fame slowly died off. >this is legit what happened the posts are still up
>>64706464all of their stuff can be functionally replicated with a bottle cap. They stopped printing their actual cool stuff like NVG caps, but Chinese people sell them on eBay for much cheaper.
They raised their prices to 50 bucks for a fucking 3d printed light cap what kind of mental illness is this?
>>64706359If you want
>>64706524This is your brain on judiasm broI designed a TPU cap for the malkoff heads. If it doesn't melt I'll release the STL>>64706279You been taking lions mane for all those brain bruises?
>>64706359I have both, triggers are pretty similar but the Geissele has a smidge lighter trigger pull. I wouldn't buy the G$ over an MBT-2S if I had the choice but it wouldn't be a bad buy
>>64706279>these days I don't mind additional weight because it helps>>64706332>heavy shitty LMTLadies and gentlemen, the infamous Wuggy
I was gonna do 3 back to back 60 round mags as fast as I can reload them with my shitty dying 10.5 aero upper today
>>64706577Already did that and printed several of them. Only thing I didn’t like was if you ND the front glows really visibly so I put a Velcro liner to stop that.
>>64706601He has brain damageLike actual brain damage I'm not trying to be funny
Some company designed a silencer that cools itself using some weird voodoo
Where do I got to get an actual decent M16A1 clone upper? Is H&R still the best for the money? Not really keen on giving PSA money. I saw another company that makes clones and they offered 1:12 twist barrels, I dont know much about ballistics and shit. I assume everything nowadays is 1:7 for a reason, but is there any downside to 1:12? Not like I plan to use an M16 as a duty type of gun anyways
>>64706632From what?
>>64706632well aware of the concussions.
>>64706338>Will you condemn?! Will you denounce?! Answer the question!!Your bad faith engagement is appallingly obvious. I'll engage in good faith, as I genuinely like talking shop. As much as I would like a custom length 8.73" 1:6 twist chrome lined 300blk AR barrel, I have neither the skills nor expertise to make one, and the availability and cost is undoubtedly not worth the time nor effort given that I can proceed with the build (as I am) along a couple of alternative routes, making concessions admittedly in other places, but getting the job done to a degree I'm perfectly happy with, at least in the meantime. I ended up snagging a cheap as fuck ($55 shipped) 250rnd count used Ballistic Advantage 1:7 twist 9" barrel, nitride, but once again, $55 shipped. I'll use that to evaluate other aspects of the build (feel free to ask if you're in good faith interested, ye brown fat fuck), and to see how the aesthetics of the entire endeavour come together. Until then, a custom sicko 1:6 twist chrome lined ideal profile and barrel length 300blk barrel will have to weight (and the dirty dumb machinist scum that might profit from that will I guess go hungry, oh well). >>64706350I like to think I try pretty hard, and even if objectively speaking I'm not, the fact that I in good faith think I am is worth something no? Isn't the very essence of trying hard a matter of subjective experience? Maybe not though lol>>64706351Product improved hardened COTI alignment capable AN PAS 23 or SKEETIR type thing would be more aesthetic, but you're right functionally that is a solid setup I agree. DNT HS635 better value than RH25V2 though. >>64706390All posts ought to have images. This is good for board health. >>64706397G$ CH are shit and slippery unironically.
>>64706643literally multiple concussions, self reported.
>>64706641
>>64706661Okay so you didn't call to get a quote on a custom barrel work, got it. That was the original accusation if you recall
>>64706641>>64706665>$1,349fuck my stupid nigger life
>>64705901I was calling them fags back then too.
>>64706641fuck that i prefer to burn my legs and melt my bedliner and my range bag onto my can.niggas don't even want to waste $25 on an Ove Glove that they never use but still haul back and forth to the range for 15 years anymore.
Between A2, Wuggy, and Cabron everyone is so angry. Cheer up guys. It's the holiday season! It's a new year! A new beginning!
>>64706679now that Fishy is gone everyone here is full of anger and no more whimsy that he brought to this retched place...
>>64706677I destroyed a $200 pair of pants with my silencer.
>>64706679I'm upset I can't talk shop with vish anymore
>>64706686well what do you expect from people when they are constantly excluded from the collages and being ridiculed for having an unpainted rmr?
>>64706677Besides that it's pretty neat that the can wouldn't glow under NODS that much after mag dumps. 85 degrees is pretty impressive.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Xd5vKMnn70
>>64706601Fucking lol got meIn my defense I have been critical of heavy carbines for for over a decade now, and have only come to appreciate passive recoil mitigation by way of weight in just the past couple of months with the advent of FRTs and SS, so it might take some time for the disparate hemispheres of my smooth move brain to push the new updates across. >>64706505Gearing "towards" maximum combat efficiency only is not the same thing as actually achieving it. Holding multiple priorities at once within a hierarchy is totally valid. Don't take me for an absolutist in this sense. That is more A2s flavor, and even then he enjoys himself plenty with various collector pieces. Gearing towards maximum fun only with no other purpose is however NOT the same degree nor type of irrationality as the straw man position you're describing, but is additionally meaningless as compared to it. I sold my handheld scanning thermal. Waiting on COTI market offerings. >RPKs or Chinese SaigasThe Chinese Saigas all blew apart unironically. I don't have an RPK, but all of my AKs are intended to be fully capable carbines with suppressors and NVG compatible red dots etc and legitimate reliability. This is what they are intended to be, as in a goal. >>64706577No but I put baby bellas in my green chile bolognese >>64706665Maybe it works. Maybe it is bullshit, most likely somewhere in between.
>>64706691Go to r/liberalgunowners if you want to talk about guns with troons

>>64706679Do not confuse scolding you for being retarded with anger>>64706661Idk I've had this 300blk barrel since ~2018 and it seems to work just fine at 1:7>>64706716>lions maneSeriously you should add it, some brain matter benefits>>64706724He's had a few crash outs, probably from injecting hormones and rekt adrenals et al>>64706686Fish.ai hasn't fixed solving the new capatcha, 4ch put hidden values in the 'pick X number of Y' field so it can never finish the capatcha>he's actually just at work and the new brown baddie he's chasing takes all his attention
>>64705424Infitac made an ACOG-like thermal that lets you stack or offset a micro dot

>>64706816Well don't buy it from chyna or poojeetlandHigher risk of heavy metals
>>64706816just sprinkle some on your pizza with the parm and chilli flakes
>>64706794Fishy caught a pedo case cuz the 21 he was fucking turned out to really be 17. He will probably be fine but shits a little messy rn and hes understandably stressed
>>64706716Toward is correct in American English, but I appreciate the attempted subtle dig. Anyway, if we are talking about straw men, you're the one who implied that ones hierarchy is focused solely on maximum fun with no other purpose, even though a suppressor that isn't maximally valuable for your idea of combat use fits within a separate priority of the hierarchy, by your own logic. So your original statement is meaningless since it's really only meant to be provocative and performative.
>>64706665>5-10 degree increase for 5-10rnd vs 120 degree increase for 10rndsOkay so it works. Gay and dumb that they didn't do more temp gun measurements and comparisons for various round counts. Later in the vid they show another 10-15rnd dump and the RC3 is around 290deg while the Ambient can is at 185deg and IMO that isn't that impressive of a temperature reduction. >Ti cansLame sparky shit though until proven otherwise. >>64706849>subtle digNah bro I'm way too autistic for that. I didn't mean it that way at all. I put "toward(s)" in quotes to call out the importance of the use of the word as a verb, like italics almost, similar to how you put "fun" in quotes. I'm trying to articulate that it is about intention and a general direction that a final end result. >hierarchy is focused solely on maximum fun with no other purposeNo no, if there is no fun, and it is focused solely, then it isn't a hierarchy of priorities, it is just a single priority, which isn't what I believe in, and in as much that is a strawman. What I do believe in though are certain binary thresholds for performance below which no mater what your hierarchy of priorities might look like, certain "objects" that are attempting to be guns, will not be guns (or suppressors for that matter). I used to view it as a continuous spectrum but this sort of binary or more closely approximating a binary distinction is an analytical framework that honestly A2 taught me, and that I'm still learning to apply. >provocative and performativeNot at all. I'm arguing in good faith here about Titanium suppressors. NONE developed so far perform above the threshold necessary for them to be an option, no matter what your hierarchy of priorities looks like, unless you're not analyzing from the perspective of a hierarchy but rather irrationally holding "fun" or I guess "hunting" as the sole priority for the suppressor.
>>64706840Ayoo?!?!? Blud is Diddystein?!?!?
>>64706329That’s how it works. As you get older it really starts to show. When he gets to his 60-70’s it’s going to be quite difficult to wrangle him.
Low key wanna try something stupid like shooting n diving like in cowadooty today
>big tex ordnance shut downWhat the fuck? I've been ordering shit from those people forever
>>64706908what's the threshold?
>>64706908> I'm arguing in good faith here about TitaniumPest control and hunting are more practical than your gay little larp fantasys. “Ti supressors dont fit my usecases”, there you go retard, not everything needs to fit in your faggy framwork. Also please shut the fuck up about thermal, you sound more retarded than usual
>>64706464Shill budget ran out.
>>64706147>The pewscience faggot's 0-100 suppression rating scale I'm almost positive is linearwhy are faggots all up in arms about who seems to be the only one on the planet to bother measuring suppressors? is it because it shows surefire's slop is antiquated and shown up by cheaper cans?
I got a laser, now i need those sweet sweet binos and a pc for maximum larpping in the suburbs.
>>64707114A2 says uhhh bad
>>64706670Did you really have to ask 20 times when it was obvious he wasn’t going to do that?
>>64707114>only oneTBAC tests a shit ton of cans.https://thunderbeastarms.com/sound/summit2025/https://thunderbeastarms.com/sound/summit2024/Silencer Syndicate and Silencer Analytics as well. Analytics is the current active channel. https://www.youtube.com/@SilencerSyndicatehttps://www.youtube.com/@SilencerAnalytics/videos
>>64707114honestly because he sounds like a complete fucking loser. Go ahead, listen to his podcast.
>>64707179It still blows me away that a guy as big and on roids as him sounds like a nasally nerd
>>64707185sounds like wuggy
>>64707185Also his shit isnt peer reviewed, he said the flow 556k sounded so good when its well documented how it really sounds. How do i know he doesnt just shill for whoever pays him for a good review?Second the “data and measurement are proprietary”. Thats about as legit as getting data from wuggy
>>64707201Hux cans sound like a regular gun shot with the volume turned down so it doesn't have that nish psshhh sound so many people are used to They still meter okish depending on the modelThe flow 556 full sized does sound really good same with the flow 762 its the 556K thats still on the louder side
>>64707146Sometimes repetition is about driving the point home through very thick skulls like his
>>64707201That's my problem with him. If he just published his methods just like TBAC does here >>64707154 so his results can be replicated by others it would make him more credible. Instead he just doubles down on wanting to keep everything secret.
>>64706794>work just fine at 1:7Genuinely curious what do you mean by work just fine, please elaborate. I'm interested in a 1:6 in order to stabilize heavy heavy subs, 238gr and 242 grain like these ones below, and potentially to net whatever potential, key word potential, additional terminal effect the increased rotation energy provides. https://phantomdefense.co/300-aac-blackout-big-brother-242-gr-subsonic-maker-rex-nas3-1-5-twist-only-50-ct/I bugged phantom defense about why they say these rounds require a 1:5 twist. Is it necessary to stability to prevent baffle strikes, or is that the twist necessary to achieve the advertised gel effects? Is that twist rate requirement relaxed for slightly longer barrels say 7.5" to 9" vs 5.5"-6.5" barrels? I am pretty sure 1:6 would be ideal because people relatively consistently report that 1:5 twist barrels, especially longer than say 8", will spin up 110-125gr supers to the point that the jacket will separate and shred from lead core copper jacket drawn projectiles. This precludes being able to shoot basic bitch like Magtech 125gr which isn't ideal. >>64707098>Pest control and hunting are more practical than your gay little larp fantasys.Real /k/ommando hours over here. >>64707114Lol I hate Surefire slop. I very much believe in objective measures of suppressor performance. What I hate about the pewscience bullshit faggot is that he is dressing up what I am pretty sure is just the same basic dB pressure reading measurement that everyone else has been doing for decades as some super special sauce analysis, and he intentionally obscures this reality because he he stands to gain financially from what is basically false advertising. You can show that Surefire slop is shown up by newer cheaper can using basic dB pressure measurements, but honestly personally I think one of the best ways to compare suppressors is how Silencer Analytics does it, using subjective consensus building and large sample sizes of comparison.
>>64707225The silencer analytics guy is super friendly he's actually near me and I met him at an eventI like how he tests flash and the other shit that pew science doesn't do
Is the RC4 an actual new silencer design or did they just slap a new endcap on the RC3?
>>64707225I think you should kill yourself
>>64705372The m203 is so sexy but civies can't own grenade launchers so what would a modern "functional" m203 be? A flashlight?
>>64707321watchu mean lil nigga? You can buy one right now it's an NFA item.
>>64707321If m203s give you that much of a hardon, just buy a 37mm cope launcher, bolt it to your rifle, struggle to convince youself that the extra bulk and weight is totally worth the cool points, then after a couple week, maybe months, quietly remove it from you rifle and hide it deep inside your closet or try and pawn it off on some other immature idiot. That's the standard cycle.
