don't waste your money on it. just get a 7mm Rem Mag if you want a magnum 7. 7BC is a cartridge that in 10 years people will be selling for $20 per shell on cartridge collectors forums.

Already have a 7mm rem mag a Ruger bolt. It's an Alaskan thing turns your shoulder purple with the quickness. It's not as bad as my 416 but I digress.

The ammo geek in me just was like ohhh the BC looks cool.

No crying in the casino!

It's my party I'll cry if I want to, cry if I want to... cry if... geez I'm dating myself aren't I?

Should just repeal the whole NFA '34, but one step at a time.

George Washington comes to me in my dreams and tells me to buy a SAW he said "dude that shit looks based" in his old English accent.

Got back from the range, the KAK suppressor only AR upper I got ain't fuckin working I think I need to swap out springs and buffers and I've definitly got the wrong angle of locking piece for my ap5k to work with the frt. wonderful.

So I put 500 more rounds through the vp9cc! What a hoot to shoot!

For me it's Benjamin Franklin in a parody of the SitCom in RoboCop, drunk from partying with two aristocratic floozies clinging to his arms, laughing raucously and telling my to buy a Knights Armament LAMG because "I would enthusiastically purchase that for a shilling!"

"ETS Group C.A.M. Universal Rifle Magazine Loader"

these are at academy, I like them because they support 556 and 9mm(colt/scorpion) magazines

that one looks like it only supports 556

I've been meaning to 3d model this, it looks like it would be pretty easy to print.

I'm rewatching Band of Brothers rn and enjoying all the gunplay. Just noticed something on episode 2:


If I'm not mistaken, their .30-06 Clips are loaded backwards. it's in quick cuts but you can see them trying to reload their M1's and failing. Interestingly enough they actually do try to remediate by getting another clip.

 

[WhatInTheActualFuck]

A month and change and counting on my SBR Form 1s. I'm a little annoyed mostly because my suppressors were approved so fast, but I did use the time to pretty much finish out my 11.3" AR upper:



Technically, I'm swapping out the tapeswitch for a Unity Tactical Axon in a few days when my Primary Arms package gets here, but y'all get the idea.

 

[WhoBusTank69]

If I'm not mistaken, their .30-06 Clips are loaded backwards.

Those are blanks because it's a live-fire scene and they didn't pick a good enough angle to hide the crimped case neck.

Well, something fucky was going on with their clips because they couldn’t get them in.

They’re actors, not combat soldiers

"'Alcohol reduces the accuracy of rifle fire. When you are sober, 7/100 shots are misses. When alcohol is consumed the night before shooting and accompanied by half a glass of vodka on the day: 27/100 shots are misses", USSR, 1930s
Honestly just thought this would be kind of interesting to post here.

BS!
Just like driving I shoot way better after a six pack!

They were trained fairly extensively prior to filming, and it shows in the rest of the show except for this one scene which is why it stood out

They say that about every war movie. I wouldn’t trust Jon Bon Jovi to operate a submarine though

Neither would I, the documentary they filmed during and before filming the showed it the prep they did. I believe a week or two weeks for authenticity in gear, movement and shooting. Dale dye (portrayed col. sink in the show) was the military consultant.

To be honest, I can't say I've always been 100% sober before a trip to the range...

I’m sure it helped, but doesn’t mean everything took. After all, the show wasn’t perfect and it were to believed, the Albert Blythe that fought in the Korean War was the ghost of the man that died in Normandy.

Your average Joe can fumble a Garand reload once in a while, it's not impossible.

It’s diverges from reality quite a bit for sure. Lt Dike wasn’t actually a coward at Foy. He was shot which is why Spiers replaced him. Everyone disliked Nixon except winters. Moose hyliger was shot because harry welsh was drunk on duty. Far as I can tell Spiers’ depiction is the closest to reality. He did shoot the prisoners, he did shoot sgt carington, and he did run through enemy lines at foy. The whole story is filtered through the biased and aged minds of winters, Lipton, guarnere and Heffron. Their distaste for some others taints their recollection and thus the book and show

It is still a fantastic show, I’d argue almost perfect from a structure point of view.

I'd probably fumble a Garand reload too if everything around me was exploding and the air was on fire.

I doubt it's even the actors fault, it was almost certainly the props department who loaded those clips
