Super happy to finally build my AR-47
(hexbear.net)
Maybe this will be a bit on the identifying side, but I've been wanting to build my first ar-15 for like 6 years now. Once I finally had the money and was looking at the parts though, I thought:
: The primary advantages of the 5.56 cartridge is that it's small size and light weight allow you to carry lots on your person, and pack many rounds into one magazine.
: Since you live in a place with a 10-round magazine limit and are not a soldier on the march, neither of these benefits particularly benefit us. Perhaps a caliber less hampered by the laws of man would be more suitable.
: If we are to be limited to ten bullets, they should be ten of the biggest bullets you can stuff into a magazine
: Well, the biggest round that's both controllable and affordable, of course
: Yeah, yeah...
: One such caliber comes to mind immediately. An icon of the last century that survives, dinosaur-like into this one. Portable-ish, light enough, renowned for it's killing power, and extant in vast surplus war staches throughout the world. The 7.62 by 39.
:Comrade bullet! That 230-grain pencil lead that has signed countless uprisings and revolutions! Millions have carried it like a companion on the path to total human liberation; now it's your turn.
: It may not have the same velocity as the 5.56, but it's twice the weight and has better terminal ballistics. Which is to say, a more dramatic and horrifying effect on a target.
: And the kick! We've fired an AR-15 before, remember? It was like a baby space gun, hardly any kick! You need something bigger, something that'll remind you you're alive!!
:Okay, sounds like the big bullet is for me. Aren't AKs pretty expensive though?
: These days, there are all sort of things you can do with hybrid parts. We can build an AR15 that fires AK47 rounds and feeds from AK47 magazines.
Conceptualization-Easy (success): An AR-47, if you will.
: If we make it from parts, we'll have to make the grip and stock ourselves. We can practice our woodworking and engraving!
: I'm pretty sure they have those things for sale too
: Nope, we must. It will be beautiful and custom, or we will not do it.
: Lasered wooden furniture, hybrid appearance, brass fittings...people are going to wonder why and how some sort of 1920s vampire hunter has made it onto a modern day range. Best wear your most stylish coat.
: A beautiful mutant for a beautiful mutant: how fitting.
So now I'm waiting to pick up my hybrid AR lower that takes AK mags, and slap it on the upper I got. Then it's woodshop time baybee
The British military can't even stop crashing their own ships into each other like a bunch of stupid orks
I do in fact have to hand it to him: if more libs could admit when they were wrong like this,, they might not be libs for long, and we wouldn't have to keep clowning on them.

I did a podcast with my friend. Being as impartial as I can, I would put it at about 35-40% of a Kill James Bond, but you get almost twice as much of it so it's like the grog to their ale. Mostly riffing, solid background noise/10 with Shrieking Shack characteristics. In terms of audio quality I made every rookie mistake, so if you make it through you're officially a troop
Honestly pleased as punch to have this as my first attempt. I needed something that could keep my attention while I quite smoking (the severe ADHD doesn't help either) and not only did I find it, but now I have an entire new skillset to hone.
This fucks, way better use of 22 billion dollars than usual
Fr, bush did to Iraq, with bombs and white phosphorous, what liberals think Putin is doing to Ukraine right now
During the time of the US occupation of Afghanistan, opium from the region comprised a full 90% of the world's heroin supply. So I would say "the same thing they've been doing since at least the days of the Vietnam War and the Golden Triangle."
The indigenous inhabitants and the 10,000 or so dissidents that they put in camps at the beginning of their incredibly democratic four decades of martial law.
When I am exposed to multiple people who disagree with me, that's brigading
You are obviously pro-China (...). That makes you a Chinese bot.
At long last, we've reached the molten core of psychotic liberal solipsism
Nah, the real danger is the result of repeated cumulative reinfection damage from a still-poorly-understood virus that causes more and more damage to the vascular system and every organ connected to it. Long Covid is only beginning to be recognized for the mass disabling event it is, and the response of governments from the municpal all the way to the federal levels have been to let it rip, stop testing, shut down tracking sites, repeal mask mandates, and declare victory. Literally doing the thing they rightly mocked Trump for suggesting.
Now over a million people have died in the US alone, and our government has decided to force everyone back to work to sustain commercial real estate profits, and in the process condemned us all to a lifetime of body-destroying reinfections by a virus who's key traits are infectiousness and rapid evolution.
None of this had to happen. We could have had a real quarantine, just a month or two back in 2019, but that would require making slightly less money for a brief period of time, so instead we get to live in eternal plague world. The hobbling of any effective covid response by our ruling class in favor of more lucrative half-measures and non-measures is beyond a humanitarian disaster, it's a crime of unprecedented scale.
Idk what people are so worried about, I've been assured that the pandemic is over and we beat covid in ~~2020~~ ~~2021~~ ~~2022~~ ~~2023~~

Something about the picture of a crying young woman, the word choice of "humbled" and the publication this is in is giving me the distinct impression that this was written for bosses and Scott Adams/David Sedaris types to metaphorically jerk off to the humbling of those naive kids who think they're too good for poverty.
