Here’s a “life-hack” for you. Apparently concentrated Kool-Aid can be used as a pretty effective leather dye. I was making a drink while cutting the snaps off some new straps for my pauldrons and I got curious, so I tried it, thinking, “ok even if this works, it will just wash out.” Nope. It took the “dye” (undiluted) in about 3 seconds. After drying for about an hour and a half, it would not wash off in the hottest tap-water. It would not wash out after soaking for 30 minutes. It did not wash out until I BOILED it, and even then, only by a tiny bit and it gave it a weathered look that was kind of cool. Add some waterproofing and I’d wager it would survive even that. That rich red is only one application too. Plus it smells great, lol. So there you go, cheap, fruity smelling leather dye in all the colors Kool-Aid has to offer.

I’m just gonna be the devil’s advocate that what x person says, does, believes in, or reblogs about does not change the fact that they are right.

It is absolutely none of your business. They are free to not tell you and you are free to not engage with them. Because in case you forgot, we live in a free society. A free society where people are allowed to make their own decisions regarding their own healthcare.

But on that note, I’d kill to see how many of you are pro choice.

MBA Gyrojet, or, Teeny Tiny Little Rockets

Patrick handed me a note from upper management and told me to start with something special. Thanks, Patrick. Okay lemme just open up the parcel here and...oh goddammit.

(Warning: this is a comedy blog about guns, nothing posted here is meant to offend or cause harm. If you find guns triggering, please do not read further. If you would like to know more about failed experiments in firearms, please click 'read more'. Thank you!)

In the 1960s a little company called MBAssociates was formed, and their first ever flagship product was to be a gun called the Gyrojet.

Look at this thing. Now, you might notice on the box that it says "Automatic Rock-" and then it cuts off, well, lemme tell you that this little pistol fired 12mm rockets instead of conventional ammunition. In a pistol. In 1965. These "Micro Rockets" as they were called by MBAssociates were teeny tiny little dudes at about twelve milimeters in diameter, and worked by igniting their payload of rocket fuel after being fired. Meaning it took about a tenth of a second for the bullet to reach terminal velocity after leaving the barrel. Sounds cool, right?

It is cool! Inherently cool, so cool that the designers sent one to Gene Roddenberry to use on Star Trek once (he declined), and they were even tested with the United States Armed Forces (they also declined)

Now, why isn't this more popular? Why did it never catch on? Well let me tell you a little secret about firearms design: its pretty much been perfected. We know how to send a tiny piece of metal flying past the speed of sound using the power of explosions, and adding further steps to that process tends to make it any of these things: A.) Expensive B.) Fragile C.) Incredibly difficult to make D.) Redundant

Unfortunately in the Gyrojet's case, it was somehow all of those things. Bullets already went really fast without the aid of rocket propellant, making bullets with rocket fuel is really expensive and takes a ton of intense machining, the design wasn't yet perfected for the pistol or the rocket rounds meaning they had a failure rate that was far too high even for the military, and it was redundant. Because in the time it took for one of the Gyrojets bullets to hit the target, the target already lived a good full life and passed peacefully in it's sleep surrounded by loved ones.

Why do I hate it? I don't, actually, I think the MBA Gyrojet is one of the coolest guns ever made. But, cool factor doesn't make it more useful in the real world unfortunately. Maybe one day we'll experiment with microrockets again and the Gyrojet will finally have its day in the sun, but for now? It's stuck underground with me.

Next Time: A beautiful design that was too good for this world.

I say he got what was coming.

Put yourself in her shoes: She looks to be a young woman, and this much stronger man is angry at her for something that so small. She tries to leave before the situation escalates, despite the fact he’s already violated her property by opening her car door and attempting to enter. Instead of walking away, he tries again to escalate conflict and attempts to drag her out of the car it looks like, and takes two the torso, because she definitely had reason to fear for her life.

In conclusion: Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Thoughts?

i have never watched rwby but im impressed with your arms choices for story purposes, as a writer myself.

Alright part two to my earlier post of mixing my two hyper fixations cause I liked making it this time team alpn

Jaune arc

Now my pick for jaune is a bit of a weird pick but I can explain probably badly the colt detective special a weapon used by both criminals and the police now jaune is a huntsmen so kinda makes him law enforcement but he’s also a out and out criminal colt detective special was often used for self defense because of its compact size I think this lends to jaune as a defender of others also imagining jaune as a 1940s detective is funny

Lie ren

Now I choose the Aps stechkin or ren I actually almost gave it to Jaune because of its use by police in tandom with ballistic shields but decided to give it to ren for a few reasons one it was often used suppressed by special forces which lends to his ninjaniss as well as his soft spoken nature and obviously like storm flower it’s a machine pistol there’s actually video of these being fired akimbo style the final reason is actually there blisteringly high rate of fire to me that lends to rens repressed anger

The video I mentioned it’s of my crush favorite YouTuber

https://youtu.be/0_IwA0aR3p8

Oscar pine

For Oscar I chose the ruger 10/22 a 22 caliber rifle (the one shown is a bit fancy I chose it cause long memory is so fancy ) loved by many for its low cost and reliability it’s widely used for hunting and recreational shooting I chose this gun for Oscar because it’s simple and reliable and just as a bonus often used by farmers for pest control it’s a humble rifle that has been modified for many uses it was never built for

Nora Valkyrie

I chose the ags 30 the biggest gun on this list also the most destructive it is a 30mm grenade machine gun I chose this for obvious reasons it’s explosive projectile being an anolog to her grenade launcher as well as her explosive personality also it's a team weapon because like the ags 30 Nora is best when around her team

Jesse what the fuck are you talking about

My friend from AZ had weasels, good knives, and a gun. Of course the thing about guns is everyone has to have one, but then it's like, what's there point? We now all have to have guns to be Respected? Just another expenditure. In my head ferrets are pets weasels are wild animals, but really it should be the opposite since weasels are. Smaller? You know? I want to see a weasel. I literally can't believe she had weasels, this things are dangerous (but not ferrets), like.

I maintain the best home defense weapon is an AR pistol/SBR.

The problem with handguns is a lack of stopping power. On higher power handguns, despite ease of use in close quarters, you have to worry about impractical circumstances, such as ammo capacity or controllability. And with shotguns as is another popular choice, you also have to worry about collateral damage.

I believe a sub-carbine size AR fits this perfectly. It is small enough to be handled reasonably well in a confined area, with the stopping power of a rifle, and a high ammo capacity. On top of that, they are notoriously controllable with minimal recoil.

With that in mind, you make the decision that is best for you, but consider those.

What’s the Difference Between AK-47 & AR-15 Rifles?

2020 has been a rough year for everyone and because of the long-overdue lockdowns, riots and political unrest created apprehensions. With this, keeping the best weapon for defense is the right choice to protect you and your property. 

The two of the best defense weapons are the AR-15 and the AK-47 and our team dug the rabbit hole for thorough research on the difference.

AR15 vs. AK47: How Do They Differ?

AR-15 is an Armalite rifle designed by Eugene Stoner for the Vietnam War but went through growing pains, so the Colt produced it. AK-47 is an assault rifle by Mikhail Kalashnikov made for the Soviet Union. It is a lightweight and 30% more precise gun compared to the AK-47. It also has a higher maximum effective range compared to AK-47. In addition to this, it has a very easily managed recoil with a direct impingement system. 

However, AK-47 is more dependable and way cheaper than AR-15. The full-auto by Mikhail Kalashnikov is extremely reliable even after heavy use and minimal maintenance. AK-47 is easier to operate and fieldstrip and comes with great stopping power.

A Closer Look At Their Differences

Function

AK-47 is a full-automatic rifle (assault rifle), while AR-15 is a semi-automatic rifle. AKs are easier to operate and to learn compared to ARs. It was designed for easy functions since most Soviet Union troops were uneducated. It is gas-operated with a long-stroke gas piston, while ARs utilize the gas impingement system. 

AR-15 is a gas-operated and complicated weapon, but the ergonomics of this rifle are impressive. The charging handle and bolt catch are more efficient compared to AKs. The operation needs the right technique to be learned through training. In addition to this, the ambidextrous design of this AR allows the rifle to operate efficiently. 

 Ammo

The biggest difference between the two rifles is the ammo. The AK fires 7.62 x 39 ammunition while the AR accommodates 5.56 and 223 Remington. The 7.62 is at 2,350 feet per second, while the 5.56 can reach 3,000 feet per second. 

The round of an AR-15 may be relatively small, but it is three times faster than a handgun bullet [1]. It can do entirely different kinds of violence to the human body, and you don’t want these popular calibers to shoot you.

Accuracy

One of the biggest debates between the two rifles is accuracy, but AR-15 is more precise than AK-47, with 30% based on our team’s research. The direct impingement, barrel, and bolt of ARs give more precise shots. 

The AKs in the 16″ barrel are two to five MOA, while the ARs in the 16″ barrel are one to three MOA, making the latter one more accurate than the other. The tighter tolerances of AR make the rifle more precise than AK.

Effective Range

The effective range of the AR-15 is longer than the AK-47. The semi-auto AR-15 has a 400-600 yards effective range, while the full-automatic AK-47 has a 300-400 yards effective range. The barrel generates more recoil that can affect the accuracy of your shots on direct rapid-fire even at shorter distances.

The couple hundred yards less of the AK-47’s range may not affect the ability of this rifle to defend a shooter, but an assailant that in such distance may engage you over. 

Reliability

The reliability of the AK-47 is not questionable because it was designed to do  exactly what they are designed to, specifically to function in extreme conditions. You can bury your AK-47 in mud and dirt for years, and it will still work. They can run dirty, which is why it is known as a legendary rugged firearm. 

AK-47 beats AR-15 for reliability because AR-15 needs more maintenance on the barrel, gas rings, and bolt. Unlike AKs that can choke in mud and dirt and still fire, the ARs may need frequent cleaning to stay reliable and precise.

Weight

AR-15 is lighter than AK47. The weight of base models AK with an empty magazine is over 8.5 lbs while a stock AR is 6.5lbs only. The weight of ARs is one factor the civilian market and military consider because it may affect their mobility. 

The 2 pounds difference between these rifles may not sound too long-range. But the thing is, if you carry the ammunition along with other equipment, that 2 pounds cut on an ARs is a good thing.

Stopping Power

Most people and even hardcore AR fans will admit that the AK’s rounds are more powerful than ARs when it comes to stopping power. A bigger round is packed with more punch that gives more knockdown or stopping power when fired. 

The smaller cartridge and rounds of ARs lack good stopping power. But to compensate for that, you can load your AR with hollow-point rounds which are expanding bullets. The expanding bullet can help with the stopping power, but the ammo of standard AK is the winner. 

Reloading

When it comes to reloading, the breeze of AR is very impressive. Swapping the magazines is fast and easy with a quick press. Reloading AKs, however, is a bit troublesome. You have to grip the empty magazine, thumb the lever to rock free the old magazine then reload the fresh one. 

Preparing the AR is faster compared to AK. The safety selector can be easily manipulated without the sacrifice on sight picture. AK is slower because it requires you to take off the safety by sweeping down a lever then rack the bolt back.

Ergonomics & Design

The ergonomics of AR-15 guns is impressive because it provides a solid cheek weld to easily manipulate the weapons without losing the iron sights. Compared to AK, ARs have minimal recoil on rapid-fire. 

America’s rifle is the most popular long gun with an impressive design. The parts of the caliber are easy to swap out, and it is very customizable. The civilian shooters build their AR-15 according to their liking. It is also designed to mount the optics on the Picatinny rail securely.

Cost

AKs are less expensive compared to ARs. The ammunition of AKs is also affordable. It is because it is cheap and easy to manufacture. The design principle of AKs is to mass-produce, and it is not meant for aimed fire shots but to spray and pray. 

On the other hand, ARs are expensive because the labor and parts are pricey, especially in the US. In addition to this, since the AR-15 is invented to be accessorized, the customization makes it more expensive.

FAQS

Which is louder, AR-15 or AK-47?

AR-15 is louder than AK-47 when you pull the trigger. When fired, AR produces 163-165 decibels while AK produces 130-142 decibels. Firearms produce a very loud noise, so it is best to use ear protection. Any sounds at 90 decibels above can damage your inner ear.

Is an AK-47 better for home defense than an AR-15?

Both rifles are good for home defense, but the AR-15 is better. The AR caliber is more precise even at a certain distance, and the reloading is much easier. In addition to this, it is legal to own an AR-15 because it is a semi-automatic rifle.

Between the AR-15 & AK-47, which is better for beginners?

AR-15 is best for beginners. It is easy to use and learn, which makes it a perfect gun for beginners. It is a low recoil, lightweight, and precise gun which best fits new users. It is also good for target shooting, self and property defense, plinking, and hunting.

Our Choice Between AR-15 & AK-47 is…

The AR-15 by Eugene Stoner is a lightweight, accurate, and easy to manipulate rifle. If you are looking for rifles for your home and self-defense that even beginners can easily pull off, our team highly recommends this rifle. It is a durable and very customizable gun. AR’s accuracy, even at long-distance shooting, is very commendable. 

We are not saying that AK-47 cannot secure you and your property because it is a good full-auto gun. But scoring the best rifle is not just worth the price but will give you the utmost security.

They don’t realize it because those people operate under the delusion that the government would never do anything to harm the populace, despite much evidence to the contrary.

They also believe the Founding Fathers were shortsighted and did not know that one day they could fire more than one round out of a rifle despite the fact that there was a lot of advancement in weapons technology around the Revolution and beyond.

I appreciate your tags as well. You are free to not like guns or own them. But you are not free to restrict my own rights.

This may or may not be a stupid question but can I please ask why nobody realizes that "the right to bear arms" applies to heavy weaponry because our country came from a time of war and the founding fathers realized that if shit went down with their future government it would be real hard to kill off dictators with low load protection weapons compared to things like heavy weaponry that they know would keep advancing?
