Yesterday, I painted Winter soldier in rain. And my friend said Steve should shield him from the rain. So I did this.

i have a story to tell you all

the year is 2016. i am starting out on my journey to learn shaders. i really want to learn raymarching, to make crystals that look like they have depth. i cant.it doesnt make any sense and i feel like it is completely beyond me and i put it to the side for now

a year later, in 2017. i try again. i figure it out this time and i make my "So Chunks Huh" . im very proud of myself

the year is 2019. i really want to make some fake softbody physics to make wiggly objects. i cant figure it out! im stumped. i feel like it is completely beyond me and i put it to the side for now

a year later, in 2020, i try again when someone asks me if i can make some softbody snoms. i figure it out this time!! im very proud of myself

the year is 2022. i really want to figure out how the sea of thieves water works. its. archaic. i cant even begin to parse what im reading. i put it to the side

a year later, in 2023, i get an ask about it on tumblr. this time i feel determined to figure it out. and it takes me three months but i finally figure it out and get it working. i come out of it with a better understanding of shaders and math

so what's the lesson here? sometimes you will try something and you wont understand it, or you wont do it right, and itll fail spectacularly. it will be just so bad. it will be godawful. it will suck. sometimes youll even try again later and you still wont get it

not this time though im the best to ever do it im awesome #edible #nochunks #smooth&silky #yummy #tasty #secondtry

Hugh Laurie thinking that Wilson would be the main character is so funny but kinda romantic. Ofc he'd think Wilson would be a main character

“russian slug, no rifling”

writers of avengers fic consistently misunderstand this phrase, and honestly i don’t blame them, it’s pretty confusing in context. bucky barnes is a sniper. snipers use rifles. fury was shot outta nowhere, by a sniper, presumably with a rifle. and if you’re not a humongous gun nut, you probably don’t automatically think slug == shotgun, not rifle. nor will you know that ‘rifling’ can mean two different things.

lucky for you, i am a humongous gun nut, so i’m here to sort that out for you!

okay, for starters, shotgun barrels are, in fact, rifled. and we all know you trace a bullet by the marks the barrel’s rifling leaves on it. so how could the winter soldier’s leavings make the ballistics techs at SHIELD shrug helplessly? well, because it wasn’t a bullet, it was a slug. a shotgun slug. and in shotgun slugs, ‘rifling’ doesn’t mean the grooves in the barrel, it means the fin-like protrusions on the slug itself, like so:

that’s an american-made big game slug, and it’s got those fins to keep it twisting despite the drag of the cork back end, which acts to stabilize it with air resistance. short range, but plenty effective if you’re hunting moose.

but the winter soldier was hunting bigger game: nick fury. through a brick wall. which is why he used something more like this:

stainless steel saboted slugs. as you can see, they have no rifling – that is, no twisty fins. they rely on their forward-weighted mass for their accuracy, which is tolerably good up to about 100 meters.

there are a number of russian makers of these, going back to soviet days, but you can also easily machine your own. these don’t deform on impact, meaning they wouldn’t have great stopping power against, say, a charging polar bear – but also meaning they keep their trajectory when going through obstructions like the wall of steve’s apartment. and that plastic sabot, or boot, which makes it fit tight and grip in the barrel, flies off when fired, taking with it any identifying marks from the barrel rifling.

i don’t think we ever got to see what bucky fired these from, but it would probably have been something like this:

a russian vepr 12 shotgun, which looks a whole lot more like a rifle than a shotgun at first glance. tactical shotguns like these are popular with law enforcement for the same reason bucky used one to shoot fury – urban combat. right through the dang wall.

so there you have it. ‘russian slug, no rifling’ means bucky came loaded for bear.
