I've got a cigar event at the Battleship New Jersey Thursday Evening... I've never been there. Has anyone been there? Within the past couple years? Wondering about security - should I be disarming (pocket knife, pepper spray) or do you think I'd be able to carry them on board? Nothing's mentioned about this on their website.

Supposedly they're calling people and saying it was a pricing error. I haven't received a call yet and my order is processing...

Just keep in mind - there's a "Spall factor" when you get AR500 armor. You're toting around a steel plate and it's gonna send fragments in all directions.

Googling the UPC comes up with the Aero Rifle Slugs at 1560FPS - what @FairbanksRusty linked above. Don't think they're the low recoil type at all.

https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/88829/fiocchi+12fslug+aero+plano+12+ga+ga+2.75+slug+shot This one? Trying for 2... let's see if it works.

M193 is FMJBT - 55gr boat tailed FMJ - it's fine for all over. For HD - neither M193/M855 are great. M193 is definitely the better of the 2, but still not great as it's "ball" ammo. Get a good SP/HP/OTM round. I have some IMI 77gr OTM "Razor Core" as well as Federal T556TNB1 (MK318 SOST) 62gr OTM. Old school favorites are Winchester Silver Tip and Speer Gold Dot.

Doesn't look like they're closing. The range-14.com website is closing down at the end of the year - everything's being done now on the Joint Base MDL website. https://www.gomdl.com/range-14 https://87fss.com/web31/wbwsc/webtrac.wsc/splash.html

I knew someone would remark on that... Hand/finger strength isn't an issue for me (piano player, and frequently on computers/gaming/etc). I'm talking about say 500 trigger pulls in less than 30 minutes time. It adds up fast when you've got a 8lb pull weight vs a 4lb. Because yes, the Mantis Blackbeard does reset the trigger that fast. Not sure if you ever played any of the Time Crisis arcade/Playstation video games - I meant like whanging away on the trigger like that...

Most of us don't get to shoot enough to find out how much the trigger pull weight on their AR matters. Using the Mantis Blackbeard on my AR - holy cow my trigger finger gets tired after pulling that trigger a few hundred times with the standard mil-spec trigger. I originally thought the mil-spec trigger was fine but now I do wanna get better triggers for all of my ARs that have mil-spec's.

Agreed. Throw some JP Enhanced reliability springs on it too and it's even nicer. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1003366096

The way that Shockwaves, etc. have a pump/semi auto action which makes the OAL a bit longer. Break action guns actions are actually fairly short. Chiappa gets around that by having a slightly longer barrel (18.5" vs a 14.5") with their "Honcho" triple barrel... https://www.charlesdaly.com/product.php?id=529

I use a BCM 1.0 on one AR, another has the Spikes Dynacomp. 3rd AR has an A2 style brake. I've got a VG6 here too - haven't put it on a rifle yet but from the design it'll look a bit blasty but will do a good job compensating. I run the BCM 1.0 at a very high rate of fire (COUGHCOUGHFRT-15COUGHCOUGH) and it does well with muzzle flip (as long as you brace properly)

What's your intended purpose? To be the best brake for recoil but you're fine with blasting everyone else at the range with concussion? Or just kinda all around?

I think there's been at least 15 "unexplained" fires/issues/etc. at food-related facilities this year so far... Uncanny... That tinfoil hat is looking more and more tempting.

But it's not a national gun law discussion topic... Merged into original topic and moved.

That was supposedly last night though?

Aaaaaaaaaand banned - scammer.

I believe the older Nissan CVT transmissions were belt-driven, which would stretch and wear out... vs chain driven CVTs now?

Nice write up. I've played airsoft for many years - gone through several Green Gas guns - the slide weight is always a lot lighter than the real thing. Also - in general, the trigger pulls are much lighter. Even with the weight of the mag in the gun - it's still just a bit different (balance-wise). Still a great training tool though!

Start asking for solicitation permits.. If they say no then pull out your phone and say - ok hang on let me call the township about you then.

This is when you ask if they have a permit for solicitation..... and if not - get the f out and call the township on 'em.

Cuz they know trespassers can be shot

Solar power yes. And political stuff... I keep an eye on my cameras...
