How's this for a fact. Not everyone aware MFF is known colloquially by some to refer to gender of participants in a sexual context. Non cowardly downvote to you for being an antagonistic ass.

On Firefox mobile it barely looks different... But what stood out was more bugs. Missing next page buttons and layout issues. So... Good job Reddit... LoL.

Hence why they have transmissions that ensure they're in a favourable RPM range at all times.

I hear there are cases where people need TPM, but I don't, and switching it off is a great way to avoid this crap.

Worst with trains

That's true, but also dumb at the same time.

The benefit of reduced drag applies regardless of mode of propulsion.

So really, it's complexity for complexity sake.

You ever played Receiver?

Not quite John wick but if you like gun handling it's worth a look.

You just described ARMA3 with some mods.

I remember being tossed in the deep end when the mods were new to me. Having to diagnose and treat gunshot wounds, inject morphine, run fluids etc... even CPR, certain medics could do transfusions, match blood types etc.

Was kinda frightening for a PC game... And often all of this was under enemy fire.

The enemy would be injured, shot, concussed, knocked unconscious, lose blood etc. the potential existed for them to regain consciousness after a while and if you hadn't removed their weapons they could fire in you. Surprised the shit out of people not used to these mods... Always had to check downed hostiles.

Shut up and take my money.

Lol.. I wish.

No.. it's USD$4 per 1 gallon of you buy the cheapest nastiest stuff money can buy.

AUD$6.10 for a gallon of the cheapest possible milk I can find within 30km/20 miles here in Australia.

USD$4.00 even... Again for the cheapest possible 12 pack 1L UHT generic milk.

If you want something from the supermarket fridge you're gonna to need to start at multiplying that by 1.5 to 2x .

So USD$8 /gal might be fairly typical here.

I think this is the best take. This alone if it went nowhere is fairly harmless.

But I think we know what it really is, is the start of a slippery slope.

It literally is not designed for that purpose.

Sure it can do that, and I'll agree it is quite an efficient tool for killing... But saying it was designed for that is plain hyperbole.

The rifle in question in this thread is a civilian sporting rifle and lacks the the more rapid firing modes.

You be like one of those people "Look, is in the name, 'Assault Rifle model 15'".

Sweden had mandatory conscription from 1901 through to the cold war. About 85% of men were conscripted.

The situation had changed more recently to a national service system.

All those who do combat or combat related service are issued an AK 4 (Swedish production of the H&K G3) rifle, or the more modern AK 5 based on the Belgian FN FNC.

Both of these are far superior 'killing machines' than a semi auto AR-15. The newer AR5 will even run the same magazines as the AR15,

On completion of service the option is given to keep the rifle.

The government provides ammunition and access to training facilities so as people can remain proficient with their rifle.

More recently the keeping of ammunition at home has been banned but there is no doubt already millions of rounds in the wild. This law has preparations to be lifted rapidly if required for an emerging security crisis.

Their new national service system now provides options for logistics and medical for those that don't want to pickup a firearm. Pretty good idea I think.

Clearly a different mentality and different state of national mental health in Sweden.

This is true, but these people are too stupid to accept facts and feel better picking on the dangerous black rifle.

The fully semi automatic clip fed AR-15 that fires 9mm bullets that will blow a lung out is the real problem.

No... Just no.

Guns ARE a problem, as is mental health and the mindset of people.

But per capita Sweden has more houses with assault rifles (literally military provided rifles to national service citizens) but no mass shootings there?

I'm actually in favour of better gun control, but I can't think of a truly practical way to achieve it.

The US pro gun people are in denial about the issue, and the US anti gun people are equally in denial about the true issues and facts, so much so that their cause is suffering for it.

I'm concerned about guns... But I'm not stupid.

It's particularly good at that, I won't deny, but so many other factors exist too. It's affordability, it's availability are also issues.

There are better choices for killing... They just cost more and or have limited availability.

The Kriss Vector or MP5 would be a great tool at short to intermediate range. A lot less cumbersome than an AR.

No you don't get it. Banning 1 single type of weapon would be ineffective for a bunch of reasons that you're not ready to understand.

Honestly can't disagree with any of that. America is too far gone and your take on education and responsibility is spot on.

Switzerland is an odd example. Literally assualt rifles in nearly every home. But a completely different civil mindset.

I stopped right there too. They have it arse about.

Yeah... Fuck us for driving to a job no public transport can get us to right?

If you wanna admit you suck go right ahead, but with the means I have at hand in making a solid effort.

Sounds like your not.

Consumerism and capitalism is the real issue. Must have the latest iPhone, the company must grow. Limitless growth must happen in a system with limited resources.

Typed from my 5 year old phone I don't want to replace but Samsung agree pulling security updates so I'll have to.
