they have more moving parts than a glock, it's like a mechanical watch inside those things, a mechanical watch that requires hand-fit parts, that gets dirty and gunked up and undergoes dramatic shocks when used

i've seen them jam more frequently than autoloaders, and when they do, you gotta unscrew the sideplate (which required me to also remove the grip) and fiddle with its bits

so, if you want a reliable defensive pistol, go with something like a glock

i still think they're neat

A better bullpup trigger. (www.youtube.com)
submitted 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

How come all modern production bullpup rifles use long trigger bars? I'm assuming (maybe incorrectly) that's what makes them notoriously mushy.

Check out the TKB-022PM. The trigger releases a backward-traveling striker, that hits a class 1 lever, that hits the firing pin. I feel like that's got potential for a much better feeling trigger.

Well for one con, I could see that there's probably more time between the trigger break and actual ignition. And you have an extra part, that lever, undergoing a lot of force. And how do you recock the backward striker? On the return stroke of the bolt?

OP is a character. Bad analysis leads to interesting takes. Man, Perfect Days is such a good movie.

As a whole or a specific role, like Goto in Patlabor: The TV Series.

i think things are just starting to get cool bloomer marx-guns-blazing

some kind of defensive planning and preparation is a good idea, we've seen quite a bit of stochastic right-wing terror, and we should expect that to continue to become more common

hmm where'd they get the cryptocurrency in the first place? also interesting that they don't mention the company by name, and go out of their way to say this has nothing to do with their "newsgathering"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZHZWie7OHc Taiwan parliament brawl.

Taiwan’s parliament descended into a brawl on Friday just days before the inauguration of Lai Ching-te, the new president.

Politicians pushed, hit and tackled each other, clambering across tables as they swarmed around the speaker’s seat in the legislative chamber after tempers became heated in a bitter dispute about parliamentary reforms.

The argument broke out over a push by the main opposition party, the Kuomintang (KMT), and its allies, to give parliament greater powers of scrutiny over the government.

This includes a controversial move to criminalise officials who are deemed to make false statements in parliament – a proposal which has been rejected by Mr Lai’s Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) as “an unconstitutional abuse of power”.

The unruly scenes are likely to add to speculation that Mr Lai will face a tougher challenge than President Tsai Ing-wen, his predecessor, in gaining support for his legislative policies after he takes office.

I don't buy it. 6 schmucks just rent a sailboat and some deep sea diving equipment? It's a scapegoat. The only country both capable and incentivized to pull it off is the US. US officials and Biden have said many times they would destroy it. They just can't be seen as responsible for directly attacking Russia and Europe.
