Rifles and shotguns. Better penetration and stopping power. Most rifle rounds can penetrate common body armors, and a 12ga shotgun with slugs can make someone wearing kevlar wish they hadn’t been. The minor amount of maneuverability you lose from carrying a ‘long gun’ is more than made for by their power and efficiency.
Got stuck at PHL for 18 hours, first plane was broken, when we finally were deplaned the crew had been on duty too long for the second flight, we waited for the second crew, and were about to take and the second plane was broken. They flew in a new plane for us and by the time it got there, the second crew had to leave, so we had to wait for a third crew. I wound up sleeping on some benches in a closed restaurant next to some guy who had a connecting flight out of houston to beaumont.
DF is a unique, sometimes overwhelming, sometimes hilarious, always interesting experience. There’s nothing like it, although many people have tried.
Get job inspecting deluge systems I guarantee you you’ll be getting wet at least once a week
I think that may be a part of the problem. He knows the bible and doesn’t give a fuck about what it actually says.
wut
how tho
Yes. Usually, unless your players are funny and you get gems ‘big brained einstein genius’ or ‘big boned elephant guy’
I had a guy play a combo of the sentient hat and farmer. A lich screwed up, was left as just a head, and his phylactery was the farmer. As the farmer got stronger the lich got weaker but more connected to the farmer, until the lich was very nearly fully in control of the farmer (fighter/rogue by that point) before the party found a way to remove the lich.
I mean, Deep Space 9 didn’t seem like a bad place to set up shop
They’ll circle back to this question later
Dressing room?
Is this a joke im too plebe to understand?
Im not entirely convinced this isn’t a 4d chess maneuver. The guys a ultra right wing conspiracist shitbird, and unveils a hitlerstache? What if it’s all been a bit to make ultra wing shitbirds look like shitbirds all along?
I like to do this for my wife to find. She really loves that she’s married to a 40yr old child.
i think this makes me like it even less
why is 50cents face so high def and the rest of him so blurry, its weird and disconcerting.
I can think of a few possible but highly unlikely scenarios for a typical bolt action rifle to do this, but nothing that would be easy to duplicate. Generally the bolt handle will be at least passively ‘locked’ in place by the geometry of the bolt and rifle, and sometimes actively locked in place. If the bolt handle isn’t fully seated, there really shouldn’t be a way for the firing pin to release. Wear and lack of maintenance could cause an issue like this, but I would expect the incident would be repeatable.
I think I know what you’re driving at, but first let me address what you actually said real quick. A bolt action rifle does absolutely have a chamber, the chamber is the rearmost part of the barrel where the round sits and is held in place before firing. Its fitted to the specific round that the gun is designed to use to create a gas seal to ensure the projectile can be propelled down the barrel.
What I believe you were driving at is that, due to the chambering mechanism on a bolt action rifle being manually operated, as opposed to relying on the recoil action/gas discharge of the firearm to drive the bolt back and a spring to drive it forward, means that it less likely to jam or fail to seat. This is true, for a variety of reasons, but a bolt action rifle can jam, especially if you go futzing around with the casing or the projectile. You’re less likely to see a stovepipe, I’ve only seen it when the case managed to fall back into the action instead of being ejected off to the side, but a complete failure to eject, a failure to seat or even a double feed are all possible ‘jams’ with a bolt action rifle.
30.06, roughly the same size, mainly a difference in case size, with the 30.06 being a little longer with room for more powder. Either way there’d be plenty of room for an UWU or three on the bullet, and the case of the 30.06 could fit at least 6 UWUs
The redemption arc is great too

both are chambered in 5.56, which is a very common round, so they’re cheap and easy to source, and plenty of power without having much in the way of recoil. It will penetrate most soft body armors, but level 4 kevlar, ceramic, or steel plate armors will stop it. The rounds are also boat tail, which according to some people makes it unstable once it hits a soft target meaning it won’t over penetrate, I can’t say if that’s true or not, but there’s plenty of high speed videos of 5.56 hitting ballistics gel that does show this.
A rifle in chambered in .308 would also be also be a good choice for a lot of scenarios for the same reasons as above, but most .308 rifles will be significantly heavier than 5.56 due to the size of the round, requiring everything to be larger. The larger overall size also means more powder which means more power, which means less things will stop it, but it will kick significantly harder.
Don’t count out a 12ga though, shotguns very versatile weapons with a huge variety of ammo types from birdshot to dragons breath to a slug for every situation, from less lethal to penetrators. You can even take a round of two of birdshot and some crayons and make something that can put a hole in a whole of things that birdshot shouldn’t be able to.
