@RogueCenturion The right wanted to throw a temper tantrum because we didn't throw a seasons' worth of touchdowns in the first quarter of the game.

[Watermelon SkunkWorks @WMSkunkWorks]

The question isn't if .45 has a greater terminal impact than 9mm. The question is if the difference is big enough to matter, and the answer is no. And recoil isn't a tactical trade-off either. Even in 5.56 rifles, it's been proven over and over again that shooter performance is greater with lower recoil.

@Sujamma_Enjoyer @bmitori @xoxoxoreu True! And a good .45 round does achieve a larger expanded cavity, no one denies this. But time and time again, those who shoot other people for living have decided that a slightly larger expanded cavity is not worth more recoil and a smaller capacity.

@Sujamma_Enjoyer @bmitori @xoxoxoreu The two handguns that notoriously lived inside bags or on armory racks?

@Sujamma_Enjoyer @bmitori @xoxoxoreu When will engineering let anyone on earth shoot a bill drill as quickly and accurately with .45 HSTs vs 9mm HSTs?

[Watermelon SkunkWorks @WMSkunkWorks]

@Sujamma_Enjoyer @bmitori @xoxoxoreu It’s not a false equivalency. I used JSOC as the example because they’ve shown that they are willing to abandon NATO standardization and logistical advantages in favor of terminal performance. So why do best shooters in search of performance still not shoot .45?

[Watermelon SkunkWorks @WMSkunkWorks]

@Sujamma_Enjoyer @bmitori @xoxoxoreu If .45 ACP were meaningfully better than 9mm, you’d see JSOC units fielding it like they do with 6mm ARC or 6.5 Creed. Seems like the best still think that lower recoil beats slightly bigger holes.

@CaudilloXIV Prequel haters to be arrested, tried, and executed

@TheCollegeWrR Didn’t expect Chittum to move down to 149. Hope that’s what he needs to break through

@FanonDaDon @sacredrain @tieezyy @nmk063 Multiple Roman emperors were described as blonde haired and/or blue-eyed as well. The Mediterranean before the 7th century Arab expansion was pretty white

@memcchi @gooberbooberwoo because they did something to deserve it

[Watermelon SkunkWorks @WMSkunkWorks]

@sacredrain @tieezyy @nmk063 Achilles was one of the most celebrated heroes of Greek mythology, and was pretty explicitly described as a blonde. You’re retarded

@bronyjoe111 @ColeGamer1941 @DocStrangelove2 "I prefer firearm with personality" = "I think I like guns that are bad or deficient in some way"

[Watermelon SkunkWorks @WMSkunkWorks]

@IRLGnome67 @ColeGamer1941 @DocStrangelove2 "Not really being into guns" is when you shoot so little that you find a rifle that's lighter, softer shooting, more ergonomic, and easier to use than the competition "boring"

[Watermelon SkunkWorks @WMSkunkWorks]

@ColeGamer1941 @DocStrangelove2 Sounds like you aren’t really a gun guy then, if you refuse to buy the greatest rifle ever made.

@IzzatStatus Forgot to mention “patriot”

[Watermelon SkunkWorks @WMSkunkWorks]

@RichardArion1 yeah, this is a respectable deadlift for a dude if you weigh like 110lbs and/or you’re disabled

[Watermelon SkunkWorks @WMSkunkWorks]

@MentholWorks that the design i sent you with the flats on the side? looks clean in PPA

[Watermelon SkunkWorks @WMSkunkWorks]

@ArthurClaudeen I’ve always found that a layer of glue (from a glue stick) is a really good way to make sure TPU separates from the plate. Glue stick + spray bottle of isopropyl are always a must to have on standby
