  • It is interesting to me especially since as a kid I was fascinated with things like ancient aliens lol. I knew it was bullshit of course but it was fun and engaging.

    A part of me wishes it were true, another part tells me it’s a distraction (the only names that I see supporting it are people like Rubio and other fascist conservatives), and the last part of me hopes it’s all bull shit because I agree with Mr. Hawking:

    “If you look at history, contact between humans and less intelligent organisms have often been disastrous from their point of view, and encounters between civilizations with advanced versus primitive technologies have gone badly for the less advanced,” Hawking said at the time, noting that any superior forms of life “may not see us as any more valuable than we see bacteria.”







  • Absolutely not. Especially with said small mags, op said 5 but for Cali I believe it’s 10?

    Either way that’s a small fucking mag even for a round like 5.56 (standard us rifle round). You could easily stuff 4-5 in your two pants pockets.

    Sticking with the 5.56 example, push the mag in, hit the bolt release to load the first round, pull the trigger and the next is auto loaded. Pull the trigger for each bullet and when there are no more the bolt will stay locked back. You push the mag release button, mag falls out, then you just slide a new mag in. Hit the bolt catch release and it will load the next round.

    It’s easy as fuck, no the goal isn’t to reload once a day. If anything the goal would be to hit the target with as few bullets possible x the person you replied to was just being facetious.

    here is an excellent example animation that covers the entire sequence from load to fire. Most of it is irrelevant but if you actually care you can jump around using the chapters

    The only laborious thing about reloading is putting each round in one by one. The video shows a 30 round mag so think of a mag 1/3rd of that for this post context. With stripper clips or a speed reloaded it’s easy and quick af. Realistically you’d go out with preloaded mags instead of a box of bullets you load on the fly. Always a good idea to take extra cartridges tho.
