  • Whenever this comes up I like to add:

    • Don’t get a gun in some obscure caliber. Get a pistol in 9mm or a riffle in 223 (even better get a 5.56x45 NATO) or 308 win, that way ammo will be cheaper and you can better afford training with it. Shooting a few hundred rounds is not really enough. You’ll need to train regularly.
    • Learn how to maintain your gun. As in how to clean it, what parts need lubrication, adjusting the sights, etc.
    • Speaking as an electronic engineer, get passive ear protection. Active noise cancelling is cool and all, but what about when the batteries run out and you have no protection? Or what the electronics fail? Protect your ears, but when you can get +100 rounds of ammo for the price difference, then I would prioritize the ammo budget.

    If you’re not a gun person don’t bother with a rifle or handgun, get a shotgun.

    You don’t have to worry about over penetration with a shotgun, and it’s easier to hit with than a pistol.

    If you want to know what a proper rifle is, then that’s really a subjective assessment. I would say that a 22lr is ok, unless you need fight people in body armor. But I can see how big burly Muricans want something in 338 lapua or 50 bmg.















  • I didn’t notice the USB port on the right, I was so focused on the shitty alignments. Like how can you fuck up only some of the 'S’s? I get that the ports are a result of the outline of the parts soldered to the board. And getting the HDMI vertically centered, or having the single USB port not turned 180°, would require both effort and a bit pricier BOM … But! The engraving? It’s the one thing that’s not relying on external factors.
