Weapons? What do you own?


Recommended Posts

  • 4 weeks later...

So I got myself a Nikon P223 3-9x40mm scope and replaced the iron sights on my rifle the other day.  Paid a guy at the gun store to mount and bore-sight it, then took it out into the woods and put a couple of magazines through it to pull it into a 100 yard zero.  It's wild, to look at it, it looks like you're staring straight into the back of the front sight post, but even zoomed all the way out to 3x you can't see it.

 

Note: The e-Mac to my right was used as a target for my friend who bought a Mosin Nagant (the first rifle bigger than a .22 LR he's ever owned) and wanted to try it out.

My self on the other hand, since my last stint in the military, I've been deemed too dangerous to own any weapon of any kind and was banned from doing so by the government, therefore I just have myself.

    • They aren't going to want to. Most would just go with the 17 Pro and save money. Why would they want to spend $300 for basically the same thing? It's not worth it if there are hardly any changes from year to year.
    • 24H2 rolled out to the Release Preview Channel in early June 2024, so this coming a bit later in the Experimental Channel (formerly Dev) doesn't really say much more than earlier H2 releases that came out in October. I am not sure what the thinking is here by putting it in Experimental, one would think that the 26H2 stamp means features are locked down and it's now bug tested until October? I don't even pretend to understand Microsoft's strategy for Windows Insider Program though

Connectivity is handled via Bluetooth 5.3, with support for AAC, SBC, and LDAC audio codecs. Additional features include IP54-rated earbuds for dust and splash resistance, paired with an IPX2-rated charging case. Furthermore, users also benefit from pinch controls, in-ear detection, Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, dual-device connectivity, and a low-latency mode designed for gaming and video playback.
