Was thinking about how Pix on stream the other day wanted to make an outrageous wheat farm on empires s2 where it’s fields farmed entirely by ravagers in minecarts underneath the farms because it would be silly and over the top and this is an smp so he might as well bc where else would he. and how disappointed he was when he tested it and found that ravagers will now suffocate in tilled dirt when they didnt used to (i think it was changed in 2020 w/ 1.16) So i was like. i wonder. im gonna look up and see if someone has ever made a design for a crop farm farmed by ravagers before. There has been One. It was, of course, Pixlriffs in 2019 lmao

#pixlriffs #empires smp 2 #esmp s2 #empires smp #esmp #devs saw pix’s semiauto ravanger crop farm and went y’know this really shouldnt be allowed should it. then nerfed him

It's fun watching hellsing, a show authored by a guy who's clearly a gun nerd but not autistic about guns like I am, bc I get to pick apart the tiny little mistakes with his designs. like seras' "normal" rifle having 13.7mm stamped into the receiver. it's almost but not quite accurate to real life: while many real world weapons list what caliber the gun uses somewhere on it, a caliber is measured with 2 numbers: width AND length.

it has the bullet's first measurement, the width/diameter, but not the length, which is critically important IRL. This is because there are tons of calibers that share width but not length, and thus either will not feed properly or won't fit into the receiver at all. Also I want to know how long the round is to compare it to real bullets for funsies

#raven.txt #hellsing #not that it REALLY matters it just matters to Me. i want to know #it also doesn't matter bc 13.7mm is fucking MASSIVE for what appears to be a select fire rifle #(tbf it could also be semiauto and seras is just pulling the trigger inhumanly fast)

unofficial intro to my cod oc / self insert !! he is a very very silly guy and he likes working w demolitions and semiautos

dynamics w/ the 141

john price + qiu li yang : neu-strong positive

price is a father and mentor figure for qiuli, and they work very closely together . a lot of his morals are based off of price’s, and he generally seeks advice from him . price does regard qiu as a very capable individual, though sometimes he can be overbearing protective of him . he often worries that qiu li is taking on burdens to quickly and is getting in far more dangerous situations than he realises .

kyle garrick + qiu li yang : strong positive (in relationship)

kyle and qiuli are very close . often stay around each other in joint missions , hang out in each others offices , and have a shared flat . kyle helped coax qiu out of his shell a lot, and looked after him in his early days . qiuli has been a very strong supporter of gaz , acting as his rock and one of the closest people to him .

simon riley + qiu li yang : neutral (positive ?)

qiuli is still quite nervous to interact with ghost, but simon does act as his mentor figure . very little words are exchanged between them , and when seen together it’s either qiu getting simon to test run a weapon or simon teaching qiu how to navigate certain situations . ghost sees himself in qiu through some of their shared experiences and ideologies, and he worries . they both want to befriend each other but neither has said anything regarding it .

johnny mactavish + qiu li yang : strong positive

soap is the first person in the 141 that qiu befriended . bonded over demolitions in the early days of their friendship . qiu enjoys soaps liveliness and personality , and soap enjoys qiu’s curiousity and calmness . soap is the first person qiu calls when he wants to test weapons.

i just got caught up on frieren: beyond journey's end and wow. wow. what an incredible 9 episodes so far. the concept is intriguing and the execution so far has absolutely no complaints from me, and frieren is honestly a great main character--there hasn't been a single side character i've disliked, either. and ough. the attention to craft is insane.

like. when the pink demon loli imitates eisen/stark's fighting style it's genuinely recognizable because stark has such a visible, memorable fighting stance (that half-crouch). i love it when anime take fight choreography seriously.

and especially when frieren claims that fern is a faster shot than her, you can kind of see it comparing the blonde demon twink/fern battle with the aura/frieren battle. frieren's shots are slow even if she dodges really fast while fern fights like she's packing a semiauto in her staff. plus the continued thread of zotraak being demon magic that frieren helped break down and build into demon-KILLING magic is insane btw. and the fact that frieren couldn't sense fern's presence by her mana when they first met is echoed in ep8 too?? I LOVE chekhov's gun used well.

#frieren: beyond journey's end #aurie liveblogs #i can really see this anime getting a 10/10 if it caps the story well at the end of the season at least from me #like not only is it gorgeous but the storytelling is really good #i love the tone and the pacing #i haven't had a wholehearted anime recommendation since chainsaw man aired but whew. frieren. incredible shit #i mean unless u count eminence in shadow but i'm annoyed that eminence in shadow is. decent. it's like. it's like subverted trash #which makes it clever and ultimately quite good but also exasperatingly irritatingly good #all this to say is that i've needed escapism and or a sweet calming break and frieren came at exactly the right time #she's also the most autistic main character i've ever fucking seen. god bless

Hello there. I have a question, or rather a doubt, regarding long arms specifically. Are bolt-action rifles more powerful than, say, semi-automatic ones since they use the entirety of the energy to propel the bullet and send it downrange instead of redirecting the gasses to cycle the action and chamber the next round? And would it be useful or feasible at all to have a precision rifle that could work as a semiauto/straight-pull bolt-action by choosing its operation at will? Excellent work, BTW

If I just take the question, “are bolt action rifles more powerful than semi-auto rifles?” Not really, but that comes with a lot of caveats.

You do lose power from the gas tap. But, the power loss from a semi-auto rifle can be more than compensated for by mounting a slightly longer barrel. More than that, and this is really important to remember, it doesn't matter. If you take a high power rifle round fired from the next zip code over, it will not matter if it was coming from a bolt or a semi-auto, it will still wreck your day. When you're discussing the amount of power behind a bullet, you're really worried about how far you can throw a chunk of metal, it's not like the gun does less damage on impact.

Similarly, bolt-action rifles often have a reputation for being more accurate, and again, this is kind of true, but it's a little misleading. As with the power loss from bolt to semi, the accuracy loss on a precision semi-auto not particularly significant.

The central differences that results in larger discrepancies, is that, with all things being equal, bolt action rifles are lighter, and cheaper than semi-auto ones. (Technically, the, “cheaper,” benefit comes from them being mechanically simpler, which also results in a more reliable rifle, as there's less that can go wrong.) This means, you can mount a heavier barrel, which in turn can support higher pressure rounds. (Either, larger caliber, or just hotter variants of the same rounds.)

For example, the Barret M82 is a semi-auto .50 cal anti material rifle, it weighs about 30lbs. The Barret M95 is a bolt-action equivalent, and weighs slightly over 20lbs. And, when mounted with their standard 29” barrels, they have roughly the same effective range (slightly over a mile.)

While you're sitting here thinking about the relative accuracy and the value of a bolt action, remember that the record for longest range sniper kill set in 1967 using a scoped Browning M2 (at 2500yds) stood for over 35 years until it was unseated by someone using a Tac-50.

There's a real danger with firearms in thinking that the relative differences between gun designs are far more extreme than they actually are. In the Vietnam War, a sniper sitting on a machine gun, set a world record for their long range kill that stood until 2002. When we you're seeing someone saying, “x is more reliable than y,” or, “x is more accurate than y,” understand that these are usually incredibly minor differences.

Now, when you start talking, specifically, about sniper rifles, then you get into a situation where those tiny accuracy and power differences start to become more significant. When you're looking at sending a round more than a mile away, yes, an almost imperceptible difference in accuracy can become the difference between hitting or missing a human sized target. Of course, at those ranges, inclement weather, and the rotation of the Earth can throw off your aim, so there is a lot to consider, and there is a reason why the Tac-50, in spite of being a bolt action, is still a fifteen-thousand dollar gun.

As for your solution, those exist. Technically in two different forms, with very different intentions behind them.

What you're not talking about (nor explicitly interested in) are semi-automatic firearms designed with the ability to lock the bolt closed. The Makarov PB and some prototypes for the Mk23 SOCOM (which would eventually become the H&K USP) come to mind as immediate examples. Notably, these are both handguns, intended for clandestine use, and the reason the bolt can be locked closed, and then manually cycled by the user, is to reduce the noise made by the pistol when firing. (As a general rule, it's harder to suppress a handgun, than a rifle, because of the shorter barrel. You need to deal with more unburnt gas trying to escape), so locking the bolt, and preventing gas from venting out the action is one place you can cut the sound dramatically. I could swear there's a late Soviet era rifle with a similar design, but I can't remember what it is (and I'm relatively sure it's not one of the 9x39s. Though, I might be thinking of an AS Val or VSS Vintorez prototype variant that never made it into production.)

Hybrid-semi auto/bolt action rifles were experimented with in the first half of the 20thcentury. The only specific example I can point to off hand, is the SIG SK-46. This was a semi-automatic rifle, with a visible bolt. When the bolt was lowered, the rifle operated semi-automatically, while rotating the bolt up would lock the bolt... into the bolt... yeah, conventional firearms terminology stumbles a bit here, because most guns don't have two separate bolts. So, bare with me. Locking the bolts together would, engage a gas cutoff, and at that point the rifle would function as a straight-pull bolt-action rifle.

My understanding is that there were Italian and Swedish experiments with hybrid-semi/bolt action rifles, and I suspect there were other experiments with this idea, that are far more obscure.

I don't have any concrete explanation for why these rifles never saw widespread use, but I can guess. Remember that two of the major advantages for the Bolt-action rifles were their lower weight and mechanical simplicity. In the case of the SK-46, it's actually more complex than a contemporary semi-auto rifle. So, it amplifies the disadvantages of a semi-auto rifle of its day, without really replicating the benefits of a bolt-action. It's important to remember, there were less than 20 SK-46 prototypes made, so I'm looking at a video of Ian McCollum taking one apart, somewhat obviously, I've never even seen one in person. (And, judging by the content of the video, it sounds like this is one case where he doesn't have much background either.)

These hybrid rifles existed, but as far as I know, none really made it out of experimental testing. As I said earlier, I can guess why, but as far as I've ever seen, most of these experiments weren't particularly well documented publicly. This suggests, to me, that the experiments did not provide any meaningful value, and were quietly scrapped.

As a fun aside, if you're a sniper, you probably do not want a straight-pull bolt-action. The reason is, these have a bad habit of the bolt kicking into your face if you try to cycle it while maintaining a sight picture. You need to pull your head away from the rifle to cycle it, meaning you lose sight on the target. (Or, you can let the bolt bash your teeth in. That's technically an option as well.)

The short answer is that, first the differences aren't that extreme, and second the hybrid rifles did exist, but never made it out of prototypes.
