It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

I have condoms that are 20 years old. And a CD of "Because I Got High" by Afroman.

Never hipfired anything, isn't a very stupid idea?

[–] TraumaDumpling@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

yes, especially with a normally scoped precision rifle like the Barrett. despite the fact that some impressive long range kill records in combat were made with the same weapon, its technically not a sniper rifle. its primarily for EOD tasks, countersniping enemy snipers, and destroying light vehicles or other unarmored or lightly armored equipment.

it would make a modicum of sense if the .50 he was talking about was like, an M2 browning machine gun, because at least that has automatic fire to (not really) balance out the fact that you will never hit anything past 10 or so meters holding a huge gun at the hip like that lol.

in WW2 some CQB tactics involved shooting SMG weapons (automatic rifles that shoot pistol caliber bullets) from the hip like that, and sometimes the squad machinegunner would be trained to provide 'walking fire' from the hip to suppress enemies during an advance when using something like the BAR or Bren, but modern CQB tactics are to shoulder the weapon and use the stock even if you can't/wont/dont use the sights, and machine gunners generally try to avoid CQB and charges across open terrain these days.

Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD)

Close-quarters combat (CQC) or close-quarters battle (CQB) is a close combat situation between multiple combatants involving ranged (typically firearm-based) or melee combat.

Our lieutenant hipfired two PKM's when I was doing my compulsory military training, that was pretty cool
