  1. Could easily be your mouse setup, especially if you're set to have programs control mouse speed in some fashion. It's painful if suddenly you have mouse acceleration ruining precision.
  2. Just a minor correction, it would be the B&T MP9, rather than the Steyr TMP...
  3. Seems more easily concise with rosters on the forum, and no additional groups to contend with (despite the 42 group thing).
  4. Because in the future... nukes still aren't allowed for some strange reason.
  5. Wow, that some crazy stuff. Are you able to make hats too? Kinda like the SISU ones people are using? :P That is some epic stuff there though.
  6. Oh that poor AK! What have you done to it's butt!?!
  7. Or find the average calculated time of assault and counter around the same time beforehand.
  8. Swapping a graphics card is pretty easy; swapping a motherboard, not so easy. I've been looking around myself, and you can get a 460 under $200 anyway, so that doesn't seem like a great deal. Power supply is probably going to cost you though...
  9. The 6.5 grendel, along the same lines of the 6.8SPC are definitely great new cartridges that have every favorable aspect over the current 5.56 in use. Effective range, penetration, 'stopping power', and other factors are indicative of the science behind them. With regard to munitions, there has always been an evolution of different types deployed over the generations for various purposes. The problem of course is that they lack any sort of benchmark, or any means of comparison to other cartridges of similar size. Also across those many years, new manufacturing methods are developed, as well as new materials employed (or screwed with, as with the eco-friendly copper-only types). If I recall, the only noticeable difference with the two aforementioned cartridges are some minor range statistics, as well as the ballistics after striking an object to a minor extent. If there was ever to be a new cartridge deployed, something like those would definitely be at the top of the list. However, all throughout history of weapons adoption programs, the change to a different caliber has never been considered due to logistics and cost.
  10. Moar like brave the ocean of teeming masses for Black Friday. REND PEASANTRY AND SALES ASUNDER!!!
  11. Bakelite, actually, but definitely shit. No, there is no real compatibility between different countries of manufacture, regardless of the given weapon. In fact you're more likely to have compatible magazines between the various rifles using STANAG magazines (armalite and L85, among others) because at least they are mostly built to identical specifications 'across the pond'. AK-type rifles in the U.S. are mostly Romanian as far as I've seen due to availabilty and not being Chinese.
  12. Actually Vikings were, but they were celebrating having razed a helpless village by eating everyone's food and enslaving their peasants Happy thanksgiving!
  13. Partially correct: Previous attempts at using 'field magazines' with such prototypes as the SR-47 (using the same gas system as every other armalite) has forgone the notion that AK's from different countries are not built to the same speciifcations. In current conditions, for instance, the Iraqi fielded Tabuk definitely contains no Russian parts, and no other AK magazine would necessarily fit the same pattern rifle; whether by fitment in the mag-well, a mag seating properly, or being able to cycle the next round due to magazine height. At best, being able to swap the upper and subsequent mag-well for special cases would simply provide the ability to chamber a different cartridge, magazines entirely dependent upon the user. Of course, that isn't really that big of a deal considering what can be done with AR upper receivers in the world. A wide array of munitions also fit relatively well through the same mag-well.
  14. AKs suck. The end. Get over it.

  15. WWII games are about the efforts of the allies versus the axis because games about valiant heroism against an 'evil' foe are what people look for in a game. Why are there no WWII games with the perspective of the Nazis? Why would anyone play a game about valiantly failing against the rest of the world after having attempting to take over it? Lets not dwell too much on semantics there, I'm sure battles are battles one way or another and I truely don't care if there are redeeming qualities contained therein. Why is Russia the new lightning rod? Like others have pointed out, they remain an ominous source of things that could or couldn't exist. Its easy to supplant them into a game as the antagonist because there is so little to actually know, and the possibilities that things are taking place across their gigantic country that directly conflict with the ideals of America or the rest of the world. It isn't really something you can do with any other country, especially ones that are notable allies to this day, lacking any sordid history of malcontent. Who else could you possible use that anyone actually cares about, or believes could do anything of the sort? Me, I'm a proponent of more Planetside type of games. There are more than just two sides, and everyone is against one another. Various levels of technological advancement lead to variances in standard issue and heavy armaments. It doesn't need to be a game about some specific country versus another in the first place. Also, single-player varieties are fairly pointless and less fiscally productive. People don't continually play any Call of Duty single player campaigns, which have gotten increasingly shorter, yet equally expensive. WWII was at least feasible since it actually happened, as opposed to the Modern Warfare games that followed, and that is why that historical period prevailed above all else for years upon years. All of it is quite frankly a tired experience of 'interactive movies' that could very well just be a very involved rail-shooter, and far more interesting if there was a lightgun peripheral by which to play.
  16. Totally in their lair, listening to the latest message of world destruction from their archnemesis.
  17. The thrill of the hunt makes the end so much sweeter! Stumbling upon things endlessly delays the hunt... Organize your shit better Z, gawd :/
  18. You say that as if the military is absolutely the only organization in existence that deals in firearms! Sadly, your average soldier doesn't know nearly enough about the hunk of plastic, aluminum, and/or steel in their hands...
  19. Not really, unfortunately. If I recall, Knight's Armament attempted an SR-47, intended to be able to use AK magazines on the standard AR platform. However, they came to find that above and beyond sloppy tolerances on the magazines themselves, there was a considerable variation between one country's magazines from another (or rather, their origin of manufacture). Even with the current M4/M16 platform, I wouldn't count on being able to use the H&K-made magazines manufactured for the British L85 (lawl metric) to fit without question.
