Anyone know why this project was “crucibled”? I see it says it failed at 985. But the design is legit. The only thing I can imagine is just the sheer amount of Mac based projects that are highly similar.

    Is that an integral suppressor? I ft that’s the key feature of the design that could have had something to do with it. Hard to find testers when you had to pay the gov $200 and wait months for permission just to try it.

      And then do it again for every new iteration… Although now I bet we will see a lot more betas for integrally suppressed designs pop up

    awcy has strict testing standards and it has to survive 1000rds in one range trip without having a failure. so at 985, this one almost made it. i would say it’s safe to go. especially after looking at it and seeing how much plastic is in it.

        Index? I must be really missing something with this community or server. I’m a 2A enthusiast but I kind of accidentally blundered in here a few weeks back and I have no idea what’s going on.

            I never realized what a pain in the ballsack it is to join multiple comms on an instance. Maybe I’m doing it wrong but I had to put the instance name into Lemmy Explorer and manually copy / paste the comm names into my account and subscribe. Yeesh.
