You guys photoshopping up modernized lever rifles are barking up the wrong tree, basing it on the Win 94 receiver. Use a BLR as a base gun - feeds from a detachable magazine, has a shorter lever throw (something like 60 degrees instead of 90), and ejects out the side so you can run your rails/optics/sights farther.

I have to wonder how most of the kids that signed up for the military courtesy of the recruiting platforms at COD:MW2's launch event a couple years back, feel about the game's 'realism' now.

back in 07 I changed services when I joined the army guard and had to do a couple drills with fresh recruit types before I went to training. On one such drill we sat and a class room and a recruiter asked each one of us why we joined and one of the recruits said basically "I JOINED BECAUSE OF CALL OF DUTY MODERN WARFARE" (number one at this point). I did a silent facepalm and part of me died.

Yeah imagine if all that money they spent developing it worked.

It's fantastic when you only train to reload in one position under very particular circumstances.

Let's see how quick your "admin reload" is when you're laying supine in a ditch trying to not get your face an extra orifice or two.

Also, really surprised me that this kid is using a real gun. Thought it was an airsoft gun for a while.

I dunno. I thought it was fun. Didn't make me want to join the army, though.

Even assuming the first point is true, it is still far better than 99.9 percent of people who own an AK. "Little bastard practicing at all...grumble...should enlist, get a concussion from an IED, take a sucking chest wound, and then make his video in a mud hole outside of the field hospital during a mortar strike...grumble...then maybe I'll think it adequate."

The second point has already been addressed and remains stupid.

Yes, for only one year. It used to be three.

Edit: if you get drafted after university you get to be a lieutenant and it's not that awful.

If we started to count the ways your posting is terrible and evidence of a profoundly stupid man, we'd be here for awhile. Here's some proof. To save everyone time, maybe just click here.

Your logout URL doesn't work.

Once again, you have brought no evidence or even a real argument to the table. But that's cool though, maybe you and ViEtRiCeR can share admin reload tips.

The more you post the worse you look...just saying

Parthenogenocide posted:

I think I raise a fair point. If you're trying to get into some sort of "combat arts", why build habits that only reinforce one particular (and unlikely) scenario? How effective is that 20 millisecond look at your charging handle for diagnosing WHY your weapon is malfunctioning? poo poo, look at that other video of the dude wearing the multicam pants, and you'll see him working in all sorts of positions, for the sole purpose of building good habits.

The kid made that video to show all he knows- and all he knows is standing up, in an ideal firing position.

Also, was more getting at the whole people using "admin" for everything, thus the quotes.

The actual game play wasnt horrible but I could never get passed all the stupid classroom poo poo. Who the fucks wants to take a test in a video game.

I looked up the answers to most of the tests. But I actually did the escape/evade whatever it's called test. That was actually an interesting kind of tough.

Sometimes it could be pretty fun, but the people playing it tended to be obnoxious sperglords. The kind of people that would complain about you "spray and praying" with the 249.

I never played the 3.0 or whatever it was that updated the engine. I only even played the 2004-based one because it was a point in my life where I played a lot of video games and didn't have a lot of money.

The list of mandates we got from the military was long, baffling, and hilarious.

I worked on that game, and it was without a doubt the most over-the-top, hilarious job I ever had for that very reason - think about it. I don't think I even ever played the game.


NOBODY. The list of mandates we got from the military was long, baffling, and hilarious.

That color of green is bad and I'm sure it's an awful gun to actually handle and shoot but that model at least is hitting all the right space gun points for me.
