Ekol Viper 9mm, with 6" barrel. It shoots blank rounds only (basically it's a prop gun) so it's practically impossible to hurt anyone with it. I am fully aware that it is dorky and probably a waste of money, but I wanted a toy that goes bang, and I'm a goddamn adult, so I bought one.

Buy some earplugs, blanks can be loving loud.

Yeah, I'm planning on being super careful, plus they sell "half-loads" which are a little quieter.

That's a good question, I don't really know yet though. At the very least, it's cheaper/less deadly than a real gun.

Why not return it and get one that can shoot bullets? You can still fire blanks out of it, but also use it to enjoy the great and useful hobby that is target shooting (if you wanted to). Also, ain't no robber/rabid dog/North Korean invader getting stopped with a blank.

Unless you are using it to suicide by cop like Bip Roberts said, in which case :shrug:

Admittedly I'm not a gun enthusiast but I don't understand what you do with a prop gun. Are you going to make movies with it or something? Do you use it to mark the start of races? When you fire it... what are you firing at?

You get 3 or 4 other people with prop guns and play cops and robbers or cowboys and indians or you just own a prop gun and go "This is awesome, and has the ability to make a loud loving noise when I want it to."

I own a black powder pistol that's a replica of the colt from Supernatural, and while I will probably never load up black powder and actually try to kill a demon (or a target, or anything) it's still nice to have a metal gun that "feels real". You can always buy an airsoft springer if you just want something gun shaped, but when it comes to props and prop collecting, having something that feels realistic vs something that just feels like plastic is worth the extra cash. Even if that cash is going towards a dust magnet on the shelf.

gently caress it, the dude is an adult and wants something that can go bang, he bought something that can go bang. Not everything needs a reason to do.

Hell, I just sunk cash into a brass replica of a dragon priest dagger from Skyrim. I don't plan on stabbing anyone with it, but hey, gently caress it I wanted it and it looks cool so I decided to get it. I'm an adult and can have sharp things.

C&P - nthing the "use earplugs when you shoot that thing" even if it's half loads. Those fuckers can be LOUD. Also , don't be a retard and fire it in an apartment or some place the cops will be called.

Sup expensive japanese plastic buddy. :respek:



I've been wanting to do a bunch of custom repaints and kitbashes for a while, and I had some extra cash from a paycheck bonus so I went whole hog. Got the whole batch for way less than Amazon prices thanks to folks liquidating their stock though, saved about 200 bucks in total.

I also picked up this so I can get my bike time in without running to the gym.


Also got some weights and an exercise ball too, just for variety.

Eh, he wasn't too bad. 21$ and free prime shipping.

I did see a 300$ model of that GIGANTIC loving gunship from Gundam Seed 08 or whatever it was. Damned thing is in 1/144 scale and is still over 3 feet long. I want it so bad but a: have no money for something like that, and b: have no place to PUT something like that.

Ah the (questionable) joy of car ownership: Repairs! I have a bunch of stuff to fix on my Ford Ka, but I lacked the proper tools to do pretty much anything bigger. Time to buy a socket set!



I'm not too sure how strong these universal sockets are, but it came with a 10 year warranty so if something breaks I can always get a new one. Also the car has a mixture of hex and torx bolts, so having a set that works on both types is nice.

Don't worry, I imagine the bolts will fail long before your tools. The questionable joy of car repair indeed.

I'd be more worried about rounding off bolt heads with all of those 12 point sockets...

Have you tried using a toothpick and pressing the tiny reset button next to the usb port? I do that every few months and it fixes the problem for me.

Another good thing about this headset is that is plug and play with the PS4. You won't get surround but it's not bad.

I have a set of these. Mine has a very faint electrical whine when sound isn't playing.

Really wish the battery life was better. They'll work all day long if I'm just browsing the internet or youtube, but if I'm gaming they'll die in about 3-4 hours.

I guess its also good, cause you should probably go outside after 3-4 of straight video games.
