In the game Insurgency Sandstorm there is an option to turn dismemberment on. He hadn't had it on which is why the footage seen in the video of badger is essentially one of the depictions of the game. The other shows 50. BMG headshots in a much bloodier way. For example hitting a man in the arm with the gun would not only kill him ingame but you could also see the arm flying off. Sorry for my bad english. Ain't a native speaker

[@marseldagistani1989]

You know wouldn't it be funny if the US army still used the the M45 Quadmount on the .50 cal, as patrol fire support in case there are no IFVs with the units. I'd Imagine it'd be like Korea when Chinese soldiers charged at a UN force and were shredded by the .50 cals.

You were looking for 7.62*51 NATO Also badger wasn't actually a marine he went through Marine ROTC for college and then realized he didn't want to do it as a career so he just paid for the portion of the scholarship that the Marines paid for because he wanted to focus on making dumb KZbin videos in his own words Edit: it mixed up he actually wanted to pursue a business degree, he talked about it on "the first podcast"

[@happyjohn354]

M14 is a battle rifle better at range than a standard assault rifle do to more bullet weight, velocity, and longer barrel but horrible compared to true DMR's. M14 is literally just a modernized M1 Garand as one of the reasons it was adopted is that it used the same operating mechanism and could be produced on the same manufacturing machines as the M1 Garand. Its also one of the reasons I love the Mini-14 so much its the closest you can get to a modernized M1 carbine.

[@brilobox2]

Funnily enough, I just recently saw some Ukraine combat footage where the headcam wearer was using almost the exact same M240B optic setup as seen in this video.

[@nervykane]

The m14 and its modifications is a great weapon system dude. It’s just harder to train on. The full scale cartridge isn’t in the same vein as the 5.56. Its an amazing weapon though when you get good at being a marksmen or get used to battle rifles. It’s among the only weapons we are allowed to use in the arctic and Alaska because of its far effective range and its reliability.

The Main Line went on for about, what 5 games I think, and my God was the Death Scene such a Jumpscare. I remember seeing @LaurenZside playing the Collection in VR, and I almost Jumped out of my skin in spite of Knowing full well what was coming.

It's the One where you have to go around the Pizzaplex, yes that is what it's called believe it or not..... *SECURITY BREACH!!!* That's it, that's the newest one. Anyway, Speaking of Popular Culture.... Bingus was a Hairless Sphyx cat meme that was out in March 2012, so unless the Marine Corps Manuals were Updated at some point to show something like "Hey, Were all cool here in the Marine Corps" and actually changing the B from "Bravo" to "Bingus" without anyone's knowledge, it's safe to say that portion of the video's a Joke and a Very Funny one considering it's Presentation. The music in the Background while the A-10 Warthog Pilot was sitting in a White Lawn Chair was a Reference to "Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition" and the Series Character Virgil who, Understandably, has "Samurai-like A-10-ish" Powers with his Katana known as "The Yamato" which he can use to Slice and Dice any demons he comes across.

When it comes to that "tiers to hobbies" it's always a perspective thing. The example of collecting figures that were branded to kids feels dumb to a extent since you have sports stuff that are displayed regularly in some peoples houses(my dad had walls of racing cars that just collected dust) with the only difference being that it's marketed to adults. My perspective on the bobble heads called Funko pops is that there lazy in design for following what's basically a template with very little changes to the silhouette of the template. Meanwhile someone else would say my retro game collecting, anime robot collection, and RC car hobbies are childish since they've seen them as kids thing to do.
