The mad lads at the Black Lotus Coalition have come up with a 3D printed belt fed rifle that used AR parts and can use a forced reset trigger.

And the first thing they did was figure out mounting a fleshlight to the stock.

I mean this as a compliment: y’all are gay as fuck.

Stoner's corpse is still out here smoking on Opps, I'm just saying.

FN: We have to cancel the SCAR.

The ghost of Eugene Stoner seeing that we have venerated his seventy year old basic work rifle and that we will not let it die:

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

ICE are not to be trusted.

I don’t care your citizenship status.
I don’t care your skin color.
I don’t care who you think you’re connected to or what your job is or what cameras are recording.

They are evil.
They will commit evil upon your community.
Do not abide.

Stay fucking dangerous.

This is chop. He was shit and killed by masked assailants in plain clothes who go by ICE. They showed up at his door “looking for migrants after receiving a tip.” He was put in a bathroom, but an agent broke in, opened the bathroom, and shot him. None of the agents rendered any aid.

How to Zero a Rifle:

A basic but super necessary topic for people to get. If your zero is off your shooting won’t be straight and despite being queer this is the one time I’ll say not being straight is a bad thing.

“We are considering terminating business with China having to do with Cooking Oil, and other elements of Trade, as retribution.”

Trump: I believe that China purposefully not buying our Soybeans, and causing difficulty for our Soybean Farmers, is an Economically Hostile Act. We are considering terminating business with China having to do with Cooking Oil, and other elements of Trade, as retribution. As an example, we can easily produce Cooking Oil ourselves, we don't need to purchase it from China.

California just passed a ban on handguns that “can be converted to full automatic.”

They mean to ban Glocks. But I literally don’t know a semiautomatic handgun that CAN’T be converted to fully automatic with the right work applied.

Until it’s torn down it’s going to be bad for everyone in Cali.

Hi there, and welcome to #FridayFucksorSucks, a weekly game with simple rules: guns fuck, or they suck.

This week, we have the Sedgley Mk 2. Also called the OSS 38, it is a single shot, smooth bore, .38 special pistol designed by Naval Intelligence specifically to commit perfidy (a war crime) with.

The gun, which looks like a mechanism strapped to the back of a normal work glove because, well, that's what it is for the most part.

The patent that demonstrates the firing mechanism as well as how it's expected to be used as a punch kill weapon.

The break open action swung open showing how to load a round.

The most famous use of one is in fiction, this is the gun that was highlighted by Inglorious Bastards. It should be noted that that was a work of fiction and there is zero evidence of one ever having been fired in the field.

I'm sure a non-zero part of the reason they stayed completely unfielded is anybody with legal training would look at the intended use case and go "hold on a second, buddy, you're about to commit a war crime," especially military personnel as it's one of the war crimes the US military cares about.

Queer Armorer @queerarmorer.bsky.social · 6d

These weren't purely theoretical!

About 200 were issued to US Navy personnel, most of which never left their boxes but that makes it beyond even a prototype and into what could technically be referred to as a properly adopted weapon with a military designation ("Hand Firing Mechanism, Mk 2.")
