I can only assume the goal here is a value proposition that sits temptingly below team red and team green’s similarly performant offerings. They’ll probably sell a lot of them if they make the punch per dollar attractive.

As a Linux user that spent enough time struggling with nvidia drivers, this is really exciting for me. I have a desktop with a Ryzen 7 7800x3d and a Sapphire Nitro+ 7800xt, and a steam deck, so I’m pretty set for both mobile and stationary gaming, but if I ever have to travel for work for anything more than a couple weeks (which could totally be a thing in my industry) I’d love to have a red flavored laptop for mouse and keyboard gaming in a hotel room.

This shit is hilarious.

Yes you’re safe in downtown Detroit. There is always police presence. It’s clean and populated and a beautiful city. The dangerous pockets of Detroit are far outside the downtown area, and usually this fear mongering bullshit comes from suburbanites that live outside the city and rarely visit it because BLACK PEOPLE SCARY.

Like any city, don’t be an idiot and you’ll be fine. Also, check out midtown for some good food and coffee, visit the DIA, our fine art museum that is absolutely gorgeous and packed with history.

It’s fun to learn about over the years but it’s a deep fucking rabbit hole for sure.

You don’t adjust springs for subsonic loads. That’s not a thing. His can didn’t have a Nielsen device. Simple as.

On an auto loading rifle platform you could adjust an adjustable gas block if the weapon is equipped with one, allowing you to tune the gas pressure to ensure reliable function, but a Nielsen device is necessary on any modern handgun that doesn’t have a fixed barrel design.

Not trying to dunk on you, just trying to educate, because I keep seeing a lot of fanciful interpretations of how firearms function.

ITT: people who don’t know what a Nielsen device is.

His “solvent trap” kit built, or street obtained suppressor was not equipped with a Nielsen device, also known as a “piston” or “booster” that allows handguns with a tilting barrel design to cycle with the added weight of a suppressor.

See my comments below. I’m pretty convinced he was manually cycling his slide because his suppressor, whether homemade or street sourced, lacked a Nielsen device or “piston” or “booster”

It’s A LOT to learn, and has been a primary interest of mine for a couple decades, so I love sharing. I also love your big pp energy for updating the original comment.

Edit: decades not days

I’m also of the mind that knowing the limitations of his setup, he trained around his need to manually cycle his weapon. In the video, he did so smoothly and efficiently without any perceptible panic in his movements.
