Some are just titty streamers that use the virtual avatar to rectify their lack of real-life looks I assume, though some of it is also probably the anonymity of not showing their real face as part of their online personality. You're probably right that “independent” vtubers are practically factory-made though, I believe a lot of them buy a premade model from artists and then work from there, even at the corporate level.
The big butthurt was over putting an air-to-ground capable radar on it. The mafia thought this was a deliberate sabotage so that the F-15 could remain the air-to-air star.
Most Reformers consider anything not visual ID as iffy at best, a liability at worst. Aircraft aren't really my thing, but thinking on it, seems like the original pure fighter F-16 would have been a fix to the F-4's problem's in 'Nam. Which the F-15 was supposed to be, until the Pentagon ruined it by putting a second engine and enough electronics to kill things before they got in gun range, ruining it as a dog fighter.
I wonder if Boyd ever spontaneously let out "Oorah!" during his time in the Air Force.
Yes. That's why they love him.
The F-15 being the better bomb truck all along is somewhere between sad and funny.
The bolt and piston design of an AK are based on the M1 Garand's, but flipped upside down. The AK's piston is above the barrel, while the M1 Garand's piston is below the barrel.
It really streamlined the system quite a bit. The Garand still lives on today in the AK, and is beyond LP's comprehension that a Ruskie could somehow make a western system better
I would honestly argue that the Finns and the Swiss make the best AK's.
My AK's one of those rebuilt ex-East German ones...no complaints.
My AK is a Saiga 7.62 that I snagged well before the import ban, and converted myself. I've got like $500 into it... I still have the box.
Nice. I also have my first AK, one of the good Gen3 Palmetto State Arms AKs, but my ex-DDR one is my pride and joy. One stays at home, one stays in the trunk. I would buy a proper AK-74, but good luck getting 5.45x39mm at anything but "Assrape" pricing.
10 years ago I could have got a 556 for cheap. Local gun shop took it in trade from a Trooper on a LWRC. It weighed close to 9 lbs with an unloaded mag. Trooper went to one training class with it and decided he needed something lighter.
This would just be something "cool to have". My AR that has a light and an Comp M4 weighs significantly less than that, lmao.
It's the Galil and only half of that is Tom Siezemore in HEAT. The other half is an excuse to point out Israeli Galili's birth name was Yisreali Balashnikov and he only changed it after he started working on adopting the Kalashnikov for Isreal.
The Galil is literally a Valmet in 5.56 with a bipod, a carry handle, and a vertical knob welded to the charging handle.
