  • It's not uncommon to see massive trucks with insanely bright LED lights (a certain personality type), which puts the lights just about windshield level on a sedan.

    What's extra fun is now the lights also blind drivers going the same direction as the truck, as every mirror in the sedan is filled with light.

  • They are individuals with organic brains, there isn't a way to just hit a button an reset them. Both sides lost the war, but the cyborgs lost it harder and many cyborg individuals ended up scattered and in a universe full of beings not exactly thrilled to see them.

  • My interpretation of the passage was that, upon racking the slide, you’d have a trigger pull weight between the two.

    Your interpretation is simultaneously correct. If you insert a magazine on a closed Glock and pull the trigger nothing will happen. You need to rack it once to get the first round into the chamber. When you fire that racked round, you get the intermediate trigger pull- but also any other round you fire has the exact same pull.

    I think the way it was explained above is bringing in other types of triggers as a comparison (DA/SA triggers), and if you don't know anything about them, you just end up more lost trying to read it out.

  • semiautomatic pistol full auto with a fucking shoestring.

    The shoestring machinegun that got the ATF letter was a Mini-14 (which importantly had an exposed reciprocating charging handle) if I recall correctly, and it was still very janky. I'm trying to figure out the engineering of the same concept with a Glock with just a string and I am having some trouble.

  • Just the trigger. A safety in the "handle" would be a grip safety, which some guns have but not Glocks (unless it is some obscure small run model, but certainly none of the common ones). It looks like an extra panel on the back of the grip which is squeezed into the grip when held.

  • The other commenter is saying the same thing, just in perhaps a less clear way. I think they are saying the Glock's trigger weight is between what you would expect of a heavy double action and a light single action. The Glock is a consistent weight every time. The design is often referred to as "safe action striker" or often informally just as "striker" fired. The design lacks a large and heavy hammer that needs to be actuated. Many designs after Glocks were introduced have copied this idea, making it a common alternative design to hammer fired.

  • It's been a while since I read the book on Glock history, but my memory is that before Glocks many police departments used double action revolvers (S&W 29s for a common example). This lead to police habitually resting their fingers on the triggers. Bad habit, but they got away with it because of the ultra heavy triggers.

    When departments switched to Glocks there were a rash of negligent discharges as police kept putting their fingers on the much lighter trigger. One incident in particular where a cop shot a suspect because of this. Despite it being a training issue, many departments became wary of Glocks, so adjustments like the NYPD trigger were born as a way to placate the issue.

  • California still has a 10 round magazine capacity limit for ordinary private ownership, I believe. (Last I heard the ruling striking it down was stayed).

    So, did this cop negligently just leave a super illegal thing (by California legal standards) on the floor for some medical technician to eventually pick up and get legally slapped for?

  • I almost always do physical art. Whenever it has digital elements, the process is very convoluted. I'll take a physical drawing, scan it, and then trace the lines in GIMP and add colors after. I don't use any "proper" digital art tools.
