  3. My son was showing me his new guns yesterday and we were talking about how the perception of plastic has changed so dramatically in my lifetime. For most of us in GenX+, the basic aesthetics of plastic used to send a strong signal, which was: "This is probably cheap, flimsy, crappy." Advances in material science have forced us to re-assess, re-organize. Carbon fiber helped us olds begin to change our priors not just because it was a truly tough material that shared that basic plastic aesthetic, but because (in the beginning, anyway), it also had a consistent SEPARATE aesthetic, with its texturing and trademark surface qualities. It used to be you'd hear the word "polymer" and just roll your eyes and think, "Yeah, plastic." Not so anymore. *EDIT: [Insert something about Glock] :-)

  4. Pro tip: The umlaut means the vowel sound should be followed by (incorporate, mushed with) a short E sound. The correct German pronunciation sounds almost exactly like the American standard English pronunciation of "loosen." When you see the umlaut, imagine the vowel with a hidden E crammed up next to it. Loesen. Kind of like how an eszett ( ß ) is just a glyph that replaces two esses ( SS ).

  9. I see people being safe and responsible and having fun, which is more than I can say for the typical crowd in my local grocery store.

  10. I think parts kits "assembled" in Ukraine by RPCF is more plausible.

  18. That's amazing. Bare-handed. The "button" is some sort of big heat sink radiator thingamajig. I guess. Cool. Ha. Literally. Bare-handed. Subtle difference. But consequential, I imagine.
