This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

in-built, automatic tactile feedback that you need to reload because you feel 2 shots instead of 3

better than the british solution of "count in your head how many bullets you've used and reload when you hit 30"

My thoughts exactly. More guns need better UX design. The Garand had its ping, this gun has its dud-dud, the barret 50 cal blows a lil hiss of gas out the bottom of the mag when its empty like an exasperated sigh, the P90 you can literally just see the last round get sucked into its witchcraft mechanism.

I once saw a funny P90 review on youtube. But i can never find it now. Some P90 fan please hook me up.

Well we all know immediately what you mean by this

Probably because YouTube banned all firearm videos.

I rented one at a range once. It was extra neat.

lmfao, monkeys when they see a funky spiral leading into a fancy piston

There are no monkeys in that video. I am very disappointed.

The P-90 is a magical lil nightmare.

The ideal would be a dustbuster-shaped thing that you'd operate by pushing buttons with your thumb.

why can’t they just look at their ammo counter on the hud like everyone else

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago

I personally use the screen on the rifle that shows how many bullets are left in the magazine

Real pogchamps turn HUD off

[–] [email protected] 54 points 3 months ago

Yep, it's just good design

A proper tactile, audible and visual feedback with practical application is called a bolt hold open and it even speeds up a reload.

Wondering if you felt x-1 rounds leave the rifle to determine if a reload is needed is the kind of engineering that made even the french abandon this for a german made HK416

Shadow Moses Island wasn’t liberated from terrorists with a HK416. No thanks.

If we're going by that logic, every house needs two things: a USP .45 and a NIKITA Remote Control rocket launcher.

You have my vote.
