While it’s true that in most situations the baddies would probably be the ones using the magic guns that doesn’t mean the good guys can’t use it, for example with Harry Potter you couldve had the Weasleys using suped up Sten guns to fight the dark wizards to their advantage who would smear at such technology. Really it’s down to what the writer wants to impress.

For the same reason we don’t use MOABs for everything? Sometimes you only want to kill some people or perhaps you want to leave the surrounding area intact.

1·3 hours agoAntique steam engines and old steam behemoths as I like to call them, hyper specialized machines that we simply don’t build anymore that were used to carve out the Kiel, Panama, and Suez canals.
Rate of fire, accuracy, range, and additional bullshit. Most of the limitations on fire arms are due to material science, weight, or just keeping it clean for example a lot of MGs have overheat issues with continuous fire, heavier rifles weigh a lot, and caseless firearms are stupidly complex making them prone to failing due to dirt build up for example.
Mind you this depends on the settings limitations but something as simple as a cooling rune on an MG42 turns into from the huns buzzsaw into the huns sawmill since there would be at minimum reduced risk of barrel slag. You could have single soldiers treating M2 browning like fucking grease guns, weild .50 cal snipers like 1911s, or teleport ammo right into a Heckler & Koch G11 so as to never have to disassemble it to reload.
That’s just what I can think of off the top of my head, if the setting allows you could probably create a magitech self charging lasgun from Warhammer 40k, so basically just an archeotech lasgun from 40k.
To quote Speaker D “This is because the metric for OH, FU- is three to six guys with shotguns hanging out somewhere they weren’t expecting”. This is a quote in relation to World of Darkness by the way.

1·16 hours agoIt does have some niche uses for very specific types of vehicles. But yeah for power grid generation it’s fucking worthless.
It does take a certain level of intelligence to thrive in that type of environment and survive. I’m pretty sure Donald only survived because he wasn’t worth the bullet and just kept not imploding somehow.

2·17 hours agoI can also see that. I just thought of Hovind because I watched some of the professor Dave video on Hovind he released recently.

1·18 hours agoYa know I’m aware they are basically the inbred cousin of the old Avalanche trucks that is to say an SUV with a slight bed but I feel like a single cab cyber truck would look better and be more functional.

52·1 day agoI feel like you should probably do this study again outside of BYU and more generally outside of Utah, Mormon culture especially Utah Mormon culture is weird and could definitely fuck with a study like this.
Though fun bit of personal experience with this exact scenario, my grandmother has better general visual awareness while my non visual awareness is a lot better overall. This means I subconsciously avoid things around me due to feel, sound, and smell but can be looking directly at something and not see it. Probably has something to do with the fact my eyesight is naturally fucked though, so my edge vision is basically useless for everything outside of movement since it’s basically just a blurry blob.
Also 50 cent has a couple alright games. They aren’t great but honestly for a celebrity game they’re only outclassed by the Riddic games.

2·2 days agoI’m a Stewart and my ancestors were primarily focused on merchantry before and after leaving Scotland for New Hampshire so… Highland and lowland I guess. It becomes real fucking blurry outside of our oral history that our cadet branch was created by one of the Stewart Kings for merchantry specifically to prevent a stupid succession squabble. Beyond that fuck if I know.
Found the Mennonite.

4·2 days agoNo I’m of Scots, Irish, English, Norwegian, and High German descent. Sure I may share some common ancestoral kinship with some Icelanders but that’s going back a thousand years minimum.
She was the lady of Dunbar during the second war of Scottish independence. She rather famously held the castle from pro-English forces through most of the war.
Nothing will replace a good mortar or howitzer. I’m not even joking, you can disrupt a drone but the 20mm HE mortar shell? No so much.

Unless you got a Black Agnes hiding in there it ain’t gonna do much.
It ain’t a super power, it is simple gluttony that would put the greatest of kings to shame. I live for the cheese.
