California uses the technical feasibility of microstamping serial numbers onto a firing pin so as to require any new handguns added to the state’s “roster of safe handguns” have such a firing pin. The 25 micron relief of the stamping can be sanded off in like a minute so the tech is really just a de facto ban on any new designs being legally sold in the state
Another fun fact is he was Jared Leto’s high school(?) teacher

Good point about manageability, the Rygonet feature is an interesting wrinkle & a microcosm of the larger TACOM mechanic.
I noticed the game is on Tabletop Simulator which seems like a low investment way to play (maybe online so no friends needed?) with all the rules already baked in!
I’ve read all 4 armies’ unit descriptions 2 or 3 times now, the 3D printed elves in Land Warrior-era gear of the New Rygolic Host seem the coolest! Alas, I’ve never played a ttrpg besides some D&D campaigns abandoned a few hours in & everything in the text says how NRH is the hardest faction to play.

Nah the hatman visits are from 1200 mg softgels if you fight the sleepiness
No problem glad it made sense!
The big fans you see at the front of jet engines are called compressor blades & they draw in the air. The compressor blade discs neck down progressively which, as you might’ve guessed from the name, compresses the density of the air to cram more oxygen in a given volume for the next stage, combustion. Fuel is burned here, the exhaust gases expand out the back through a series of turbine blades, which are spun by these gases to power the compressor at the front.
The heat from the nuclear reactor causes the compressed air to expand rather than burning fuel. The issue has been getting a reactor that is light enough to fly, yet still has sufficient radiation shielding to not (terribly) irradiate the engine’s airflow. The latter isn’t much a concern for a cruise missile flying over enemy territory, but if you want to recall the missile then you’ve got a reactor that’s going 900kmh without landing gear that you need to dispose of.
Like Demifriend said the original 1979 series is the best start; the YouTube channel GundamInfo has the 3 movies which are a good condensation of the story. Next in the list is the direct sequel, Zeta Gundam, but the New Translation movies leave out some important stuff so the 50 episode series is best for Zeta.
I’d suggest watching Char’s Counterattack after that to finish out the whole Char & Amuro saga, but that’s moreso because the chronologic sequel ZZ Gundam didn’t do it for me & it doesn’t add much to the Char/Amuro arc. You can stick with ZZ and/or get into the One Year War side stories like The 08th MS Team (how I got into Gundam), 0080 War In The Pocket, or 0083 Stardust Memory.
That’s a lotta content for now but from there you can go on to Victory Gundam (doomer Yoshiyuki Tomino trying to get fired) and an amazing payoff to the whole IP in Turn A Gundam (bloomer Tomino believing in multiverses or some shit)
Oof 12 unanswered tries and change, hope they at least won the social!
Ooh please lemme know if you find it!
Eh, close enough to project cybersyn. I’ll take it.

Perfect, I was just about to file a warranty claim on my engine block—I’m hearing a SLAP round bouncing around in there!
Kill the cop in your head & all that, but first thing I notice is his & the Dark Cowboy’s (5 years ago when making a video to Pelosi) lil armalites look 2 or 3 parts too scary for CA libs.
Hey hexbear, check out this dope-ass game

The foregrip on these models with the finned barrels always looked so dinky to me. Like they’d snap off from recoil halfway through magdumping at the coppers
Oh I meant sanding the die off of the firing pin so it doesn’t stamp a serial number onto the casings; the projectile gets marked by the rifling upon firing. Wakmrow posted an article above about how the rifling analysis is subjective, unrepeatable pseudoscience but I don’t think it mentions that polygonal rifling is distinguishable from traditional land & groove rifling. So if a defendant is caught with, say, a glock, finding polygonal rifling on recovered bullets would make such analysis more damning in that case.
