Gun Blog 1

 

Something I've yet to bring up is my own gun hobbies. I have a few firearms and continue to accumulate more to fill in gaps in my own offensive capabilities.

Pistol Caliber Carbine (PCC), a 9mm compact carbine that's ideal for home defense or indoor situations.

I recently came across this Extar EP9 PCC while doing some research.

It is very lightweight while maintaining capabilities featured on rifles, such as a picatinny style top rail or mlok handguard. Even the grip and trigger are AR-style, making it ideal for customizing to the exact specifications you need. It takes glock-style magazines, meaning up to 31 bullets per magazine. Get a load of that, what a feature to have. 

There are others like AK-V or Ruger's PCC, however this one stood out for 2 reasons, the cost of the carbine itself which is in itself, shockingly low for the stated specifications and the product listing page itself in their own statements regarding the firearm. Very convincing without overpitching, a trait that shows restraints while commanding respect in their craft. I respect that.


Looking at that made me also consider also pairing it with a suppressor to complete the set. The color difference would be a bit jarring, but I can always just get a cheap sleeve.

Affordable, cheap, efficient. Talk about an ace in a sleeve.

That's the kind I'd want in my pocket in a game.

Total cost would be 550 + 300 + 10 + Taxes + FFL Fee

Still well under the price of the competition.
Springfield Kuna, CZ Scorpion, AK-V, Ruger PCC still costs more.

I think we have a winner here, but let's keep a tab on things for the time being.

We still have 2 other things to consider: optic and light.

The light, I will likely go with something like nitecore or olight, just depends on their options.

The optic, I'm thinking something like the holosun EPS-GD-MRS for the gold reticle.

Unfortunately, the optic alone is almost the price of the firearm. How crazy. 

Putting those two together definitely raises costs significantly. However, the final result would be quite the chemistry. Perfect little run and gun.

Pepper X

Image
 As stated in my previous blog entries, I ordered some pepper X off ebay. "Pepper X measures an average of 2.693 million Scoville heat units (SHU), beating the previous world record of 1.64 million SHU held by the Carolina Reaper.[1][2] While the seeds of the chili pepper produce no capsaicin, the chemical which produces the pepper's heat, the chemical is produced in highest concentration within the placental tissue holding the seeds.[5] As claimed by Guinness World Records, the curves and ridges of a Pepper X chili create more surface area for its placenta to grow" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepper_X Seems to be potent enough. Although my hopes are not very high considering how lacking the last dab hot sauce was. I expected it to be much hotter, intolerable, but after my experiments, I found it quite lackluster. Yes, very spicy. Yes, very intense. But nothing that really surprised me. It was all within reason. So as to verify my bottle is not just a bad batch, I purch...

One thing I find myself doing a lot is checking my own health markers. I try to stay on top of my own health, mainly due to a lack of health insurance, skepticism of doctors and my own curiosity regarding bodily health and function. To preface, I am a heavy user of cannabis. Specifically, extracts and oils. My main vice is THC-H, but also includes terpenes and other analogs of THC-9 which is deemed illegal beyond a certain threshold(Makes no sense because it's illogical) Cannabis, Marijuana, Ganja, Buddha, you name it, it's called many things. Cannabis sativa, Cannabis indica, Cannabis ruderalis[a] As an understudied medicine and plant(In terms of how it benefits people because big pharma are corrupt and morally bankrupt), I took it upon myself to measure my own usage and effects on me as an individual. Not systemically, but just playing it by ear and ball parking, because I can't be assed to do it formally. What I've noticed in my usage is my tolerance for anything has...

After work thoughts...

Image
There was some sort of party or something going on at work today. I didn't bother to look, but the owner packed me food to take home which is what's pictured. Clearly some hispanic thing, I assume Mexican but the entire central america's has these kinds of dishes so I can't say for sure. As I'm about to eat, I think about the stuff I said today and wonder if anybody actually even reads that stuff. I digress, time to eat and sit on my thoughts while I chew on leftover food. A feast for sure. Guacamole, salsa verde, salsa, cilantro, cabbage, radishes, empanada, tacos, taquitos and one disc shaped thing I'm not entirely sure what it's called. I'll google it later, looks like a mini pizza. update: it was a sope I got about halfway through and tapped out. Consolidated into one to eat later. She even packed me some dessert. How sweet of her. update: I googled the dessert, it seems to be a mexican hojaldre pastry I believe it's apricot jam on the inside bas...
