After plenty reading, I'm hearing the most important factor is being able to perform well with your ship above all else. I'm a returning player who hasn't touched the game in a few years, but my two all-time favorites were the St. Louis and Phoenix. Mostly the St. Louis though, due to its absurd number of cannons, high ROF, and ability to set fires. Watching the damage trickle and opponents wither away from slow burns was great. I've also enjoyed some BBs as well, particularly the ones with decent range--I find that's important for me as I'll easily overextend myself and run straight into a pile of enemies if not given the chance to sit back for a minute and read the situation.

I appreciate you taking the time to read through and give a little advice, whether it be as a student or alumnus! I'm well aware the question has been asked before, but situations are always a little different for everyone.

Backstory: I'm in my early 30s. I've been running my own business for a few years now, and I'm looking for an out. Unfortunately, I don't have loads of employment history to fall back on, so when applying for decent jobs, I'll hear that I'm underqualified. If applying for lousy jobs, I'll hear that I'm overqualified. Rough spot to be.

I'm very familiar with computers and have plenty experience troubleshooting them. Frankly, I'm too cheap to pay someone to do it, s

Alternatively, your favorite PCP at or below $300 that can be easily regulated for an extra $100.

I've gone through two faulty Hatsan Flashpups. I was then sold on an AV Avenger Bullpup by one of the techs. Besides the mushy trigger, essentially everything about that rifle was a significant improvement over the Flashpup. The lever action was smooth, and the optics rail height was about as good as it gets.

Unfortunately, I've discovered that the Avenger pup has some faulty gauges in it. Neither the main tank nor the regulator gauges are reading correctly. It unfortunately took me a month of chronograph tests and a hundred bucks in pellets to figure out what was going on.

Hoping y'all can give me a few recommendations for a decent springer (or a gas piston if they're reliable these days), and I've been searching high and low for a week now with no luck. Reason being, I have a bit of a checklist.

Here are a few things I'm looking for:

  • .22 preferably. 20+ FPE. I know, your grandfather with a .177 and perfect shot placement took down an Do-217 over Normandy, but I'd still prefer a little extra energy.
  • Accuracy. At 30 yards, I can understand a flier, but not an inch group.
  • Iron sights. Absolutely no TruGlo either. I'm oldschool and need that precise, thin, blued metal front post. Like the one your grandfather had on his .177 in Normandy.
  • Under-

I've scoured the internet looking for opinions on this and haven't seen much of anything except some complaints from 15 years ago about Ebon Hand being too expensive to make.

Shadowpanther.net shows Ebon Hand doing a fair bit better in PvP than Persuader, and I suppose that might come down to the DPS and slightly higher top end, but is it actually that much better than Persuader which has 1% crit and hit?

I'd expect both of them to be neck and neck, frankly, with Persuader maybe barely inching out over EH.

Anyone have any experience with th

Edit: AV is asymmetrical. There are advantages for Alliance and advantages for Horde. There are disadvantages for Alliance and disadvantages for Horde. This rant post has absolutely nothing to do with the map layout, starting zone placement, or even “fairness”. It’s not a cry about Alliance finally having their turn or whatever—couldn’t care less, because these are rival factions in a goddamn video game we’re playing together, not an actual IRL military conflict where Side A is trying to mercilessly snuff out Side B.

This is entirely about the “meta” of losing quickly for more efficient honor gain per hour. Play the damn game to have fun. I don’t want to steamroll every game, because that

I've a Romanian contract one that appears to be in damn near mint condition. Barrel looks great, crown looks great, the crest was filed off of course (looks to be a 1939). The bolt and barrel are immaculately blued. All serials match.

Trouble is, I can't hit a damn thing with it. At about 100 yards I was hitting around 8" high which seemed plausible as the rear sight starts out at the 300m mark. But those groups? We're talking 12" if not 18" at 100yd.

I have an old garbage rod Mosin from 1929 that I can plink Coke cans with at 100 yards, so I don't believe I'm the problem here, but I won't rule out it could be me because the sights are absolutely horrendous. I even tried to nail polish t

Not sure if I can post links to auction websites, but I'll assume I can't until someone tells me otherwise. In the meantime, I'll do my best to describe the situation.

First and foremost, sporterizing military surplus guns ought to be a crime. That said, here's what I'm looking at:

This is a CZ vz24 rifle priced at $400. It's got the CZ crest with a serial ending in K3 which puts it somewhere towards the end of production. It's got a .30-06 barrel on it which could mean a couple of things from what I've gathered. Either it went to South America and was rebarreled there in the 50's, or it was bought dirt cheap as surplus and was rebarreled, probably in the US.

The barrel has a mirror sh
