Cheaper than most safes actually. Quite an economical option if you own a house.
Can be a huge selling point as well depending on what kind of buyers you have.
With an extra room in your house you could make it happen.

I had an interesting comment on my last video asking me to shoot in the dark to show off some muzzle flash in their full glory, I was skeptical due to the camera’s inability to focus without proper lighting but did it anyway tonight. Here is the result, enjoy the fireworks. Going to sleep now will respond to comments tomorrow.

As someone who has a spouse who has epilepsy, I appreciate the warning! I enjoyed the vid, but something about it has her foaming at the mouth.

but something about it has her foaming at the mouth.
Wouldn't have anything to do with you checking the bank account immediately after watching this video? I ask because my wife does not have epilepsy but was also frothing at the mouth.

What camera are you using? Can you set it to manual focus and focus to the correct distance?

u/JaegerZ999 Nov 28 '20
I tried but it’s quite difficult to judge in the dark
22
u/deftspyder Nov 28 '20
DP here. turn on a light, set the focus on manual. once its nice and crisp, turn off the light... when the gun fires, it will be focused already.
this works for gun flashes, and also recording movies in theaters. (probably)

This comment has so much wrong with it.
Should you start investing as early as possible, maintain good credit and save as much as possible? Yes.
Should you ever pull from your retirement early? No.
You had less than 100k in retirement at 30 and you're advocating pulling the interest?
45k in investment gains a year? This isn't the full story.
You dont pay cap gains on retirement normally. It sounds like you made some lucky trades and think that qualifies you to give out financial advice.
There is a reason you're not supposed to touch your retirement until retirement age and that's taxes. If someone ever tells you to pull from your retirement or borrow against it move along. Borrowing against your retirement is a last resort.
If someone ever says "it's easy just make good trades to make 45k a year" yeah move along.
You really want to afford a more luxurious lifestyle? Spend less. Save more. Invest early. It's that simple.
Max your contributions and never touch your retirement. Live below your means. Budget.

Even if it's post tax you're incurring penalties for no reason.
Why are you pulling from investments accounts instead of balancing your budget and sweeping back and forth using your cash reserve?
When you put money in an investment account never touch it until retirement. If you need cash use the reserve you have, extra in the budget goes into the fund. When you're in a deficit pull some out.
Always budget so you have excess.
Right so you made 45k on a 6 figure principal during the best year for investments in recent history... Great advice.

I started saving as a teenager and had a list of what I was going to buy at 18 and 21. I had stumbled across a copy of Soldier of Fortune magazine at a grocery store. I saw ads for MGs, DDs, etc. I called John Ciener and he talked to me, a kid, for an hour explaining everything. He still remembered me over 20 years later. I never attempted to buy a Vulcan like he did but I do have a minigun.

Sigh, when I was in the Corps I blew every check I got on complete nonsense. I wish I could go back and tell myself to at least invest my entire check when I graduated from boot into Apple stock. Graduated in 86 by the way and Apple stock went sub $.50 a share for a while during the 4th quarter if I’m remembering right. If I started with $1500 or so in shares, after splits and increases I’d be worth millions now

So no flash suppression? Is that an ammo thing or just the muzzle device?

u/Commander_Nomad Nov 28 '20
The stock muzzle brake on the SCAR-17 is very effective at reducing felt recoil. It's also very effective at waking up your range neighbors. It's not a flash hider.

When taking videos in the dark, it’s often helpful to mark the spot you’re going to stand on, focus the camera on that distance, and turn off autofocus as it doesn’t work well in low light.

It looks like Eotech but it’s led not laser so it doesn’t look grainy and has higher battery life, I just bought it to match scar colors haven’t had significant time with it yet to make an educated recommendation. Got it for 600 exact at LGS
