    Using the law is a tricky enterprise.  In an instance when someone has taken the piss in so grievous a manner, you may be better off going to kung fu classes, giving up work for a few weeks and getting into explosive physical condition.  
     
    Side kicking the door in and casually spinning a set of nunchucks as you enter may adjust the bounders attitude considerably.

    I have used it a couple of times, much better than GPS.

    I used it to report an unexploded and rather corroded shell on Dartmoor in the summer.

    We had a good look at it, just in case it was a nice, harmless solid shot that could have come home with us.  The rear fuse put an end to that idea so we wandered off to higher ground to get a signal and phoned the range office.  We were rather disappointed that they decided not to come out to dispose of it.

    I’d be more inclined to go with “run for it” 😳

    It is called momentum.  A moving object will not stop dead unless a brake is applied to it; it will come to a halt once it has been slowed sufficiently by friction or another form of resistance.

    It does not have a name in airsoft; it is just something that happens.

    That would seem to be a reasonable decision; however, the double o ring nozzles can be a bit sticky.  Single ones usually work fine.

    Err..measure the existing one?

    Alternatively, if you want to take a punt, it is an M4, so a standard 21.4mm M4 nozzle should do the trick.

    Yes, if it will fit.  It is not that different from a LiPo.
     
    The space in the stock is rather limited.
     
    I have a Valken stick 7.4v 2500mAh Li Ion which is about 4mm too long.

    Only if it has a G&G ETU trigger unit fitted.

    You are going to need a stand-alone mosfet such as a Gate Nano AAB or ASR, or a Perun AB++ or Mosfet.

    Yes, the Acts themselves were not the issue.  It just led me to wonder how many sites were potentially invalidating their insurance by selling pyro.

    Not sure encouraging players to break site rules (no matter how ridiculous you believe that rule to be) and just accept a ban if/when it happens is a good look.
     
    Everyone should play by the rules if you don't like the rules find another site. It's pretty simple.

    CO2 weapons have been banned at Ace Combat for years, due to concerns about the potential for them to be overpowered on the first shot or two from a fresh bulb and about the potential for a gun suddenly going hot due to system problems.  Are those reasonable concerns? Discuss.

    I cannot think why anyone would play there; it is a small, flat, boring site.

     
    That is an argument for proper chronoing of CO2 pistols, not for banning them.

    Constructing fictions and accumulated unspoken inconsistencies is what humans do; we create our own versions of events and our needs according to our own perceptions, biases, interpretations, needs, culture, whatever in order to support our inner narrative.  That is reflected in your point that, at least until very recently, we generally regard ourselves as never having been better off despite the spiralling cost of both rented and owned housing, which is putting the possibility of owning their own home beyond the capability of many people.  It is also intrinsic to how political and other organisations appeal to people; if they can understand what people feel is of value to them, whether materially, in terms of their self-perception and with regard to their perception of the world external to them, they can get their support, whether in terms of votes or donations to a cause.

    I take your point on tax and spend now that you have expanded on it.  Taxation is a curious tool in that it can have unforeseen impacts on revenue; the same does apply to a large extent to government spending where the impact is often not what was expected.  However, I am not quite convinced that the finances of a state do not resemble those of a household, at least not in all cases given how many households are funded by virtually unrepayable debt.  This could, of course, lead into an interesting discussion about fiat money and whether it really is credit money or whether there is no real difference between the two.
