A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.

11. No misinformation

NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.

I've had the pleasure of using one, and the reasons for its continued use are many, but I'll list a few:

  • Proven design that works well
  • Ease of maintenance (except from that one bit you absolutely have to remember to flip forward before inserting the bolt carrier, lest you have to drill in from the side to file it off to unjam the bolt carrier)
  • Objectively cool
  • Adds three inches to your penis size (men), a couple of letters to the cup size (women), or either/both for anyone else
  • NATO has literal tonns upon tones of ammo for it. Tha m82 shooter is sure as hell not removing the linked chains from all of it so he can carry it around himself.

Trying to think of what bit you have to flip...

Are you talking about the cocking lever? It needs to be pushed forward prior to pushing the bolt all the way forward into battery, because it catches in a notch at the top of the receiver in order to cock the firing pin (bolt goes back, lever flips forward, and vice versa). But if you put the bolt in with the cocking lever back, which people do a lot, the lever gets stuck on the timing arm attached to the receiver. Barely an inconvenience. But...

Did somebody jam that sumbitch in there so good that you had to destroy the motherfucker? Because that is fucking insane. That's like breaking a steel framing hammer. Like, I get it, but... How!?

It's been 20 years since I lasted opened an m2, so I don't remember exactly, but the part I'm talking about is a fairly nondescript metal piece sticking up from the bolt carrier. I may remember it incorrectly that it has to be back and not forward.

Also, the drill + file is what I was told. I never saw it happen.
