I see we’re still sharing this guide of misinformation.
You can aim at two targets. Phone tracing does not take an hour. You can shoot and disable most locks including the one pictured with most calibers that aren’t a .22. Grenade pins can be pulled with teeth depending on grenade and whether you’re applying tension to the spoon. Gunshot noise is affected by a suppressor, but bullet noise is based on speed, weight, and shape.
- You can report people before 24h have passed but the cops may still want you to wait. They do this because they’re lazy/don’t want to waste time dealing with paranoid folk.
- A gun can be completely silenced when built to do so. Generally using subsonic ammunition and not semi-auto.
Yeah, just pointing out that a suppressor doesn’t affect the bullet sound. If it’s supersonic, it will still crack.
The can just gives the explosion (gunshot) time to expand and slow down. I am intimately familiar with this concept and have a nearly silent build myself.
Edit: sidenote, if you want to shave off a few more decibels from the noise of the shot, add a small amount of material to ablate inside the suppressor. A VERY small amount of water will do in a pinch but petroleum gels are better. I personally recommend a cleaner gel like medical ultrasound gel, very clean and very effective.
To be fair they said “aiming two guns at once is hardly possible”. Means it is with enough practice? Lol. I hate this guide, full of half-truths and misinfo, not to mention completely withholding explanations.
And they used a picture of Neo. Might as well show a picture of Luke Skywalker and bust the “movie myth” that you can use the force to lift objects
I’m very confused on the grenade pin one.
If you held down the level (not sure what it’s called), wouldn’t the pin be fairly easy to remove? Why would that be harder than your teeth?
I’ve never seen a grenade in person.
For real. If it was that hard to pull then people would be dropping live grenades by accident even more than they currently are.
Yes, you hold down the spoon and almost all of the tension gets removed from the pin, it’s made to be easily pulled with one finger by anybody.
If you’re holding the spoon, you can pull the pin.
Fashion is often very impractical so this makes perfect real sense actually
Also what about aiming both at the same target or using them alternating?
Shooting two guns at the same time sucks wherher it is at one or multiple targets.
You can’t look down the sights on both at the same time, and the recoil is goofy because you can’t line both up with your body if aiming at the same target. So you are either shooting one blindly or two awkwardly.
What if shooting alternately?
Aim the left, shoot left, aim right, shoot right
That wouldn’t be shooting two guns at the same time.
I don’t remember exactly because last time I saw the Matrix was two decades ago but i had the impression that Neo didn’t shoot exactly at the same time but alternating, although at superhuman speeds
Edit: yes the handguns were shot alternately https://yewtu.be/watch?v=Z2eCmhBgsyI (at around 1:10), but automatic rifles and uzis were shot at the same time
Nice movie references
The phone tracing one is misleading. It might take hours for the police to get the location from the ISP (I doubt that), but the phone call doesn’t have to be hours long.
Are they talking landlines? Because I’m pretty sure if Police already had contact with cell provider they could find where your phone was (within reason) by seeing which towers it is currently pinging off.
It takes typing a single command to trace a call.
What takes time is getting the authorization to the person with who has the password permission to issue that command.
Very few people at the phone company are allowed access to those commands.
Im wondering about the grenade one. You would have no teeth afterwards? does it take a special leverage tool to remove or a supreme amount of burlyness. its not easy for teeth to be pulled out.
I think it’s the total time including the warrant order
Almost all guns that can cause hearing damage (with repeated firing) without a silencer are still going to cause hearing damage despite that silencer.
It just takes a few more shots to accumulate the same level of auditory damage.
That’s how loud shots are despite the action of silencers. Silencers exist to protect your hearing when you likely only need to fire off one or two shots at most… with such few shots you can avoid the conspicuousness of hearing protection while getting that hit done.
A grenade pin is tight, but if people can open beer bottles with their teeth they definitely can pull the pin on a grenade.
They’re probably referring to the confidence clip. We used to tape the spoon to the grenade because if the pin got caught on your jacket, you’d have a really bad day. There’s actually an extra step before you pull the pin where you sweep your thumb across the spoon to allow the pin to be pulled out. If you just grabbed a grenade and tried to rip the pin out with your teeth, without removing the confidence clip, you’d rip your teeth out.
Oh ya I forgot about that, it’s been like… Close to 20 years
You wouldn’t have remembered if it was 20 years ago. That clip was introduced recently, I remember where I was the first time I saw one and that would’ve been like 2015.
Hmm, they definitely had safety clips back then, I just double checked. So might be a different design, but same concept. I just looked at the m67 Wikipedia page and that looks like what I’ve used.
Naw not 20 years ago, that’s 2004. Here’s an article from the Army talking about their introduction in 09, most Army units wouldn’t have seen till 2010.
I was in the USMC so adding about 5 years till we got them tracks lol. I absolutely was taught in the school house with no confidence clip and I remember what country I was in when I got training on it in 14-15.
Ok, I know nothing about grenades but from what I’ve seen I imagine there’s a spring mechanism and that is clamping the pin down. So wouldn’t pressing down on the clamp make pulling the pin easy/easier?
There are different types of grenades.
Ya, most grenades have a lever called a “spoon” that you press down that relieves some of the tension on the pin, and when you pull the pin and throw the grenade the spoon flies off and ignites the fuse.
MYTH: It looks cool to spoon two grenades at once and watch the pieces fly off in slow motion.
TRUTH: It looks very cool.
Jake Sully did this in his Avatar body during the Assault on the Tree of Souls, after Turuk Maktow put him on top of Colonel Quaritch’s Dragon command craft.
And yes: very, very cool.
It is not a myth that shooting two guns at once looks cool. It looks cool AF.
Right?! Looking cool and being effective are two different things. I know what they went for but really poorly worded that one.
Iron padlocks?
I knew the asteroid one, but it still baffles my mind to this day.
It’s not a myth that shooting two guns at once looks cool. It looks super cool. Accuracy has nothing to do with how cool it looks.
Padlock shackles haven’t been made of iron for around 120 years. They’re made of case-hardened steel.
I’m pretty sure you can hear someone who is yelling while skydiving, because my friend has a video of him skydiving and you can hear him yelling in the video. Camera microphones are usually worse at picking up sounds in heavy winds than human ears are.
Some of the others seem suspicious too, but I’m not sure enough to dispute.
The Defibrillator thing is very misleading. Yes, a Defibrillator alone cannot restart a heart. You need to do CPR and if you can combine it with a Defibrillator (operated by a doctor or an AED) you actually have a chance of reviving someone (obviously there is no 100% success rate and the person needs to be “freshly” dead).
Yeah but this is referencing the movie trope where the person has a fully stopped heart and they shock it back to life. In reality applying cpr is just keeping the blood pumping to supply the brain with oxygen in the hope the body restarts the heart itself. That’s why modern defib machines check the nerve impulses to see if shocking it would help. Of there is no heartbeat, it won’t help and will refuse to shock. Once the body restarts the heart but the rhythm isn’t correct shocking can help. The shocks also aren’t huge shocks where the person violently lurches up and putting in more energy won’t help either. The machine checks the rhythm and applies a series of shocks to help the nerves regain their normal pattern and thus tell the heart to pump in the right sequence and speed. Just randomly zapping will probably do more harm than good.
It’s pretty nice the emergency defib machines we have all over the place these days are smart enough to help without needing to know how it does their thing. Because 80s and 90s TV and movies have muddied the water quite a bit.
Well but a defibulator isn’t used to restart a stopped heart. You only shock for Vtac or Vfib. When in doubt, turn it on, put the pads on and the machine will say ‘shock suggested’. If not just do CPR.
Someone’s never played Pistol Whip.
Pistol Whip has an auto aim mechanic. You can disable it in the challenge settings and see how impractical it actually is to dual wield handguns
I disable it and see how awesome I still am.
I have watched the LPL open a padlock with a ramset gun 🙄
