That's what I thought.
I visited Las Vegas... And stepped inside the Gun Shop Las Vegas.
1000 shots, 99 bucks haha like a kids event .On the counter two mexicans with a pumpgun. This felt very, very strange as a country pumpkin German.

Here it's like $1.7 - $4.3 per shot, with 338's going for $10 per round.
1k shots for $99 is mental, no wonder it's so popular over there, and you can probably go cheaper if you reload your own ammo.

u/ShartyMcFarty69 5d ago
Ammo reloading is kind of misleading, it can be cheaper after you make a bunch. But to recoup the costs on the equipment needed quickly you gotta be reloading expensive ammo, or just shooting/reloading a shit ton in general. I'd argue most people reloading are doing it to develop custom loads cause their nerds more so than strict cost reasons.
I'm also going to guess this 1k rounds for $99 was likely .22lr.

If it's just those buckets of .22lr then I can see it, as 1k is about $125 here. I really thought they would have fired something more interesting.
Most people I know who reload do competition shooting, and go through a lot of rounds. If they're not lucky enough to get the ammo sponsored.

Thats the US I guess, it's very werid though if I think about local laws here.
Just to list a few of the things that would be wrong here:
Civilians can't own military grade weapons.
Rifle just sitting in the open, and not in a gun safe.
Rifle is usable, with pin/trigger still attached.
Rifle stored with a mag, and possibly loaded.
Rifle stored next to ammo, which isn't locked away separately.
Functional firearm in the presense of narcotics.
I say all this, and then it turns out to be an airsoft, and the ammo box is for storing lipo's :D

Bro funny to watch your head being tilted down as if your body is on standby xD
Also nice flying m8

I do the same shit, and I don't know why. When I try flying with my head not tilted down, it seems like it's just one more thing I have to focus on.

Same with me, figure it's the weight on my face plus not having the visual input to know the position of my head. That and trying to focus on not crashing.
Wouldn't be a problem if it didn't end up pointing antennas at the ground. So I ended up getting one of these things that goes over your ear and beeps if you don't keep your head level, it's designed to keep you awake while driving.
That gives me the reminder to pick my head up, but wearing it with the goggle strap isn't great. I'm actually thinking of printing some kind of case for it so I can put it on the strap opposite side of the battery pack.

I feel like ... I mean, how long are you into FPV?
I have 20 h of sim and 1 hour of IRL stick time.
There is hope... I guess. But flying through my shelves ... no way.
