  1. Not having to do that is a perk of being a premium member. Want that perk? Go premium for a month, download your collection, and call it a day.
  2. Well again ... isn't that in the nature of consumer choice ... rather than personal defense and self preservation ? Pistol grips / High capacity magazines / pump action (better than bolt action) for the consumer choice of how best to preserve your liberty ? What about less than lethal options in still satisfying the castle doctrine core principal ? IDK ... where does the luv of guns pervert what is the right of self preservation ? Personally, I think banning something on the grounds of what it 'looks like', is idiotic. Restricting magazine size is rather useless as well. I can change magazines in my various mag-fed weapons in under 2 seconds. So, if you are only allowed a 10 round magazine, just carry more of 'em. But, the politicians passing these laws, have no clue.... Which I suppose, really isn't surprising either. I have a couple rifles that would be classed as "assault weapons" by the left. None of them have ever fired a shot that they weren't directed to. None of them have killed anyone. They wait patiently in the gun safe, for me to come and get them..... They don't whine about being locked away in the dark either. They are very well behaved. You are not making a very good argument for needing them to secure your life liberty and the pursuit of happiness . Not so very long ago, three guys broke out of the local prison...... They stole a car, and made their way to a home not far from me. While they were there, they raped the wife, and 14 year old daughter, beat the crap out of dad, then stole their car, and left. Dad was a fine, upstanding leftist, and did not have any weapons in his home. After this particular incident, dad now has a concealed carry permit, and doesn't go ANYWHERE without his sidearm. I live out in the sticks, so, police response time is at a very minimum, 30 minutes. WAY too much can happen in that 30 minutes. I will NOT be left defenseless because some idiot kid thought it would be a good idea to commit suicide by cop, and see how many little kids he could take with him.

  4. Restrictions on weapon 'style', (pistol grips, flash supressors, bayonet lugs, etc.) magazine capacity, and so on. Rate of fire really isn't relevant, as full-auto, or burst-fire weapons are prohibited for the civilian population. (and have been since around 1934.....) Side Note: At one time, the dems wanted to classify pump-action shotguns as "assault rifles" as well.
  5. Ok, that actually worked. :D Here is the mod.
  6. One of the lessons learned in Vietnam was that most people didn't have enough fire control and / or trigger discipline to adequately handle an automatic weapon. Thus, most military personnel are now issued semi-automatic weapons. Few are issues what are called squad assault weapons (SAW) which are capable of automatic fire. A few other units are issued weapons which have "burst fire", where three rounds are fired per trigger pull vs one or "empty the magazine". But the general rule is that most units do not get automatic weapons for everyone. So the AR15 IS a military grade weapon, capable of a high volume of fire in a short period of time. With that, you can blame any political party you want, any nonprofit organization you want, or any extremist organization you want. You can twist the truth any way you want, but the reality is simple; without the guns, there are no mass shootings. Americans who are too stupid or too insane to join with the rest of the world and keep these weapons out of the hands of civilians. Now, back to the subject under discussion. The support to Ukraine by America, Canada, the EU and several other nations is more than likely to drive Putin and the Russian army into a frenzy wherein they escalate. Um. No. The standard US army (and marines, etc.) rifle is selective fire. A fair few of them also have a 'burst' fire mode. (fires three shots for each pull of the trigger.)
  7. Pretty much anything you feel like spending the money on. Vid card prices *seem* to be coming down, so, probably not a bad time to buy.
  8. Gun laws have become more restrictive over time, not less. Of course, the AR-15 has been on the market since around 1962, yet the prevalence of mass shootings are an advent of recent history. So, what has changed? Society. And not for the better. Where did that change come from? Social media? The democrats? Something else? Doesn't really matter any more, the change is here, and continuing, and we have only been seeing MORE mass shootings. Would banning 'assault rifles' make a difference? Likely not. as pistols and shotguns are usually the weapons of choice. Mainstream media just pushes the narrative that every mass shooter has used a so-called 'assault rifle'. Also, the AR-15 is NOT a "military grade" weapon. It is SEMI-automatic. No military in the world equips their combat troops with semi-auto weapons. Those are all selective fire. We haven't sent any AR-15's to Ukraine, now have we? They get M-4's (an AR-15 variant) and howitzers.
  9. Find the mod somewhere else. Hidden means exactly that. You can't see it.
  10. As he spews on about gun control..... Hhhhmmmm..... I am not going to engage any further here. This thread is NOT about gun control in the US, it's about the war in Ukraine. Think you can stick to the topic?
  11. Erm, What??? I am having trouble understanding what you are trying to say here. i can ease your trouble but only if you understand that. it is a clear statement. if american society is not able to at least force politics to release a nationalwide background check this society and its politcians simply lie and fail if they claim they love their children. it is pathetic and inhuman to watch this without consequences as a result. it is a huge national problem of a society and politics which permanently fails to solve their true and obvious weaknesses and instead supports a uniquely short sighted and block headed weapon lobby. i can not see that anything of this is better than watching the slaughter of families in the ukraine on their own ground without doing anything. i have nothing to add. Erm, a background check IS required for the purchase of a firearm...... even at gun shows. No matter how much the left would have you believe otherwise, the vendors at gun shows, that are actual businesses, do background checks ON THE SPOT before selling someone a weapon. It is a REQUIREMENT for ANY vendor at the show. Now, private citizens selling weapons to each other in the parking lot, is a completely different story. Sure, you could pass some law that would require a private citizen to do a background check before selling someone a weapon, however, it would be impossible to enforce. The NRA doesn't sell weapons, doesn't make weapons, or ammo. They are essentially a 'gun club', or, more accurately, a 'gun owners club'. Do they have a lobbying element? You bet.
  12. Premium members shouldn't have speed limits, even with an adblocker. (theoretically, premium members don't see ads in any event?) Could try turning off your adblocker, and see if anything changes.
  13. Erm, What??? I am having trouble understanding what you are trying to say here.
  14. Is this for Fallout 4, or Fallout New Vegas?
  15. Did you uninstall all of your original mods??
  16. Personally, I think having more than one application to do the exact same thing, to the same programs, really isn't a good idea...... :)
  17. Wouldn't purging all mods first work?? Theoretically, that should remove any detritus left behind by mods installed via vortex.....
  18. Keep in mind, water doesn't act the same way as say, concrete foundation blocks. If you put in a water plane, it extends ALL the way down. So, no underwater tunnels that aren't also filled with water.
  19. Don't own a Dodge Van by any chance do ya? :) (a member from another site is legally blind, and I have been helping him and his wife troubleshoot some problems.) Can you find an older version of the package that used to work?
  20. What is the exact error message? Anything enlightening in Event Viewer?
  21. Folks not reading mod descriptions, and thus borking their games, has been a problem since Morrowind. :) It isn't new, it just seems more prevalent today, as there are a LOT more games that allowed modification by the end user.
