There's a lot of variables at play here. Keep in mind that if you got two bad guys focusing on you you're going to get chewed away FAST while seemingly making no real dent on the guy you're shooting at. Also, some mechs simply don't have as much armor as others, some don't hold up as well to certain combat conditions. Especially if you're walking around in a 100t thinking you got all this armor and structure to protect you, it's easy to waltz around the wrong corner and get washed.

Lets look at your example here:

Lasers are scan weapons and UAC's are burst fire...we can only work with "if" here, but if your aim wasn't 100% and that Locust was fresh, that damage can pretty easily distribute over half the mech which can make a seemingly small impact on the paper doll. And IF this was something like a Pirate's Bane it'd be more along the lines of four small lasers and two machine guns which in close quarters can really carry a lot of weight in a fight with an assault.

Let's see some videos of how you're working.

That's interesting, several of the stores in my area recently got rid of all regular checkouts and it's 100% self checkout now.

I never intend to steal anything from walmart but it happens unintentionally with some regularity...and when I get home and realize I've stolen that 20lb bag of cat food or I have seven cucumbers instead of five I always sit and think "if only there'd been someone there to check me out we could have avoided this travesty."

Potensic Atom is $300 with their version of a "fly more" kit and does everything the Mini does except requiring a data connection or for you to have DJI's permission in order to fly.

A criminal with knowledge about nuclear vessels wessels.

He's wanting to find a drone to use professionally for under $100? The Syma is a toy, the holy stone has a poor camera. Your "family member" can maybe get away with using a Potensic Atom ($300) professionally, but $300 is literally the floor.

Astroworld was one of my favorite things growing up. They shut it down and moved it to New Orleans and it's never been the same. Especially after everything got wet.

No that's just his weapons convergence. You can do the same thing any time with your own lasers if you want to prove it.

Spending more money for an ethically made product should be acceptable.

Every time I see Julie Newmar mentioned my brain goes straight to Wesley Snipes as Noxeema Jackson.

Unfortunately the source for most of this stuff is Burt Ward. There's no one to collaborate or deny his stories.

dude fucked up by letting you in and tried to make it your fault.

I can accept that we're not all equal but if you want special treatment you should be publicly designated and deserving special treatment. Unmarked cars do not deserve special treatment.

Saying you're buying a product from China because no one else makes it is different than saying you're buying a product from China because it's manufactured by cheap labor.

That's an interesting sentiment concerning a bill that has a lot of support on both sides of the aisle...

I understand your sentiment but there's something a little off in saying you'd only be interested in another drone if it could be made by 10 year olds in forced labor factories. Drones from other nations would be worth spending more money on, if you're buying from China it should be because that's where you can get the product and not because it's the cheapest way to get it.

every Chinese company

thing is...just about every other chinese drone allows you to operate 100% free of any kind of data connection. My Zino 2 and my Potensic Atom both fly using phones that were only online long enough to download the app. You can't do that with DJI.

I use to ride in sandals all the time. The strap works just fine. A 3" long grasshopper at 80mph will break your pinky toe, but the strap will let you shift without issue.

My understanding is that airspace in the UK is treated much like it in in the US...shooting a drone down is akin to shooting down an aircraft.

That said, though, people shoot down drones in the US all the time and the FAA and cops won't do shit unless it's one of their drones.

Personally, I wouldn't risk flying in the area unless I didn't care about the drone and didn't mind starting a legal fight. Probably not worth it.

take it up with the article bud

I just damaged my bike and my body. May as well ruin my helmet, too.

Late to the show here but given a standard air superiority armament and very high accuracy of the pilot he could account for approximately 20 aircraft between missiles and cannon fire. If we totally max out the AIM120 count it can carry 12 missiles between four wing hardpoints and four center bay hardpoints. It can also carry two AIM9's in the side bays. This is maximum missile count and I honestly don't know if targeting can accommodate that many AMRAAM's. Assuming all 14 missiles are killers and 50 rounds of cannon fire per aircraft and we've got 20-kill capacity.

The Japanese fighters were mostly made of wood and paper, though, so could theoretically take out a bunch more by winging them but might be hard to count on that lol
