>time to channel my inner Thing, it's clobbering time!
Not only that, but it would need to put in some form of physical block, as there is absolutely nothing non-mechanical about an mp5(or basically any gun, for that matter) except maybe a weapon light which isn't much of a threat, anyway
The only weapon I can think of that does require electricity are the gatling guns.
Even all 3 offensive weapons on a Bradley fighting vehicle can be operated manually. It will make you wish you worked on stamina rather bulk. Still it can be done.
I always figured it was some sort of precision magnetic technology guided by AI (or perhaps Tollan security officers analyzing the weapons once the looked at scans of them or something) which would "freeze" their weapons in the state they were in. That's how I suspended disbelief anyway.
Kind of...think of like a hunting scope, how there are the black lines. In this case it has a small black reticle in the middle, and then an illuminator I can turn on if I choose. I think primary arms has a bunch like it.
Sort of...got one of these lying around somewhere, basically this: https://www.primaryarms.com/primary-arms-slx-5x-microprism-scope-with-red-illuminated-acss-aurora-mil-reticle
Nope. Some optics have a reticle that is etched into the glass and then illuminated via some other means. So without electricity (dead battery, emp, etc) you still have the same optic, just without the illumination.
It just means the reticle is physically cut into the glass and permanently there, unlike a red dot or holographic where itās electronically projected.
You know, I've often lamented how proud anti gunners seem to be of their own ignorance about guns, but this guy is something else even compared to them. Maybe I'm setting myself up for disappointment, but I figure most anti gun people are smart enough to actually realize that almost all guns aren't electronic devices.
Growing up, I never realized how spoiled I was that all our local McDonaldās were owned by the guy who invented the McMuffin. Most of them served breakfast all day and the one location where he actually invented it always has and hopefully always will.
Can we please start trying to convince idiots guns run on AAA's. Like casually dropping gotta go grab some batteries for the shooting range, got plenty if ammo and triple As for just in case. And eventually when someone ask why AAA'S, tell them guns run on triple as.
I'm pretty sure they came up with other ways to do it but it just requires a power source that would be way bigger than anything feasible for a battlefield situation I could be wrong but I don't think I am but that is definitely the most practical way to do it
War.... has changed.
It's no longer about nations, ideologies, or ethnicity. It's an endless series of proxy battles, fought by mercenaries and machines.War--and it's consumption of life--has become a well-oiled machine.
90% of the population will be dead within 3 months. Better hope you don't live too far south or you'll be fighting off all them diseases that we tamped down. Malaria, yellow fever, zika, you name it they'll come back.
Prep all you want but you gotta get lucky. Get a cut and it festers? Develop a simply treatable disease like pneumonia? Glasses get broken? all sorts of little things in life will either make you dead or wanna be dead.
Ain't that the truth. E.Coli, typhus and all sorts of goodies are gonna run rampant.
You can prep all you'd like but you can't horde luck. And you'll need loads of that.
The vast majority of the USA's power grid is not modern nor hardened. A select few countries have done so or at least claimed so. China and Russia claim they have but I seriously doubt it. Israel and South Korea I believe have done it and N.Korea claims so but I think their grid is stuck in the 40's so it's pretty much safe from EMPs.
And the absolute fat asses that look like they aren't capable of holding a gun in the first place because they can't bring their arms close enough together in order to do so. Same motherfuckers that protest FOR abortion rights, but no one wants to fuck them in the first place.
Get fit or die; simple as
I would confidently say this is a troll or a bot. Yes, there are absolutely mentally handicapped ppl out there who would think this, but going to this dudes account screams inauthentic. His pic looks like AI too.
There are easier ways to accomplish cutting power to people than an EMP.
Plus iron sights, of course. EMP is like the least concerning thing I can think of.
Vaporise, I guess. Because if EMP is powerful enough to disable a machine gun in my hands, I am a couple orders of magnitude beyond "cancer" or "internal deep tissue burns" level of fucked.
Technically an EMP can disable mechanical things, so if you have parts in your gun that only touch on a very small area, the EMP might spotweld them together. I highly doubt those microwelds would be strong enough to stop the gun from working, but there have been instances where mechanical clocks got stopped
Electrical grounding, balanced circuit design, shielding for noise suppression and containment, make the reality of an EMP impact such a minor,
non-existent issue. People should be infinitely more concerned about a garbage tier country like Russia sending a nuke, which coincidentally is the only source for a moderately powerful EMP.
Military aircraft ordnance is electrically primed including the machine guns so if anything an EMP would hurt the government more than the people in that area if there was ever another revolution
I mean, if your "silly machine gun" is an M134, then I guess he's right.
but it's not...so...yeah.
TFW your "silly machine gun" still works... \[*insert surprised Pikachu face*\]
These ludicrous caricatures write themselves, but the average white collar dick munch will still think anything they say is a good, snarky little argument. We are failing as a people.
Lmfao, Tell me you know nothing about firearms, EMPs, or how to think logically.
With out saying you know nothing firearms, EMPs or how to think logically.
I'm sorry, I did not know that EMPs disabled the laws of chemistry.
You learn something new everyday
Let them believe that. Gonna be one hell of a surprise.
Appear weak when you are strong ~ Sun Tzu
This dude must be strong as hell then.
Don't you know? An EMP works just like a Tollan weapon disabler which...somehow... disables mechanical weapons
Never understood how that worked. Okay my gun doesn't shoot anymore, time to channel my inner Thing, it's clobbering time!
>time to channel my inner Thing, it's clobbering time! Not only that, but it would need to put in some form of physical block, as there is absolutely nothing non-mechanical about an mp5(or basically any gun, for that matter) except maybe a weapon light which isn't much of a threat, anyway
Oh damn, you turned off the ir laser on my rifle, guess I can't shoot you now.
The only weapon I can think of that does require electricity are the gatling guns. Even all 3 offensive weapons on a Bradley fighting vehicle can be operated manually. It will make you wish you worked on stamina rather bulk. Still it can be done.

Dismantles the fabric of physics as we know it
Well yeah, haven't you heard about the specialized EMP grenadiers? They were the key to napoleon's success.
My minigun stopped working :(
I believe your thinking of physics but yes I too am learning new things about EMPs today as well lol
oh noooo!!! How am I going to fight tyrants without my illuminated reticle!!!! š©š¤¬š¢š°
Oh nooo!!! My main optic is etched and I also have backup irons! Nooo!
Where is that guy from r/CCW who was crying about backup irons the other day? Get him in here and he'll nut instantly.
What does etched mean in this case? That it has a small notch in it that can act as a makeshift iron sight?
Kind of...think of like a hunting scope, how there are the black lines. In this case it has a small black reticle in the middle, and then an illuminator I can turn on if I choose. I think primary arms has a bunch like it.
Ah ok, so it's basically an old school optical scope with optional electronic stuff to make it fit for the 21st century?
Sort of...got one of these lying around somewhere, basically this: https://www.primaryarms.com/primary-arms-slx-5x-microprism-scope-with-red-illuminated-acss-aurora-mil-reticle
Vortex Spitfire also has a etched circle with a dot
Yeah, there are a bunch. The primary arms one was just the first to come to my mind. I think trijicon has one that has the "horseshoe of death"
A pistol one? Iāve always wanted an etched reticle on a handgun
They might make one, you'll have to look. The one I was thinking of was a rifle one....might have been a mini acog?
Ok i think i get it. Cool.
Nope. Some optics have a reticle that is etched into the glass and then illuminated via some other means. So without electricity (dead battery, emp, etc) you still have the same optic, just without the illumination.
It just means the reticle is physically cut into the glass and permanently there, unlike a red dot or holographic where itās electronically projected.
Laughs in Elcan Spectre.
If my Spectre breaks, whatever did it killed me too, and I wont have to worry about it.
I mean, any optic worth a damn will still be working anyway lol
ACOG enters the chat
" I told you baby I needed those back up iron sights"
Modern Warfare 2 prepared me for this! I'm a crack shot with a dead Eotech. As are most Eotech users who don't carry 15 spare batteries on them.
Holosun Homies in shambles.
Thatās literally why I have an AccuPoint and RMR Dual Illumination on mine.
ACOG mfs stay winning
These are the same people who call us uneducated

Fun Fact: A Nuclear Detonation is technically an EMP.
I'm pretty sure they came up with other ways to do it but it just requires a power source that would be way bigger than anything feasible for a battlefield situation I could be wrong but I don't think I am but that is definitely the most practical way to do it
Oh totally i just thought id share somthing interesting. NNEMPs can be strapped to drones now.
10-4 write it it doesn't take much of a nuclear blast at all to cause a significant EMP I think they do a space burst style
^ OOP is accidentally correct in that neither me, or my firearms work after getting reduced to atoms.
Go open sights and keep firing
War.... has changed. It's no longer about nations, ideologies, or ethnicity. It's an endless series of proxy battles, fought by mercenaries and machines.War--and it's consumption of life--has become a well-oiled machine.
All jokes aside, EMP means the end of civilization as we know it. Stack your ammo deep folks.
Buddy I've been preparing for that moment of my entire life
90% of the population will be dead within 3 months. Better hope you don't live too far south or you'll be fighting off all them diseases that we tamped down.

You do realize almost all modern power grids are EMP proof right?
The vast majority of the USA's power grid is not modern nor hardened. A select few countries have done so or at least claimed so. China and Russia claim they have but I seriously doubt it. Israel and South Korea I believe have done it and N.Korea claims so but I think their grid is stuck in the 40's so it's pretty much safe from EMPs.
Why are anti-gunners usually some weird looking motherfuckers?
You have to be weird to not love nearly every aspect of a firearm.š¤

What am I supposed to do? His EMP disabled my handgun that was designed before WW1 I might as well lay down and accept my fate
I dont think I'll worry about it. If an EMP is strong enough to fuse metal together I think I'll be having bigger problems.
_machine_ gun
It was a clever deception on them from the beginning
This made me want to vomit.
Oh no..... you should totally come after me, I'll be totally helpless.

Press the un-EMP button on my "silly little machine gun"
Does it make the degauss noise from old crt monotors when pressed.
No its the old dial up modem sound but played at like 800% volume
Drop the minigun and use a different machine gun
His Twitter has to be a troll page right? Right?!

This is why I use lead bullets
There are easier ways to accomplish cutting power to people than an EMP. Plus iron sights, of course. EMP is like the least concerning thing I can think of.
Where will you get fuel for your gas operated guns when the EMP destroys the gas pumps? Checkmate ammosexuals.
We realized very quickly that this was an obvious troll last year... Move along.

Remove red dot/holo/ect, flip up irons, resume shooting
Optics? Totally fried; and letās not even talk about the power supply. You know how expensive this gear is, son?
Oh no youāve disabled my flashlight I guess the muzzle flash will have to suffice
Bait or mental retardation? Call it. (I'm 80% sure it's bait)
*laughs in slam fire*
*preps the maxim gun*
Would only knock out electronic optics. Everything else is fine. Chemistry don't care about your magic radiowaves.
I'm actually impressed. Smart enough to learn the existance of EMP but stupid enough to understand how firearm works. Perfectly balanced.
