@Striker 15 Dec 15 (Waaay too late to comment, but w/e grin - )The soldering wire is actually a tube with cleaning paste inside it. Additionally I use some rosin flux to periodically clean the soldering iron. I don't usually have problems when the surfaces are clean, although I don't solder that often to be experienced in this.
Use more cleaning solution on those pins, that was a bad solder joint which could crack easily.
I didn't know Mars can be so visible in the night. Was this taken with a long exposure? It feels ... bigThat's the moon, bro. Mars is the reddish dot next to it, haha!
Actually, if you look at me holding the sniper rifle, you'll notice how I moved my finger away from the trigger. Precisely, I extended the finger.If only you had done the same with the other one.
tiny 8-year-olds held an M16 in their tiny hands, so cuteMaybe it's just because I'm a big ol' leftist hippy, but this really disturbs me.
I did fire once. Don't worry, no bullets involved. It was an empty shot. We even saw a demonstration of how soldiers advance through the battlefield.I'm told empty shots can damage the firing pin due to inertia and it not encountering resistance (i.e the bullet casing in its path). Even leaving that aside, this is not how firearms are supposed to be handled. This is worrying to say the least.
Then I may be one too, because I'm with you on this.tiny 8-year-olds held an M16 in their tiny hands, so cuteMaybe it's just because I'm a big ol' leftist hippy, but this really disturbs me.
