Which Will You Choose?

Romania's PM md.63 AKM (WASR 10/63)

America's M-16A2 (AR-15A2 HBAR)

Debating between the AR and AK platform is pointless. Just get both and be happy.

The Worst Service Rifle Upgrade; The M16A2

[celticcanon]

I used the fuck out of it when I was shooting the old A2s with the shitty aluminum mags of questionable spring strength. Once we switched to A4s and PMAGs, the only time I ever used the forward assist was when shooting blanks.

AIM-1/DLR or PAQ-4C?

I personally do like the light and streamlined setup of the PAQ But the AIM-1/DLR is more solidly mounted and more interesting to look at.

RFQ (Request for Quote) for Fanfic Illustration Project

Update: I have found an artist! Thanks to all who applied.

Hello! I am a fanfic author looking to commission 6 illustrations to appear in an upcoming fanfiction. My tentative/negotiable budget for this is $1650 USD or $275/illustration. I wish them to be done by 24th September. I am looking for illustrations that are fully shaded, and in color, suitable for appearing inline both online (via AO3) and in print in B&W. I am an amateur fannish creator, and this is the first time I've ever done something like this, and have no contacts to which to rely upon. As a result, I'm also offering a $50 finders fee for any good-faith tip, recommendation, or referral that ultimately leads to a successful agreement.

About the project:

Nature of Work/Quality Requested: Each illustration will involve two canon Stargate SG-1 characters that require, shading, detailing, and coloring. Each illustration also requires a background that effectively communicates the scene geography (ie, where the characters are in relation to eachother and their immediate surroundings). However, generally, the backgrounds do not require complicated shading and detailing as long as they get across the general idea - with the exception of a landscape background for one of the six illustrations. The backgrounds are: medical lab, briefing room, daylight forest, hillside overlooking river, underground cave.

Fandom: This project deals with the Stargate SG-1 fandom, and the characters of Janet Fraiser, Jonas Quinn, Samantha Carter, and the Goa'uld Nirrti. Someone familiar with this fandom would be preferred, but if you are not, substantial high quality references will be provided.

Controversial/Squicky Elements: These requested illustrations do not involve any kind of erotica or ongoing/imminent violence/gore and are SFW. However, of note, a few of the desired illustrations require an accurate reproduction of automatic firearms typical of Stargate SG-1 (specifically, the M16A2 and the MP5, references will be provided), and one of the desired illustrations involves an injured and bloodied person.

Revisions/Alterations requested? Due to the expedited nature of the project (just under two months to finish), I don't expect there to be time for any significant alterations. All I would request is a sketch copy of each illustration before major detail/shading/color work is undertaken, so I can verify the scene geography and major components are correct. If there is time, I may pay extra for alterations should I want them.

How you will be credited:

In-story, online: Your name and a hyperlink to your website/social/portfolio (as desired) will be attributed in the author's notes of the chapters in which your illustrations appear. Your name will also appear at at beginning/foreward, credited as "Illustrator"

In-story, in print: Your name and printed URLs/@s will appear in the beginning or the end of the story, at your choice, credited as "Illustrator"

In other situations, online, e.g. social media posts: A named link to your webside/social/portfoilio (As desired)

Nature of product+license I am intending to purchase:

In general, high quality sources I can freely distribute, and which other can freely redistribute (so long as you remain attributed, and the following terms are attached). Specifically, I am looking for:

Source quality without visible watermark

Time-limited right of first publish: You will withhold publishing copies of the commissioned works on your own socials/website until the final fanfic is posted, or the date February 1st, 2025, whichever is earlier.

A non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual and irrevocable license with the following terms:

In general, unlimited noncommercial reproduction with attribution.

Limited derivative works, including, color re-grading, cropping, addition of titles or text bubbles, extraction of individual elements without modification (e.g. characters), for the purposes of creating covers, memes, compositions, promotional material, and general shitposting.

Sublicensible without penalty under identical terms, for the purposes of allowing others to distribute the story with the illustrations intact, so long as attribution is preserved, a copy of these terms provided, and no cash or other cash-equivalents exchanged.

How you will be paid:

I am willing to pay via Pay Pal (G&S), Bank wire, CC payment to online shop, Bitcoin/Monero or any crypto listed on Bitstamp supported by Ledger. I am willing to sign up for any online service that does not have onerous verification requirements, as long as such service does not require the use of a proprietary app that can only be installed on a smartphone.

Payments will be in installments as progress is made, or via escrow at the artist's request.

Price negotiable?

Yes. The listed budget is what I believe this project is worth based upon my very limited knowledge and experience, and the money I have available to pay. As the title suggests, please send in your own quote as you feel is fair compensation for your labor. However, cards on the table, price will be a significant factor when discriminating between bids and I may reduce the scope of the project rather than incurring cost overruns.

Is the deadline soft or hard?

Hard. I need the illustrations by the given date for printing in order to give a copy to someone I know (it's a surprise).

How can I contact you?

Please direct all inquiries to bythemorningstar@protonmail.com. If you wish to make a bid, please include the following information.

Croup Manor / 20 July 2289

Responded to a call about some ferals in Nahant wandering into secure area; arrived to a force of Rust Devils massing for an attack in the police department. After dispatching them, fought alongside security forces until just before dawn, repelling the attackers with three friendlies KIA. Looking to reevaluate the firing plan here.

Clockwise from top left: a recent transfer stands watch on the main access road; a provisioner inspects his pack Brahmin before beginning his rounds; two reformed gunners, the left armed with an M16A2, glare at me; Declan, the resident machine gunner and NCO, poses with his M249 SAW by a dead Rust Devil (not pictured); SMT-0 waiting to board a Militia Vertibird, designate "Surfin' Bird."

Range day! From left to right, my Gen 2 Kriss Vector in 45acp with my Silencerco Octane 45k on the end, my HK USC SBR in 45acp, my M95 Steyr Mannlicher in 8x50r, my M16A2 clone with a binary trigger, and my 12.5” AR15 SBR with my AAC 556SD on the end. And last but not least, my Enfield Webley MK VI in 455 Webley.

The most fun gun of the day was my Kris’s Vector with the Octane on the end. Quiet and accurate! A close second was my M16A2 clone with the binary trigger, it acts a lot like the burst mode on a real M16A2.

The surprise of the day was the Webley Mk VI. I found some ammo for it and it shot really well and accurately. The ammo was quite expensive but I am glad I finally got to shoot it.

The disappointment of the day was the Steyr M95. Unfortunately the barrel is shot out, every shot keyholed. It’s a wall hanger.
