The article, written by Alan M. Rice for The Armory Life, discusses the Springfield Armory Hellion, a bullpup rifle touted for vehicle defense due to its compact design and ease of use in confined spaces. Rice highlights the Hellion's advantages over standard AR-style rifles, noting its shorter length even with a full-length barrel, which ensures optimal ammunition performance without requiring the paperwork of a short-barreled rifle (SBR). The article emphasizes the benefits of carrying a rifle like the Hellion for personal safety, outlining its increased stopping power and longer-range accuracy compared to a pistol. Additionally, it recommends practical accessories such as a Vertx VTAC rifle scabbard for discreet transport, a Nightforce Optics scope for enhanced target identification, and Hornady Critical Defense ammunition for self-defense. The article stresses the importance of understanding local laws, having a well-thought-out safety plan, and the necessity of carrying emergency medical supplies alongside a firearm.

When you are shooting, both mind and body are engaged. Arguably, it is our sight that matters a lot. This also means our eyes are in a vulnerable position.

Yk Declan shooting up the fairy market makes a lot more sense when you remember he just had a gun in his room in TDT. And threatened the Gray Man with it. Like I think Declan lowkey wanted to shoot someone.

In his article "The Gray Ghost: My 200K-Round XD-M Elite" published by The Armory Life, Steve Tarani reflects on his extensive use of the XD-M Elite pistol, which Rob Leatham, a renowned competitive shooter, introduced to him. Affectionately nicknamed "the gray ghost" due to its worn appearance, Tarani recounts the firearm's impressive durability, having fired over 200,000 rounds. He highlights features such as the ambidextrous slide stop, META flat-face trigger system, and the transition to a red dot sight. The article shares Tarani's experiences using the XD-M Elite in various training environments, including Gunsite Academy, where it consistently performed well across diverse climates and ammunition types. Despite minimal maintenance, this Springfield Armory firearm has proven to be a reliable and valuable tool for both professional training and personal skill development.

The Magiciatron
A couple of posts came across my dash recently in quick succession about Crowley and Aziraphale’s costuming, and boy howdy did they get me Thinking™. The details of those posts are not super relevant, but they did inspire this one and were quite insightful, so I’d recommend giving them a read anyway, as well as the several other posts I have linked throughout where ideas were taken. Please do give those a read/reblog as well!
And then take a look at this post I saw:
Tumblr media
“You’re not trying to trick me, are you?”
Now kindly consider the fact that Crowley is beside Muriel’s left shoulder (like an angel) and the Metatron is on Aziraphale’s right (like a demon). And notice, like I did, that the lapels on his coat are some of the lowest we’ve seen. Which, for an angel-who-isn’t-Aziraphale, and you know, the literal fucking voice of God, is pretty fucking weird. But I digress.
Because what’s important here is that you’re reminded, like I was, how weird it is that the Metatron is wearing so much black.
Surely the most important angel we’ve ever met-- who up to this point, has only ever been depicted as a brilliantly glowing white head, and is (stage blocking-wise, literally) above inhabiting the typical corporations that other angels have, even while in heaven-- surely he would be sporting the cleanest, purest, whitest clothes imaginable, right?
But... he isn’t. He’s not wearing grey or beige like any of the other angels, or even white like Muriel’s constable uniform, he’s wearing black. That’s weird! Angels don’t wear black! Oh... well except when they’re magicians, of course:
Tumblr media
(X, X)
But even in his magician costumes, Aziraphale retains many elements of his angelic nature: the upward-pointed lapels; the white cuffs poking out of his sleeves; the floppy bow ties; the single-button or open jacket revealing the soft gold and velvet vests. This is merely a flashy costume! Don’t worry folks, he’s still the same, good old angel underneath!
The Metatron, on the other hand, does not have any of these angelic indicators. Underneath his magician’s coat-- which is big and loose, falls closed in front of him in a way that obscures his suit, and has extremely downward-pointing lapels-- he wears a dark tie, and a very normal-looking, white, pinstripe shirt. No angelic tartan to be seen, either. It’s a very understated, business-minded look compared to Aziraphale’s flashy stage getups. Also worth noting imo is that in many scenes, the Metatron has his hands in his pockets, which obscures his form even more.
Now this might be indicative of something more, some larger scheme we haven’t deduced yet, but by itself it’s a brilliant move by the costuming department, adding yet another perfectly conniving layer to the Metatron’s manipulations:
Dress him in the magician’s coat and send him on stage, where his tricks are hidden in plain sight...
Tumblr media
Engage the audience to participate in a dramatic reveal...
Tumblr media
Reassure his volunteer that his props are completely normal by offering them up for inspection...
Tumblr media
Have the assistant do all the flashy presentation for him...
Tumblr media
So that while the audience is distracted, they fail to notice...
Tumblr media
... that a swap has been made...
Tumblr media
And then the curtain falls. Show over. Audience fooled. Job well done.
Tumblr media
The End.

[Image description: A digital drawing based on the film They Shoot Horses, Don't They?. In the centre, there's a disco ball, with light blue and grey highlights and also red squares. It is not completely rendered, with the desaturated marigold yellow of the background visible behind it, albeit surrounded by a grey aura. Surrounding this ball, although mostly above it and tapering off as it goes downward, there is a mass of elements from the film. It is chiefly comprised of hands, arms, legs and feet. They are either tightly worn together - such as the hands which grasp tight to themselves or others - or they hang limply, such as the legs at the bottom of the mass which are crowded by the least amount of details. These legs hang weightlessly. There's also close-ups of faces and eyes, although the expressions have no clear logic or connection. This mass is drawn with thin, grey lines. It is indiscernable where certain elements end and the others begin. The bottom left corner of the piece is left empty of these drawings, with only a small red box that has the number "67" in it, the text in a light grey.]

Hooray for Wing It getting a series! So happy for them, and can't wait to hear them all (well not Sam, I assume, because he's busy producing it) along with improv colleagues.

seven or eight times now ive watched the episodes in which they take the andromache and this is the first time ive realized that during the initial battle, after they board, every time the camera is from dufresne's perspective it's blurrier than otherwise because. he took his glasses off for the fight
#real velma hours#i have a soft spot for s1 dufresne that i dont have for s2 & 3#part of it is that jannes bore a passing resemblance to a longtime mutual of mine so i feel like im watching someone i know#the other part is . well its like andy whitfield versus liam whatsisface when they were on spartacus#i dont know for sure bc they passed and that's the reason their characters were recast. but the actors have a different energy#from seasons one to seasons two and three. and i really wonder what jannes would have brought to dufresne's betrayal#roland reed's take is extremely bitter and self-preservationist#but from what we did get of jannes' performance i imagine his version would've been more confused and fear-based. jaded/feral#and i always think it really wouldve been something#black sails#q#everything about this battle sequence is a masterpiece. from the shot of joshua getting his false fangs ready to put in#to mr beauclerc's pile of like a dozen muskets up in the crow's nest. because it's 1715 snipers can't reload . he has to shoot#a different gun every time#to the way most pirate media glosses over the minutia of battle or even priacy in general because it's about the vibe the aesthetic#but sails' piracy is a means to an end and so its pirates are just like. guys with jobs#the minutia of their battle sequences even in their comparatively less insightful first season are INCREDIBLe. like o'brien levels of detai#and the camera work in this sequence! even on my thirteen-inch laptop screen where my show is on a nine-inch window#i am right there in it i feel like im watching it in 3d
