It is not a myth that shooting two guns at once looks cool. It looks cool AF.
I see we’re still sharing this guide of misinformation.
You can aim at two targets. Phone tracing does not take an hour. You can shoot and disable most locks including the one pictured with most calibers that aren’t a .22. Grenade pins can be pulled with teeth depending on grenade and whether you’re applying tension to the spoon. Gunshot noise is affected by a suppressor, but bullet noise is based on speed, weight, and shape.
- You can report people before 24h have passed but the cops may still want you to wait. They do this because they’re lazy/don’t want to waste time dealing with paranoid folk.
- A gun can be completely silenced when built to do so. Generally using subsonic ammunition and not semi-auto.
Yeah, just pointing out that a suppressor doesn’t affect the bullet sound. If it’s supersonic, it will still crack.
The can just gives the explosion (gunshot) time to expand and slow down. I am intimately familiar with this concept and have a nearly silent build myself.
Edit: sidenote, if you want to shave off a few more decibels from the noise of the shot, add a small amount of material to ablate inside the suppressor. A VERY small amount of water will do in a pinch but petroleum gels are better. I personally recommend a cleaner gel like medical ultrasound gel, very clean and very effective.
To be fair they said “aiming two guns at once is hardly possible”. Means it is with enough practice? Lol. I hate this guide, full of half-truths and misinfo, not to mention completely withholding explanations.
A grenade pin is tight, but if people can open beer bottles with their teeth they definitely can pull the pin on a grenade.
Ok, I know nothing about grenades but from what I’ve seen I imagine there’s a spring mechanism and that is clamping the pin down. So wouldn’t pressing down on the clamp make pulling the pin easy/easier?
Ya, most grenades have a lever called a “spoon” that you press down that relieves some of the tension on the pin, and when you pull the pin and throw the grenade the spoon flies off and ignites the fuse.
MYTH: It looks cool to spoon two grenades at once and watch the pieces fly off in slow motion.
TRUTH: It looks very cool.
They’re probably referring to the confidence clip. We used to tape the spoon to the grenade because if the pin got caught on your jacket, you’d have a really bad day. There’s actually an extra step before you pull the pin where you sweep your thumb across the spoon to allow the pin to be pulled out. If you just grabbed a grenade and tried to rip the pin out with your teeth, without removing the confidence clip, you’d rip your teeth out.
You wouldn’t have remembered if it was 20 years ago. That clip was introduced recently, I remember where I was the first time I saw one and that would’ve been like 2015.
The phone tracing one is misleading. It might take hours for the police to get the location from the ISP (I doubt that), but the phone call doesn’t have to be hours long.
So reading through these comments and also based on what i already know, it seems like this coolguide is pretty much bullshit.
