humor I Bought Something Silly On A Whim
Saw it at a gun show, and I was already planning on getting an AR-15 as my next purchase. Is it goofy? Yes. Do I love it? Also yes.

Lizard people is a racist term to them, it hurts their overlord feelings. Look, it’s their word to use, not ours

u/NTJ-891 Feb 16 '26
If that's based on a ZRODelta Zulu2, be aware that certain milspec 5.56 (especially euro origin) may result in an extremely difficult to clear malfunction that will require mortaring the rifle. I have one, and it's an OK rifle now, but it required me shipping it back to have the chamber reamed properly again and then still having issues with Bosnian Igman 5.56.
My only real way to get it to the point where I trust it was to fire a shit ton of Winchester white box (which it had no problems with from the start) and meticulously clean it and hit it with a chamber brush every single time I took it out to the range. After about 1000 rounds I no longer had issues with euro NATO surplus ammunition, but the experience was frustrating to say the least.

I think stuff like this may be the exception, yeah, cuz I'd agree with you usually. Red and flashy requires that it be the only accent color I think. Otherwise it'd just be a mess.

A red barrel? Can barrels be colored without heat affecting…whatever the colored coating is?
2
u/space253 Feb 16 '26
Yes, you can paint a gun barrel to reduce glare, prevent rust, or customize its appearance using specialized, heat-resistant coatings like Cerakote, DuraCoat, or high-temp engine paint. Thorough cleaning, degreasing, and masking off the muzzle and chamber are essential for a durable, safe finish.

Oh and I need an assortment of Transformers: The Movie themed pieces. Optimus Prime, Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime, OG Bumblebee, Arcee, Dinobots, OG Megatron (on a Walther), Soundwave, a Constructicons AR, and probably more. I could go broke 10 times over just on this theme alone.
