Also, general question, what does the salary for Correctors look like? Middle-Class living? Upper-middle class? Downtown studio apartment for one? Loft?


I would say upper-middle to upper class. Their earnings would allow them to live comfortably without a second job (I often figure Correctors would work a second one to make it look like they're working as a cover or at least tell their loved ones it's a different job than what it is).
1x Thank Thank

Hopefully we can keep this rolling this week.

Hey Vie, you think you might be up for a Yokai Watch 1x1 based on the group I established a while back? It might be easier on us.

I'll probably be able to get something up tonight or tomorrow as well. But I might be biting off more than I can chew with another roleplay, 1x1 or not. Exam is rolling up on us in the next week

The one class I am worried about is a cumulative. It sucks because it's one of those super old fashioned classes with literally 2 grades, the midterm paper and the final.

@Themerlinhawk sorry I'm being a nit picky gun nut, but I didn't really understand:

"he fitted a compensator to the end of it(the pitol) which would prevent the gun from coming out of battery if he pressed the muzzle against another entity"

Maybe I'm reading the phrase wrong, but I do know that what a compensator does is help compensate for kick of a firearm- sorry, I was just reading over the posts again and that sentence stuck out to me.

@vietmyke some do yes. if you're an idiot (not you specifically I'm using this to describe people who don't understand firearms and use this trick poorly) you will put a compensator on your firearm which discharges the gas out the top which is what they traditionally do and it will end up right in your face blinding and burning you.

Now.

Some compensators Disperse the gas evenly but don't necessarily act like a suppressor they just make firing the gun more stable in general as opposed to reducing specifically the upward kick of the front ofor the gun (so compensatory are traditionally square close fitted extensions of a guns barrel, suppressors are traditionally a bit longer and spiral the gas along the length hence the reduced noise).

Compensators and suppressors also have another side effect. If you press them against a person they in turn press specifically on the barrel of a semi automatic pistol. Why is this important? Well turns out if you're in the middle of a close quarters fight with someone and you shove the end of a semiautomatic against someone there is a good chance it will push the slide on the gun back enough to take the pistol out of battery making it impossible to fire pressed against someone like that. A Compensator or suppressor prevents that issue.

I was actually just working with a guy like two weeks ago, he has this striker fire conceal carry and we were practicing defending knife attacks, drawing and shooting out the hip girdle because I'm not law enforcement and he isn't either so if you kill someone then you're basically going to jail if you live in California XD but sure as shit he presses his gun right into my hip and then nothing. It's the funniest and scariest feeling ever because all of the sudden. Your gun doesn't work and you have an: oh shit... moment

Oh, I get what you mean now. I've yet to hear the term 'battery' in my time of handling firearms, but I understand what you mean now.

No worries I have a rather technical vocabulary sometimes and it's important to keep me in check like you did
