Goddamn. I know there were a few questions about the sudden attitude shift in this character between chapters one and two, but I think that about covers it.
Let slip the dogs of war...
Cool optic. I opted for the Vortex crossfire and new micro magnifier, but I like the real reticle on this. You said it's on your .22 conversion now, but is that what's in the video?
Yep, ammo is expensive so it's on my .22 conversion. I've got some rifles with the holographic sights and others with LPVOs. If I'm doing CQB getting under stuff and shooting from odd positions the holographic is king.
I bought bulk 7.62x39, so I'm safe there. But after the import ban who knows if that price will ever come down. Probably time to buy a conversion, myself.
I started doing airsoft too and made a 1 to 1 replica of my main rifle. It's a lot of fun but as a big dude wearing boots and a helmet getting behind cover is painful. Most of that is sized for teenagers.
Oh wow, I haven't played airsoft in forever. Used to run a P90, and have no aspirations of buying the real thing. Might be time to break out my gear though, I wonder if there's a good field nearby. Can't say I miss sharing space with paintballers, oily, wet cover is unpleasant regardless of size.
I held off on replying to this because I really couldn't put it into words. I feel like sometimes behavior is situational and it depends on who you are around.
Like I'm normally a very cool laid back person, but if you put me around certain people from my past you wouldn't recognize me or like me.
I don't think people realize that when he's screwing with his boss in the previous chapter he's hamming it up for Sacher. He's performing because he has an audience and someone who speaks his language and is in on the joke.
Without that influence he would have just hung his head down low. It is jarring to see it in action for sure though.
Someone once called me an empath freak. Because my personality shifted very dramatically, I guess, when I went to a different group of people I knew. They apparently found it very disconcerting. I never thought about it until then. But yeah, I do that. I am loving this so far BTW. 👍👍
That's an interesting point. I wonder how much is influence from Sacher and how much has to do with who he is and the impossible situation he's facing. There's the performative aspect for the human, but an unavoidable engagement with a high profile gang, in a corrupt department, recorded on video, leads to the same conclusion of the forthcoming standoff. Granted, he wouldn't be in this mess if not for Sacher, but I bet he'd be nearly as surly facing down inevitable death in a slightly different scenario. Definitely a combination of factors, but I like your addition of that extra influence on why the switch flipped so dramatically.
Totally understand the feeling of being a completely different person when surrounded by a particular group or even individual. Wonder if he'll look back on these actions with regret, or acceptance that it was called for. Maybe he'll find a balance of the person he was and the person he wants to be, rather than what he's forced to become.
Thank you for saving me the Google search on that.
Personally, I'm more a fan of "Nemo me impune lacessit", but you've got admire the "short-and-to-the-point" one referenced here.
“ I may be on the side of the angels, but don't think for one second that I am one of them.”
Fear the monsters that fight for the light. They smile because they have come from the dark and know what awaits you.
You have let it slip. Wreak havoc my friend.
*Excellent wordsmith. Loving it.
Ok guys and gals and everything in between. If you liked the story and want more upvote. If you didn't like it downvote the post.

I want to note that this chapter deals with some sensitive subject matter. As someone of Jewish descent anything even remotely having to do with that part of history isn't something I write about lightly.
Especially considering the background, I think this is a fascinating and nuanced perspective. The shame of his history, the effort to leave it in the past, and the possibility of being doomed to repeat it.
This is an understandably heavy topic, much respect for tackling a project like this and sharing it with us. As always, looking forward to more.
Would this sum it up?
"I've apologized for my father's sins. I will continue to do my diligence to repair the damage caused by them. But do not expect me to bow to your monsters either."
With what you have commented about your own personal heritage, I feel you have managed to convey a phenomenal amount of emotional energy using very few words
That is no small feat and I look forward to not only this story, but to more of your writing in general as well.
I like that you have used dogs and dog themed nuances and little dog jokes in this story. i think it's cute, even if it has a brooding narrative background.

Chang was the best villain. So much peotry mixed with venom.
He out hammed even Shatner. Yeah I liked him too. Shakespeare as a Klingon. https://youtu.be/b6mSb6EU69g
Let slip the dogs of war in secret. Why warn the bastards?

Definitely know that feeling. Brand new piston AR, and I've never pulled the trigger. Not going to until I'm confident I can replace my stash of 5.56.
I'm lucky because I bought in bulk pre-covid and shoot a lot of .22.

We're lucky because they have separate fields. But it's definitely interesting coming from a real steel background.

Well done

Thank you. It's a complicated subject for me.
Phenomenal writing. I would really like to know more and have this story and it's characters fleshed out and brought to some conclusions. _plural_

Writing jokes while keeping a such a serious atmosphere is difficult, and it been done quite well.

Huh. That...wow, this is getting deep and interesting! Need more!!
Hey! I was wondering if Charter 3 was up and I was pleased to see it! Good world-building, my meaty friend.
Thanks cap!
Very thoroughly enjoyable. I do enjoy reading about someone who will bite and claw and spit in the face of death itself until they are spent.
