The Browning BLR is one of the lightweight modern lever action rifles that are made to last many years and through the harshest weather. It performed well, and I didn’t come back home empty-handed. I didn’t have any big issues with the rifle when testing it. Although some people will see it as a big disadvantage, I would say that the quality and precision you get are worth the price. Its accurate and fast shorts explain the high price I had to pay. Its light weight was a big advantage when my backpack was full of various things. On my first day of hunting with it, it was easy to continuously aim and track game. You may, however, have to raid the kid’s college fund to pick one up. The BLR makes a great all-purpose hunting rifle, brush rifle, range rifle, or truck rifle. And with its 20-inch barrel, it offers better than average accuracy for a lever action firearm. From the rosewood pistol grip, AAA maple stock, and satin, nickel finish receiver, the gun is a sight to behold. Here’s why:īrowning holds nothing back with the beautifully crafted BLR. The third best lever action rifle is the Browning BLR. The only possible inconvenience to look out for is its weight, as 8.3 pounds are quite a lot for a gun. Its high quality is unbeatable, and it has everything for a successful hunting night.Īs my second-best lever-action hunting rifle, I highly recommend it. It has a great history and still lives up to the expectations of most hunters. Overall, the Henry rifle is a reliable and accurate gun. – Quite heavy to carry all day long Final Verdict However, after some time, my arms got tired from trying to aim precisely with this 8.3 lbs firearm. During the first few hours of testing, it didn’t seem to be an issue. There is one disadvantage that prevented me from rating Henry Repeating Arms higher – its weight. Unlike my favorite Winchester 94, it took me less than 10 minutes to clean. Another particular advantage was the ease of cleaning it. The Henry 30-30 is a very handsome (relatively) lightweight deer rifle with a 5-round magazine, a walnut stock, and a brass receiver.Īt 100 yards, I didn’t have any problems aiming and accurately targeting the game. Less than 20 years later, the Henry 30-30 was introduced and has been a mainstay of the North American hunting scene ever since. It was not only widely used by both the Union and Confederacy during the Civil War, but many found their way into the hands of the Sioux and Cheyenne after the war and came back to haunt General Custer at the Battle of Little Bighorn in 1876. The Henry Repeating Rifle is another one that is deeply ingrained in the American mythos. The Henry Repeating Arms is a highly reliable rifle that deserved second place on my list. The Japanese manufacturer doesn’t seem to cut corners and delivers a quality product that matches the expectations of the most demanding hunter. The lever gun is as good now as it was decades ago. The lever gun has served me right after countless tests, so I am more than confident you will enjoy shooting with it, too. The iconic Winchester rifle features a sturdy built, 7-round magazine, and a 20-inch barrel. It tips the scale at a meager 6.75 pounds and is pre-drilled for scope mounts. It also features a 7-round tubular magazine, and a 20-inch barrel. As you hold this beast of a gun in your hands and turn it around, you will notice classic lines, a straight grip, and a walnut stock. So, whether you have a rifle stored in your closet or plan on buying a new one – rest assured that it is built to last.įor me, the Winchester Model 94 is a classic lever gun, and this is one of the reasons why I am in favor of it so much. of Japan, producing 1894s that are as good or better than any produced in an earlier era. Instead, production is in the more than capable hands of the Miroku Co. The rifle is no longer manufactured in the company’s historic New Haven factory. To date, that sales total is up to 7.5 million. The lever gun was the first rifle to sell more than a million units. The Winchester 1894 ticks all of my expectations and deserves to be my best pick among the other lever guns. If you are looking for a lever rifle to make accurate shots in any weather condition, Winchester 94 will never let you down. It’s lightweight, reliable, and has a great history. The best lever action rifle is undoubtedly the Winchester Model 94. My Top Pick of the Best Lever Action Rifle 2022 – Winchester Model 1894 Highly encourage you to keep scrolling to find a lever gun that ticks all of your requirements.

[The camera cut to the menu that said, "Galley Grub":Ĭlay: Uhh.oh, I'll have a.no. This has worked for me with Windows– I haven't tested in on OSX yet. On Windows, the final thing worth considering if none of this is working is zadig libusbK conversion of existing drivers. Now If you plug it in to your computer from the USB_USER port, it should appear as a DFU device on your system and be accessible under the USB tab within CubeProgrammer. It's also possible to get Windows DFU drivers from STM directly. We need to make sure we have the proper DFU drivers installed on OSX, brew install dfu-util should do it on Windows, the DFU drivers should be installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\STMicroelectronics\STM32Cube\STM32CubeProgrammer\Drivers\DFU_Driver, where you can click on STM32Bootloader.bat. We have to set up the jumpers on board to enable DFU mode by moving JP1 to USB_MCU and connecting pins 5 and 7 on CN7 ( as shown here). If the above is giving you any trouble, we can also program the board in DFU mode. Make sure it's in Normal/Software Reset mode– you may need to hold down the Reset button on the board, hit Connect in the software, and immediately release the Reset button to get it to work. Given the same setup in STM32CubeProgrammer as above, you should be able to connect to the board simply by clicking the big green 'Connect' button. On the Nucleo board, you should be able to flash the firmware using the ST-Link. We can see from this table that for the Nucleo, which is designed around the STM32WB55RG, the FUS firmware belongs at location 0x080EC000 and the stm32wb5x_BLE_Stack_full_fw should be flashed to 0x080CB000. You'll also find Release Notes.html in that folder, which gives us the memory addresses we need to use for each binary in a table towards the bottom called Firmware Upgrade Services Binary Table for our first step and Wireless Coprocessor Binary Table for our second step. STM32CubeWB/Projects/STM32WB_Copro_Wireless_Binaries/STM32WB5x Within it we find the binaries for the wireless co-process in: This is a two step process– we need to upgrade the underlying firmware on the coprocessor first and then flash the wireless stack we want to use (BLE in this case).įirst, we should download the firmware pack from github. Flashing the Wireless Co-processor Firmware You'll have to click 'Open in Update Mode' and the 'Upgrade' to actually update the programmer. Upgrade your ST-Link using the blue 'Firmware Upgrade' button on the bottom right, which pops up this dialog box. Let's click Firmware Upgrade (again on the right) to update the included programmer on the Nucleo Board. If we open the STM32 CubeProgrammer, we should see a Serial number if we refresh the right sidebar with 'ST-LINK' selected at the very top. When you connect the STM32, you should see some flashing LEDs and a new device should appear in your Finder/File Explorer window. The programmer chip firmware should be updated first. Of course, the Nucleo board has 2 STM32s on it– the main WB chip we'll be talking about the rest of the time, and a secondary STM32 chip that serves as an ST-LINK device for programming the WB. The easiest first step is to connect your USB to the STM32 Nucleo board ST_LINK port (closer to the side/header). It also works over the ST-Link, SWD, and DFU interfaces, so it's a great one-stop-shop for interfacing with the STM32. The Cube Programmer interface is a new tool, and it's actually incredibly useful for checking/setting fuses, downloading firmware and programs, and reading/writing memory. click on this if clicking on the Application File doesn't work. You'll also need the ST-Link driver, installed with homebrew: brew install stlink. You also may actually have to show the Package Contents and click on the setup executable manually. This can be installed with brew on Mac OSX: #if you don't have brew, get it with this command To set up CubeProgrammer, you may have to download the Java JDK (one with JavaFX, aka version 8– if you've installed a more recent one you can simply delete the folder from /Library/Java/JavaVirtualmachines). Step 1 is to download STM32CubeIDE and STM32CubeProgrammer – I had previously had a lot of issues running this natively on Mac, but it seems like version 1.3.0 works great natively (Windows support has always been good). This section falls into four parts: (1) set up the toolchain so you can talk to to the nucleo board, (2) flash the Bluetooth firmware, (3) ensure we can run a BLE pre-compiled example, and (4) import an STM32 example into CubeMX and run a BLE example. STM32WBCubeIDE and STM32CubeProgrammer are the required/useful software from STM's website. Let's jump right in! Running an Example on the STM32WB Nucleo Board To build the app, I'm using React-Native, the javascript based development environment that can cross-compile. My goal is to get an example running with FreeRTOS and threads that manages a general BLE throughput to an app in the background.

I got Mishap because I was searching for something like TwistedLands. However, if you love these Cyan games, the iPad versions are true to the originals…right down to the barely audible TV-staticky book page monologues that remind me of having the flu. And I succumbed to pressure when I purchased the “GOTTA HAVE It” sequel to Myst called Riven and had to endure all–what was it–8 or 9 CD’s of the game. I know that Myst was brilliant and huge back in the day. I could not find a help button…so yes…I Googled my way through some of the malarkey. Holy leaps in logic on this one will leave you scratching your head(s). I’d say, however, the base storyline and British humor belies the advanced difficulty level. If you don’t mind employing a used rubber to fish out a paper clip from a dirty toilet for the purposes of picking a lock, this is the game for you. Hector is a adolescent-boy-humor, sex, drugs, guns, ejaculate and boogers sort of adventure storyline. Maybe this shows my age (although I did make a Zork comment earlier) but I can’t help be somewhat reminded of Leisure Suit Larry by this game. I’ve talked to others as well who have really appreciated the artistry and thoughtful balance of this game. I really, really liked playing this game. I’m also a sucker for good sound effects, which this game delivers. The puzzles can be challenging but–not so irritating that you drop the game and attack the New York Times crossword with a pen. The illustration style in this is beautiful (except for the creepy people illustrations at the very opening of the game). You travel through different parts of an island looking for your lost girlfriend (who was stolen from you). For me TwistedLands strikes the perfect balance between adventure game and puzzle book. I wrote about this game in my 10 iPad Apps for 2010 article. Does this mean the game is geared for women? Am I a closet transvestite because I play it? Nonsense Rupaul-a-potamus–on both accounts. This feels like you’ve been dropped into a hi-production type of cartoon. But the interaction with rooms, people and objects is a lot of fun. The controls on this game are a little tricky. I think it’s really tuned to the romantic hearts that love the idea of being a reporter in Paris tracking down a murder. Here are some of the Adventure games I’ve found and tried: Yes Virginia, the iPad is the perfect platform for adventure games. Today I’m finding my lost loves slowly creeping back into the Googlesphere. Thankfully, it seems, the iPad is changing all that. Now we “maturing” Zork players ARE 40!! (cough cough 41) and we’re BORED to death with point and shoot and looking for something more challenging than Tetris knock offs or the infinite loops of Mahjong-like games such as Around the World in 80 Days. The real market for computer games was not Adventure, it was in shoot-em-up, immediate gratification slaughter fests. However what Myst (which targeted a more mature audience) taught game makers was that market for adventure games was not deep enough (even though Myst sold millions of copies it’s said that it marked the end of the genre). Personally I was more of a Zork guy.) Dragon’s Lair (you remember this in the arcade?) just takes quarters and copious amounts of trial and error (though it too is a vailable on the iPhone/iPad though it’s missing something without the joystick). Myst takes hours of complex problem solving and serious brain cells to solve. Silly me, I thought it was Dragon’s Lair.Īctually there is a huge difference between Myst and Dragon’s Lair. I once read that Myst marked the death of adventure games. It seems that adventure games are making a comeback due to the iPad. However, there are certain inherent dangers to omniscient POV. Third person omniscient gives the writer the most flexibility, and, when used well, it can enable a story to capture both depth and breadth. This happens in the short story “The Most Dangerous Game,” by Richard Connell, where the POV shifts from Rainsford to Zaroff near the end of the story. Other times, a story might be told by a narrator that confines his observations to only one character at a time. Some narrators may reveal the thoughts of all the characters but one, which raises the mystery and significance of the “unknown” character. However, this doesn’t necessarily need to be the case. In this example, the writer is fairly liberal with her knowledge of all the characters. Gretel dropped breadcrumbs behind her as she went, knowing that her bumbling brother couldn’t be counted on to find his way home from the outhouse, let alone from the middle of the woods.Īhead of them, an old witch waited, her stomach rumbling at the thought of what a delicious dinner the two plump children would make.” “Hansel walked ahead of Gretel after all, he knew he belonged in the front because Gretel was just a girl. Italics are used to show the places the narrator conveys knowledge of a character’s thoughts or feelings: Here’s an example of a scene from the classic story Hansel and Gretel told in third person omniscient POV. Unlike third person limited or first person, the writer isn’t tied to what a single character sees or experiences. THIRD PERSON OMNISCIENT may appear to a writer as the simplest means of telling a story, because the reader can know the thoughts of all the characters and therefore the writer can take the reader to any scene in the story and reveal as much – or as little – of the story as needed. There are four basic choices when it comes to POV: The point of view (POV) from which a story is told answers more than the simple question, “Who tells the story?” It determines “How much is the narrator allowed to know?” and “To what extent can the narrator perceive the characters’ thoughts and emotions and share them with the reader?” Six miles away a group of fishermen watched the horizon, looking for signs of the storm they could feel in the air.There are few decisions a writer can make that will have a stronger influence on their story than the choice of point of view. The main personal pronouns used are she, he and they. The story is being told by a voice who shows they know more than the characters in the story – the narrator is all knowing. He turned to take the rudder, pushing away the thoughts that crawled like ants into his mind. The story is being told by the voice of someone who is not a character in the story. You turn and take the rudder, pushing away the thoughts that crawl like ants into your mind. The personal pronouns you and your are used throughout. I turned to take the rudder, pushing away the thoughts that crawled like ants into my mind. Some of the main personal pronouns used are I, my, me, we. The writer chooses a narrative voice carefully, as it can have an important effect on the story and the reader’s response.Ī character within the story is telling the story.

Block, with huge piece counts, elaborate builds, and eye-bulging price tags. You can divide Nintendo’s Lego output so far into two distinct sections. Hey, shouldn't the Death Egg Robot be in space? | Image credit: LEGO Where Mario goes, Sonic surely follows - but what’s exciting is just how different Sonic’s Lego offering is. This has happened more frequently of late most prominently at first with Minecraft, but then with a Nintendo deal that led to the creation of Lego Super Mario. But perhaps the greatest and most exciting thing isn’t all those licensed Lego games – it’s seeing gaming cross over into the real-life toys. In fairness to the company, it was always pretty forward thinking – I have fond memories of several deeply experimental and delightfully weird Lego titles in the 90s. In the years since I was a kid, Lego has realized the power, reach, and significance of video games. While Lego and video games have long shared a close association, this might just be one of the best crossovers yet. Despite an increasing number of complaints about the rising cost of Lego and the lack of sustainability of the plastic toys, which aren't biodegradable, surveys and rankings show the Lego brand remains almost universally loved and trusted - a rare thing in the often-polarizing modern world.Earlier this week marked the launch of an exciting new collaboration between video games and one of the biggest toy companies in the world: Lego Sonic the Hedgehog. The launch of Lego Ideas in 2008, where users can submit concepts for new Lego products, is a social media strategy that’s since been copied by numerous brands (including us… send us your chart ideas!). Lego’s presence on Twitter and Facebook is also segmented into the most famous factions of the Lego-verse: Lego NinJago, Lego Marvel Game, and Lego Batman Movie are just some examples of accounts that Lego has whipped up to distribute specific content. The company’s YouTube channel features plenty of building, gaming, and how-its-made content, while its Instagram and Facebook pages mainly focus on personal stories, trends, and celebrity features. Lego produces unique content for all of its social channels tailored to the different platforms. Seeking a revitalization, Lego appointed its first non-family member CEO, Jørgen Vig Knudstorp, who sold off non-essential parts of the business and went back to basics: halving the number of LEGO pieces produced, cutting jobs, and - perhaps most crucially of all - asking kids what they actually wanted to play with. Sales plummeted almost 30% in 2003, pushing the company close to bankruptcy. However, by the early noughties, Lego was struggling. By the mid- 1960s, Lego was sold in 40+ countries, and, by the 1990s, the company was one of the world’s largest toy manufacturers. A devastating warehouse fire, which consumed the wooden toy inventory, forced the family to fully embrace their plastic future - a transition that marked the beginning of Lego’s meteoric rise. However, sales stacked quickly, with plastic toys accounting for half of Lego's production by 1951. Lego's foray into plastic - the precursor to Lego we know today, dubbed by Christiansen as ‘automated binding bricks’ - didn’t start until 1947, when the material was still novel. Two years later, he christened his venture Lego, a name derived from the Danish phrase " leg godt", meaning " play well". To sustain his livelihood, Ole Kirk pivoted to making wooden toys in the early 1930s, which he initially traded for food for him and his family. Ole Kirk Christiansen, a carpenter from Billund, Denmark, noticed that the demand for home construction and furniture was waning. Even with Lego’s modern legacy of movies, games, and theme parks, most of us think of Lego in its purest form: bright plastic bricks that can be built into whatever shape your creativity takes, from cars, to condos, to the Colosseum.ĭespite the playful design and imaginative spirit that Lego is known for today, its roots actually trace back to the Great Depression. |
