Well in the case of the Iraq war it was done by bribing top generals of the Iraqi army

It depends on the number of people involved.
The greater the number, the less important the individual is.

The infamous 1986 FBI Miami shootout comes to mind. It's amazing how many gunshots the bad guys there took and continued to fight. There was a TV movie made about it a couple years later, and though it's kinda dated and has a few minor inaccuracies (the full auto Mini-14 comes to mind), it's a surprisingly accurate depiction of what happened:

Well OP, you've certainly raised a good question and I'll be happy to answer it. Normally, when the body is injured in the heat of the moment, adrenaline is pumped throughout the body. You tend to lose yourself essentially and you kind of feel a pinch or a punch, but you don't care. Because your brain has not registered the pain or even seen the extent of an injury, you actually avoid going into shock for a few minutes before succumbing to the effects of blood-loss (should the injury be serious enough, which, it tends to be in most firefights nowadays). When an explosion happens, usually you get a bit singed and even get some shrapnel embedded in your body but most veterans don't even realize that happens until years down the road. It is a frequent occurrence and has been since war has happened.

i heard the story out of iraq about an iraqi who head part of his skull blown off and kept shooting, like aiming shooting, not spraying, while still advancing, despite the sudden impromptu brain surgery he had just recieved

>>33966841
More like a Toyota pickup of handguns.

>>33966841
>The Glock pistol is like a Ferrari of handguns.
Not even meming: what the fuck did he mean by this?

Probs gonna die.

Doggo is deado, pressing multiple Fs for your stupidity.

.22 is rim fire so it doesn't fire as goodly and muchly as the centerfire normal bullets that people use for self defense. If you use a .22 it's more like to go click click instead of boom boom than a 9mm, unless this 9mm is a glock, in which case it just goes BOOM
Reliable ammo is a big dealio, so basically anything that isn't rimfire is betterer than a .22 for defending yourself from things

Shot placement doesn't matter if you don't get sufficient penetration. The origin of the 1911/.45ACP "stoppin powah" meme was that .32ACP and .38spc in WW1 military loadings had trouble punching through thick winter clothing and still delivering fatal wounds. .45ACP ball out of an M1911 delivered EXIT wounds. Ammo has improved a lot since then. .45ACP, .40S&W, 10mm Auto, and 9mm Luger are about as low as you want to go for reliably killing things that you hit. The 9mm has the lightest recoil and largest magazine capacity out of these chamberings, which is why police and NATO standardized on it, which in turn is why it's cheap as shit on the civilian market.

It literally won't make a difference.

>>33966554
A 20 gauge is fine. I'd seriously consider an H&R single-shot. They're out of production, but easy to find and not very expensive at all.

>>33966554
20 gauge is cheap and will do the job just as good (i.e. kill the thing you're pointing it at assuming proper load and shot).

>>33966554
you should use a 22 or even an air rifle for squirrels. a 12 gauge will be better for range. i don't know of too many 20 gauge double barrels. you might consider a 16 gauge if you want the kick of a 12 with better range than a 20. shells are a little more expensive though.

>>33966507
Looks dumb

>>33966507

I'm not a fan, but I can see where some people would want one, so I don't care. The only feature on firearms I hate in any context is a magazine disconnect

it's yet one more component on a firearm that really serves no real purpose.

Finger off trigger
Gun pointed towards safe direction
Drop mag
Press check

There, you're done

i carry one too, it's a 'bitch' defensive option because girls are 'not' capable of defending themselves without any weapon, it's just a made up story, maybe for advertisement, who knows. i don't carry a gun, but at least one folder, one bright (500lm) flashlight and a pepper spray with me, however the best off course is not to get involve in a fight, but if you must, fight it with your life,no matter what tools you have

I live in NY and and am a weak ass pussy bitch, don't carry pepper spray but I keep thinking about doing it. Tons of sketchy fucks around here.

>>33966410
Worked security for a bit with a firm that would only let us use non-lethals. The problem I found is that eventually you'll run across people that give absolutely no fucks about your non-lethal device. Doused a guy in pepper spray and he kept coming like it was fucking perfume. Saw a guy get tased and he broke the wires and was up again on the attack in less than a few seconds. There is just some people that can only be stopped by a bullet.

Currently califag moving out in a few months feels good.

New Yorker here, I really hope the trigger-weight legislation doesn't pass. My only hope is that it'll fuck over so many people that it will make the fudds realize that they can't afford to sit on the sidelines while the rest of us suffer. They hold a lot of political influence, so if they mobilize it might make a difference. Of course, the Republicans in NY are largely spineless so I likely hope in vain.

I'm also praying for the prospect of an upcoming constitutional convention that may give Upstate home rule, unfortunately NYC and Albany are already trying to put a negative spin on the idea. I don't want to believe it but prospects look grim and things haven't even really gotten underway yet.

>normie book

I didn't know autism was the new normie.

>>33966168
I haven't had that issue, but yeah I'd recommend just pushing harder.

>>33966168
Never had that issue...but if you want an excuse to trick out your 10/22 you can replace your trigger pack with a Kidd single stage which is all metal and comes with a metal mag release.

>>33966168
have you ever disassembled the gun? sounds like you may have fucked up the magcatch during reassembly. or your just not inserting it all the way.

>>33965904
How could this go wrong?

Arming radical Islamist groups has never ever backfired on the US so of course it's a good idea

I carry an M1860 Cavalry Saber. Get some good classes and even a wristbreaker's fine.

Prove it faggot.
Cops would be onto you if they was someone with a bigass sword on their hip.

>>33965540
It would be perfectly viable, but only if you dressed like that.
