I'm not a combat medic, but the two things that stick out in my mind would be:

1) read as many books as you can that discuss the effect of gunshots on the body. Massad Ayoob has several well regarded ones.

2) Study human anatomy in general. There are probably classic books on these topics that would be used in medical school. Google could probably help you identify them. Find what's considered "the standard" and study it.

3) Many military manuals discuss emergency procedures. I know the "SAS Survival Handbook" does; I would assume there are other similar works.

4) Check out training for related fields. I would imagine there are books/manuals for EMTs that would probably have a lot overlap for a combat medic.

5) Study up on your tools. Things like clotting agents, tourniquets, etc. Who makes the best ones? Why? What makes one better than another? Companies are constantly making new products in these fields so it would make sense for you to know about them.

>How did old sword combat work
You thrust at unarmoured parts or hit the helmet hard enough for the opponent to see the stars

>>33783522
Most were not very sharp, and they don't need to be, either. Even a blunt edge is easily capable of breaking bones and causing internal damage even if it doesn't break the skin (which it probably would anyway).

Check out the NOVA special called "secrets of the viking sword". It's on youtube Near the beginning of the video there is a neat demonstration comparing a blunt medieval bastard sword vs. a sharp Katana.

Sword combat changed a lot over time as well. It really depended on armor technology of the day. You had an arms race between swords and armor. Full plate armor made the wearer pretty much impervious to a sword so pointed weapons like picks and warhammers were used instead. Then the gun was invented which could shoot clean through plate armor. At that point there was no need to wear heavy plate armor so that's when you had the development of things like the "small sword" and classic fencing weapons like a saber or rapier. When people aren't wearing armor you don't need a very large sword to kill.

How sharp is a kitchen knife?
Same deal with swords - it depended entirely on how sharp the wielder liked to keep his sword.

bump

Anon, I do load my own 12 ga. And those brass are definitely interesting. Sure you could make something outta them but I can't say how much.

But as a loader I can see that the primers doesn't seem like the modern primers for shotshells. Check if they are boxer primer first, then you should punch one out and take measurements of the primer pocket. Gotta be sure of what primers you would need first.

Loading 12 ga is easy but a little tedious if you don't have really specific equipment, because you have to weight both powder and shot. Positive side tho, most of the loads can be charges with pistol powders. If you have something for .38 SPL or .357 Mag you're set.

>That midwest forehead

I hope your plowing at least one of them.

Relish in the brit guns you couldn't' have before

an ar-15
a pump action shotgun in 12 gauge
a handgun in 9mm

pretty much start out with those and then maybe grab a 10/22 and some other handguns in other calibers/sizes

The only acceptable answer.


All of them.

Slacker. There are plenty of single shot 20 gauge shotguns that need your love at a fraction of the price! you can line them up into a coffee table or kitchen counter.

chiappa rhinos are notoriously unreliable and therefore a terrible choice for a first gun.

Get something like a S&W 686 for your first and then get a chiappa as your "car that's usually at the mechanics but is fun on the weekends"

>Is the 40DS a decent gun

Relative to other revolvers on the market with a similar purpose and price point, it is a less than ideal choice. The build quality of the Chiappa is worse (about on par with Taurus), while the gun itself is significantly more expensive than other .357 Magnum service sized revolvers.

For comparison, it is 1.5x as much as a GP100 or 1.3x as much as 686, and the only thing it has over those guns is its 6 'o clock barrel. Every other aspect of it is worse. Furthermore, compared to the aforementioned GP100 or 686, it has an absolutely tiny aftermarket and significantly worse customer support due to Chiappa USA being an absolutely tiny outfit. Get it if you want a space revolver, but know that better options exist.

Why is that? Also what hand guard are you using? I want something to cover at least the 3 lug mount and adapter.

>>33782502
Tbh that handguard needs like, 6-8 more inches for that gun to not look retarded

>>33782525
Ya I was using an osprey on it before the octane came back. DESU it looks a lot better direct threaded but I want to change it as you'll realize if you read the rest of the my post.
