yes.
Other people bitch about the L85A2 and make jokes about it being heavy, awkward and about its jamtastic history... but I fucking love it all the same.
Never had to carry one into action so I suppose I can't talk, but still.

>>30501960
>Do you believe that the things your country has, weapons, troops, etc, are better than everywhere else?
I'm American so this is an objective fact.

If you give the US military a military objective such as Destroy the Iraqi Army or Conduct Operation Praying Mantis they will win overwhelmingly.

If you give them a political objective like Make Iraq and Afghanistan Democracies they are going to struggle and likely fail because those aren't activities a military should be taking part in.

spear goes in all fields

>>30501957
Tell that to the Romans. Though it has some merit, I think a spear works at least pretty well for anyone.

First off, cool pic, if not for the ugly asymetrical wings.

To answer your question, I didn't have that much of an expirience, some 7 months and going, but I work as a blacksmith and I study historical arms, armour and crafts, among other things, so... there's a bit.

The notion that long-armed man needing shorter weapon is bullshit. Imagine a bind. Now you have less reach with a weapon and more vulnerable arms. Hey ho. That being said, it would be useful with normal-sized things. Reach is king.

About leverage, mantlets, big torsos... Fuckin' shield and an axe. If you've got big upper body strength, axes are the shit. Axes are shit for defense, though. If only there was an obscure thing that could easily be held in one hand and provides very significant defense. That's right, a shield! From my expirience, boss-held shields require more strength and are more actively used. Man, did my left arm get swole after few months of swinging 5kg bossheld shield around! And being a mantlet is actualy a plus with a shield, since you can hide behind it more easily. Footwork is also a little bit more forgiving with a shield.

As for the other body types. I guess it is a bit of stereotype, but I've seen it in real life, so hey, stereotypes are true sometimes.

-This one really lanky guy, real flamboyant and agile, he liked to use two light-ish swords to a fair effect, also things like crouching below attacs, even rolls sometimes, really agile fellow. Most of the time it worked. One time, I smashed him in the head instead of his gut because of that. Ow.

-Another dude, sorta small, sorta light-ish, he was a skilled archer and knew his way around a sabre, good with a shield, too. Me being 6'4" 250lbs though? One time we got really hardcore on eachother - smacked him with my shield on his, whith all my weight put into it. Sent him flying on his ass maybe 7ft away.

(1/2? to be continued? Ask away btw)

DP 12, best home defense shotgun, pump action double barrel.

>>30501821
Okay, how much does it go for?

KSGs are significantly cheaper.

>>30501396

create Japanese jobs and making the JSDF kill against the chinks

>>30501396
It's main point is being able to carry Anti shipping ASMs, and I guess for a single engine fighter being bigger with more internal fuel without sacrificing pylons to fuel pods is good when operating over open water, but that's what in flight refueling is for anyways so I don't know. Come to think of it I don't know if Japan has tankers, but I assume they are NATO standard.

Lol his son got BTFO!

>Aged 64

Surprised the little shitter wasn't a barely functioning meat sack. Having kids that late is retarded in itself, should have known he was an idiot.

>>30501333
>Guy basically used a loaded pistol to dig hot brass out of his shirt

Jesus Christ. Too bad it was his kid and not him instead.

>>30501294
Why was he murdered?

Land Rover Defender is your only option. Great cars, fixed pretty easily.

>>30501964
probably expensive to fix.
I have a wrangler, great car. I can get ANYWHERE literally. Except the thing is small as fuck. Think about a tacoma, if not jeeps are badass. I personally think you should go with an old school grand cherokee and lift the hell out of it

2003 Toyota Tacoma, AKA what North America gets instead of the Hilux.

up the pooper

Old doctrine was that rifles were unslung in combat. If you had to carry something in one hand, say an ammo box or a litter, you carried the rifle by the handle in the other hand.

It's heavy

The Ruger is built like a goddamn tank, incredibly strong and reliable
The S&W is subjectively "nicer" in terms of build and appearance, and IMO has a nicer trigger
Both are fantastic, I chose the S&W but you can't go wrong either way

Ruger is chunky clunky, but cheaper
Smith is smoooove but I don't like the ones with wood grips.

>>30501254
I chose the 686 over the GP100

Been a cop for 10 years.

1. No
2. Average lifespan of a cop is 56 years.
3. Depends on the department. Expect 36k-54k base salary.
4. Shit goes down, you follow policy and procedures or at best you get fired, at worst you get arrested.
5. It's not hard by any means. I saw only about 3% of the class fail out.

>>30501293
Thanks.

I should tell you that I live in Polk county FL, I don't know if that makes a difference for anything.

What education would be required? Can I go into law enforcement right out of college? Or do i need to go to some training program? Also, what about it isn't worth it anymore?

What I meant by
>But with the public attitude towards cops I'm not aware if there's any more risk (I can't really articulate what I mean) than there normally would be.
is would I be at more risk to get shot by a dindu in a regular traffic stop that I would if all this shit wasn't happening?

First, tell us you're not going to a for profit career school. Second, get the Bachelor's degree. If you live in a state where few departments will hire you without certification, pay for yourself to go to an academy. You'll easily get a part time job and will have much better chances of getting a full time job.

1. Yes, but, that answer depends on where you're working
2. Yes, a 12+ pound duty belt and riding in a car for 8-12 hours per day
3. This depends on where you work and it's relative to the cost of living in that area.
4. Take off the tinfoil hat
5. Are you talking about the academy? It's geared so a public school grad should have no trouble. Each state is different, but, in my state depending on the certification it can be 200 hours to 1500 hours of classroom training before certification.

resume accepted

we'll contact you later with the details

I suppose most of yours apply to me, minus combat experience, swapping swimming for running, and good field dresser only when it comes to small game.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess muhreen?

Autistic.
Antisocial.

I think it's called "OP's shit taste"

it's the shoulder thing that goes up, and the feeling of revulsion you are experiencing is because of the high-capacity baby-killing that it enables.

kids these days who think they need to free float to improve the accuracy of wwb m193 and a rail for a surefire, or that a2 grip isnt best grip

or that a2 stock is too much (im a 5'5 manlet and have used them with IBA)

A 12-18" machete would probably be the most practical answer, but these are a little more pokey-stabby fun:

Steel isnt listed, but their review says MILD steel.

I'm looking for a functional piece, mild is crap.

>>30500941
A machete would really depend on the style and finish. I don't want some piece of shit cheapo metal stamp.

I love cold steel, but a gladius isnt really a crusader weapon. Ill go review their stock tho.
