Do you think Spetznatz is overrated?
>>28079099
They're ruthless, which makes them good enough for what they're expected to do
>>28079099
Possibly. They tend to be some pretty scary dudes in real life.

First off, this is not about banning guns. I like guns, I think they're cool and useful, I don't want them banned. I'm aware that my question would still apply in a world without guns.
Consider the following situation:
1. I killed someone. It's known that I killed someone, and not up for debate.
2. That person died facing me, holding a gun that never fired.
3. The killing occurred in a fraction of a second.
4. None of the witnesses happened to be looking directly at me during that precise fraction of a second, so they give conflicting testimony.
5. It is possible that I was the aggressor, and it is possible that I was the victim killing in self-defense. The physical evidence would be identical either way.
6. As far as anyone can determine, I do not know the dead person, I have no reason to want to harm them, and I have no history of crime or mental illness, and vice versa.
7. The only thing that can be known with certainty is that I shot first.
By current US law, the default assumption is that I killed in self-defense, and the burden of proof is on the prosecuting attorney to prove a negative, to prove the dead person wasn't going to kill me in the future, correct?
How can this be, when logically the aggressor has an advantage in that situation? By definition the aggressor acts before the victim reacts.
It would take a considerable amount of skill to draw, aim and fire with fatal accuracy in the time the other person, who has already drawn and aimed when you notice them, needs to simply pull the trigger.
So in the above situation, ignoring all other situations, we would expect the aggressor to be more likely to succeed in killing the victim than the reverse outcome.
My question is, why does the law say to take the killer's word for it? Wouldn't it be easy to lie and get away with murder as long as you choose victims and circumstances that would be inconclusive?
tl;dr

That it is better 100 guilty Persons should escape than that one innocent Person should suffer, is a Maxim that has been long and generally approved. - Ben "Thundercock" Franklin

Innocent until proven guilty, the prosecutor has to prove you committed any crime you are an trial for.
One helmet had the best price/weight - effectiveness ratio of WWI.
One helmet offered best protection while still being feasible to equip your army with.
One helmet was shit, and useful for little more than serving as a potty.

M2 is pretty much perfect in design.

Yeah maybe when blasters or phasers are invented. We are going to be humping that god damn gun into space

TOP KEK SLAVSHIT!!!
Oh believe you me, us British are ITCHING for a war with Russia. We will fucking ANNIHILATE your dirty country. There wouldn't be a square meter of Russian soil that has running water, electricity, or petrol that isn't on fire, once our airforce and navy is done bombarding your defenseless country. Then, our army boys (we'd send the muslims and other mongrel races first) would swoop in, raping your women, and killing EVERY slavshit shit they see. When the Britain is done with you, we will have committed acts of genocide. Of course no one is gonna do shit about it.

Last pack of royal commandos I spoke with told me your nation was cutting back its ground forces numbers to "home soil defense only" levels and is planned to augment its capabilities by relying more heavily on NATO, UN, and US relations.

Would it be illegal to create a device that fits into an AR 15's trigger guard designed to push the trigger with a solenoid. If I created this with a NO (normally open) push button switch and set it to push the trigger in time with the cycling would I be legal?
TL, DR is it "legal" to rig up electronics to rapidly pull the trigger for me?
>>28078512
Just like open bolt semi-autos are no longer kosher due to the ease they can be converted to full-auto, ATF tech branch has said the same about electronic trigger systems.
>>28078512
obviously not
>>28078512
add a double trigger and fan the trigger like a paintball gun
San Bernardino shooting pushed me over the edge. I live nearby and want to buy a .357 revolver for concealed carry. What are some good/not fugly ones I can expect to find around for a reasonable price? I like good value, but I'm also willing to spend a pretty good amount for my own safety and enjoyment.
Is there any real reason I should consider a different caliber/semi-auto? Because I'd rather not. I like the idea of having .357 and 38 special at my disposal.
Also how is it carrying around a small/medium sized revolver? I don't really want to get a snub.
>>28078465
Go to a shop, fire a few, pick one you like. Avoid Taurus.
>>28078465
Just get a Model 29 Smith and you're set.

good luck with that.

Also, Karl seems like way less of a douche in this video, wonder what's up with that.
How long does the battery last in a micro red dot?
I'm thinking of getting one for my upcoming full size handgun

what's the longest you been awake ?
Any advice on how stay awake and still be alert?
>>28077895
occupy yourself with something at all times, keep light bright, lots of blue
>>28077895
I stayed awake for 72 hours once i felt like dying
>>28077895
The longest I have gone is 5 days with out sleep but I was in a hospital. Normally I can and will go for 24 hours. After 24 hours it is not worth it because it is impossible to function.
