Do any of you fancy yourself sheepdogs?

While I have some serious problems with the metaphor, I do find it uniquely useful in explaining the mentality of law enforcement and the worst of military veterans.

There are people who actually believe that everyone except them are sheep, but that they are the noble protectors standing watch over the flock. In fact, they are like sheepdogs, but not in the way they espouse. Rather, they are property of some shepherd, and they exist only to do his bidding, whatever it may be. What the shepherd bids is the exploitation of the sheep by force.

As a sheep, you are property as well. You must give wool to the shepherd. You must give milk to the shepherd. You must make children and give them to shepherd for lamb chops. The sheepdog is instrumental in exacting this fealty from you. The shepherd can't control you himself, so he sics his dogs on you. They bite you and they bark at you and they herd you where the shepherd wants you to go. There is nothing you can do about it.

So far I've mentioned the sheep and the sheepdogs, and brought up the missing character from the metaphor, the shepherd. But what of the wolves? The problem with the wolves in the metaphor is that they imply that there are "good guys" and "bad guys" and that these roles are inherent and immutable. Grossman goes so far as to say the wolves are "aggressive sociopaths" who lack all empathy for other human beings. He attributes all crime to such people, being clear that he thinks only such inherently evil monsters would ever go against the law (that is, the will of the shepherd).

What is up with the mods at TFB? They deleted this comment directly from Sig when called out on their bullshit story:

>Phil / Nicholas - comical story, but patently false. I'm not even going to comment on a direct impingement BCG that supposedly came out of a piston SIG516.

I've been green-texting my silly stories on /k/ over the past couple weeks. This is tales from the gun counter #5. I work part time at a gun counter in a large retail store. I get a good discount, and enjoy the supplemental income. I am enthusiastic about sporting goods, and try my best to help everyone who comes into the store. Some of these stories are slightly exaggerated, this thread is for humor. Once again I'll invite everyone to share any funny gun shop related stories they have as I post my shitty greentext.

What unorthodox/improvised weapons would you use against riot police, either from the street if you were foolish enough to be there or from the rooftops/apartment windows.
Assume you are not using firearms for whatever reason and no store bought blackpowder ect.

Beyond your average molotov cocktail I'd say 1-1.5L plastic bottles with dry ice and water would cause a great deal of damage and confusion. That and no one would want to touch them once they've been thrown, try to kick it away and suddenly you can't hear and have a sprained ankle.

If this happened to you, in the US, and you were armed, what would you have done?

WW1 melee weapons thread?

Can we discuss the weapons we know were used in close quarters in the great war?

>During trench raids, soldiers were typically allowed to pick their weapons.
>Shotguns were popular choices, if available, as well as grenades and handguns (often privately purchased or looted, as well.) , then came the sturdy, silent melee weapons.

I've read records (though who knows where.) of soldiers using
>Bayonets, improvised spears, butcher knives, hooked knives (Anyone know what these could be? Pruning knives, perhaps? I can't imagine kerambits were popular yet.), swords, hunting knives, canes, entrenching tools, thick sticks, clubs, baseball bats, billy clubs, sand bags(!!) , axes, hatchets, pick axes, rocks, brass, lead, steel, aluminum, and wooden knuckles, machetes, and just about anything else.

Where can I read more about this? What books should I read? Any good movies? I'm especially interested in the trench raiding aspects.
