Being tacticool as a fashion statement has been around forever. They just had different technology at their disposal.

>>31797720
Talking from the POV of military. Obviously in fashionista terms, there is always going to be an allure.

People in the military, if issued 1990s SF gear would mostly find it inferior to their own gear. That's just how things are.

In 1990, some PVS-7s, a CAR-15, and a Second Chance vest might have been Gucci. In 2016, all of those are outclassed by basic bitch issued gear.

In the 1990s, those things were as tacticool as could be gotten ahold of.

I have never been able to figure out how the fuck Gucci is considered tacticool

Seriously what the hell would they do if the terrorists had any sort of body armor? SMGs aren't known for their stopping power unless they are literally shooting everybody in the face. Unless nobody really had body armor back then, but I understand that it was pretty widespread.

>>31799363
Shoot them more.

>>31797851
lol'd

As an addendum, older shit always looks more badass to the current generation. Guys in WWI were marching around going "Dude this new type of war is bullshit, no skill involved at all. Those Rough Riders were the real fuckin soldiers"
I think it mostly comes from people having nostalgia for new warfare if that makes sense. Everyone wants to obsess with the latest kind of fighting but still want to be a hipster and be into the "original" shit. In the 70's everyone loved WWII commando movies and ignored shit like the Green Berets, then in the 80's everyone ignored the narco wars and loved Rambo and Vietnam era SF shit, now we see modern SF and go "sure that's cool, but those dudes in the 80's/90's are what's really up those dudes are bamf

>>31798051
1) no it wouldn't, they aren't playing Fallout
2) they are attacking people who wouldn't have armor
3) no it wouldn't

>>31799384
This. Armor doesn't make you unstoppable, and they were more focused on shooting terrorists and drug smugglers and hostage takers who didn't really go for armor back then. If you're Pablo and find out you can arm two guys or arm and armor one guy which would you pick?

>>31807016
Back in the Vietnam era the XM177 was basically the preferred weapon of all the US SOF units that could get it. Pretty much as soon it even existed you had MACV-SOG guys comparing it to their submachine guns, and saying that they preferred the carbine for its range and lethality.

At some point there was a sort of shift back to 9mm submachine guns with US SOF, which was likely influenced by the British SAS and all the MP5 hype in the context of hostage rescue.

As for Grenada, while it's not very available on the internet what I've heard from some reliable sources is that part of the reason for the failed radio tower capture by ST6 was that they lacked enough firepower, having only subguns.

I heard D learns to shoot people in the pelvis when engaging with pistols. When you hit the pelvis the victim will fall to the ground, have immense pain and bleed out fast.

I can't claim to be a Delta brand Delta, but I was actually taught by both dedicated military shooting courses and hip-pocket training from SF guys that at mid-range to sometimes go for the groin. Basically, you start out shooting center of mass, but if the person isn't going down, you assume they have body armor and start pulling you shots down to hit exposed gut or groin below the armor. Easier and more reliable than going for a headshot since it is a bigger and less mobile target than the head.

Yea, no. You do not know what OPSEC means.

He was making a joke. Fug. Yeah it's technically PERSEC, but who really gives a shit?

Nobody has justified the murder of Pablo Escobar up to this point.

>Needing to justify the killing of a Narco terrorist despite his mass murders, assassinations, bombing of a plane, bombing of a civilian shopping block, and the fact he was in an open firefight during his capture

In that book "Inside Delta Force" he talks about them all training to double tap bad guys in the face. There is a part where they are in a room with targets set up and don't know anything is going on but then the group that graduated before them (aka the first guys ever in delta force) busts in and double taps all of the targets but doesn't hurt the good guys.

>>31805747
When Delta first started they needed a term to call themselves. They couldn't use agent and they didn't want to use any of the existing terms. So they went with operator and I guess everyone latched onto the term so now anyone with a tricked out AR and a paycheck signed by Uncle Sam is considered an operator.

>>31811793
There is actually a part of a documentary or something (I can't remember where I saw it) where the guy mentions pelvis shots for enemies wearing armor. He says something like he shoots them once and if they don't go down then he shoots them twice and if they still don't go down he mag dumps into their pelvis.

it's fucking crazy how they are paid killers under the disguise of military

He also blew up an entire fucking plane, full of civilians, because he thought the colombian president was going to be in it (he was wrong and the president survived). Narco-sympathizer fags should be wiped the fuck out.

look up "M203 Handguards". There's a lot of listings and site, but I can't tell you which are quality and which are shit. They were designed to fit around the launcher thing so I don't know if they'll work without one.
