I find your lack of faith disturbing.

>>34336247
No, mythbusters tried to chop down an absurdly large petrified tree with a low power round.
My buds and I have chopped down normal sized trees by blatting at them many times and there are youtube vids out there showing how easy it is.

Mythbusters are fucking garbage.

Also, those target logs in SG1 had already been blasted to shit with energy weapons.

>>34335376
Why did air force with very little equipment get sent in when usmc or other should have gone in?

>>34336695
They had Marines early in Season 1 but they all got BTFO by actual cavemen and never came back after that.

Which has better wound vectors, 5.45 or 5.7?

>>34336738
>Air Force does infantry combat

There are MANY things wrong with SG1, to include P90's.

>>34336247

LOL, we do it all the time.

>>34336738
>They had Marines early in Season 1 but they all got BTFO by actual cavemen and never came back after that.
A couple of the SG teams are actually marine fireteams. They're just called in when resistance is encountered or someone needs rescuing.

I forget the actual designations because it doesn't matter but only a handful of the SG teams are actually exploration/first-contact teams like SG1, others are assault teams and stuff. Those aren't 4-man either.

And look, somebody made a list.

>Air Force does infantry combat
Air Force started the program.
But if you look at any of the episodes where they're recruiting, they consider all branches. AF were just the first in.

>>34336247
As a side match at cowboy action shoots we'd sometimes have 2 squads setup with a piece of railway tie each. First squad to cut the tie wins. Only took a few minutes with 10-15 people dumping 38's 44's and 45's into it.

>>34336247
What? I literally cut down saplings with a bolt action .22 when I was a kid.

Wtf i just watched this clip today on youtube, it was in my suggested.

I'm sorry, but are you dumb? Genuinely curious, because if there's a branch that gets money literally thrown at it it's them.

Or are you trying to say that the USAF isn't allowed to own P90s because if so I'm going to laugh at you and call you a retard.

>>34338132
>>Air Force does infantry combat
Also USAF has had ground elements since it's inception, but in the modern era there are two things that stand out: CCTs and SOWTs. To say that the USAF has nobody capable of fighting retards in metal armor and literal boomsticks is just stupid and naive. Also this isn't mentioning pararescue and everyone else under AFSOC.

>>34336695
If the good guys have reasonable amounts of gear then it would be too much of a strain on suspension of disbelief as to why they can't deal with the bad guy of the week with what they actually brought with them and thus have to follow the native goatfucker down the yellow brick road to get the magical macguffin.

The incentive to use the P90 was that it was fluffy - durr lighter round carry more boolit on expeditionary force and all of that - but it was also a way to differentiate the show from all other scifi shows that either pulled out M4s/M16s when shit got tough or had to rely on shitty prop guns that didn't actually go bang.

So now you have a real meme gun that (at the time) was relatively unknown and that actually goes bang, but isn't the standard issue

She just did that for that one shitty show, she's American/Canadian

I watched it yesterday and today there's a thread about it, spooky.

mfw just watched this episode yesterday.

I always found this show a little goofy, I guess it's supposed to be a little.

You would think they wouldn't want the people to make first contact with aliens to look like soldiers carrying guns. In Star Trek they would get dressed in the formal attire to greet a new species.

>>34340631
Stargate always had an almost colonialism feel to it.

>>34336247
I'm english and can tell you for a fact that people cut down trees with 12 gauges. It entirely depends on the tree, the round, the range, et cetera.

>>34340638

Lol yeah, especially since most of the "aliens" were actually humans. When they did meet real aliens they got BTFO.

>>34336247

So?

I'm an Arborist and I can tell you, that your talking a load of bollocks.

You cannot fell a tree with birdshot.

im telling you as a firearms enthusiast even a blank will cut down a sapling just from the pressure wave if it's point blank

>>34340658
I'm someone who's seen it with my own eyes and I can tell you that I don't care what you think. lol. Arborist.

>>34340663
Don't know anything about that but small thin trees can absolutely be btfo by birdshot.

The air force can have infantry, just not throught the meatgrinder perspective of marines and army.

For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Force_Special_Operations_Command#Personnel_and_resources

Somebody wanna explain the wound vectors meme?

The guy originally just said something about her British accent, which I assume he was unaware she put on for a TV show she did (Sanctuary). He demonstrated disdain for the cosmopolitan British limey fucks, as any red blooded America with a sense of himself and history should, which you turned into something about other non-American nationalities because you're just a faggot like that apparently.

they used P90's because the armourer was able to get a good deal for shit loads of 5.7 blanks that were just sitting around.
The scifi look of the P90 was a bonus.

Bongs, when will you learn?

"Arborist" here (lol) saying that buckshot will eventually cut through wood because any fucking mongoloid retard knows that shot is harder than wood and that means the shot wins. Eventually. So yes, you could even fell a giant sequoia with a Rossi single-shot if you worked for a year at it.

Short term yes you can cut limbs off that refuse to fall with 12 gauge anything and property owners kek every time. One guy even joined in when I told him I couldn't climb up and get it because of how it would swing.
