But on a more serious note, that's a great suggestion. I was thinking that Bacephalus would be a good character for this thread: he was the most famous hoers in all of antiquity (the classical age).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_antiquity
There's also quite a few legends surrounding him:
>The Alexander Romance presents a mythic variant of Bucephalus's origin. In this tale, the colt, whose heroic attributes surpassed even those of Pegasus, is bred and presented to Philip on his own estates. The mythic attributes of the animal are further reinforced in the romance by the Delphic Oracle who tells Philip that the destined king of the world will be the one who rides Bucephalus, a horse with the mark of the ox's head on his haunch.
He even come with his own original cutie mark.

Bucephalus wouldn't go by "Buck." He would ensure everyone, especially privates, can say his name. Extra punishment to those privates who can't.

I've always adored wheelguns used in the second World War (but not necessarily 'WWII' pistols). The Nagant, the Webley, but most of all the M1917.

I always thought it looks a little oversized in video games, but I got to see when the operator/curator in a cool local military museum let me hold one, it's fucking huge.

He was cool, when I asked him to take a photo of me with my phone for my class I was there for, he brought me over to the WWII bolt actions and said "choose your weapon."

Support your local military museums. They've got some cool shit, and if you talk with them and show them you actually appreciate the artifacts and the history behind it...they might let you be a part of it.

Yes! World War 1 also had a bunch of unique service revolvers that unfortunately didn't see any more action afterwards. Like the Smith and Wesson No. 3 Revolver, the Italian Bodeo 1889, the Colt New Service (1898), the M1917 of course, the Nagant 1895, various British bulldog revolvers, and the Webley 1887.

I absolutely love WW1, because it's the visual, brutal transition into modern warfare. There are still 'old' weapons in service like revolvers and even lever-actions (The Russians ordered a bunch of modified Winchester Rifles to cope with not having enough Mosins, called the Winchester Model 1915) while the birth of legendary weapons still used today (Such as the Colt M1911 Pistol, Browning M1918 BAR, and the Madsen Light Machine Gun) is occurring simultaneously with new evolutions in weaponry (Like the beginning of the Light Machine Guns for Infantry trend with the Lewis Guns, the Hotchkiss and Benet-Mercie rifles, and the Chauchat LMG as well as the real start of self-loading rifles with the Mexican Mondragon and later the French Model 1917 RSC, not to mention the birth of the submachine gun with the famous German MP18, the Italian Beretta Model 1918, and the Russian Avtomat Federov 1916 and the French Ribeyrolles 1918 Carbine. Although unfortunately those last two never caught on) and the beginnings of long lines of guns continued to this day (Like the Beretta Modello 1915 Pistol, the first in a line of many well-known Beretta Pistols ultimately leading up the modern M9).

It's also the last large-scale war in which Cavalry was effectively used. As in Cavalry charges with swords and guns. Although Cavalry was fairly successful in the early days of the war on the Western Front, unfortunately the stalemate of trench warfare meant that Cavalry officers had to leave their horses pretty early on and enter the trenches with the other soldiers. But on the Eastern Front and the Arabian Front, Cavalry saw much more success

(Cont. Big History bump I guess)

The Russians used Cavalry somewhat effectively against the Germans since Trench Warfare wasn't as pronounced on the Eastern Front as it was on the Western. And in the Middle East, horses were essential. Arabian Rebels fought against the Ottoman Empire using Cavalry, and the Ottomans used them too in engagements with the Russians and then later with the British at the Third Battle of Gaza in 1917, where both sides used Cavalry extensively. The Aussies are also somewhat famous for their use of Cavalry. Although the Australian and New Zealand Mounted Divisions often fought dismounted, they times they did fight mounted made a noticeable difference. The Australian 4th Light Horse Brigade are famous for doing what's pretty much known as the last actually successful Cavalry charge in history, when they galloped into heavy machine gun fire with only their rifles and bayonets, jumped over the trenches into the enemy camp, and dismounted to fight in the trenches while others rode on to capture the essential town of Beersheba. This charge was pretty vital to securing Marshal Allenby's victory on the Palestinian Front. Props to the Aussies for being such horse-riding badasses.

Even the United States used Cavalry in the First World War. US Cavalry served as a scouting force during the St. Mihiel Offensive and later the infamous Meusse-Argonne Offensive of 1918. Pic related is a US Soldier putting a crude gasmask on a horse.

(Cont. again)

Unfortunately, with the developments of modern military tactics and technologies, Cavalry wasn't of substantial use anymore. You gotta remember that World War 1 was the birth of the tank, with the British Landship tanks and the various French tanks, including the Light Renault tank (which revolutionized tank development as it was the first tank with a swiveling turret) and their St. Chamond Moving Gun Assault Tanks (One of which still survives to this day. It was actually just at the Bastille Day Parade in France. I'll admit that I creamed my pants when I saw it). And a horse can't do too much against a tank, so gradually they got replaced. British Landships were vital at the Battle of the Somme in 1916, and I hate to say it but a Cavalry charge couldn't have possibly have had the same amount of success. Even the Germans (Who really disliked and doubted tanks in WW1) had their own tank, the monstrous A7V Sturmpanzerwagen. Nicknamed the "Moving Fortress," this thing was a fucking beast, and although it serviced some 27 men per tank and weighed substantially more than any tank the Allies had, it was faster too. They also had cool nicknames, like Schnuck and Siegfried. The first ever tank-on-tank battle actually occurred between a German A7V (Christened "Nixe") and 3 Mark IV Landships at the battle of Villers-Bretonneux in 1918. The A7V ended up losing, but not by too much. Only one of these survives today, a captured one christened Mephisto. Truly legendary stuff. Pictured is the Mephisto in all it's glory

Sorry for the autism-tier history lesson, hopefully someone found all that useful. Anyways, I'd love to have a green about a Cavalry soldier in World War 1. Maybe the story of a British Cavalry Officer on the Western Front and his existential crisis and mental decline as he realizes that cavalry is quickly becoming irrelevant due to the stalemate, and his worries about what'll happen to his faithful steed as he's forced into the horrific trenches with his fellow soldiers. He might continue to attempt to live in the past while the world around him plunges head-first into the modern era of tanks, planes, and machine guns, or he might sadly come to terms with it and emotionally say goodbye to his beloved horse as he enters the trenches and the modern world.

Or maybe it could be about a jovial Aussie Light Horseman who's a part of the many famous battles on the Palestinian Front of the War

Or maybe even an Arabian Rebel and his horse in they're struggle against the Ottoman Empire in the Middle East.

Either way, I'd love to see any of it it and I'd love any Anon who wrote it.

The Charge of the Light Brigade
BY ALFRED, LORD TENNYSON
I
Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
“Forward, the Light Brigade!
Charge for the guns!” he said.
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.

II
“Forward, the Light Brigade!”
Was there a man dismayed?
Not though the soldier knew
Someone had blundered.
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die.
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.

III
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Volleyed and thundered;
Stormed at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of hell
Rode the six hundred.

IV
Flashed all their sabres bare,
Flashed as they turned in air
Sabring the gunners there,
Charging an army, while
All the world wondered.
Plunged in the battery-smoke
Right through the line they broke;
Cossack and Russian
Reeled from the sabre stroke
Shattered and sundered.
Then they rode back, but not
Not the six hundred.

V
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon behind them
Volleyed and thundered;
Stormed at with shot and shell,
While horse and hero fell.
They that had fought so well
Came through the jaws of Death,
Back from the mouth of hell,
All that was left of them,
Left of six hundred.

VI
When can their glory fade?
O the wild charge they made!
All the world wondered.
Honour the charge they made!
Honour the Light Brigade,
Noble six hundred!

I think that's mostly just because smaller hoers are easier to control, not because he wasn't tall enough to mount them: He wasn't exactly the best rider, per say.

The only poni version i can find is kind of meh

>N brand
Well there's the main element of his cutie mark right there

>>30641302
This.
Historic canon brands are a must. If people still wanna do the hat, it should be a hat with an "N" on it.

>>30641493
It should be the N with crossed sabers behind it and maybe a French flag. He can wear the bicorn as an affectation.

>>30623804
Fun Fact, Reckless's original name was "Ah-Chim-Hai," which translates into "Flame of the Morning"

Pretty cool name if you ask me

>N with crossed sabers behind it and maybe a French flag
gross
the N is sufficient, although a bicorn would be more show-accurate, since Cutie Marks rarely-if-ever incorporate legible characters

>>30641910
Personally I'm all for either just a bicorn or just a cavalry saber.

>>30641910
A single letter is a bit plain. I like the hat with the N on it.

>>30626543
I love this pic so much!

>>30641910
>>30642156
>>30642034
I think a bicorn with an N would be good. I don't really like the N; it doesn't translate well to a cutie mark, but it's historic and must be included.

So maybe the hat in >>30628051 with an N on it?

Would Confederate pones be racist? Race in humans and in pones isn't really parallel.

>>30645257
Most confederate soldiers didn't really fight for the sake of race relations. Sure, a lot of them were racist, most people were at the time, but that wasn't the purpose of their service.

>>30645257
>>30645437
I can still see them treating Zebras and Donkeys as 2nd class citizens.

>>30645437
Right, I know a lot of them were fighting for the sake of duty (to family, to the South, to their way of life, etc). But now that these horses are sentient as ponies, surely they have opinions about slavery. Were they supportive of their master? Or maybe if they had the choice, they'd have fought for the Union, or not at all?

>>30645539
The simple answer is that any or all of them could be racist, but there's no need for all or any of them to be racist.

The real question is, "Does /warpone/ want five more Aryannes?"

>>30645728
1800s racism isn't the same as "GAS THE KIKES RACE WAR NOW" racism, although obviously I don't expect /mlp/ to be able to consistently make the disticntion in their handling of the characters.
The pony equivalent of classical racism would be noticing that Zebras speak in rhymes, earth ponies are good at farming, griffons are greedy userers, etc., and being surprised if anyone made a big deal out of it (i.e., exactly what's depicted in the actual show).

>>30645728
>More Aryannes
That's a good point, but I've always been wary of outright celebrating Confederates. I can appreciate a realistic, respectful introspection and look at their history, but someone who fights for slavers... I can't really honor that.

Of course, this isn't the horse's fault. So I'm trying to think of a way I can properly appreciate those pones. It's much easier when it's a clear hero like Reckless, but all the Confederate stuff makes it complicated.

That said, I'm definitely excited to see what this thread wants to do with those horses.

Napoleon himself had the symbol of the bee.

that could be passed down to Marengo.

>>30645940
Separate the two.
You can respect the accomplishments of a person even if your views are diametrically opposed to their own.

>>30646099
Yes, I respect Robert E. Lee's prowess, but I can't say I respect his accomplishments since they were in support of the Confederacy. It's those very accomplishments that I can't respect.

>>30645940
slavery was part of it, but the real issue was the man keeping the little people down(irony)
slave states were chiefly rural, with less population and less political sway. Lincoln was anti slave, so when he became president the confederate states seceded from the union. The war was kind of a political protest that got way out of hand.

People like to demonize the Confederacy cause they had slaves, ignoring that neutral states had them too. Yeah, there's a lot of racism in the south today, but there's just as much everywhere else. New York has about as many racists as Mississippi.

>You take a step forward up towards the snowy hill.
>It looks like dusk, and the wind is howling just like it was when you were ambushed before
>The fog and blowing snow won't let you see more than a couple feet in front of you
>So you just keep walking up the hill
>Step by step, you inch closer towards the top
>After an eternity you reach it.
>The fog and wind and snow suddenly stop, and it's deathly quiet
>There's a man standing mournfully next to a lone tree atop the hill
>He's facing away from you, but you notice he has several holes in his torso and his uniform is bloodstained
"Hey!" you shout. "Are you alright?"
>He turns to face you
>His skin is deathly pale, and his narrowed eyes lack any spark of life
>Wait..
>The uniform, the holes in his chest..
>"You killed me."
>No..
"I.. I.. W-what-"
>As you struggle to find the right words to stay another man walks up the hill
>He's wearing the same uniform as the soldier by the tree, except instead of holes in his chest he has a knife embedded in his throat
>Blood is running down from his wound.
>"You killed me too, Private."
>"We had family."
>"We had friends."
>"We had comrades."
>As they speak they slowly shuffle towards you.
"No! S-stop! This is war, I had to!"
>"You shouldn't be here Private."
>"I bet you miss home."
>"You could have avoided us, Private."
>They get closer and closer.
>"We didn't need to die."
"No! No, no no no, NO! NOOOO!"
>But it's too late.
>They've already reached you.

>>30646953
>You awake with a gasp
>You're in a cold sweat and breathing heavily
>Holy shit..
>Reckless is fast asleep on top of you as usual
>The first rays of sunshine dimly illuminate the inside of the tent
>You try your best not to wake her with your sudden panic, but she stirs anyways
>"Private?" she asks sleepily
>"Are you okay?"
>...
"Uh.. yeah, yeah, I'm fine. Eeyup."
>"Are you sure? I thought I heard-"
>She's obviously not convinced.
"Y-yeah, never been better Sarge."
>Reckless eyes you suspiciously before standing up to stretch
>"Whatever. I suggest we get moving if you want that promotion, Private."
>Oh right!
>You reminisce on your dream a bit before standing up yourself
>As much as you hate to agree with those figures in your dream, they were right..
>You do miss home.
>A lot.
>Even if you can only remember it partially..
>You shake your head to clear your mind of those thoughts
>This was your home now.

>>30646956
>You and Reckless exit the tent together
>The camp is quiet during the early hours, with a few soldiers congregating at the mess tent for breakfast
>You'd be joining them soon after your promotion
>The sunlight shimmers off the snow covering the camp
>All quiet.
>When you enter the Warrant Officer's tent you find him leaning back on his chair, dead asleep
"Uhh.. Sir? You good?"
>Was that a bottle next to him?
>He awakes with a start
>"W-what? Oh, hey Private."
>He rubs his eyes tiredly
>"I assume you're here for the promotion?"
"Yes sir."
>"Good. Uh, sorry if isn't as formal as you'd like, but I think we can both agree that there isn't much time for that in war."
>He gets up to shake your hand
>"Welcome to the rank of Lance Corporal, Anon. But if you don't mind I think I'll still call you Private." he says with a smirk
>Reckless stifles a laugh
>You fight the urge to kick her, and instead reach out to shake the Warrant Officer's hand
>"Thank you, Sir."
>The two of you shake hands, and McCain resumes his seat at his desk
>"Stay safe, alright Anon? And keep Reckless safe too."
>Reckless rolls her eyes
>She has 'I can keep myself safe.' written all over her
>You hold back a chuckle
"I'll try my best Sir."

>>30646963
>The next few months pass by uneventfully
>You at least make sure to trade the Arisaka rifle you picked up in for the rifle you're familiar with: The M14 Semi-Auto
>But after that, the mixture of repeatedly deflecting Reckless's romantic advances and all the menial tasks of winter all just blend together until you can't keep track of them anymore
>The only thing that really stands out are your dreams
>You keep returning to the snowy mountain, and conversing with the two soldiers you have killed
>Sometimes you'd talk about home.
>Sometimes you'd talk about the war.
>Sometimes you just wouldn't talk at all, simply sitting there in silence with them
>No matter what you did, there was something peaceful about the dreams
>But they always ended abrubtly, and it's beginning to get hard to differentiate the dream from reality
>You're convinced you're going insane.
>But you feel like you'd be better off not telling anyone
>You just hoped that eventually the dreams would end
>Even if they did feel peaceful.
>Soon enough the snow began to melt, and the early signs of spring began to show
>It was getting warmer by the day
>And the dreams were becoming less and less frequent
>And things were going somewhat well in the war too
>Actual peace talks had finally begun
>You might actually be home within a year or so
>If things keep up the way they're going, that is
>Late one spring night you and Reckless are talking in your tent over a game of cards

>>30646971
>"Oh, I just love spring!" she says
"How come?"
>"It reminds me of when I was a foal. Back on this little racetrack.."
>You keep playing in silence for a few seconds
"Would you have stayed there if you had the chance?" you ask
>"Hell no! This is my life now. It's all I have. And even when the going get's tough.. we still have eachother."
"Do you think you'll go back when this is all over?"
>"I.. don't know." she says hesitantly
>"I know there were other horses.. and I had a different name. And there were some other people, but I can't remember much of it now. Only that they were nice. It was nice. But I still don't know if I'll go back.. I hardly know that place anymore."
"Maybe when this is all over I can take you back home with me," you suggest. "To the States."
>"I think I'd like that." Reckless says with a smile
>"I think I'd like that a lot."
>The two of you share a moment before you realize somethings off
"Wait a minute, where are my chips? Sarge, are you eating them again!?"
>"W-what? N-noo, I-"
>"Hey! Are you two awake?"
>Warrant Officer McCain pokes his head into your tent
>There's bags under his eyes, and he looks tired
>Really tired.
>"Something big just came up. The Chinese are trying to gain some leverage; there's just been a big attack on the Nevada Cities Outposts and firefights are still going on. I need you two ready in 10 minutes to bring them some support."
>You both nod and start scrambling to get your gear on
>M1 helmet, check.
>Bayonet, check.
>M14 Semi-automatic Rifle, check.
>M3A1 Grease Gun, check.
>Backpack and ammo, check.
>You're ready.

>>30646979
>After hastily packing ammo and first aid onto Reckless and hastily getting ready yourself, the pair of you leave the base to join the battle
>The Nevada Cities Outposts wasn't terribly far from base
>Located on the front, it's been a suspected area of attack for a while now
>The longer you and Reckless walked, the louder the sounds of the fighting got
>You could hear artillery barrages in the distance and as you got closer to the hills you could hear small arms fire and shouting
"We better hurry up!" you say looking to Reckless
>The two of you reach the site some time after midnight.
>Looking up, you see a bunker engulfed in flames
>There's various firefights happening on the hill as well
>The fires and gunshots are the only things that illuminate the battlefield
>It looks like Outpost Vegas is lost.
>Along with Reno.
>But it seems that at least Carson was still in Marine hands
>"This isn't good." Reckless says, pausing to witness it all
"No, it really isn't." you say. "We should go. The other Marines need these supplies."
>And so you head to Outpost Carson
>The sounds of gunfire are unrelenting as you march
>When you arrive at Outpost Carson you find chaos
>Men are running around everywhere, checking on the wounded, asking for orders, helping wherever they can
>One of them runs up to you looking relieved
>It's a Gunnery Sergeant
>"Oh thank God! Are these the supplies from base camp?"
"Yes, sir. Ammunition and first aid."
>"Perfect! Now that we have this, Lance Corporal, I'm gonna need your help. We're launching a counter-attack with F Company and we need every man we can get."
"Sir, yes Sir!" you shout
>You leave Reckless with the group of soldiers remaining to safeguard Outpost Carson
>As tough as she is, she can't really do much in a firefight
>What with being a horse and all.
>"Hey!" she says before you leave
"Hmm?"
>"Don't get killed."

>>30646987
>"Ready men!?"
>The CO stood in front of you, looking at his soldiers expectantly
>You were joining the lead platoon of the company at Reno Block in their effort to retake Outpost Vegas and Outpost Reno
>Multiple hours of fighting had allowed them to retake the blocking position at least, but not yet the Outposts
>You check your M14
>Loaded and ready.
>The CO nods after a couple seconds
>"Let's GO!"
>You and the other men of the Platoon move up from the blocking position, a dark mass in the night, rustling through the sparse shrubbery of the hillside
>It doesn't take long for the Chinese to respond to the movement with a hail of bullets
>A few men in front of you fall as bullets slice into them
>Some men take potshots towards the enemy-controlled Outposts as they run
>The ones who are armed with automatic weapons try to lay down some suppressive fire
>A man running alongside you falls with a sharp cry as a bullet tears into his torso, his face contorting in pain
>Shit!
>You need to find cover, and fast!
>But there is none on the incline.
>Lifting your M14, you fire as you move up in the hopes that it'd make enemy soldiers think twice about poking their heads up to shoot you
>Just keep running. Just keep running
>The sound of small arms fire around you is deafening
>You don't think it'll ever end
>But over it you can hear explosions beginning to land nearby
>Mortars!
>One lands to the right of you, engulfing at least 5 men in flames
"No!" you shout over their pained screams
>You jump into a recent crater for cover and quickly reload your M14
>Poking your head up, you fire a couple rounds before ducking again as enemy fire hits the dirt around you
>"Fall back!" a voice shouts over the chaos
>"Fall back!"
>"Retreat!"

>>30646996
>No time to waste.
>Kicking off from the floor of the crater, you rush back towards the blocking position
>It's a race to reach the somewhat safe position before death can catch up.
>Just keep running.
>Don't look back.
>"Help!" a voice cries from the ground
>"Help me, please!"
>The pure fear in his voice is enough to make you look around for where it's coming from
>Scanning the area as you run, you see the source of the voice
>It's a wounded Marine lying amongst a couple dead bodies, waving his hand to grab anybody's attention
>It's hard to see him in the dead of night
>You probably wouldn't have if he hadn't raised his hand
>With bullets landing in the dirt at your heels, you sprint towards him to help
>Once you get closer you can see that theres more than one bullet hole in his chest
>After slinging your rifle over your shoulder you hook your arms under his armpits and drag him backwards towards safety
>"Oh thank God! You saved me!"
"Don't thank me yet!"

>>30647004
>Other Marines run by you as you drag your comrade back towards safety
>You mentally tune out the sound of the Marine repeatedly thanking you, choosing to focus on getting you both out of this alive instead
>Mortar Fire continues to barrage you and the other retreating forces
>Some are blown to bits by the explosions, while others are more fortunate
>And there are far too many close calls.
>The sound of small arms fire hadn't paused once since the charge began
>You wouldn't last much longer out here
>And neither would any other soldier
>After what seems like an eternity of slow retreating and a hailfire of bullets, you finally near the relative safety of the blocking position
>"Hurry soldier, come on!"
"Hey!" you shout backwards. "We got wounded over here!"
>A cluster of soldiers holding first aid and treating other wounded respond by motioning for you to go to them
>You drag your wounded comrade to them and lay him out flat for them
>A few kneel down next to him, and you follow suit
>His breaths are coming short and raggedy
>And in the soft moonlight, you can see that he's pale.
>Deathly pale.
"Stay with me buddy! You're gonna make it through this!"
>But even as the words left your mouth, you knew.
>He was already gone.

>>30647007
>You took part in 2 other offensives that night.
>All within an hour.
>They were all as effective as the first one was
>Which is to say, not at all
>And each one ended the same way
>With the attacking Marines being forced back by mortars and small-arms
>Each time was as horrific as the first
>But somehow, you made it back.
>You were throughouly shell-shocked by the end of it all, but at least you were alive
>It was announced that the third charge would be the last for now, and that casualties were high
>People were guessing that there were at least one hundred Marines dead.
>It's almost 3am when you're sent back to Outpost Carson
>Some soldiers stay to safeguard Reno Block, while others return with you
>Reckless is happy to see you once you return
>"You're alive! Err, I m-mean, I knew you'd be fine Anon."
>Even after your recent awful experience, you can't help but smile at her futile attempt to hide how much she cared about you
"Eeyup. I'm alright.."
>Your smile fades.
"But I can't say the same for a lot of other Marines."
>Reckless's ears droop
>"I figured as much.." she says
>The Gunnery Sergeant from earlier walks up to you two
>"Get some rest, both of you. We need Reckless ready by dawn as an ammo carrier. We cannot afford to lose here, so we need our boys as well supplied as possible."
>Better ammo-carrying than futile assaults, you guess
"Yes, Sir!" you say before sitting down next to Reckless
>This was gonna be a long day.

>>30647015
>The sun just barely begins to poke over the horizon, shining a dim light on the hills of the area
>You're getting Reckless ready for a long day of ammunition hauling
>You didn't get much sleep in the few hours you had to rest
>But that was OK.
>Because you had a feeling that the man you failed to save last night would probably be paying you a visit in your next dream..
>You try not to think about it
>Don't think like that.
>There was nothing you could've done.
>After strapping various recoilless rifle shells to Reckless, and putting a few of them in your own backpack, you're ready to start things off
>You're mostly carrying these to the Recoilless Rifle Platoon as they fired down onto the enemy Chinese
>Each trip takes about 20 minutes, walking up and down the winding trail of the hillside
>Reckless has the trail memorized after just a few trips
>Up and down, up and down..
>The Recoilless Rifle Platoon is grateful for your help in keeping them supplied
"Kill as many Red Chinese bastards as you can with these." you say during one trip
>"Consider it done." a member of the gun crew replies with a tired grin

>>30647019
>And so the cycle went on
>Until one time, on the trip to deliver more ammo, something catches you by surprise
>About halfway there you encounter a roadblock
>A tipped-over tree blocking the trail
>This certainly wasn't here before.
>And there's a small crater by where the base of the tree would have been
"What? When did this happe-"
>Suddenly over the background noise of far-out small arms fire you hear a barrage of louder bangs
>And the sound of splinters shooting off the tipped tree as bullets slam in to them
>Uh oh.
"Get down!" you shout, vaulting over the tree to take cover
>Reckless takes a few splinters as she jumps over the fallen tree herself
>"Shit!" she screams angrily. "What do we do?"
>Unslinging your rifle, you quickly poke over the tree to fire a few shots at the Chinese ambush
>You try to see how many there were before ducking back down but there's no way to know for sure
>All you know is that there's a lot of them.
>Damn it..
"Go!" you yell at Reckless
>"W-what!?"
"GO! The gun crews need this ammo!"
>Several more bullets slam into the tree and fly overhead
>"B-but what about you?" she cries desperately
"I'll keep them busy, Reckless, just GO!"
>She looks into your eyes
>You can see sadness and regret welling up in hers.
>She closes them before quickly giving you a surprise kiss
>Before you can say anything she pulls back and takes off along the trail
>The date is March 27th, 1953.
>This is the date when Sergeant Reckless became Marine legend by making 51 supply trips in one day
>But for you, Lance Corporal Anonymous, outcomes are looking very different..

>>30647029
>With a deep breath, you bring your rifle back up onto the log
>Time seems to slow down as you take aim at the many Chinese troops moving up to overtake you.
>Each time you pull the trigger another soldier falls with a pained scream
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
>One after the other the advancing soldiers collapse as your bullets strike them
>Enemy bullets miss you by a hair, or hit the tree you're using as cover
>But eventually one finds it's mark.
>You let out a short yelp as one of their rounds digs itself into your left arm
>The enemy Chinese are angrily shouting to eachother
>"Shāle tā!"
>"Yǐjīng dédào tāle!"
>You can't shoot a rifle with only one hand
>So you stand and drop your M14 to reach for your Grease Gun
>After drawing it and taking aim, you let loose a storm of bullets onto the advancing ambushers
>The RATATAT of your little submachine gun fills your ears, drowning out the cries of your attackers
>The number of bodies on the trail in front of you grows as you hold down the trigger
>But all too soon you hear the CLICK! of an empty gun.
>It doesn't take long after that for two more enemy bullets to find new homes in your chest.
>The force of the impact sends you back down to one knee with another shout of pain
>In a final act of desperation you draw your Colt M1911, remembering how it helped you last time you were injured all those weeks ago
BANG! BANG!
>You fire off as many aimed rounds as you can while enemy shots slice through you
BANG! BANG!
>You fire off a few more, but
>A man can only take so much.
>As you loose off your last round a multitude of bullets punch through you

>You're dead before you even hit the ground.

>"S-stupid Lance Corporal!" Reckless mutters to herself as she runs
>"W-what was he thinking, staying behind like that!?"

>Reckless is forced to take a different supply route coming back down so as to avoid another ambush

>She's tired from all the work today

>As she walks she maintains the little glint of hope that maybe, somehow, she wouldn't find you lying there
>That maybe you managed to slip away, or escape
>Or somehow not die.
>But as she reaches the site and sees your body, that hope diminishes completely.
>There you lie
>On the trail in a puddle of blood, with your guns and spent shell casings surrounding gun
>On the other side of the tree she sees the many bodies of the enemy men you held off, but she doesn't care about those

Bless you!

>Reckless's entry into the United States was not without its challenges. The Customs Bureau was not much of a problem but the United States Department of Agriculture insisted a medical check and lab tests be completed before she disembarked from the ship once it reached San Francisco, which would make her late for the Marine banquet where she was to be the guest of honor. The Marines contacted Agriculture Department officials in Washington, D.C. who agreed to allow her off the ship after her blood was drawn for lab tests, with the understanding that if she had glanders or dourine, she would be destroyed or sent back to Japan. Many of the Marines who actually knew her were incensed at what they considered an affront to her honor when they learned that dourine was an equine sexually transmitted disease.[35]

Any drawfriends about? I think this would be pretty hilarious as a little comic, with Reckless being the one getting pissed off about the delays and the implications of the tests.

Napoleon wasn't short. That was the result of a miscommunication/mistranslation from one set of measurement units to another in two different languages.

He was actually quite tall for his time.

Do you suppose Nelson would be jealous? Or maybe he was humble and let his work speak for itself. Since he was Washington's horse, I'd suppose the latter.

>Latin for Swift or Full Gallop
>stable made of marble
>trough made of ivory
>regal purple blankets
>collar set with precious stones
>had servants that fed him oats with gold flakes mixed in

Caligula even mused about making him a consul. "One suggestion is that the treatment of Incitatus by Caligula was an elaborate prank, intended to ridicule and provoke the senate, rather than a sign of insanity, or perhaps a form of satire, with the implication that a horse could perform a senator's duties."

What a fucking troll.

Yeah. I could see all these waronies sharing gritty war stories and then this cuck would swan in and start bragging about how HE was once thought of as the leader of the known world.

I bet, like most roman patricians he would be a raging bisexual and start hitting on all the ponies, mainly Bacephalus because he would have the highest social stamding of all of them.

>>30652492
>I could see all these waronies sharing gritty war stories
That would be cool.
Some Anons in the Sgt. Reckless threads were throwing around the idea of Equestria being Valhalla for hoers.

>>30652523

They'd hate it.

Equestria follows NO horse rules at all.

No real hierachy.
No harems.
The only emotional response that is remotely accurate is poners run off when anything scary happens.

Horses would fucking hate it there since it'd be like being around humans that don't actively understand horses and treat them like people.

>>30652608

I can't believe that any sufficiently intelligent warpone would start a military campaign without investing intel into checking out the enemy forces' capacities first.

There's NO WAY they'd charge alicorns without a full understanding and appreciation for what they could do.

It'd be more like:

>hatch plans of conquest
>pool resources and funding
>hire spy to report back capabilities of Canterlotians
>reports back "there are four who are basically omnipotent gods of creation."
>plans of conquest end.

>>30652812
Fair point. I suppose it'd be a more foolhardy horse that'd try that.

>>30652890
I can definitely see Caligula's horse trying it. Or maybe some other charismatic /his/pone that could rally the others

>>30651941
>>30652051
I believe after the revolution Nelson retired to Mount Vernon with Washington while Blueskin was returned to his original owner a few years later with Washingtons thanks. It seems Nelson was Washington's favorite, and it was Nelson who accompanied him to accept Lord Cornwallis surrender. So I wouldn't feel too bad for him.

Blueskin was a half-Arabian whos father was reported to have been owned by the sultan of Morocco. I could easily see him being a large ham.

>>30652812

>omnipotent
>alicorns
>they've lost literally EVERY fight they've been in aside from Discord in a flashback

Nah. They are shit. Alicorns are arrogant to a fault and sent fucking Discord, of all people, to go and capture him instead of doing it themselves or sending the royal guard when Tirek couldn't actually handle ponies without sneak attacks.

Glimglam proved that Alicorns aren't all powerful and prone to being fucked over and the greatest casters have all been Unicorns.

I'm pretty sure the Warpones who are grand strategists would just trap them via a sneak attack. The real issue is that you have to deal with the Elements of Harmony returning since they are the defacto I WIN button.

You do realise that the comic is it's own official story and brand, right? Down to them treating everything differently and having a totally different tone, theme and canon. The comic is clearly aimed at older readers and the jokes in it make that clear without being outright offensive if a child DOES read them.

Considering the history of the Pegasus the warpones might want to recruit them in their Noble fight against the Canterlot (unicorn) elite.

While we're talking American Revolutionary horses I thought I'd mention Brown Beauty, The horse From Paul Revere's famous Midnight Ride. Interestingly she did not belong to Revere and was just on loan to him from another patriot. At the end of the ride, she was confiscated by a British patrol and there is no record of what happened to her after that.

Personally I don't consider revolvers a great option as a carry gun or HD gun, so they're purely fun and aesthetic guns.

Keeping that in mind, the 1860 army holds a special place in my heart. The fact that it basically has a reloading press built right into the gun is neat as fuck.

>>30658786
I live in an urbanized area lacking places to shoot that aren't indoor pistol ranges, which frown on blackpowder. Otherwise I've been wanting a Remington 1858 clone for years. Lots of these old blackpowder designs had a bullet-seating lever built in under the barrel, yeah.

I can actually see a largish fullsize 4" to 6" revolver in a decently potent caliber being a valid choice for home defense or uniform carry. .357 Mag is as good a cartridge as it ever was and had a fearsome reputation as a manstopper for a reason:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJk_YHO6hDk

And most defensive uses of firearms end one way or the other with three shots or fewer being fired, unless we're talking about poorly-trained civil servants who close their eyes and yank on the trigger over and over until the slide locks back.

I will say that if your purpose is concealed carry, there is very little difference ballistically between .38 Special and .380, and the semiauto pistols using the latter round will be thinner and flatter than any revolver, as well as holding more rounds (the tiny Kahr .380 that's my EDC holds 7+1, compare 5 for J-frames), have better triggers that make them easier to shoot well under stress in a hurry, and reload much faster in the unlikely event that it proves necessary.

I own a 4" GP100 in .357 and would not have any issues using it as a secondary HD weapon (primary is a Romanian AK loaded with 8M3, with a Bushnell red dot on an RS Regulate mount, currently--everybody's using a long gun as primary because long guns are for fighting and handguns are emergency backup weapons, right?). That having been said I'm currently using an M&P .40 with the new green recoil spring and an Apex flat trigger in the sidearm role. I shoot it well and while I know, intellectually, that it doesn't much happen in the real world that there is a need for it, there is something comforting about having sixteen rounds of .40 Gold Dots on tap plus fifteen more in a spare mag.

>>30659093
You have to consider that training can go right out the window when you're in a situation as stressful as a defensive shooting, your fine motor skills get fucked, your heart goes crazy and your hands shake, your vision gets fucked.
Having a 10-15 round capacity in that situation where you can get away with missing a few shots or not hitting any vitals can go a long way.

Of course training is still important so you're not just magdumping into the air but I'm just saying your average carrier doesn't really train with severe adrenaline rushes in mind, so any advantage you can get is a good one.

Basically, don't gamble with your life, anything you can have that boosts your chances of making it out of a lethal situation is good to have.

>>30659506
That's true, but there is something to be said for going to the range more than once a year to fire 50 rounds to re-qual on a course that could be passed with five minutes familiarization by anyone whose daily attire doesn't include dark glasses and a white cane, too. Not that the current Big Army qual course is any better; shooting at the enormous, door-sized Type E silhouettes, mostly at 50 feet or less, and scoring them hit/miss only without even scoring rings to reward center-mass hits, seems to me to be a bit silly.

Prior to Obama's election and the subsequent .22 LR shortage, I was shooting 1000-1500 rounds a week through a beat-up old Ruger 22/45 target pistol that I still have, though I do most of my training with a stainless Mk. III now (how may cops fire a thousand rounds in an entire career? That's twenty years of once-a-year fifty-round quals). Smallbore pistol happens to be a hobby of mine--and I am very, very, very far from the most determined or devoted hobbyist out there.

It isn't really easy, nor especially safe, to simulate an adrenaline dump. I've heard of people going to a range with a buddy who sets off a string of firecrackers on the floor behind them and yells at them and shoves them while they're shooting. This tends to get them thrown out and banned from the premises.

I've shot a little competition, which is supposed to be helpful--if you're the sort of hypercompetitive individual whose heart races at the thought of getting a little brass trophy to put above the fireplace. I don't worry about that. I'm not good enough to be in the running for the prizes, though I place in the top half a little more often than not. So I concentrate on concentrating on the front sight, on my grip, on my stance, on trigger control and follow-through. I want to be able to do these things automatically, without thinking about them. I have not yet had to fight for my life with a pistol, and hope I never do, so I can't tell you how well it works.

>>30660112
Shooting while exhausted might help simulate a stressful situation, a five to ten minute fast sprint with your holster on to the target. Though that kinda requires going innawoods to shoot.

Really, not much you can do to prepare for a legit shooting situation outside of just have the fundamentals down to muscle memory and hope you've beaten your skills hard enough into your brain that when the moment comes you'll do everything right.

Tell me about it. I just want to see them Royal Guards get to be badass once.

>>30674183
I'd like to see Celestia win a fight just once, so I understand.

>His skeleton is on display in Britain, but his hide and one of his hooves are missing
kek, I wonder what the ponies' reaction to that would be.

Oh, don't get me wrong. I'm a sunfag too. I was just going with the thread's theme.

>Then, wondering what happened to the hoof and hide, like everyone else

>>30675022
Hide probably rotted away

>>30675915
Well, if it were preserved, it could've lasted quite a while. I doubt it was though...

>>30671394
>>Laili blushes, flutters her eyelashes, and politely asks the stallions not to fight over her.
>>in a tone that makes it very clear she wants them to continue fighting over her.
Kek. Nice way to spin her character.

They seemed to do pretty well against Sombra's gas mask mooks in the crystal war timeline.

I found Reckless distant slav relatives

>>30679012
What would their names be?

>>30675915
Nah, it got lost, just like one of the hooves. If they still had it, they'd have been able to preserve it.

>>30679012
Are they literally related?

>>30679012
man, they are qts

>>30677246
It bothers me how much they slow down.

Umm, horses don't wear clothes. When you drive by a farm IRL and see horses outside, you see their pussy. When you see a dog being walked outside and it's raising its tail to let another sniff its butt, you see its asshole. Not sure where all of this resentment towards commonly witnessed natural animal body parts is coming from---but its almost like you don't go outside and are afraid typical anatomy

>>30683303
It's almost like you don't understand the mods hate fun and will ban you for posting porn.

>>30683303
You know this is a blue board right?
We don't care, the mods do.

Marengo seducing Rarity when? Or vice versa.

>>30685196

>>30686748
We need green of Reckless being reincarnated to save the slavs

>>30686457
I just realized I could have included Copenhagen as a highly competent war horse who can't take part in the battle because "it's tea time" and who speaks in incomprehensible RAF banter.
