Hope you like not being able to apply all your force on thrusts, you mong.
>Way over exaggerated top of blade
Great job on fucking the balance up, gotta feel dead as shit in the hand.

If you can't tell this is sarcasm, then I feel bad for you.

To be fair, it's all about the short brown person wielding it.

>>50057562
I guess the Greeks were relatively brown, though mostly through being bronzed gods. But the same blade shape was used throughout Asia Minor, the Iberian, and other areas by much more brown people.

>You know elephants? Yeah, those animals that are liable to go on rampages every now and then, are triggered by loud noises and can only barely be trained? We're gonna use them for the inherently noisy and chaotic nature of war. I mean, what could go wrong?

You know military brass wanted to scarp the whole airforce in the 50s simply because 'advancements' in SAMs?

Yeah, Mediterranean peoples in general look much darker, but a huge part of that is their environment. Mediterranean peoples that live in either low-sunlight environments or in extremely hot ones (where going outside is just awful) they are about as pale as most non-Scandinavian Europeans.

Drones suck at actual fighting. They're great at observation and at shooting targets that can't shoot back, but their loss of sensory input to the pilot HUGELY limits their capabilities against piloted vehicles/targets capable of shooting back.

Fun fact: Because of this, some elephant riders were equipped with long, heavy iron nails and a hammer as a kill switch should the elephant get out of control on the wrong side of the battlefield.

It's just such a neat concept that I wonder why nobody has ever tried making a firing mechanism like it.

Besides the obvious flaws like: having to touch the barrel to ready it, the tiny rounds it fires, the blow-forward design making recoil worse, and the lack of a safety, could any /k/ inclined people tell me why nobody even considered making anything like it?

>>50059462
I have noticed that. There's a decently sized Greek immigrant community in a city near mine and all the descendants are as pale as I am.

Keep in mind that ethnicities in areas with high trade and shifting civilizations tend to jump around a lot over hundreds to thousands of years. Modern day countries are often poor barometers to what civilizations thousands of years ago would look like, ethnically.

>>50059747
Really only isolated populations show even a relative similarity to historical populations if we're going back far enough.
I don't know how far back that is, but it's far back enough.

>>50056907
Completely agree with you, OP.
I just looked up this things stats, apparently it's supposed to use a chemical propellant to launch its projectiles? The fuck kind of atomic-era fantasy setting is this piece of garbage from?

It still existed before that as the USAAF. It simply answered to the Army instead of their own General.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combination_gun

Actually not that uncommon in certain times and places, and fairly effective at giving you one gun that you can use to hunt a bunch of different things.

You also have stuff like the Lemat Revolver, which did reasonably well and was favored by a number of cavalry officers in the South, like Jeb Stuart and others. Clearly not as much as the hunting Combination guns, of which far many more of all kinds were made of course.

Your underbarrel grenade launchers are also widely used, and appreciated by those who have them.

Wait a minute, I don't understand. These are all real things that exist, why are you all acting like they don't?

Hold me, OP. I'm scared.
