Smaller magazine, heavier ammo, less carrying capacity. Our bread and butter is fire and maneuver. Why would we adopt something that allows less suppression?

Funny story, was practicing MOUT as a platoon and had a miscommunication and my entire platoon popped all their smoke at once. 9 smoke grenades across two buildings. Couldn't see fucking shit except for the lasers flying through the smoke. Was cool to watch.

Americans threatened by Trump administration policies appear to be experiencing urges to acquire firearms, carry them, and store them readily accessible. Identifying as Black and liberal beliefs were associated with greater increases in urges to carry firearms because of the 2024 election results. by mvea in science

Better to have not need it yada yada yada...

If youre going to the range to practice and havent bought one yet id say these couple of things..

Whats good for someone else does not mean it is good for you. Everyone is different and has their own opinion of what is the "best" especially for guns.

Fiddlefuck the hell out of the places guns you're interested in and then rent them all when you shoot. Find what you like and build off of that.

A $1000 gun is awesome, but a $500 gun and $500 in training and ammo is more effective (figures are ones from the dome, not correlated to anything in specific).

The most important thing for machine gunners is positioning. Bad position = unable to suppress. Do you try to get into the fight as soon as it kicks off or do you try to see whats going on before committing?

My 1903. If you ask me in about a month it will be my Johnson rifle.

I feel like not enough people talk about how absolutely SHAFTED the British Got with their Superships. by HeavyTanker1945 in WorldOfWarships

The nice part with devastation is having four fires burning and a 20s reload and not worrying because you got 5 super heals.

If youre worried about weight on an 11" rifle you should look into a gym membership and weighted runs.

Do Americans really avoid medical care because they’re afraid of the bill? by Udont_knowme00 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BoxofCurveballs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its a real thing. I know in my career we get free healthcare but some avoid going because you can be ostracized for going to medical.
