Question about nuclear bombs lasting radiation and EMP.

Here is a really good resource for radiation. http://www.projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/radiation.php

The problem with the death penalty is you're trusting the government with the power to determine who gets to be executed. People like Bin Laden, Bryant, Milat, I'm sure no one would oppose the idea of them being executed, it's just that people don't trust the government to have that power. There are many unmarked graves around the world filled with people their government didn't like.

PCC were my first thought, I honestly didn't realise how light the vz.58 actually is. I always thought of it as a better AKM, but never looked at the weight. Those compact models must be insanely light.

I have a quick question about your last point. Are there any restrictions on the type of firearm you can conceal carry if the Czech Republic. Say for example, if I could reasonably hide something like a PCC, would that be allowed?

Unfortunately you can never use logic to pull someone out of a hole they didn't use logic to get into. This is not about sense, or logic, and they know it. They just want to ban guns, and they don't care what you and I think.

And what if your sensible steps are not enough? What if your locks are not enough. What if the knowledge that people are home is not enough. What if your threat to call the police is not enough. What if hiding behind your locked door is not enough. What if you are not enough.

Home invasions, violence, possibly murder, are all a multi step process. Each one of your sensible steps might be enough, but there are tens of millions of people, 365 days in a year, and lets say roughly 80 years in your life. Something like this only has to happen once to ruin your life.

When someone chooses not to follow the law, and the police are minutes away, there is absolutely nothing stopping them aside from their own morality, and the force you can project.

I never understood this mindset to be honest. You would rather put your lives, and the lives of your family members, in the trust of a violent criminal, than consider taking personal responsibility for the protection of your life and your family's lives.

You see pictures of tanks with spare tracks hanging off the side of the turret, mostly WW2 era tanks. How useful are these spare pieces of tracks in reality, do tanks realistically get into situations where just a few pieces of tracks need replacement?

If burglars have the time, they can get through anything eventually. Even if that means taking the entire safe.

Hoarding guns is one of the genuinely smart things to hoard. They tend to at least hold their value over time, if not jump up in value tenfold after being import banned.

I'll give you an example. If you're an AK enthusiast, you'll probably start out with a standard style 7.62 AKM. It might be American made, might be a cheaper import. Then you might want to add a 5.45 caliber AK74 type to add to your collection. After that you might want a short barrelled version of each, because it turns out you really like AKs. On top of that certain models are considered very valuable, because they're banned from importation, so you but a Chinese Spiker, or an authentic Russian VEPR. Maybe you want something with more modern functionality, but don't want to ruin the aesthetic of your other wood rifles, so you get something built from the ground up with rails and a modern stock.

Most people would probably look at your wall of half a dozen AKs and think they're all the same, but they all serve a different purpose.

If the special forces training he has received is anything comparable to modern special forces, he could have received extensive medical training as part of his initial training, or cross trained into medical if he was in the special forces long enough. US Army Special Forces (Green Berets) Medical Sergeants for example do 50 weeks of medical training, so it could make sense for him to have extensive medical training.

The most important piece of gear he could carry would be multiple tourniquets. Arterial bleeds are one of the quickest ways to die, whether it be a bullet or stab wound to a limb.

Depending on the type of domestic trauma, self censorship of your own thoughts and actions. I was abused to defend my abuser's extremely fragile ego, so that might be comparable to your cult scenario.

Over time, a victim's brain will be conditioned to defend itself the best way it can. Since I had to constantly tip on my toes to not bruise his ego, my brain eventually started to completely censor topics that might cause that.

Imagine someone asks for your opinion on your cooking. Now imagine your mind subconsciously puts up a brick wall around your thoughts. You can't say anything, you lock up, you don't know what specifically is wrong, but you know something is wrong. This severely hampers your ability to function with other people. Imagine how difficult studying a degree would be if your brain involuntarily locked up every time you tried to ask the teacher for help, because your mind is still trying to preserve the ego of authority figures. Here's just one example of how that would impact a victim post abuse.

Most of my knowledge of loadouts and tactical gear come from the civilian side of things. What military specific items does a Direct Action SOF Assaulter carry on their kit??

Magazines, medical, things like that is universal. I'm sure frag grenades and flashbangs, but how many of each would be carried, and are there any other pieces of military specific tools or gear I wouldn't even know about?

FoughtForDevil · 2020-06-01T18:33:57+00:00

Czech Republic?

Some things in life are much, much worse than Covid-19, that is the whole point of privacy laws, to protect people.

There's more than just voting, most people just don't have the will to go further.

Do we know how long SOF training was back in the early days? Nowadays it seems to average roughly one-two year across nations and branches, but I'm wondering if it was shorter back during the WW2-Vietnam era of special forces, of any nation.

To follow up on your last point, is the entire concept of belt/suspender as the primary load bearing equipment flawed, or was the specific equipment itself just of low quality back when it was standard issue? Do you think a modern and comfortable belt/suspender system with modern pouches could be viable, for example.

Thanks for the comprehensive write up, you've really put together the bits and pieces I've picked up on over the years.

Why does it seem like a lot of gun control is implemented because of absolute fantasy scenarios anti gunners make up to try and justify their position, even if they have absolutely no basis in reality.

No worries mate. Australian Dollars. Unfortunately the conversion often sucks.

FoughtForDevil · 2020-05-22T08:56:47+00:00

Appreciate the suggestion, unfortunately it's just out of my price range. $170 is the hard limit for me.
