  1. Nepotism is a thing. And when you have to lug around a gun you'll never use all day everyday, people get lazy.

  2. Yeah, usually the army just orders custom variants of existing arms and gets a discount on manufacturing. Unless you're a sniper or special forces the army doesn't trust you to modify your own weapon

  3. And it produces not one but two assistant gunners to feed the bullets in.

  4. You shoukd have released this at Christmas just for the Die Hard reference

  5. I think the originals all had wooden stocks but they later started making folding/removeable stocks

  6. ​ @bhief473  You mean Sig's? They fixed the malfunction years ago

  7. Väinämöinen called, he wants the Sampo back!

  8. It appeared in Call of Duty. That's the deciding factor

  9. Is it weird the gangs figured out medium-caliber semi-auto carbines were the way to go before every Army on Earth did?

  10. I wouldn't have bought the pistol if it had a trigger safety

  11. Shh. The Sardinians don't like being called that.

  12. The Chinese had the tools and competency to copy Russian equipment. With these you can see many of the markings are hand-done and at least some key parts were fraudulently re-labled "Made in Iraq."

  13. I don't remember a time when people weren't saying that

  14. Back when I was a shuttle driver for the railroad we drove past some train cars casually piled on the ground. The rail guys said it was actually cheaper to bring in a welder to cut up the cars for spare parts than it was to get a crain and put the cars on the tracks

  15. ​@manender1020 it's not a matter of what is right, but what is advertiser friendly what an algorithm can detect

  16. That's a Russian thing

  17. To be frank, it doesn't matter what the machining is like since half of the Iraqi soldiers didn't know how to shoot and the other half surrender/flee without a shot fired

  18. The Pentagon just loves buzzwords. One year everything had to be modular, next year everything is next-gen....

  19.  @Tunkkis  The Soviets especially. Since they were Communists every part in the supply chain was a headache for managers as there were no open markets. Also, Russia is full of remote places where replacement parts may take ages to arrive. That's why Ian had to point out the sniper rifle was unusual that it had no shared parts with standard AKs.

  20. Why you so angry with them? This issue was resolved years ago and they did a recall.

  21. That's a thing in China too. T-shirts with gibberish latin characters.

  22.  @bishopsteiner7134  I guarantee you all the guys condescending on cops on this thread both can't shoot well and have criminal records.

  24. You don't have enough stopping power unless you risk breaking a recruit's shoulder

  25. This is the most aggressively Croat gun I have ever seen......

  26. ​ @dartdukii  You should have been permabanned from this side of eternity.

  27. No, that's not monitizable. Explosives guys around here include disclaimers that they are licensed to handle explosives but they can be demonitized at any time.

  28. Sardinians don't like being called that

  29. @lucacali8423  the joke is because the king of Sardinia unified Italy.

  30. Voice of experience. If you want a custom gun, order it from the manufacturer. It's not any more expensive than ordering parts yourself and there's less work on your part.

  31. Bias? He deliberately avoids politics.

  32. Judging by where/when it's from, you may be holding a gun that forces loyal to Chiang Kai-Shek in the Battle of Shanghai during the Japanese invasion of 1937.

  33. Because he ain't into politics. He's the industry professional

  34. Why so serious?

  35. The Muslims discriminate where they get their medical supplies, not their guns. One Yemeni Mukhtar fighting the Egyptians just told everyone the airdrops were gifts from God, like manna from heaven.

  36. What you talking about? Israel "Talik" Tal is Tank Jesus.

  37. There was no rifling, the inside of the tube spiraled. As the bullet was forced through the barrel it would impart spin.

  38. The Papal States weren't dissolved, but shrunk down to just the Vatican. That's why it's officially a sovereign state

  39. If only they had 400 more guns. Then it'd be OVER 9000!

  40. This is how people say "tank you" in Finland.

  41. I'm pretty sure that's the unspoken reality of being an army ranger...

  42. They should have known without even trying that ball barrings are too expensive and high maintenance for this to sell even it was a significant performance boost

  43. Anyone else thought the thumbnail showed a normal pistol and a giant pistol?

  44.  @mbryson2899  cops aren't any more likely to fight people than anyone else. Just imagine lugging that thing around everyday for years.

  45.  @DrewElGringasho  Literally no one believes you, scrub. Don't make claims on the internet that are unproveable

  46.  @Sig_P229  to be fair, that's why we have academies

  47.  @rollastudent  Fun is in the hunt, not the assembly.

  48. "I'll just fire a warning shot at his feet." "But it's a grenade launcher." "Same difference."

  49.    just imagine: tank Jesus riding the iron chariot into Philistine city of Gaza!
