  1. ZGryphon Well on the one hand you had the various European powers actively conquering large chunks of Africa, and on the other hand you had the Americans who weren’t.

  2.  @FierceMouse  nah Europeans just let home intruders do whatever they want for some reason.

  3. Over a hundred thousands of black people fought as Union soldiers in the Civil War. Freedom wasn’t just given to blacks. It was earned.

  4. No people absolutely complained about them. The EBR was a stop gap measure quickly replaced by better rifles.

  6. It’s almost like it was made in someone garage or something.

  7. Raenir Salazar I like how you used Canada as an example, and then start spouting off crap that not even Canada does, such as banning rimless centerfire semi auto rifles, which you can get in many models in Canada. Comeback when you take your head out of your ass.

  8. He’s got a video on it Long sorry short, both forms are correct.

  9. Sometimes that’s how it just works out, but saying “I must kill what I hunt with a knife” is some of the dumbest and most inhumane things I’ve ever heard. Another shot is way more humane to the animal, and easier if the animal is still mobile than going Rambo with a knife.

  10. Don’t see what that has to do with the video.

  11. Yah governments tend to not accept self defense as a good reason to have an illegally made machine gun. Hell many governors don’t allow for self defense with a firearm at all. His point was better made than yours.

  12. Are you serious? This country is nowhere fucking close to a civil war.

  17. Thats not even close to what he’s talking about. Try again.

  18. Gurfi28 Foreign words tend to get butchered when they get adopted by another language, regardless of which language that is. Nothing special or specific to “ignorant Americans” about it, so get off your damn high horse.

  20. Ok?

  21. Les Nash So?

  22. Mr. Thompson literally designed his gun around a physical principle which doesn’t actually exist. And while cutting edge in the 1920’s, by WW2 it was an overly expensive and heavy smg.

  23. Glenn X Yah it was a great design in 1918. Not in 1941.

  24. Glenn X It was useable. So was every other firearm issued by the United State military, and every other morally on the face of the Planet. That’s not “good” means when we’re talking about firearms, especially in warfare. Fact remains that militaries around the world quickly replaced the Thompson when they got the first chance, be it for a gun that was lighter, cheaper, or better, or all three.

  25. Who were mostly Russians.

  26. GIGN seem to like weird guns sometimes.

  27. They’d probably be doing better if most of their militia knew how to use a gun before the war.

  28.  @1chish  the Ukrainians do in fact have militias . That’s who they where handing many of the guns out to. And the TDF is effectively a militia, especially the newer recruits near the front lines. As per usual you have no idea what youre talking about.

  29. That happened a lot in the Western USSR actually. Until the Germans started killing entire villages that is.

  30.  @egomania2792  glad you finally agree with me.

  31. WizardofAhhhs 75 Eh? They would have to be either extremely cheap or extremely powerful to really be useful enough over a budget bolt action rifle.

  32. A fine Murican If they weren’t serious about it I’d probably like it better.

  33. Don’t see anyone who said it was a weapon of war.

  34. Russia doesnt control the airspace, the Ukrainian Air Force is still flying and just revived more hets and parts to get more aircraft airborne. And no, the vast majority of the Ukrainian military is still in the fight. Now 25% if the Russian invasion force, which is most of their professional units is either dead or wounded.

  35.  @benmiland5245  It’s a Mauser 1889. Predates the M95. So who’s the knock off?

  36. John Simpson “Let that be a lesson to you” Jesus Christ dude calm down. Your passive aggressiveness makes you seem like some angry teenager and it’s frankly not a good look. Grow up.

  37.  @FIREBRAND38  How pathetic are you that you not can’t keep track of who you’re talking too but you also have to respond to a nearly one year old post? Get a life.

  38. Confederates where very short on resources , logistics, and industrial capabilities throughout the entire war.

  39. No offense Tacker but that’s the most brain dead mentally bankrupt statement I’ve read in a while.

  40. Hotwheels How eloquent and helpful for the pro-gun argument.

  41. Angry Mongorian That’s rich coming from someone whose user name is based off of stereotypes of Asians, specifically how they spoke. Did it ever cross your smooth brained mind that historical objects connected to conflicts considered important to a culture as a whole are more valuable than those that aren’t connected to those events? I automatically jump to it being an example of racism rather than historical interest says more about you and your character than it does about anyone else. Now grow up.

  42. Sander169 Every museum in Europe would be empty then.

  43. What the fuck kind of comparison is that buddy?

  44. No. Over 80% of Ukraine’s population are ethnic Ukrainians. Don’t mistake language with ethnicity.

  45. Please take your meds.

  46. “It’s a good way to reuse a weapon of war for entertainment and art” Cutting a rifle up doesn’t change the fact that it is still a rifle. And plenty of people find stock military weapons entertaining and beautiful themselves. And if anyone should keep their opinion to themselves, it should be you following your own principles.

  47.  @dougoneill7266  personal ownership of a gun is a requirement for basically every firearms club or shooting association. They don’t provide you guns nor are they capable of doing so. Frankly you’re just unrealistic.

  48. Triggering snowflakes such as yourself it seems.

  49. JackDaniels Sometimes it’s nice to look outside ones bubble. Hell most of the time we get accused of being to inward facing.

  50. Wilson Laidlaw Or more likely is that the Ethiopian government sold off a hunch of old guns that they don’t want anymore, similar to how the French sold off their MAS 36’s and 45’s, or the Russians and their Mosins. Look I get wheee you’re coming from, but here are old rifles that the Ethiopians who’ve bought in the thousands from foreign producers, and while its history, it’s not on the scale of say the things truly unique to Ethiopian culture and history such as religious iconography and art. If Ethiopian museums truly want this model of gun, they likely already have examples. And
