So fun family story since it goes with cowboys and such.
My great great grandfather was a Federal Marshal in North Texas. I am actually from the line of his second wife who was an Indian in Indian Territory aka Oklahoma. Still have family there.
Well he and his wife were walking to town as the story goes. Now he was semi-retired at this point as he was around 65. But a marshal is always a marshal. While riding they saw a couple of men with some cattle. Now this was around 1889 or so I think 87 so fencing was not really a thing yet. Now brands were and my great great grandfather new one of the guys and also knew those cattle were not his brand. Now I am not sure all of you know but cattle rustling in this time is kind of a hang them now ask questions later offense.
So my grandfather tells his wife he is going to go talk to these men since he knows them or at least one of them. He rides up and starts talking to the man he knows. He asks them what he is doing with the cattle and where he is taking them. The guy apologizes and says he will take them back but the other man who my grandfather didn't know at this point freaks out and shoots my grandfather.
Now his wife was not happy about him going up there, they had 3 kids at this point(she was like 25). But that was the end of my great great grandfather though. The wound was fatal. So by doing the right thing and asking he got shot by a man he didn't know who was cattle rustling in Indian Territory.
Man is buried in an Indian grave yard. We found the grave stone about 8 years ago.
You keep the gun up and out of the water because if it gets wet it probably won't work anymore.
It can also substitute for "guy crawling under barbed wire", but you don't really run into "crawlable under barbed wire" in combat situations frequently.
Most guns will still fire if they get wet. Most guns will fire even if fired underwater. You'll eventually need to clean rust out of the barrel.
I thought the carbines/m16s were notorious for being shitty when wet?
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

How is it that I am able to pre-order this game for a $20 discount yet it has no release date and barely any information on it and yet supposedly it will ship on Oct 31 of this year
First, their members contributed more equally to the team’s discussions, rather than letting one or two people dominate the group.
Second, their members scored higher on a test called Reading the Mind in the Eyes, which measures how well people can read complex emotional states from images of faces with only the eyes visible.
Finally, teams with more women outperformed teams with more men. Indeed, it appeared that it was not “diversity” (having equal numbers of men and women) that mattered for a team’s intelligence, but simply having more women. This last effect, however, was partly explained by the fact that women, on average, were better at “mindreading” than men.
I said a guy was irritated when he was actually accusing. It said I was wrong so I became irritated with the test and accused it of being stupid garbage.
because of course there is a drill and a procedure for how to crawl
the kind of like, ranger spending three hours moving two kilometres to get into position unseen kind of crawling, was based on moving only your toes and fingers
the sergeant, bless her heart she tried a lot, had trouble adapting when we pointed out that we were all just on our bellies in the snow making four small holes and couldn't actually move anywhere without moving more than our hands and toes
so I spent quite some time there on my belly, thinking that a russian invasion would be such a hoot with this stellar outfit

@spacekungfuman , get your child LEGOS. Encourages creativity , technical skills, and it's super fun to do with him.
He loves blocks already. His favorite are the big mega blocks because they are the easiest for him to build with (he mostly builds very high towers and sometimes rocket ships that look like smaller towers but can apparently fly through space) but he also likes his duplo. He also has other types of blocks, but those are his favorites.

I'm speechless by the whole thing. That there is a woman taking pictures of school busses break lights to search for satanic symbols to be outraged about. That there is a network that considers this news. That they found someone on the street to interview that not only didn't fall down laughing at how stupid it is but actually agreed with the woman. That they actually went out to interview a wickan over the issue.

yeah, I got 29/36 and I think most of them that I missed were pretty dumb.
No, that guy was embarassed not guilty -- those totally aren't basically the same thing we promise

The first gen m16s were very bad at this
so we gave them to GI's in Vietnam in a stroke of brilliance

People who are guilty look at you. People who are embarrassed look away. I'm not saying it's true but it was easy to see what the test was telegraphing.

They don't like dirt. Most guns don't like dirt. As for the M-16's history of reliability, it has to do with the the combination of ammo selected and a lack of cleaning supplies. Basically it was designed to use special rounds that produced less fouling. Someone in procurement said fuck it, and bought the cheapest stuff which didn't meet the requirements. Since it was designed to be low maintenance, there was a lack of cleaning supplies sent to Vietnam. So you got lots of jams because it wasn't being maintained.

AKs are a glorious piece of engineering, really.
The only issue is ammo I would think.
Not awesome your predecessor for shot

Aren't they also notoriously inaccurate? Otherwise yes, they are an engineering marvel.
the sound of the AK is pretty distinctive so it was a "do I want a weapon that doesn't work, or do I want a weapon that'll get my shot by friendlies?"

Lots of guys also preferred to get old m14s too.
IIRC m14s still see some use it was such a good gun
