If you're gonna join the military choose an MOS that has real life career attributes, Intel/radiation/uranium specialist, etc... don't be the normie who goes infantry, or go an officer route.  In the US, the Naval Academy produced the 2nd highest salaries after graduation, beating all the averages of every Ivy League, same for West Point

Actually enjoyed the single player, especially the d day mission, the story was meh but missions were still fun.  Although I could understand why people other than Americans in particular might not like the story lol (that stealth mission with the Frenchie)

A few years ago, when I was thinking of joining the Army instead, they had so many radiological and nuclear specialist MOS roles available, damned if I actually followed through on that (and you need atleast a 90 on ASVAB I'm pretty sure to be considered for them)

But military is prepared, although certain readiness tests didn't have expected results, but I'm sure they are actively making sure all defense systems and capabilities are up to date.  Actually there was a documentary on all this, on history channel or something

The US Army I believe is looking into reintroducing the 7.62 round as a standard issue round for the grunts.
Seems like they're falling back into time with that... there were, and still are, good reasons to switch to 5.56.

The problem the US army has is that they don't really have a weapons on the squad that quite gets the job done at 600 metres...
It is strange because no other military seems to have a problem as bad as that... Or willing to change to combat it, perhaps.

Question for people who know this, is the M240 still a crew-served weapon that is carried by a squad? or is that just the M249?
We already use the M4 Carbines and M16s 5.56, haven't heard about switching to 7.62 (Idk why we would).  M240's atleast in the Air Force are on our UH-1s, I know the M249 is def squad carried, but I've heard that marines are replacing it with M27's

So can helicopters...
Pf, who needs heli when you have a vintage animals in use  ::)
Lol a M61 Vulcan shredding vintage cavalry would be a glorious sight

Toffee you realize 93 people die by guns on average every day in the US? Should we be forgetting about the majority of them being innocent people as well? Mass shooting occur once a year on average, yes it is an issue but when you look at it from an utopian point of view thousands of people are dying from gun violence (including kids).  It's important to address that first, and the solution is not taking away guns, but again addressing the societal and economic situations which foster that sort of gun culture (as the CDC and Justice studies both validate occur in predominately African American poverished inner cities )

It's more than that if you are looking at the circumstances of a majority of these gun related crimes.  Most happen in inner cities, by African American males.  Have to look at the societal and economic environment of those environments as it has a direct impact on gun crime stats, growing up in an environment where poverty is high, access to drugs/gun is also high, poor education... it's no where comparable to Switzerland

Right so you don't have any actual evidence. A quick google search brings up results telling me that the majority of mass shooters obtained their firearms legally.

You're correct, I sadly do not have any documentation on the exact number of illicit firearms coming from Mexico into the United States. In case you didn't know, illegal firearms are not registered. And now it seems we've switched from the majority of gun criminals to mass shooters. Nice.


Poland and other ex-Communist Block countries are a haven for illegal weapons. Pretty much the entirety of Dutch organized crime is armed with AKs. So actually, yes, there are.

There's a clear-cut difference between old weapons being circulated like in formerly communist countries, and weapons being produced in addition to being circulated like in countries south of North America.

As for the Netherlands:


So as I thought, not nearly comparable to the scale amount of illicit firearms in the US.

Of course you don't have evidence, so what is the basis of your claim. My point is that the majority of shooter's firearms are bought legally in the USA. This was always a conversation about mass shooters as that is the entire reason for the calls for gun control in the USA. Have you not been reading the news since forever?
In crime ridden cities, its the opposite.  That's what should be looked at more than the occasional mass shooter, considering how many people die in inner cities due to gun violence.  Take a look at this study: https://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/htus8008.pdf
Majority of incarcerated felons charged with homicide with a gun involved got them illegally, either through social media or other connections.

Because if they compromise on this they can use it as leverage against gun control advocates for years to come.

 bump stocks are selling like crazy now.  Pretty sure most distributors are already sold out

But for real, it's just like with Trump, media only points out his 'outbursts', never his good side.

What the balls, you can't compare legalization of weed to terrorism in any way, that's apples and oranges lmao
