Originally posted by the man who put it in my hood why was he so obsessed with gattling guns though lol he wrote 3 books about them
some would call it an unhealthy SKITZO obsession and he should BE MORE SERIOUS STOP PLAYING WITH THOSE DANGEROUS WEPAONS
like oh my god did he even have a license???
others would call it
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rough_Riders
like these dudes basically just sounded like the bogaloo boys to me. The rough riders in a non war time modern world would probably be called a domestic terrorist organization
The rough riders didn't take San Juan Hill. Buffalo Soldiers took it. Furthermore Parker was not with the rough riders. He was part of a different regiment. -

Originally posted by the man who put it in my hood That's why "back then" you never had stuff like domestic terrorism or mass shootings because back then those people would probably be like this skitzo
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Henry_Parker_(general)During the assault on San Juan Heights, Lt. Parker and his men used three of their four Gatling guns to cover the American assaults on both San Juan Hill and Kettle Hill.[5][12] Equipped with swivel mountings that enabled the gunners to rake Spanish positions, the three fast-firing[13] guns, firing at a range of 600-800 yards, expended approximately 18,000 cal. .30 rounds in eight and one-half minutes (over 700 rounds per minute of continuous fire) into the Spanish defensive lines atop the heights, killing many of the defenders, forcing others to flee the trenchlines, while disrupting the aim of those still alive who continued to resist.[14]
Sounds like a sound stable leader and tactician to me. -

Originally posted by Cowboy2013 And as far as war, I would like to see how long people could go wearing those, carrying 200 rounds and a rifle.
Doesn't sound like you know much about the weight of rifles, AR500 plates, ammo.
A modern battle rifle is around 7 lbs, a 10"x12" AR500 plate weighs just under 8 lbs, 5.56x45mm NATO weighs about 11 grams per round. 200 rounds would weigh under 5 lbs. A 30 round PMAG or MAGPUL magazines weighs about 5 oz. Needing 7 to hold 200 rounds would be an additional 2.1 lbs.
Total weight with plates front and back would only be 30 lbs. 16 of which would well distributed by the load bearing features of the plate carrier, another 7.5 would be distributed by your sling, and the rest would in loaded mags distributed in cargo pockets.
Our full pack with rifle weighed 65 lbs. You didn't fight in full pack you marched in it. Up to 20 miles in a single day was common. Could I do that at 61? Of course not. But I promise if my life depends on I can still lump 30 pounds worn right all day and all night.
Just my every day carry setup weighs over 7 lbs or more if I carry the FK BRNO PSD instead of the FN 57. -

Originally posted by Jiggaboo_Johnson That's what happens when you social distance and the flu virus spreads by social interaction…duhhhhh. It's hard to pass it to someone else or catch it from someone else when you never leave the house.
So your saying the common flu can't jump six feet or fiy through the holes in a mask but covid can? -

Aldra says kevlar holds up though.
And with steel armor if you're actually wearing it like that bullet fragments will fly off and hit you in your neck and shit if it doesn't have some special coating. Idk if they started putting that on all of them.
There's also some level 4 armor that I think is a PE and aluminum combination. I forget how heavy they are.
If you can't lump 20 lbs bullets are not your biggest problem skippy. -
