Oh horsepower I feel dumb

2019-10-08 06:59:59 UTC  

Lol

2019-10-08 07:00:01 UTC  

Yea

2019-10-08 07:00:06 UTC

When you have Vietnam flashbacks on the construction site

This is a reminder of how firearm technology has increased or stagnated?

2019-10-08 10:00:24 UTC  

Stagnation, I think

2019-10-08 10:00:37 UTC  

Yeah probably

2019-10-08 10:02:39 UTC  

Wasn't the last time a country put out a weapon trial was the OICW program? They got a cool grenade launcher out of that, but they cancelled the associated assault rifle.

2019-10-08 10:04:19 UTC  

I haven't kept up with that sort of thing

2019-10-08 10:50:05 UTC  

when a weapon works well, im not sure i see the need it altering too much

2019-10-08 11:08:32 UTC  

We've been arguing whether the M16 actually works well since we introduced it

2019-10-08 11:11:32 UTC  

hmmm

2019-10-08 11:11:36 UTC  

no comment

2019-10-08 11:11:47 UTC  

It didn’t originally when we used to Nam

2019-10-08 11:11:52 UTC  

As with anything

2019-10-08 11:11:59 UTC  

It works well with maintenance

2019-10-08 11:12:07 UTC  

The soldiers thought it was self cleaning

2019-10-08 11:12:09 UTC  

I still much prefer the M4 though

2019-10-08 11:12:21 UTC  

Yeah, Mattel

2019-10-08 11:12:23 UTC  

Lol

2019-10-08 11:12:33 UTC  

I think changing to the M4 and not changing the ammo for such a long time created its own set of problems

2019-10-08 11:12:37 UTC  

was it really suitable for the evironments of vietnam?

2019-10-08 11:13:16 UTC  

Probably not they were fighting people with aks

2019-10-08 11:13:23 UTC  

It's still suitable in Philippine environments, so... I'll have to go with yes

2019-10-08 11:13:38 UTC  

Let me rephrase

2019-10-08 11:13:49 UTC  

We didn’t give our soldiers a good hand going into that conflict

2019-10-08 11:14:00 UTC  

Bad tactics and policy fucked Vietnam

2019-10-08 11:14:03 UTC  

Not the tooks

2019-10-08 11:14:08 UTC  

Tools*

2019-10-08 11:14:22 UTC  

True but having good tools does help

2019-10-08 11:14:24 UTC  

fair enough

2019-10-08 11:14:30 UTC  

The Jews beat AK's with fucken submachine guns ffs

2019-10-08 11:14:34 UTC  

I suppose the more relevant argument today isn't the M16/M4 itself, but rather the choice of ammo

2019-10-08 11:14:35 UTC  

No, for sure

2019-10-08 11:15:12 UTC  

Is there a current list of contenders for the replacement cartridge?

2019-10-08 11:15:19 UTC  

But I don't think the idea of "the M16 is a shit gun" explains away the fact that they weren't cared for properly
