ghetto
we got 2ft of snow here last month
it all melted
in central AZ
We didn't have single nigger in arty when I was serving last year, there was 4 kebab rollers tho.
again I had no idea why they liked me so much. maybe because I wasn't condescending, but I also noted that southern blacks were nicer
but yeah being in his neighborhood was an experience
If I would move I would move to countryside as generally speaking they're way nicer places than urban areas.
yup agreed
you guys still use the Valmet as your service rifle?
Yup
great rifle
very hard to find in the US
We in arty used Rk62 and infantry uses RK95
I think you guys are one of the few modern countries still using 7.62x39 ammo
I know Russia still somewhat uses it, but they use 5.45mm now
mostly
Why did they switch to 5.45 mm?
less heavy, flatter shooting
proprietary
not 100% sure
I think there has been talks to change the ammo from the rainbow round to something else
Your most likely enemy would use LOADS of that.
well Finland has a history of bushwhacking people who invade so
#skipatrol
lol "bushwacking"
Remember that sniper who killed over one thousand people?
Russians did use 7.62x39 more in 1995 and I think they're probs going to change it to that or some NATO round (5.56x45 NATO perhaps?) with next gun design but for small nation it ain't so big priority to design new guns for every change
Simo Häyhä you mean?
Short guy, his career ended when he was captured after an exploding bullet to the face.
well just the Winter War in general
I don't remember if Häyhä was captured but he did get exploding bullet to the face right before end of the war
maneuver defense worked well
That guy was like a Hurricane Katrina with arms and legs.
lol
Tbh I don't know why arty in general uses rk62 and not something more compact that would be lighter and less in the way, something like vz.61 škorpion
who would win? a battalion of Russian Soldiers or an angry Finnish farmer with a bolt gun and a suomi sub-machinegun
