I’ve been thinking and I was curious about the differances for woman who serve. I know that woman can’t fly planes or operate machine guns right? If a woman was to join the national guard right now lets say…would she have to go to iraq right away and what types of jobs would they offer her in the guard or military for that matter?
do woman have as great a chance of death in the military or do they get jobs that aren’t as great a risk of being killed?
if any woman in the military now or who have been can give me an honest answer.
also what was the experience like..? did you like it? or was it the worst mistake you ever made?
in the south-west United States like they do in Mexico. They practically have their own military complete with machine guns and rocket launchers
The more advanced our rifles, shotguns, and machine guns get the less reliable and more likely to jam they become. I’d rather have a Winchester 1873 or a Model 1887 Shotgun than a M-16/M-4. At least my gun won’t jam every few magazines or if a piece of dust gets into the gun. Don’t even get me started on Semi Auto Shotguns. The M60 isn’t exactly reliable either. The ironic thing is, the fancier your gizmos get, the less reliable and prone to failure they become. Plastic guns (like the plastic cars) of today cannot ever hope to live up to the legacy as the weapons that won the west.

Did I say anything about COD? Nice try getting out of the fact modern guns are unreliable pieces of crap. Oh, and by the way, I’m pretty sure the outside of an M-16 is plastic. It looks pretty plastic like to me.
Also I never said anything bad about the AK. It is still far better than our weapons. It’s a prime example of NOT JAMMING.
The article said "machine guns" but im not totally sure what that means. I would guess that means automatic, but in some places, guessing gets you killed…. I’m not looking to get mine just yet, as i need to do more research before i commit on doing anything. I am a gun enthusiast (as im sure im not alone :^) and would just like to get filled in on this subject matter. Thanks for any replies!
Like something with the history, how it’s made, internal/take down view, ect… Just a bunch of information about rifles, pistols, machine guns, ect… I’m mostly interested about guns during the WWII time period, but something that had all guns (military especially) would be great.
I’ve played enough "Call of Duty" and "Medal of Honor" to familiarize myself with a few of the sniper rifles of World War II. But could any of those sniper rifles have been fitted with silencers back then?
I read that the Nazis had silencers for certain types of machine guns. But what about the sniper rifles?
Even if it wasn’t practical to use in combat situations, was it possible? Did silencers for sniper rifles exist in the 40s? Even if it were just for state-side civilian or police use?
Any details would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
What exactly is a "grease gun"? Was that something they would’ve had back in the 1940s?
I’ll rank them from least combat effective to most and you just draw the line or voice your opinion. I’m looking to get a concensus of see what people think on this. Preferably draw the line between two weapon types. I’ve left the list BROAD. Don’t take it as a joke please.
no weapons should be legal for the US military to own, Bottle Rockets, BB guns, Bow & arrows, medeival throwing devices like catapults and trebuchets, low powered rifles(22), shotguns, semi-automatic handguns, high powered hunting rifles, sub-machine guns, assualt rifles/sniper rifles, machine guns, hand grenades, RPG’s, combat vehicles like tanks, scud missiles, fighter jets, chemical and biolotical weapons, nuclear warheads, ultra small and powerful but not yet existent antimatter bombs, or there should be no laws against US military possession of weapons…
You may also argue that I have them in the wrong order if your line can’t be drawn.
I’ve always thought that the indigenous empires of the New World would have easily resisted European arrival with more advanced technology. I play with stick figures that i draw, one side in native, another is european, and the natives have machine guns. do you think that the Europeans would have easily succumbed if the Natives had modern technology?
Rifles like M16 and AK47s and sniper rifles?
Sub-machine guns such as MP5s and machine guns?
