If watching Ukraine war footage has taught me anything, it’s:
- Bring grenades, the more the better
- Anything worth blowing up, is worth blowing up at least 8 times.
- Everything is worth blowing up
- Finish them off by chucking an AT mine at them
This meme (motivational poster?) has to be circa 2003 - 2009. Looks like Marine recruits with M-16 A2s. The newer tan canteen pouch with the old green 782 alice gear belt and harness is a weird combination.
anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice
I’m just imagining a hunter double tapping a dead duck point blank with scatter shot
TBF it does say ‘rules for a gunfight’ and not ‘rules for a duck hunt’. If the duck is part of an armed offensive, and possibly wearing body armor, I think a double tap is appropriate.
The caliber one seems silly. A 9mm is .35 inches but has about the same power of a .45 but a .357 is more powerful than both
Yeah, this rule really irked me.
This is… its an older meme, motivational poster format, wouldn’t surprise me at all if it was made by a gung ho Gulf War vet either before or not long after Iraq 2 Electric Boogaloo commenced, drenched in Americana gun culture pride.
There are plently of pistol rounds other than .45 ACP that are quite good in combat scenarios, most at this point would probably agree that having more 9mm over less .45 is preferable, otherwise 2011s wouldn’t even be a thing.
Also: its less common, but uh… 5.7?
5.7 is actually more likely to pen body armor, than a 9mm or a .45, if your scenario is you’re fighting against other people with body armor.
And you can make a double stack magazine with it.
And there are a fair number of Police, Intelligence, Military organizations that use the FiveSeven regularly.
And… there are now even a growing number of hunters who will tell you that some kind of pistol in 5.7 is their backup, in case of something big ambushing them.
357 is of course very powerful, but they’re also huge rounds in comparison to .45 or 9m… kinda hard to fit into a semi-auto pistol.
Unless you wanna talk about the .357 SIG.
… but we don’t talk about the .357 SIG …
it’s just the usual “hurr durr anything smaller than .45 is for girls” bullshit. Usually espoused by the sort of ancient old farts who remember carrying one in WWII, Korea, or Vietnam; and who dislike the general shift to smaller bullets going faster because they don’t understand terminal ballistics.
this is why i only use juggernaut monkeys
And a .308 would smoke them all. It was specifying if you see smaller caliber, assume rifle.
That’s not at all what it’s specifying. It says “don’t carry a handgun with a caliber lower than .40”
It’s pro-45ACP / anti-9mm boomer gun shit. I have no clue where you’re getting this “smaller means rifle” from the image posted. Like yeah, typically smaller means rifle, but that’s not at all what the image says.
Caliber of every gun in the picture starts with a “.2”
Well it doesn’t start with “.4” so i guess their rule still stands for that.
As a psych nurse my rules for a gunfight are that the ER security checkpoint with the metal detector and x-ray bag scanner better have found and removed the gun by the time the patient arrives on my unit. One day they didn’t and I was VERY put out. Absolutely miffed. I wrote a very stern email in the morning.
I think you should have taken the gun and shot security.
That would’ve taught them.
