If you were in some kind of John Woo action flick, or were, somehow living life like one of those crazy, gun-toting, kung fu bastards, what gun/guns would you carry? Try to remain in the realm of the genre.

i like the look of Sig pistols. Just, this in at least black or nickel plated.
also this, the p226, passed almost equal with the beretta in the XM9 pistol trials to find the successor of the Colt 1911. And the p226 has been adopted as the official sidearm of the SEALs. comes in 9mm, .357, and .40SW

Berettas are pretty reliable. More than most, but no comparison to a P-99. On a scale of 5, I'd give them a 4 (for reliability). All in all, they really are pretty good guns, I just think they are so generic. Whenever non gun-fanatics think/hear "handgun", they get a picture of a baretta in their mind. It's just what has been projected through movies. I don't like their overuse.

No, when a non-gun-knowledgable person hears different words they bring different images to mind:

Pistol:
A pistol, no specific type, there isn't a whole lot of major shape difference. Major difference would be like an AK compared to an M16.

Assault Weapon:
If they're dumbfucks, they think of bazookas. Otherwise, they think of a rifle, no particular type, just a mixture of all the guns they've seen, unless one was imprinted on their mind well.

Sniper rifle:
See above, but with a scope on it.

Submachine gun:
An MP5 with laser sights on it, like morpheus has in Matrix Revolutions. That or an Uzi.

2004-05-03, 06:38 PM
Having lived a fairly adventurous and active military career, I can safely say I can, could, and/or have used most of the standard arms you might see. I am also amazed at the Hollywood-brainwashed stupidity of some people here. The Calico is a piece of shit. Its sales sucked balls for a reason. Because the weapon sucked balls. Why do you think they went out of business? It might be pretty and spacey... but it fires like a two year old girl.
dude OICW wieghs like 70 lbs you know that right?
Uh... negative. Its earlier variant the LAND WARRIOR system altogether weighed around a hundred pounds, I believe. The OICW is a scaled-down more-effective version made by like seventeen different companies (they each have a piece to make). Try doing your homework before you go farting off at the mouth.

I believe in stopping power versus fancy artsy-fartsy garbage. Berettas are "handy" because they are cheap, dime-a-dozen, and fire a standard-size munition. Every dime-store hood and cheap ghetto "gangsta" has one... that's part of the problem. if they all have them and there are so many shootings, why do so many of them still exist? I'll tell you why. The 9mm round itself is a piece of shit. Why do you think TR sucks? You can hit a guy with a 9mil and unless you head-shot him, chances are he's going to get up and beat the fuck out of you. And you'd deserve it.

Stopping power puts down your enemies. Lots of lead does not. You can fire a magazine of 9mil at a target and, perhaps if G'd was smiling on you and wanted you to go home and see your little girl, you'd walk away. Big-bore pistols. Don't give me that Desert Eagle shit... that's overkill. If you can stand without your arms shaking after that, if you can fucking HEAR after firing the seven-round magazine, you don't need a gun. It's a heavy-hitting weapon, made mainly for sporting and target shooting... because unless you're shooting engine blocks on semi rigs, it's fucking impractical and utterly useless. Forty-five is a decent size heavy-hitter. So I go with a modern .45 (older ones might be "refurbished" aka retreads). Wilson Combat makes a bad-ass .45 that you simply cannot beat. As far as two-handed firing... that's for Perfect Dark and Goldeneye. Unless you're ambidextrous and well-trained to overcome dominance, you'll basically be spraying and praying... meaning wasting rounds.

If you're talking about bigger weapons, specify either shotguns or rifles. I myself prefer Remington or Ithaca shotguns, but that's simply because they're reliable and make a bad-ass bang... in addition to a decent hole in your chest. For rifles, I go with something that fires at least 7.62... since I believe in the laws of lead, we're talking AK variants. If possible I'll take a machinegun. My first duty station, I carried the M249 SAW until we went to Bosnia, then I was carrying an M60. We eventually upgraded to M240 (also known as Mag-something...) and because I was the biggest boy on the team, I got it.

Firepower is ultimate. Accuracy is secondary... you can hit them all day. But if you can't put them down, you're a target. Firepower does not necessarily mean rate of fire... but it does mean bigger bore.

ControlledBurn
2004-05-03, 06:39 PM
My H&K USP .45f with plenty of FMJ and JHP on hand, all loaded in pre-ban mags of course. For portability an M16 with an M203 would be preferable. A 240G if I really wanted some heavy 7.62 NATO fire. God how I love the sound of a 240G.

If I had to be loaded for bear, a SMAW with ammo and some Stingers would be nice. Ooooh, or maybe a Mk19 40mm automatic grenade launcher and a Ma Deuce, the M2 .50 cal.

i've been saying this shit forever. .45's the way to go when it comes to a handgun in close quarters, the only place a handgun should be used anyways. The .45 will knock you flat. the .40 S&W isn't a bad round either, but still doesn't have the stopping power of the .45 ACP. Oh well, bananas.

Firefly he was asking if you were in a John woo movie where the guns never have any problems you never get shot and never EVER run out of ammo. if itwas for real I'd probably want something along the lines of a M4 carbine with older style M203 40mm grenade launcher. simply due to the stopping power of the rifle itself and the scatter ability of the 40mm grenade launcher.


EDIT: I simply said the calico because it looks like (if it worked properly) would be a bad ass gun and it wasn't killed off because it was a piece of shit there was meant to be a civlian model that was semi auto but the US Assault Weapons Ban of 1994 that truely killed it off (Which I think was actaully a good idea last thing we want is gang bangers running 50/100 rounds in a clip)

EDIT again: The M-16 was originally a piece of shit too. till it was revised I';m sure if the calico had actually seen use the bugs it had would have been fixed.

Okay the M4 is not stopping power unless you're exploding heads. Let's not say things we don't mean. The M4 is a carbine. Now... you put that 203 round through someone's head at close range, and we're talking!

As far as John Woo movies... yeah. See that might appeal to me if I weren't jaded by this thing called reality. Having been there and done that, you know?

Forty-five is a decent size heavy-hitter. So I go with a modern .45 (older ones might be "refurbished" aka retreads). Wilson Combat makes a bad-ass .45 that you simply cannot beat. As far as two-handed firing... that's for Perfect Dark and Goldeneye. Unless you're ambidextrous and well-trained to overcome dominance, you'll basically be spraying and praying... meaning wasting rounds.

If you're talking about bigger weapons, specify either shotguns or rifles. I myself prefer Remington or Ithaca shotguns, but that's simply because they're reliable and make a bad-ass bang... in addition to a decent hole in your chest. For rifles, I go with something that fires at least 7.62... since I believe in the laws of lead, we're talking AK variants. If possible I'll take a machinegun. My first duty station, I carried the M249 SAW until we went to Bosnia, then I was carrying an M60. We eventually upgraded to M240 (also known as Mag-something...) and because I was the biggest boy on the team, I got it.

Firepower is ultimate. Accuracy is secondary... you can hit them all day. But if you can't put them down, you're a target. Firepower does not necessarily mean rate of fire... but it does mean bigger bore.

Chill man. This whole thread was based on the fictional coolness factor. You need to calm down. In a real situation, yes, there would be almost NO way I would take a .50 DE over a P-99 unless I was going up against someone in kevlar. Secondly, what you said about 9mm is complete and utter BULLSHIT. Let me shoot you in the chest, or stomach, or thigh. We'll see how far you make it to beating the shit out of me after that. A .357 DE is just as powerful, if not more, than a .45 colt. Plus, the recoil is similar. Don't knock Desert Eagles. You seem to be comparing their overkill to a big bore .50 sniper. That is not what you should be doing. A Barret M99 could crack a big block, a close range .50 DE might dent it. There's a difference between caliber and actual firing power.

You also have no right to talk about overkill as you talk about a SAW as a single person assault weapon. It is a covering fire support weapon, not a fucking Rambo gun. You'd get pwned if you rambo'd with that. It's just not conventional.

Lastly, your words on firepower would get you on a snipers shitlist, as they would tell you a completely different story. I'd say it is an even combination of the two. As a matter of fact, I'd say accuracy is more important. If someone could fire a single shot 800 meters away and hit a man in the skull, he's dead. No matter how you look at it, he's fucked. I could send 300 rounds of an mp5 down an 800 meter range and miss him all day, or, put a couple of 7.62's down range and miss with those too.. If that happened, I'd say I'd be the one fucked. It all depends on the situation.

Desert Eagles are heavy as hell. They are nearly twice as heavy as a conventional handgun is. For example my USP weighs around 700 grams, the DE weighs close to 1700 if I recall correctly. Recoil is most certainly not similar, especially when you take into account the weight of the weapon combined with it's kick. And for the record, the DE .50 doesn't fire the same round, the DE fires a .50 Action Express, where the Barrett fires the .50 Browning Machine Gun round. That's why the firepower isn't similar, as if you've ever seen a .50BMG, you'd know that there's a shit ton of powder behind that bullet compared to the much smaller AE casing.

A SAW can most certainly be used as a single person assault weapon. It's light enough to be held like a standard rifle, and it's rate of fire is certainly slow enough to fire single or short bursts and be accurate. And seeing as he's a former SAW gunner, I'd expect he'd know these things quite well. Maybe you have no right to be questioning his logic.

As for your argument on firepower being a combination I'd have to agree with it for the most part. I'd most certainly argue that getting hit in the head is not the end all be all, I've heard of plenty of people being struck in the head with a variety of different caliber rounds and surviving. Plus take into consideration something like a PASGT helmet at range. Velocity decreases exponentially with every foot it moves, so by the time you hit something at range, even if it was accurate, you may merely wound them, or even just piss them off.

Yes, DE's are heavy, but not unbearable. The weight actually helps tremendously when it comes to recoil. When I said similar I was comparing a .357 magnum to a .45. And yes, those to have very similar recoil.

Unless he is using an MK.46-0, there is no way you could comfortably hold a loaded, belt fed saw and fire off more than a few accurate rounds.

My whole argument on the firepower/accuracy was not to be taken apart and analyzed scientifically, it was just an example. Yes, I realize grazings won't kill someone. I never said anything about a helmet. I said a perfect 800 meter shot, hitting dead center in your skull. This of course, I know, isn't very likely, but like I said...EXAMPLE.

Edit: The USP cold weather problem I was talking about probably won't matter to you. I meant EXTREME colds. My friend in Canada (GASP), has one. He sometimes has problems with it when he fires it in the cold, moreso than most of his other guns.

No .357 I've ever fired has a similar recoil to a .45. Not even the smaller .357Sig rounds are similar in kick.

Have you ever carried a SAW? I'm going to harbor a guess considering your age and say no. Both Firefly and I have held and fired a SAW, so trying to debate something like firing offhand with a SAW when you haven't done it is pretty retarded.

I've fired a .45 colt, then a .357 DE. They both had similar recoils and recovery times for me.

No, you're right, I have never even held a SAW. But I can logically argue, which is pretty much what I do 24/7. The weight of an unloaded MK.46-0 is about 15 lbs. About the weight of an M16. Now, strap on a hefty belt clip. Add the fact your shooting the full SAW, not just the "SAW Light". I'd say it would be pretty hard to accurately fire many rounds from something that hefty with that much power, while your holding it like an assault rifle. I don't care how "tough" you are, it would just be too strenuous on your arm. The recoil on a SAW, I "hear" (Again, I've never fired one but one of my best friends is in the army) is terrible. Bad recoil leads to bad accuracy.

It's true purpose is for squad support, not Rambo style headshots from 400 meters.

Firefly, mind backing up your extreme claims with data? I'll take accuracy over firepower any day.
Data? Dude I don't go Googling shit. I speak from real-life working-man knowledge. I spent two years carrying handguns and the first time you have to fire and compare mock exit wounds (watermelons make nice demonstrations), you learn to appreciate the size of the hole. 9mil holes... well, I've seen better holes on has-been strippers. A forty-five... now goddamn, anything that walks away from that can have my ballsack.

Mmkay, you take your highly accurate .22 starter pistol at 25 meters and I'll take my .45 at 25 meters. You shoot first. I'll kill you first. Okay. You take your accurate 9-mil and put one round in the chamber. I'll take my nice, highly-accurate, bigger-recoil, bigger-bore .45 (which is roughly 11-mil if I do the math in my head using fingers and toes). One round. Twenty paces. Now, assuming you don't hit me and outright kill me (which could happen but not entirely likely), you just blew your one "Last Man Standing Shot". I've got a .45 that will most likely knock you down wherever I hit, and almost assuredly kill you if I hit in vital areas. Sure a 9mil can kill- I never said it couldn't. Anything can kill if you hit in the right spot. But compare the likelihood and percentage of chance, and your chances drop if you've got a nice pretty accurate gun that doesn't do shit for damage.

Accuracy is all well and good but I'm not talking about overall accuracy as it pertains to every firearm known to man. I mean in terms of handguns, specifically 9mils versus bigger weapons. You can be accurate all day long but if you're not putting someone down then what the hell good are you? Handguns are last-line defense weapons. Do you REALLY want to put your life in the hands of a small bullet? No- I guarantee you that you'd want a handgun that will blow a nice hole in someone AND leave them dying in the mud.

Secondly, what you said about 9mm is complete and utter BULLSHIT. Let me shoot you in the chest, or stomach, or thigh. We'll see how far you make it to beating the shit out of me after that.
I'm sure you can sell a great case to cops who have been armed with 9mil handguns and shot people with several rounds and had them survive. As opposed to the guys who now carry Glock .40 because they know better, and don't have to worry about it. Now, sure... many people don't feel like getting up after being shot in the chest or stomach or thigh. But it's happened before. I guaranfuckingtee you, a guy who gets shot with something bigger, DEFINITELY won't be getting up unless he's hopped up on something. Shoot someone in the thigh with a 9mil. They could get up, more than likely. Shoot them in the thigh with a .45 and they won't be too eager to test that theory.

A .357 DE is just as powerful, if not more, than a .45 colt. Plus, the recoil is similar. Don't knock Desert Eagles. You seem to be comparing their overkill to a big bore .50 sniper. That is not what you should be doing. A Barret M99 could crack a big block, a close range .50 DE might dent it. There's a difference between caliber and actual firing power.
I seem to be? Where did I mention the Barrett? No, I'm comparing the Desert Eagle .50 handgun to a Desert Eagle .50 handgun. I didn't say anything about a .357 now did I? Powerful comes in terms of how much powder is packed behind your round. I am well aware of the difference in caliber and firing power, thanks. I didn't say anything about the Desert Eagle not being powerful. I said it's worthless for anything aside from sport and target shooting. You see it in movies because that's Hollywood. These are the same ass-tigers that have fifty guys shoot one man, he dodges every round or they can't hit shit, and he suddenly racks up fifty kills. Come on.

You also have no right to talk about overkill as you talk about a SAW as a single person assault weapon. It is a covering fire support weapon, not a fucking Rambo gun. You'd get pwned if you rambo'd with that. It's just not conventional.
You said enough for me when you said you didn't know what you're talking about. As far as getting "pwned", I don't think so. I shot expert on the SAW range every single time I went. I also taught classes to the entire battalion's SAW gunners on the SAW and its implementation. I led fire teams and squads to victory during military-stakes events using MILES gear and blanks, which is not thoroughly realistic but it's better than the experience you've got. I've also carried a SAW into combat. This isn't trench warfare we're engaged in these days. You *HAVE* to be mobile, you *HAVE* to get your ass up and get moving. It's made to be a light, maneuverable automatic weapon, a light machine gun. As much as you'd love to think the SAW is a big nasty heavy machine gun, it's not. We're not talking about a giant weapon. It's only slightly heavier than an M16 (at least to me it was, but I'm a big boy). The SAW is a personal weapon, it's not a crew-served weapon with ammo bitchboys. So yes. You CAN "rambo" with it. Especially the para-SAWs, which are basically scaled-down versions of the SAW. When you've actually handled one and fired one, cleaned it and slept with it and made it your best friend and your lifeguard, come talk to me.

Lastly, your words on firepower would get you on a snipers shitlist, as they would tell you a completely different story. I'd say it is an even combination of the two. As a matter of fact, I'd say accuracy is more important. If someone could fire a single shot 800 meters away and hit a man in the skull, he's dead. No matter how you look at it, he's fucked. I could send 300 rounds of an mp5 down an 800 meter range and miss him all day, or, put a couple of 7.62's down range and miss with those too.. If that happened, I'd say I'd be the one fucked. It all depends on the situation.
Where in my post did you see me talking about snipers? A sniper is by nature an accurate one-shot kill. Of course it's even combination when it comes to sniping. No one is disputing that. But not every grunt is a sniper and the sniper is a specialized role. I'm talking about for up-close and personal, starting with handguns. Comparing an MP5 to a 7.62 weapon is pretty fucking stupid any way you look at it. First of all, any retard trying to fire 800 yards with an MP5 is a clueless dolt. Nobody in their right mind would ever use that as an example.

No, you're right, I have never even held a SAW. But I can logically argue, which is pretty much what I do 24/7. The weight of an unloaded MK.46-0 is about 15 lbs. About the weight of an M16. Now, strap on a hefty belt clip. Add the fact your shooting the full SAW, not just the "SAW Light". I'd say it would be pretty hard to accurately fire many rounds from something that hefty with that much power, while your holding it like an assault rifle. I don't care how "tough" you are, it would just be too strenuous on your arm.
You've never held a SAW. Exactly. You cannot logically argue. First of all, we're not talking about holding the motherfucker with one hand. That's just ridiculous. This isn't Swordfish, dude. Try to separate yourself from the movies. Okay, you mention like an assault rifle. They teach you how to fire it from the shoulder, but nobody does this in all practicality. You're either in the prone on the ground or firing supported... or you've got it from the hip (yes like Rambo) BUT you also have a shoulder belt that bears most of the weight. Now, to be fair... if you're going in guns blazing with one big long burst, you're not going to get accuracy. That's a simple fact of recoil, force, and all that science jazz. Ideally, you'd be firing short bursts. Three-round is what they teach you. I can't be certain, but I'm pretty sure I have fired one-round shots from a drum. Oh- the belt. It's linked rounds from a drum, not a belt that you sling over your shoulder like a gay Chuck Norris movie. The ammo comes from a drum that's attached to the underside of the weapon, not a clip. Although it can fire from an M16 magazine... but only a desperate out-of-ammo gunner would be doing this.

Point- I've fired from the hip. It was not strenuous on my arm. Para-SAW or regular. I did fire it from the shoulder and yes, it was difficult, but they only teach familiarization. No dumbfuck in his right mind wants to do that all day.

The recoil on a SAW, I "hear" (Again, I've never fired one but one of my best friends is in the army) is terrible. Bad recoil leads to bad accuracy.

It's true purpose is for squad support, not Rambo style headshots from 400 meters.
Nobody's talking about Rambo headshots from 400 meters... yes, it's a team/squad support weapon. I never noticed the recoil being bad, let alone terrible. But then, if you're firing like a stupid maniac with the trigger all the way back, then you deserve whatever shit accuracy you get... along with the glowing red-hot warped barrel that will invariably result.

Oh by the way. I've engaged targets with a SAW at over 400 meters. I've hit targets at 800 meters. You can make headshots at 400 meters, if you have time and nominal conditions and are an above-average shooter. Furthermore. You can actually, with modifications such as an optical sight, turn the SAW into a mini-sniper rifle... provided you've got excellent trigger control and you're leaning into the bi-pod.

I've seen no proof of how g-unit-riffic ramboing with a saw is.

Both mine and firefly's opinion have real-world experience to them, as in we've been there and done that, Firefly also has quite a bit more than me militarily for the time being. My opinion on the difference in kick between a .357 and .45 is exactly what matters, as I'll want something with as little kick as possible while being effective if I ever go into some sort of combat situation. The proof you're looking for regarding the SAW is only found by experiencing, not on a piece of paper. You claim you've fired a .357 Mag followed up by a .45ACP and that there is no difference, I have to call bullshit, as will anyone else with a good working knowledge of firearms. I'm no gun-nut terrorist, I'm merely a man who has spent a good deal of time around firearms, and has plans for a long career in the military. Make whatever observations you want about who I am, but the sad truth is you know nothing about me except what little I've posted to the forums, so the name calling doesn't bother me, you're just another 15 year old trying to shit talk his way out of a corner.

oma and all who read: i reccomend staying away from the .45 glocks... at least by 30 feet or so. i've seen and heard numerous accounts of these things blowing up in the hands of a number of different departments' officers' hands all across the country, often causing some pretty bad injuries.

(not related to ammunition, as most glock kb's are. most sent back to glock and replaced for free with smaller calibers. no good for carry ... or anything, imo.)

That might work if this were Religious Debate and I cared one whit for what the scriptures have to say on genocide and crimes against humanity or holding to a belief that it has been proven through popular opinion to be wrong.

As far as what role is it of mine to judge someone on what they do as right or wrong... when it comes to people like Adolf Hitler, your apathetic attitude is one of millions that could have spared six million of my people, along with countless others deemed "unfit for society". Your holier-than-thou attitude in allowing only G'd to judge mankind is why people are free to murder hundreds, thousands, or millions of innocent people. This very same attitude is what could have prevented countless wars or atrocities. And while I am sure G'd has some master plan in allowing these genocidal maniacs to wreak havoc, there is an old addage:

"Those who do not learn from history are bound to repeat it" or something similar. I am prepared to learn from history and stand guard against those who perpetrate such acts. It is, in fact, my place to assist in judging those who would swear to their courses of action despite being wrong, so that we don't have another Hitler. Morality and decency as a human being dictate that we as men do not stand idly by while others suffer. Can you say the same, or does your religious scripture say something about turning a blind eye to evil?

Lexington- yes I am done. Thank you for putting me in my place. My apologies. Have a nice day.

I prefer big-bore hand cannons like the Freedom Arms Model 83 .454 Casull revolver series. I'm a big fan of something with a deep boom.

Meh. Deagle has stopping power but its heavy and unwieldy. I would probably carry a small 9mm pistol, a P90 (gotta love the compact design) and my nun-chukas (in case the enemy has a super-powerful magnet that yanks all the guns out of my hands :p ).

I'm no gun buff (only fired a shotgun and a pistol a few times before) so I probably wouldn't do to well, but I figure I could spray the P90 well enough to kill something. If I needed to be accurate I would probably carry a sniper rifle like the PSG1. I'm a former state champion in archery but uhm... yeah, a compound bow wouldn't quite give me the edge I would need in a gunfight.

I also have a pair of steel arm splints I would probably wear to prevent myself from gettin cut in half by you freaks with the swords. I'm a pretty skilled nun-chukas wielder (if I do say so myself) so I think I could hold my own in hand-to-hand (until someone stabs me with a katana :( ). I'd also have to wear my trenchcoat (which is WAY cooler than yours Spee :p). PH33R T3H ELECTROFREAK!
:lol:

edit- For any of you who think that people who wear trenchcoats are trying to emulate the kids from Columbine, get a friggin clue. I wore trenchcoats BEFORE that shit ever happened, and BEFORE the Matrix ever came out. I've always liked the style. Not my fault a bunch of insane psycho-kids decided to shoot up a school while wearing them.

2004-05-04, 12:33 PM
essentially that's still on topic, buddy. this thread's about the kind of stuff you'd be carrying about in a John Woo flick. I never really barred equipment and outfits from the pool, just never made it specific to include them. The thread is essentially about about the weapons you'd have, but it can deviate a little. But, trying to turn this into a realism thread was very much veering off the beaten path.

Now, i'm sure you'll argue with me. :rolleyes:

I have a black leather trenchcoat. don't wear it much anymore unless it's raining outside.

Hmm, for me, would be the following -

Assault Rifle -

Either a SA80/L85
http://world.guns.ru/assault/l85a2.jpg
Not the most reliable gun, but in terms of accuracy, thanks to the SUSAT sight, it pwns.

OR

A Fabrique Nationale F2000
http://world.guns.ru/assault/f2000_3.jpg
Just plain cool!

SMG -

Russian made Bizon SMG
http://world.guns.ru/smg/BIZON.JPG
Basically a mini AKxx with 60 round clips

Pistol -

Either a Walther P99 (in .40SW)
http://world.guns.ru/handguns/walther_p99.jpg
Good all round pistol

South African Vector CP1
http://world.guns.ru/handguns/vector_cp1.jpg
Just damn cool looking!

Shotgun -

South African Striker shotgun
http://world.guns.ru/shotgun/STRIKER.JPG
Just uber auto ownage.

Sniper Rifles -

Accuracy International AW-50 (Or OMG AWP WHORE!!!!)
http://world.guns.ru/sniper/ai-aw50.jpg
Ok, so it's .50BMG rifle, not really a sniper rifle, more towards "anti material", but guaranteed, if you had one of those rounds lodged in your head, you'd be down instantly.

Machine Gun -

CIS .50 M
http://world.guns.ru/machine/cis50mg1.jpg
.50 cal pain, at 400-600RPM.

Meelee -
A Mace

Ok, so that concludes the "If Frag was gonna kill you, what would he use?" list. Questions? Comments? Retarded argumentative remarks on how all of those guns are shite, but look damn cool? No? Good!

BTW, ControlledBurn. I thought you lived in Vista?!?!? I didnt know you lived with martyr and blizzard. :o

No, no, and for the record, I used to live in Oceanside, not Vista. Long story short, I went to Vista High for two years, then my dad retired from the Corps, we moved to Washington State, I finished High School there. I'm attending Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, FL. Met Martyr through the Echo-Romeo community, met Bliz in my Private Pilot License Ground Lab, and am now living with Bliz, his girlie (well she moves down in August) and Martyr's old roommate. Martyr and Triggar are in the process of getting their own apartment in the same complex, so I guess technically I live with them, although in the time since I've been here, they've been away the whole time :-D

I've still got plenty of ties to Oceanside/Vista, in fact, I was just there this past January to see my little brother before he deployed to Iraq and visit a few other friends in the area. I'm hoping and planning to be back in the San Diego area semi-permanently in about 36 months, stationed at Miramar if I get what I want.

All right.
You can't be serious...
I am serious. Deadly serious.

The kevlar "flak" vest that someone hotlinked is an utter piece of shit. Yeah in a firefight you might be tempted to wear it since every little bit helps. Yeah in a firefight your platoon leader and his wet shiny butter bar might say "SOLDIER GET THAT GODDAMN KAVALAR ON!" since none of them can pronounce it properly. It's not body armor, it's protection from flying metal fragments and shards and debris. It won't stop a knife thrust, it might stop a .22. That's all you get.

Bottom line- it's bulky and it's worthless. It is designed to stop SHRAPNEL. IE, hot flying metal shards. And let's face it- do you really want to stop them from hitting your chest when your face is gonna get fucked up? Not really. Furthermore, the Kevlar is reportedly good for stopping light (60mmm) mortar rounds from 25 meters and beyond.

KEVLAR IS NOT BODY ARMOR. Now, you can modify it into IBAS and slap some metal plates on there and yeah- you would be relatively safe from small arms fire at short to long range (point blank, maybe...). But you're talking about taking a hot, stuffy, bulky system of weaving and adding steel plates to it. So the odds of you running around doing flips and shit are pretty weak.

If you want good, decent body armor, look at the stuff SWAT uses.

it might stop a .22. That's all you get.

After doing some more reading I found that a Kevlar vest should be able to stop a .38 from 10 feet.

In addition, Kevlar vest are usually made with pockets for ceramic plates designed to stop high velocity bullets from assault rifles.

It sounds like kevlar vests are not as bad as you make them out to be.

It is a reference to the television show "I Love Lucy." The Character Lucy was always getting into some kind of hijinks and found herself in some kind of mess. Her husband Ricky Ricardo Spoke with a heavy spanish accent and when He would ask her to explain the mess, it would come out as 'Splain.' So "Lucy, Splain" was a line that was in almost every episode.
