I've heard that before also, been around for many years. Never seen proof of the claim though.

the wound instead of kill tactic is combat training 101. it was also said in that movie where mark wahlberg plays the sniper. its like trying to sound profound by telling people that water gets you wet. its basic knowledge

Did you ever read any of the old stories about the M-16 when you were at Benning? When the weapon was first issued the rounds in it had so much propellant that when the bullet struck it would rip arms off and shit. People felt that this was in violation of the Geneva Convention so they dumbed down the round

I heard that but I also heard that was a myth. Like Audi Murphy being a pedophile.Jay wrote:

Haven't seen Mark Wahlberg's sniper movie... Just passing along something a U.S. History: Modern History, Post WWII college professor taught in class back in 1997. Sorry if it is uninteresting to your glorious knowledge, or common knowledge to everyone else. I thought it was interesting.
my knowledge is pretty glorious.
common knowledge to most people who have been in combat arms

I know practically speaking, if anybody else in there was armed it would have been really hard to fight back without hurting oneself or others in the process. I was just using it as an example. I'm saying if you have a gun to defend yourself you're better off than just being a moving target.Frank Reynolds wrote:

And above your tomb, the stars will belong to us.
considering the amount of conditioning the armed forces need to get people to return fire effectively while being shot at, im not sure how much use you and your dick compensating pistol would be imo

the panic/tear gas is the main thing. if even if had the gun, you'd be hesistant to fire back incase it was all some big publicity stunt. the question of anyone being able to do anything was asked and answered as soon as the story broke, why does anyone think otherwise? hollywood i guess.
Jord I don't think you understand. If you had ever fired a high caliber rifle in a theatre before you would know how easy this would have been to stop.
What if someone in the audience had a concealed carry permit for tear gas and they were trying to neutralize the guy with the gun with his skillful tear gas

Cmon guys, there's tons of articles out there (some of which were linked in this thread and the other gun thread) with people firing back and thwarting something. I'm just saying we shouldn't make more gun laws, if anything we should remove more.

There's tons of articles of people buying weapons and going on sprees too (see OP for reference). You're being ignorant if you use this as an argument for less gun laws or loosening restrictions.-Sh1fty- wrote:
