M27 Vs. M7: Why The Marines Aren’t Buying The Army’s New Rifle

Posted on by Lone Candle

The Marines expect to be fighting where they may be on islands cutoff from resupply and need a weapon easy to maintain. They also expect to be close to the enemy, so a larger mag size is more important than the distance the bullet fires. And thus, the Marines are not adapting the Army’s new rifle. The Marines also don’t want to deal with the growing pains of adopting a new rifle and ammunition.

The US’s New Infantry Rifle is Awesome

Posted on by Lone Candle

The army is trying to replace the M4 with a higher powered rifle that can better punch through modern body armor and hit people at farther ranges. However, it is heavy, has more recoil, and holds 20 rather than 30 rounds.

Posted on by Lone Candle

“A British graduate who was passionately anti-guns was shot dead by her alcoholic father at his Texas home just hours after they had an argument about Donald Trump, an inquest was told today.”

If the father had not owned a gun, Lucy Harrison would likely be alive today.

How scientists radically reduced violence in America (no gun ban)

Posted on by Lone Candle

The overwhelming share of shootings in the US are from arguments. They aren’t from people committing a crime, or people murdering for revenge, they are from heated arguments, and in the moment of escalation, someone shoots someone else.

Wealthy areas have much less shootings, but even between neighborhoods with similar socio-demographics, there are some with high shootings and some with low shootings.

Experiments that involve cleaning up vacant lots in neighborhoods, and teaching men how to respond to provocation, have found drastic reductions in violence.

Military Pistols Don’t Actually Matter

Posted on by Lone Candle

Pistols have never determined who won a war. In WWI, they were less than .1% of kills and wounded. Modern, more compact rifles are more useful than pistols. Rifles have more range, accuracy, and can better punch through modern armor. For some troops, it may be better to carry more rifle ammo than a pistol. Modern pistols are like modern smartphones, there isn’t a huge difference between brands and the chance that one company’s pistol saves your life when another company’s would not, is low.
