Dude's a shithead (he bans Muslims from his classes and likes to act like Gunnery Sergeant Hartman when teaching because he thinks it's more effective), but he definitely knows his poo poo. And anyone with more than a high school level of knowledge about nutrition and obesity knows that being overweight is far more complicated than "Eat less, fatty".

chitoryu12 posted:"Calories in equal to calories out! Wait, what do you mean you're not losing weight? That can't be true." Let's put a bullet point in this before you manage to completely cock up the cool military poo poo thread with some retarded fat acceptance argument. You physically cannot gain fat if you eat an equal or lesser amount of calories than you expend through your body's basal metabolic rate combined with the caloric deficit and metabolic increases elicited through daily activities. Things like neurochemical conditioning and rewiring of the brain's pleasure centers towards simple sugars, low glycemic index carbohydrates, and certain types of incredibly unhealthy fats do come into play. Habits, appetite, satiation, etc all have their parts to play as do other factors like disorders that play on the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis and affect almost everything in your body. But. BUT. Those are mitigating factors, not loving excuses. If you want to lose weight, you'll lose it. If it's too inconvenient or you don't actually care that much and you would rather have another slice of cheesecake, you'll keep packing the pounds on. Until you're dissatisfied with your current lot in life, stop telling yourself convenient lies, and manage to actually find and get a firm grasp on your balls, you'll stay fat.

There is a vid posted here sometime earlier from of what happens when someone just happens to move directly into a RPG backblast during a firefight and the results weren't pretty. Now factoring in the Gustav which is throwing a much larger round from a much larger back exaust port... yeah...

If a person has led an active lifestyle for a long time then gets injured it's pretty typical that they'll gain weight after that. Especially if they are trying to be active like the guy in the video discusses and even mentions his workout schedule changing due to a need for recovery time. I wouldn't say that's a fat acceptance argument, just that I have a lot more sympathy the guy that came upon the condition after years of hard work then being injured after that.

People who are really active tend to eat a massive amount of calories so it's a pretty big habit change to make if you suddenly can't work out as hard anymore.

Wait, the Carl-G was introduced in 1948?! It's taken us over 50 years to realize "Hey, this thing is pretty great, maybe we should buy a lot more of them." I just don't get how that works.

I imagine Afghanistan has a lot to do with that. Popping bunkers or caves at anything over 500 meters is pretty expensive since LAWs and AT4s can't hit em, and they can still shoot back with RPGs since their target is so much larger. Javelins and airstrikes are expensive as hell, whereas a Carl Gustav can pop a round right into a cave at like 1000 meters or whatever. The last time we had a fight like this over mountains and poo poo was, what, Korea? And there we had Shermans all over the goddamned place.

My grandfather always talked about making GBS threads on tankers because they cruised around on the roads and poo poo while he was walking rear end in a top hat deep in snow up some hill. Lots of reasons people didn't like tankers in Korea I think. quote:During the Apr battle the need for a second MG was felt, as angry little men climbed on the top of the tks and beat on the hatches with fists and rifle butts. One answer was to charge through a mud house, but this was NOT thought to be the real answer, as it increased the shortage of houses already made obvious by zealous gunners. It was thought further that it was better to stop people getting on in the first place. Therefore .30 BROWNINGS were obtained, rumour has it at high cost (in gin), and mounted on the comds cupola. This has a dual advantage in that it solved the problem of the angry little men, and also prevented crew comds from being garrotted by signallers, with their customary homicidal tendencies towards tk men. The fury of the R. Sigs knew NO bounds as their now harmless tight wire traps were time and again swept serenely aside by the advancing tanks. Personally I cherished NO animosity towards the Sigs and contented myself with merely immobilising 3/4 of Seouls tram car service by laying claim, vi et armis, to some 200 yds of overhead wire, which I took with me for some four blocks. Fortunately for me someone preceding me had touched the same wire and blown the fuze, or I might have got summary justice. It was hanging low anyway. http://antipodeanarmour.blogspot.ca/p/centurion-tanks-in-korea-report-by-lt-j.html

Seriously though, grandad really hated them. He usually more or less said "We'd get an order to go on patrol, run into something. We're on a hill looking over a valley, and you'd see the tanks drive past. They'd get hit same we would, but now we're three ridges ahead of our lines and they go back asap. We hoof it. Guys get overrun" It wasn't really a nice place for the tanks to fight, so I kinda sympathize with them, but I see where he was coming from. He did say that some tanks were good for a ride and they did save his rear end a few times, too. Old vets are hilarious when they bitch.

The military ruined my hearing, for drat sure. One guy I know who fired thousands of rounds on two tours was almost stiffed by the VA because they claimed his hearing loss was due to a one-in-a-million genetic defect instead of being an artilleryman. He had to go on steroids (for ear muscles?) and get a hearing aid before they paid out. e: I'm late to the Carl G chat, but that thing was a bitch to carry around for no real reason. Had one get set his helmet on fire though. He soaked his scrim with bug juice to keep the mosquitoes off. Fired it and it started smoking like crazy. ee: anecdotal, but I heard that LAWs were retained for the same reason the Carl G was. They won't stop tanks in the Fulda gap anymore, but they'll make holes in Grape Huts and mud wall compounds. Frosted Flake fucked around with this message at 23:47 on Dec 24, 2015 |

I didn't remember the weights of all the weapons, so I looked it up and holy poo poo. The LAW is 5.5 pounds, the Carl Gustav is 19 pounds unloaded, and the AT4 is loving 14.8 pounds. The CG is barely heavier and is at least reloadable.

The rounds weigh a fair bit as well, you know. The AT4 weight includes launcher and round. Also the new CS versions for the AT4 and CG rounds can be fired indoors without killing the shooter.

Also the new CS versions for the AT4 and CG rounds can be fired indoors without killing the shooter. Apparently the CG rounds weigh from 6.6 to 8.8 pounds each (3 to 4 kg). So yeah, loaded CG is still an epic bitch and the AT4 is still also a bitch compared to a LAW. Edit: That would mean you can carry something like 5 LAWs for the weight of one Carl Gustav loaded with a tandem HEAT round, or 3 for the weight of one unloaded launcher, but even two AT4s would weigh more than the loaded CG with the heaviest round I could find. chitoryu12 fucked around with this message at 22:11 on Dec 25, 2015 |
