Quality posting direct from my brain to your face holes.

I've long since retired and my son's moved away
I called him up just the other day
I said, I'd like to see you if you don't mind
He said, I'd love to, dad, if I could find the time
You see, my new job's a hassle, and the kid's got the flu
But it's sure nice talking to you, dad
It's been sure nice talking to you
And as I hung up the phone, it occurred to me
He'd grown up just like me
My boy was just like me


And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
When you coming home, son?
I don't know when
But we'll get together then
You know we'll have a good time then

Hasn't double-stacking AT mines been a thing for a while? I'm pretty sure I've heard about that before.

I'm confused, is it just a second AT mine under the first one? That's not going to pose any more danger for someone digging it up than one would since they need like hundreds of pounds of pressure to go off. If it was an antipersonnel mine wouldn't have it gone off more or less immediately unless it was a dud?

Double stacking would just make the mine ~twice as powerful when a vehicle rolled over it right?

I don't really see what they're running from in the video though.

You see that flap sticking up out of the dirt? That's an anti-tamper device linked to another explosive beneath. You can see it flip up briefly in the video. The weight of the mine above keeps the spring under the flap depressed, but when lifted the flap comes up and boom.

So when you wash out of Alfa Group's selection, does someone wash your brains off the ground or are you expected to do that posthumously?

You know... that doesn't seem too crazy (it's still a wee bit crazy), assuming that the shooters involved are actually competent and well-trained (and have certainly rehearsed that performance). We're fairly risk-averse here as a byproduct of an rear end-covering environment, and average Joe infantryman would never in a million years be trusted to do that. The part that really concerns me about that whole video is that they're doing it in front of a crowd, who are almost certainly not wearing any protective gear. I'm more concerned about them getting hit by shrapnel than the guy wearing armor getting hit with pistol rounds.

Poke.



I'm sure the SAS have a hostage training room where they come in with live ammo and pew pew the things whilst real people are sat in the room. I may be talking bollocks but I seem to remember some quite expensive football players being in the room at one point.

Yep, thought so

I can't tell if the dude getting shot in the leg was actually being hit in a protective armor pad or actually being hit in the leg. I'm sure bandaging him could have been part of the drill, but he reacted a lot like a dude who just took a 9mm to the thigh.

Delta will do livefire with their dudes in the room as well, which is probably something Charlie Beckwith picked up from SAS

I can't judge how practical any of that is, but it kinda (well mostly) seems like the gun equivalent of martial arts that is more about stunts and breaking wooden boards than anything practical.

It is... gunkata.
