That quote is actually from Benedict Arnold's journal, expressing envy at Morgan's riflemen.

The M1A1 actually doesn't look bad with the older VFG. Looks kinda based actually, even if I love the overall simplification of the M1A1 pattern.

>>63936875
I just realized that SMGs are a type of pistol caliber carbine.

>>63936875
The Thompson has the right lines for it. It also manages to still look right as the Chinese caliber converted ones in 7.62mm, the PPS-43 magwell insert manages to fit pretty well in the .45 caliber magwell which had originally been sized for the larger drums.

I imagine it shouldn't be too much work making an M1A1 Thompson clone but in 10mm Auto, it's got the right size and the gun is suitably overbuilt for high powered pistol cartridges like .45 and 7.62mm

>>63936892
I mean I guess? They're shoulder fired and pistol caliber, only they're also full-auto/select-fire and volume of fire is the main point.

I assume American heroes count? Here's 1943's answer to Mike Vining

>>63935756
Here's a better res image fren. On another note, did anyone ever figure out all of the guns that are in the image?

Here's another transferable Thompson, one an anon around these parts showed off once, it's even got a very rare 100rd drum with it, those were worth almost $1000 alone at the time, no doubt they're worth more now.

They made .30 carbine thompsons that, aside from being open bolt, nearly meet the definition of an assualt rifle, being in an intermediate cartridge and having both semi and full auto

>>63935919

>>63938112
That is unironically a dude.

>>63938752
He was a real one. Condemning himself and his crew to death with the faith that their sacrifice would preserve the lives of many more.

>>63938737
.30 Carbine falls way too short to fit, in my opinion. It really doesn't have the necessary effective range to work, particularly when you use a shorter barrel like the Thompson did, so it'll be even shorter.
It was also a straight blowback action, which together with being like twice the required weight for the Light Rifle trials, is why it was probably never even tested. Unlike the older Winchester semi-auto rifles (.30 Carbine being derived from .32 Winchester Self Loading), the weight wouldn't be distributed out underneath the barrel, so I imagine it would perhaps have an awkward recoil impulse.

To me, it gets more interesting when you look at what Melvin Johnson was doing, necking down .30 Carbine to .22 caliber, putting out a 40gr bullet anywhere between 2800fps to 3000fps, and now you're kind of starting to get something more like an assault rifle. There were M2 Carbines converted and built for this .22 Spitfire cartridge, and it was fairly well liked in field testing, because it helped tame the jumpy recoil of the M2 and also improved its range and terminal ballistics.
Ultimately, Melvin Johnson was unable to convince the military to upgrade carbines for the new cartridge as a budget stopgap, as the M16 was underway by then, the M193 Ball load of 5.56mm cranking out a 55gr bullet at 3200fps, which is about 30% more powerful.

All that said, the .30 Carbine Thompson would probably be a fun novelty akin to a HK53 or HK51, it'd be a really loud and flashy gun to fire. Might have a better magazine than the M1 Carbine.

In the grim logic of the universe this may be a weakness. Perhaps some race that never bothers to rescue an individual may exploit this human trait to wipe us out. The Skinnies have such a trait only slightly and the Bugs don’t seem to have it at all - nobody ever saw a Bug come to the aid of another because he was wounded; they co-operate perfectly in fighting but units are abandoned the instant they are no longer useful.

Our behavior is different. How often have you seen a headline like this? - TWO DIE ATTEMPTING RESCUE OF DROWNING CHILD. If a man gets lost in the mountains, hundreds will search and often two or three searchers are killed. But the next time somebody gets lost just as many volunteers turn out.

Poor arithmetic… but very human. It runs through all our folklore, all human religious, all our literature - a racial conviction that when one human needs rescue, others should not count the price.

Weakness? It might be the unique strength that wins us a Galaxy.

This is why it is unconscionable that America is not stepping up to the plate to help Ukraine. America are practically giving Putin everything he wants for free and getting noting in return for the land we’re giving up. Consensus among Americans is that we need to listen to British intelligence more and be more willing to escalate against Russia.

Retards I am literally quoting Starship Troopers because their ship is called the Roger Young. This is part of a lecture from the book. The entire POINT is that humans are willing to be /bad/ at math because our compassion for our fellow man takes higher priority. And it is that empathy and compassion for the soldier next to you that they point out the enemy lacks, and may be the 1 thing that makes us succeed in conquering the stars.

Nice talking point, vlad. Europe does stand behind Ukraine. The issue is when compromised r*ssian asset president of the US constantiently shits his pants rather than doing what is needed.

The support model which works is for a few bored lads to cross r*ssia red lines then the US follow up with the bulk of aid. The UK has done their part to be a great group of guys for this. But trump has dropped the balls in so embarrassing of a fashion, it proved his a r*ssian asset.

Standing by our brothers means that more strong fighters have a chance to live to fight another day (or at the very least help support the fight), so I'd say it's actually an incredibly productive instinct on average.

We didn't come out on top of the global foodchain by pure fluke.

>>63946593
this mindset is retarded though.
It's like beating the fuck out of a random passerby "because he was taking pictures of little girls" when it turns out he didn't have a camera at all, and everyone castigates you for acting like a nigger. Then later, when another stranger starts violently attempting to rape a woman you say "Oh, what, now it's suddenly OK to beat people? Man fuck y'all". They're different situations entirely and treating them as the same or even similar is stupid at best and disingenuous at worst.

The justification for invading Iraq was that Saddam was that he was actively creating weapons of mass destruction. This was not true, and we deserve all the acrimony we get for starting a $2 trillion war that cost 4000 lives in combat under false pretenses. American blood is precious and should never be wasted on bullshit.
Ukraine and Afghanistan are different; one is a white European country invaded by a cartoonishly-evil aggressor that also happens to be our age-old archrival; the other sheltered the terrorists that caused 9/11.
We should still be in Afghanistan, only we should have buckbroken Pakistan into not actively supporting the Taliban.
And we should have, at the very least, a no fly zone over Ukraine.
Want to be world police? Then go after the actual criminal countries and don't falsely accuse countries of crimes so you can start a war. It is literally that simple.

>>63947071
The only people more surprised than the US public over the military invading Iraq was Saddam himself. It would be like the US invading South Korea in the 1960s.

>>63947090

No, no it is not. Is it just ignorance of our own history as to why we haven't entered the fray alongside Ukraine in their retarded war with Rusgroids?
>America are practically giving Putin everything he wants for free and getting noting in return for the land we’re giving up.
I ask you genuinely, are you even aware why we entered World War 2? Assuming you're actually Ukrainian and not just some retarded nafoid; we stayed well away from Europe, providing only material support (much like we're doing now for Ukraine) to the UK and other countries as Germany started making their way westward. We actually only entered the war in Europe when Adolf Hitler formally declared war on us following Japan's chimp out at Pearl Harbor and declaration of war against us. Had AH not done so, it's most likely that we wouldn't have entered the war in Europe until much later, if at all

One of the many reasons why bayonets remain necessary on infantry rifles. In a time of war, there may come a moment where there is an emotional need to affix bayonets as part of a charge, and then apply them on enemies.
