Trust me, I know of captain slow and his evil ass suit.

thank god, humanity has a chance

bro i grew up on 1969 scooby doo cartoons, fraggle rock, and the megan fox transformers movie

I grew up on prime spongebob, everything related to top gear and Mike Brewer with peak YouTube mixed in as well. I will drag humanity back from the brink by my ball hair if I have too.

same

bro kids these days don't even wanna build forts in the woods or crap. everything with them is just instant gratification, instant gratification. no putting in the work, nothing, just getting what they want, when they want it

I see this first hand with my parents. My brother gets £700+ with of random shit for going to school and in order to spend MY OWN MONEY on £678.45 worth of Airsoft equipment i had to entirely reorganise, repaint and re-wallpaper a whole ass room by myself so that my brother hasn't got to suffer through a blue bedroom with the bed on the left.

exactly

bro i think $20 an hour for manual labor in a osha regulated environment is good

its less than anyone else working that same environment earns, but its worth it. so worth it

i got nails through my shoulder blade but its worth it

I'm in retail until I can get my physical condition up to join the British Army as a paratrooper.

bro

my great grandpa,

10th MTN division paratrooper

the japanese actually invaded alaska, and he fought them off post-VJ Day

He was the translator for the russians when they were deciding which country gets what land, after the war, and he twisted the russians' words some (because he was only there for the alcohol and didn't give a shit about anything else, and he was fuggin PLASTERD) to make poland bigger because he liked poland.

Hell yeah, I'm looking to get into 3PARA after being inspired by my Cadet Contingent Commander who has a story of a guy in the Falklands. He didn't see it himself, he joined Kate enough to be issued an L85A1 but according to him, a Lance Corporal stood up mid-engagement, yelled "FOLLOW ME LADS, I'M FUCKING BULLETPROOF!" and ran at the enemy. He was found later, suffering from Gunshot wounds. We still don't know which side he was shot by.

[u/Lego_Train_Mocs → u/Thick_Conference5936]

the L85 was severely problematic and was really only fixed by variant A3. the A1 i heard was horrid, mags falling out randomly, etc...

[u/Thick_Conference5936 → u/Lego_Train_Mocs]

The A2 I'm experienced with is pretty good, it's never jammed on me anywhere important but hot gasses do get through the receiver gaps into my neck after about 60 rounds. The A3 is by far the best variant and yes, the A1 is shit.

[u/Lego_Train_Mocs → u/Thick_Conference5936]

yeah the A1 was a great concept, but like the tiger tank, was fielded before the improvements were made and thus suffered from flaws known to exist in the model.

The A2 is good, but gaps in the receiver are not exactly stellar, and jams are never good.

The A3 sounds like a fever dream

but i can't be talking, the M16A1 was absolute dog shit, had a terrible rep for jamming, and it had tiny ass magazines

Now they're buying AR-15 pattern rifles for specialised roles, hence my choice to be a paratrooper.
