I'm assuming that "handgun" here means "without a stock". So all that recoil that would ordinarily go against your shoulder would go into your hand and wrist instead. So either the thing breaks your wrist and/or fingers, or it goes flying off your hands with every shot. Either way, great TikTok content.
Kind of a stupid line of logic, and also I'd be highly doubtful of the claim given all the bullshit that both sides (especially the pro UK side) has been reporting. It's war, literally anybody can die at any moment from anything, the dice are cast and sometimes you get to be the statue and other times you get to be the pigeon.
of course Dakota "Civilians shouldn't have body armor" Meyer has to give his two cents
Am I missing something? Seems that this Tim Kennedy guy is conflating a war games exercise with videogames. I don't see what his point is.
These two are great examples of meat-head vetbros. This eurasian guy was a soldier and (presumably) trained in wargames to master the functionality of his vehicle. His death to a missile, bomb, or whatever is evidence anyone in a warzone can die, no matter how well-versed they are at their job. Instead of saying that they conflate military training games with "larpers", for quick owns against the civies who don't kiss their ass 24/7.
The phrasing is all messed up because he seems one of those "word salad, send tweet" type of people. Deciphering this from "goatee man with hat ranting from his truck" to English, he is saying that a lot of people get a lot of false confidence from games, and here is an example of a guy who was trained to operate with a real tank and he still got clapped because the skills from the war games don't translate to real combat.
The tank biathlon isn't an actual military training game, it's actually just a game. They race around a track and shoot the weapons, like the human biathlon. There's no concern for cover, all the targets are brightly colored, etc.
True, however he was still a soldier who had been trained on that vehicle and he still got killed (allegedly) because war is cruel like that.
Don't read too much into it, because he sure as shit didn't put much thought into the post itself. That is just a cheap "gotcha".
I get what you're saying, it's just a really weird line of logic in the Instagram post.
Yeah that's what I kinda thought. Still, they're treating it like he was a world champ warthunder player or something, rather than a real soldier.
So who'll be the one to blow a rifle up and need an ER visit in this scenario?
Inshallah, all of them.
That and them living in a rented "compound" for a month since most of them are in Texas now. Reality TV: Guntuber Edition.
April 1st is on a Tuesday in 2025 so there's hope C&Rsenal will do a April Fools episode on the HiPoint.
