I've been considering the Beretta M9, the Sig M17, and the Glock 19/17. With how ubiquitous the Glock is in the military and LE worldwide, I'm kind of scratching my head wondering why we chose a thicc 9mm pasta gun and then a sleek 9mm poop-color gun, instead of the magical tupperware 9mm. Any thoughts or insights? I just want to talk about guns 😭

Hey sorry this took a minute, I've been having a godawful week.

So while the actual answer is probably something to do with the opaque and often nonsensical world of military procurement programs (the movie Pentagon Wars is a fictionalized account, but not a bad way to understand it), and probably has more to do with the price tag of ongoing purchase and maintenance contracts - I have a sillier theory.

The direct predecessor to the M9 Spaghetti pistol, the 1911 is a thicc brick of steel, covered in safeties. Between the actual manual safety, the grip safety that won't let it fire if you don't hold it correctly, and the fact it is single action so pulling the trigger does nothing if the hammer is not cocked back, means it's very, very hard to shoot the gun accidentally. In light of the that, the M9's manual safety, decocker, and long double action pull seem perfectly in line with the military's safety preferences.

If you've ever been on a military base, they have these things called "clearing barrels", which are barrels filled with sand. Soldiers returning from areas that require one to load their weapon, like going to the range or outside the war, are required to unload their weapon, point it into the barrel, and pull the trigger. This is meant as the final failsafe to prevent anyone from wandering around base with a dangerous loaded weapon. And inevitably, people mess up, fail to properly clear their weapon, and blast the clearing barrel all the time.

The vast majority of soldiers will never fire a shot in anger. The largest danger to them (well, other than dying of lack of treatment in a VA parking lot), is going to be from their own weapons. And that makes safety the paramount consideration.

I like Glocks. While I haven't shot the M18 and thus can't make a fair comparison, it would not surprise me if the pistol with a much longer pedigree and 5 generations of upgrades was superior to the pistol that Sig threw together for the pistol trials.

However, I can guarantee that at least one of the deciding factors in the head of every military official making the decision was "Does it have a goddamn safety? Because I am so tired of soldier blowing holes in their desks, feet, and each other."

(yes, I know the pistol Glock entered into the trials had a safety. We all know that was an afterthought, grafting in a safety compared to the M18 already having one)

Aliens = PR cover for Weapons and technology development in Israel

Y'all ever wondered about the similarity between the Star Wars program under Reagan and eventual development of the Iron dome defense system....?

Why do you think they get so much money from the US government? Why do you think they are doing so much to protect them?

Israel IS the Military Industrial Complex

(You'd need a proxy to help test it out huh?)

When Israel falls can we call it a M.I.C drop moment? 🙏

FrostBitten dev: The Mole Bear

Brief Description:

The original genus that Mole Bears originated from is heavily debated within scholar circles, with some claiming that they where originally a type of bear, others say they are a type of rodent or marsupial.

Whatever they once where however does not detract from their mastery of the many tunnels that lay throughout Labyrinth's surface and depths.

Whilst normally Mole Bears are one of the more docile creatures that the Clans contend with, oftentimes young bears accidentally expanding their tunnels through the floors or walls of homes, this doesn't mean that one can lower their guard when a Mole Bear is near as if the creature feels as though it is threatened or cornered can move deceptively fast and attacking in a blind furry of claws, teeth and quills.

One of the most defining adaptations of Mole Bears is their total lack of eyes and visible ears, however to compensate it appears that they gained a acute sense of smell with allows navigation within their subterranean homes or on their brief trips to the surface to scavenge or hunt small prey .

Offensively Mole Bears have evolved to have hollow hairs or quills made of a keratin like material that grows in layers along their : heads, back, tail, and limbs.

When agitated a Mole Bear extends these quills as a threat display and if further pressed are able to detach theses quills, throwing them at a target with an accuracy that should not be possible for the blind creature, by swinging their heads or forelimbs revealing newly grown quills that lay under the outermost quills.
