    Fun fact: the m16 has a pew-pew-pew mode for three rounds, but ours accepted only 20- and 50-round mags. (If I remember right)

      30 round banana mags became standard by the first gulf war and were certainly ubiquitous by the time of my pointless rotations hunting wmds. Very unfamiliar with 50 though. That like half a C mag?

      The chuckle I always had was with the thought of the alpha 1s, fully auto, with the 20 round Vietnam mags. That musta been like the BAR in ww2… and I’m reloading and I’m reloading…

    Surely a metric rifle such as this should fire in bursts of 1, 10, 100, or 1000 bullets?

        Some people just get a high from doing the group ritual. I was more of a teenage iconoclast that didn’t want to do anything anyone else was doing, which is a different set of problems.

        I wonder if they are counting Charlemagne?

        Also, I feel like China would have to have more… Or do civil wars not count?

          I think no matter how you slice it you could work the stats to go your way on that, but the main point is the French were like a pretty unstoppable land power for 500 years, had 2 bad decades in the 1900s and never lived it down somehow

      When politicians tried to increase the retirement age in France they protested every day and shut the country down until it was reversed.

      The American government has been shut down for a month and people who aren’t even being paid are continuing to show up for work. Once every couple months they’ll gather in a polite group and say “please stop doing Human Rights Abuses” before carefully cleaning up and going back to work the next day in order to not be too big of an inconvenience.

      I wish Americans knew how to fight like the French.
