oh boy, it was originally written by Chris Ryan he's, like, the coolest dude after John McAleese. although, I have reservations about his writing abilities worst fears confirmed, watching season 1, and it's very, very silly. also, no fit girls with guns anywhere. Monte, I should file a complaint for false advertising let's switch gears

not the differences, the clear superiority of the AR-15 platform

I watched a report that stated the Russian Army wouldn't pick up AK12 because it needs a lot of reworking (Izhmach is already on it reportedly), and would go with AEK instead. anyway, you're the first person I've seen who thought commercial versions of AR15 are not easy to maintain. it takes 5 seconds to disassemble

you know there was a huge mess with the US Army not wanting to move from M4 to a new carbine. they were forced to hold a contest for a new weapon system by the Congress, but they never had intentions of actually abandoning the M4, because even after M4 had come dead last in all trials, the Army just deemed it unnecessary to drop such a "reliable system troops are so familiar with in favor of a weapon that is only 70% more efficient" or something along those lines. so yeah, troops in A-stan still use slightly modified M4 carbines that aren't the best (were never intended as such). and of course there are many other similar weapons a lot better that use the same form factor (HK416) but that's not even the point. I was talking about the weapon in its entirety: how easy it is to make it ambidextrous, how easy it is to maintain in a good condition, how reliable some of them are (barrels that reportedly will serve through 10000 rounds fired, very few jams during torture tests etc.) - some people swear by AKs, I personally think their design is too outdated, and Stoner's design really holds up as years go by

The AR has always been and will always be a completely overrated mediocre weapons system. If the US military didn't adopt it nobody would even waste a thought on it. The Design depends too much on lubrication, use too little and it jams, run it dry and it doesn't work at all, use the wrong one or too much and the gun gums up because of the powder residue mixes with the oil. Heat + oil + powder residue creates a material similar to tar. you're talking about M4s that are more than 20 years old, right? there's a million gas-piston AR-15s out there. don't want to argue with you since my knowledge is based on other people's experience. I never had that chance to fire the only M4 I managed to get my hands on. they're very rare in these parts. you're obviously biased anyway, so there's no point in continuing this discussion.

modified L85s actually look somewhat cool with all the picatinnies and the front grip. but that's thanks to their retro design and lack of that stupid carrying handle. I personally think that Stoner's design is nearly impossible to beat, modern versions of the carbine version of his AR-10 (like the ACC-M) are possibly the most thought out rifles: accuracy, handling, ergonomics, easy maintenance etc.

I can never understand the appeal of bullpup rifles. yes, it reduces the overall length while keeping the barrel length relatively big. but everything else about them is so off-putting

here's a nice video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2lxgplJVo8

looks strangely similar to a Humvee

Game of Thrones makes up for that by killing everyone remotely related to Sean Bean, though

watched Sands of Iwo Jima and The Longest Day. now I finally understand why John Wayne was such an icon: he's the only one who can deliver his lines properly. was it a producers' ploy to surround him with bad actors so he stood out or something? not to belittle his acting ability, just funny seeing him in a company of wannabe actors. maybe these movies are bad examples, though. of his work in Westerns I've only seen True Grit

finally watched Mike Leigh's Secrets and Lies, and while it's not as good as Life Is Sweet, it is slow in the beginning, but the scene that resolves the conflict is so powerful it's all worth it. and Timothy Spall is just wonderful.

that's because there's no mystery in them, photographers are eager to show everything they possibly can without diving too deep into the uncanny. it devalues women's bodies, which is good for women's liberation in some sense but bad for men's libido

try Europa Report. a very similar but a better shot movie

it can't be a neutral thing when it's about pretty girls, so it's a good thing then

I don't get the analogy. is that a good thing?

red heads? ok

ooooh, that one, yeah... I really like Saoirse Ronan, I hope she gets to do more serious movies as she matures as an actress. these romantic drama borefests seem like a waste of her talent

The Host is a South Korean monster movie...
