  • Meanwhile, 5.56 is plenty if you are accurate.

    And, the US military is currently adopting the MCX Fury as their new standard issue rifle.

    That thing fires the .277 fury cartridge that is way better at armor penetration than 5.56 ever could be.

    And the reason .308 isn't used as much for most military issued rifles is more to do with recoil and capacity than anything to do with the ballistics.

    A .308 would be far better for killing literally anything than 5.56, but is mostly for use in semi-auto marksman rifles and some snipers. Where accuracy of first shot matters more than volume of fire.

  • A machine gun, traditionally, is a fully automatic firearm in a rifle format.

    Think light machine guns (M249, PKM) or a sub-machine gun (MP5, P90)

    A machine pistol isn't technically a "machine gun" despite the name. In fact, the classification of machine pistols is a debated topic even now.

    In many places, they are classified as any other pistol. In others, they considered a form of PDW or Personal Defense Weapon.

    But, PDW can sometimes refer to a specific class of SMG like the P90. Basically, a compact firearm with a cartridge around 6mm or so. Which the P90 fires a 5.7mm round.

    Its complicated. And we should not be painting all firearms with the same brush.

  • Keep thinking that. Meanwhile most people here wouldn't be able to fight off someone with a knife.

    It takes size and muscle, shooting the attacker takes a single trigger pull.

    You may not like to hear it, but guns aren't going anywhere. Maybe if we stop making out gun owners to be some raging lunatics. Then they may be more likely to give them up.

    This is all pointless anyway.

  • Chlorine Trifluoride is a better oxidizer than Oxygen itself. Hell, the germans in WW2 tried making self igniting flamethrowers with the stuff. But stopped because it was too nasty to work with.

    At that point, they might as well just spray it directly on people. Screw using a fuel to ignite when the trifluoride is enough to set fire to literally anything. Even wet sand can be burnt by it.
