dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

M320 single shot grenade launcher

Seeing the grenade rounds clued me in to this not being an smg

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/M320_Grenade_Launcher_Module

Definitely a different stock added to it though

They use it for CS gas and beanbag rounds, they're not using high explosives for crowd control (yet).

"less lethal", not "non lethal", just less ... you know ... for the civilians

speech-l

stuff

You can see the 40mm barrel through the right side of the frame, it swings out to the left for loading.

I see what you mean. What threw me off was the scope attachment on the rail

[–] Gucci_Minh@hexbear.net 11 points 4 days ago

The folding handle on the front was what fooled me, that made it the classic mp7 silhouette

[–] buttwater@hexbear.net 14 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Definitely something from H&K (heckler & koch). They make the MP5 among other machine pistols

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 10 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I think it looks like an MP7. Looking it up it says the capitol police use a variant called the MP7A1

[–] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

MP7A1 with what appears to be a UMP-45 folding stock

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

what a fucking unstylish nerd

[–] Gucci_Minh@hexbear.net 13 points 4 days ago (1 children)

P90 once again proven to be the superior pdw in aesthetics and function.

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 10 points 4 days ago (1 children)

and function

Wouldn't want to reload it in a hurry in a fight.

[–] Gucci_Minh@hexbear.net 10 points 4 days ago

I guess that's why they give you 50 per mag.

It's not that bad once you get used to it though.

Gun nuts

Can I use that term in c/guns if I have a question or will people get mad? I always use a term like "gun people" which is kind of lame but it can't be misunderstood.

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 19 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Thats a good question. I usually have gone with that because in my local there's a lot of those folks here, and I don't want to be shot for calling them my usual favorite slang term for them which is "gun fuckers"

I think that's all of us considering the price of ammo these days

[–] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 3 points 3 days ago

Alpha Sierra if you will.

[–] john_brown@hexbear.net 17 points 4 days ago (2 children)

excuse me, we prefer "people of gun"

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Hmm... I think I'll use People of the gun - what's this thing? as the title of my next c/gun post.

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 12 points 4 days ago

People of the gun

My second favorite RAtM song.

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 4 points 4 days ago

People of powder

I wanted a "basic long gun" in the photo like I saw at some Bluesky posts. I think the goons in the photos were at a DC Metro stop. But - as usual - google was garbage. And I couldn't use Bluesky because I hide posts to remove clutter and doing so 100% hides the posts. It's annoying as hell.
