those black hipster glasses?
Like these or did you have something else in mind?
those black hipster glasses?
Yes
I read every one of those books.i have no idea why they give these weird ass books to grade schoolers to read, but i did read it (it's a real series, yea not a singular book)
"F–cking hell. Jesus. Get away from me, you f—ing crazy, f—king thing "
Er shit, sorry, I didn't think this through. Could you toss an amod tagging into the dumping ground? it being in a thread I have watched doesn't help (not getting amod tag notifications)
Are you sure you're actually Amod ?
Unfortunately I am. Thanks for going to the trouble
This reminds me of "accidental discharge" in the military; where someone "accidentally" shoots their weapon (usually deployed, sometimes at a range).
Except there's no such thing as an "accidental discharge." It's a negligent discharge, as in, you were completely negligent in your responsibility of wielding a weapon that can kill someone.
Same thing with a vehicle that weight several tons and can go 100 mph.
I think I've said this before on this forum, but the unit who relieved my unit in Ramadi in 2008 had multiple negligent discharges in the first week of the RIP, one with a fucking MK19.
Accident and negligent are a fun venn diagram when you assign blame. There's a difference between me accidentally loading the dishwasher badly so bowls don't get cleaned well, versus negligently putting sink dish soap in the dishwasher instead of dishwasher detergent.
IDK about y'all Gravel or Big Phoenix but even an ND into a clearing barrel was going to straight up demote you in most cases when I was in Iraq 2006-2008. If you ND into a clearing barrel anywhere it was just paperwork and you'd get smoked and shit sure. Only once did I see someone ND not in a clearing barrel and I only ever saw 4 NDs personally.
The one time, a room of like 40 people we were cleaning weapons and hanging out in the bunkroom in Baghdad. Dude ND's in the middle of the room... and somehow manages to not hit any of us. The First Sergeant walks up takes the guys M4 then butt strokes him right in the face with it. Him and a platoon sergeant drag that dude out by the scruff of his neck and we didn't see his ass for like two days.
He had to, among other things, exercise till he puked, platoon sergeant straight beat the shit out of him and dig his own grave twice and sleep in it. This was like November 2006.
ND is outright impossible if you are not a retard shitbird.
I've heard enough stories and seen enough, "cover up" to believe that some dumbasses have killed people with them during the Iraq period. My favorite story that I heard many times was that in 2003 a dude doing Mess Headcount got killed because he asked and officer if his weapon was clear. The dude said yeah and pointed it at the guy's face and killed him because it wasn't. I am like 50/50 on that being true but I personally believe it because I heard it from way too many people who were actually in Iraq in 2003.
I know for a fact that the National Guard ND'd an AT4 in Kuwait in 2004. I read the incident report on it. Didn't kill anyone but it blew up some shit.
It was, of course, done by a National Guard Captain and I never learned if he was punished for it.
AT4 (rocket launcher for you filthy civs) has literally 3 safety mechanism you need to do before you can fire it. Nonetheless....

How the fuck can someone in the military ND ever given any retard with even a room temperature IQ and a hunters safety course would never fucking do that.
