War would be so much cooler if the only weapon were semi automatic pistols
>>64459884It would end up similar to the old lines of men in a line shooting at each other unto the one with the most men won the battle.
>>64459909No way, the volume of fire from a single man is way too high to things to regress to line infantry tactics. It would be mass skirmishing with a focus on maneuvre due to range restrictions
>>64459884This is already happening, it's called Los Angeles
>>64459884You couldn't have semi-automatic pistols without the tech and desire to develop a version capable of engaging your enemy outside of their effective range even if the trade off was having to use both hands to... now hold on a minute there
>>64459957Well yeah no shit, that's why it's an arbitrary restriction
>where is your god now?Seems like shooting from longer range will let me kill your guys and they won't be able to hit me.You're probably imaging kino CQB so by banning weapons, you better mean high explosives and all incendiaries as well as rifles and MGs because if we have so much as grenades, we're not going to set foot in your favela until it's burning or blown up and you come out with a white flag.If we have to take your position, we'll use bounding sharpshooters suppressing you and adapt or invent pistol-launched grenades to provide a walking barrage that you can't respond to.If you rush, we just pick you off from outside your effective range with pistol sharpshooter chads.Yes I know this is a revolver, it's not integral to the function though and scope mounts for reciprocating slide guns exist.
>>64460505Now I think we need a scope and adapter as well but shit's coming together here.Add in a drum mag and maybe an assistant to keep the new drums coming.Obviously we'll put a glizzy switch on this.Perfect for suppressing your shit hole while my boy saunters up to your carefully prepared killzone and starts pulling from a bag of grenades to lob through the window.
>>64459884If everyone wore full soft body amour suits, people would have to get close and wrestle to shoot the gaps. It would be like freaking Dune or late medieval knight combat
>>64459953>This is already happening, it's called Los AngelesLol
I give you pistol based ranged cavalry.
>>64459884I always used to insist we play with the "pistols only" setting on GoldenEye for N64
>>64460577>full soft body amour suitsIT'S 5.7'S TIME TO SHINE AT LAST
>>64460638You get jams
>>64462030Sounds like a gunner's mate's problem to me.
>>64459884Wars are sorta bullshit in general. We should just get politicians to duel each other mano-a-mano at high noon.
>>64462030I will counter them with peanut butters
>>64462030You carry a backpack full of reserve pistols to switch to with all the weight savings from not having MGs and rifles
>>64462273>You carry a backpack full of reserve pistolsIt's a mounted pistol anon, see >>64460638The assistant glock gunner clears the jam.
Fuck yeah, and instead of straight white men fighting and dying for the most part, it was black lesbians insteadUber rad war, SICKKKKKKKKKKThat would be cool
