The Nambu is basically the worst gun ever made. People don't even die whem you shoot them with it. They laugh. They laugh at you and your tiny gun.

A good shot from an 8mm will kill you the same way any other handgun will. Of course it has little armor pentetration, but even .45 ACP will bounce off a steel helmet.

The Nambu are aesthetically beautiful (earlier models at least), practical and easy to produce.

But we are not necessarily posting weapons here just because they're *good*. Other reasons may be looks, technology or history. But yea, overall, Japanese WWII fire arms are underwhelming.

I agree on the first part, not completely on the second though. Japanese fire arms, especially the Arisaka 38 and 99, were very efficient weapons. Their quality just dropped a lot over the course of the war.

I have fired most of these guns and the Luger, for instance, is also crap (the trigger pull is awful). But it's an iconic pistol, and it introduced an extremely successful cartridge/caliber.

Personal taste I guess, I love the Luger and always hit my mark with it. I actually prefer it very much to most later German service handguns like the P38. Its overly complex design and the fact that it costs a ton to repair and maintain are a major downer though

It's the eye candy of guns.

In my experience this is quite a deadly weapon:

 

 

Biological Warfare is indeed dangerous. 

 

 

I would say that White Phosphorus is more dangerous:

^ I meant sex

 

You're right. If an evil Rachel Weisz tried to seduce me for whatever nefarious plans she had, no number of guns in the world would protect me haha.

and I meant STD's 

[ruggly]

Well, may as well

 

 

And the plane that was built around it

[KingTony]

That Gatling gun is way underpowered. It doesn't even have the option to fire tiny nuclear warheads.

[ruggly]

Not yet, anyways

Cold one:

Not cool.

Not cool.

Exactly, very, very hot.

Here is my Springfield 1842 .69 rifled musket and my Enfield 1853 .58 rifled Musket, both highly ccurate replicas from the American civil war.- With them I can shoot palm sized groups at 100yds, using real swiss blackpowder. Loads of fun,lots of smoke, huge projectiles and lots of recoil.

Yes. It's a brilliant, classic collector's piece, conversation subject and display item. As a gun, either in the role of weapon or sporting utensil, it's crap. But lethal, of course.

It's shooting properties are mediocre, but where it doesn't perform at all, is carrying readiness & safety and robustness/reliability. The P38 is not superb, but it does get those acts together.

[ME_Fan]

Not cool.

 

FFS man it's like you're trying to ****** me off. While the idea of nuclear weapons is indeed terrifying, and the world is a more fearful place because of them. They have saved countless more lives than they have taken. Take Japan for instance, if America hadn't nuked them, the Japanese had been brainwashed, indoctrinated, and every last man woman and child would have fought to the death. Could you imagine if the US had launched a land invasion? Jeez, it would have been a bloodbath, a massacre, with magnitudes higher casualties. I'm no proponent of nuclear weapons, but I see their merits and respect the protection that they offer. So DON'T YOU DARE try and start lecturing me about good and bad. Especially when other are posting rifles that are put into the hands of African child soldiers, and machine guns that dismember and turn people into hamburger.

 

And honestly I'd be surprised if a mod didn't remove this post, because someone had the balls to just say the bitter, non-PC truth. Ugh.

That's not a given truth though, the question for necessity of the nuclear attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki has been subject of fierce debate and scholastic disagreement from the moments the bombs dropped. Necessary or not, the act itself was repugnant, just like the firebombings of axis cities in the war.

That something has been subject of fierce debate, does firstly and mainly only mean that a lot of feelings are involved. Not really necessarily that the truth is not given.

But I think this is so OT that I think we can drop the subject, if it's cool with everyone.

I really liked to see the fierce battle would happen in Japan itself. So Call of Duty: World at War was longer and more interesting.

The bec de corbin. (crow's beak)

 

 

  

 

BTW, this is how you fight armored opponents, people. Not bashing a metal sword into a metal plate expecting to cause damage. 

 

It's the swiss army knife of polearms. Don't like the spike on this one, though.

But...using a sword like a baseball bat is the ONLY REALISTIC way to fight other people.

 

I don't know what this is, but it's obviously false.

 

Polearms were useless, everyone used swords! Just look at Hollywood!

Now that's a deadly weapon.
