Not alot you can do unless they break a law wearing unauthorized shit in public. You can find out who they are , perhaps post an editorial in their local paper, call their boss, or my favorite, call the Utility company and tell them you are him and you are leaving town and want your power turned off...

Ok, I did have a muzzle break on an AK fly downrange. Haha. It only went about 30m, so after 45 minutes , I found the fucker. It was one that had a set alan screw in it which I did not lock-tite. I fixed the problem by drilling sideways through the top and bottom of the brake and putting grooves in ...

Ok, Ranger Doc, the .45 is far better than my bare hands. As I've said before, any weapon is better than no weapon, whether it is a rock, knife, e-tool, or even an empty .45 used as a club. I still think H2H is a worthwhile thing to train on, especially for troops that operate "out there" ...

Ranger Doc, Did you ever have to fish that 1911 out of your bag to fight an imminant threat? With all due respect, Ranger Doc, H2H comes into its own when some fucking badguy has his hand on your .45. Your post just seems disrepectfull, IMO. H2H is a valid tool, especially under the pretense of acqu...

Charlie, "In the worst case scenario, "? Being a Ranger site, the worst case scenario is not a barfight. The situation for H2H in a military setting are differant. It is when your position is being overrun. It is also 4 days after your team was compromised and you are out of ammo, your rad...

In my ever so fucking humble opinion Ranger H8train, knife fighting will accomplish the same as bayonet fighting with the additional confidence of the soldier feeling he does not need a rifle to be a lethal foe (as in a bayonetted rifle). A guy on E&E can scam a butcher knife , and if trained in...

Well, that pussy Seagal said in the 90's "I can beat anyone." So, the next month, in Black Belt Magazine, 10 guys stood up and said "bring it on fat boy" Among them was "Superfoot" Bill Wallace, Chuck Norris, Royce Gracie, Rorian Gracie. Seagal quickly jumped on the STF...

By "back in the day", do you mean in fuedal Japan? Either way, a quarter staff is a two ended impact weapon, not a spear. A bayonet could be considered a short spear coupled with an impact weapon as far as buttstrokes are concerned. It does require 2 hands to use effectively, so, against a...

In my Viking training, we use spears and knives(seax). Now, the spear being similar to a bayonet, the seax being a knife; the spear guy gets his ass kicked more often than he wins. Why? Because with minimal training a guy can dodge the initial spear attack and close with him and cut him up. A spear ...

I haven't been deployed in the desert or anywhere else. However, desert is all about not breaking the plane of the horizon. Nam guys had to blend in to a place with maybe a 50m viewable area, which is very difficult. Desert requires never ever breaking the plane of the horizon. Only for LRS/LRRP typ...
