Last time I checked, London had a huge problem with teenage gangs running around stabbing people. At least we use ours responsibly!

must of been a few years ago, knife crime has been on the decline recently. plus kids get stabby cos they can't get shooty.

last time i checked the usa had a problem with teenage gangs running around shooting people. at least we use our guns responsibly!:cheers:

when i worked as a studio assistant i carried a leatherman, hardly ever used it... in a bikeshop i carried a park tools allen key set, no need to carry a blade. in a warehouse, if i needed a blade, i'd get one. no one with half a fucking braincell would use a knife to open a box, too easy to damage the goods. all you need to do is use your hands. working on a building site (construction to the americans) i never needed a blade. power tools, hods, barrows, yeah. knives? nope. as a kp (kitchen porter) i never needed a knife. same for working in a pub, shoe shop, paper boy, cycle messenger and all the other bollocks jobs i had to do as a kid. never needed a knife.

but if you need one, fair play. i never have. i've never lived in suburbia, i've always had the convenience of living in a city or on a farm. i guess it is different for you lot.

maybe if we could combine hipsters with guns and fixies, we'd make the world a better place.

Would you have flame throwers, land mines, nerve gases back in common use? Even weapons of war have some degree of humanity to them in their design.
If you shoot someone in the right place you can kill them with pretty much any weapon, from a catapult upwards, making every shot potentially fatal with expanding or fragmenting bullets seems pretty dark to me.

I think alot of it is to Market weapons to the hobby Market, such as the gun keen folk above.

the military often adjust thier weapons to the particular theatre, political pressure or common feelings towards conflict. Hence the British army switching from 303's to NATO ammo in ireland.

It's all about the Barbour tweed clothes, what better way to instill a natural rank of superiority.

gotta be proper old school though. frayed check shirt collars and jackets at least 20 years old. none of this new money stuff.
