<-- Has no 'combat' experience either. More like a few childish brawls involving a brick to the back of the skull (which is why I'm deaf on the left side, btw).
-So you're on your own if people start shooting at you through cover. I do know that if you let someone with a battle-rifle too close to you, they can send a bullet through a tree-trunk or sandbag and right into the person behind it.

@Error Thompson reproduction?
Even back in the 1940's, the Thompson (all versions) had a known issue of breaking and being an utter pain in the ass to fix when people where shooting back. Especially at night.

Worked great when it worked; a full ammo-drum doubled it's weight up to that of a loaded M1918A4 B.A.R. though.
(.45 ACP isn't much lighter than a .30-06 round, just smaller and MUCH less powerful [has issues penetrating cover])
-It was often fired from the hip because firing it while standing from anything other than a benchrest was an utter pain.
(stick-mags are the exception, which btw, the dovetail-groove complicated reloads but were necessary to keep the magazine aligned before magazine-wells were developed)

Also, due to the machine-gun 'ban' of 1936, privately-owned Thompsons (and replacement parts) are rare since the reproductions weren't allowed to have parts-commonality to the originals and existing ones are nearly non-transferable.

A semi-auto-only version is still pretty deadly in the right hands, though.

Note to others:
A Ford Transit (truck) is a box-van/cube-truck.

*wonders if Prip knows the technique of the messerfecht barfighting technique, AKA: German school of fencing, it involves lots of grappling and a ridiculously heavy sword. Using the leverage and inertia of the sword, it was often possible to twist a person's arm off; getting the hilt to the face still meant a face-full of about ten to fifteen pounds of cold-steel performing blunt-force dental-work.

Well, Langes-Messer, technically it's a knife and not a sword due to how the handle is made (seriously, a minor technicality that meant they were literally EVERYWHERE).

-Also, before I went blind I did quite a bit of archery-practice and shooting-instruction.

This int-check needs more dakka, us two can't hold the line forever, comrade!

Name: Wilson Taggart | Age: 25 | Gender: M

Appearance: Glasses, greatcoat, gloves, boots, scarf similar.
Hair may have grown longer and unkempt, hat may be different [stocking-cap, surplus helmet with a cross on it, flat-cap] or simply not there.
Also included would be a medium backpack, improvised pack-frame, bedroll-pack, and a butt-pack.

Where you from?: Prairie Du Chein, Wisconsin (pronounced "Prairie Doo-Seen", gotta sneak a 'lil French-Eskimo into your dialect)

Personality: Careful and precise, despite a reckless fatalist attitude. His altruistic tendencies have generally meant a good reputation. His wary shrewdness however stems from a long history of people who take advantage of his generosity.

Back Story: Factory-worker and trained first-responder; Taggart is also a bit of a military-reenactor, not only fascinated with various collections, but also the how and why it was used and designed in order to get a better understanding of history while also learning some useful survival-skills.

Weapons: Customized Mosin Nagant, straight-bolt with side-slung scope, butt-pad, slip-on shotshell-holder (5 loops, 10 rifle rds, in pairs), dat bayonet, and full accessories [cleaning-kit, mag-pouches, rifle-sling attached to butt-pack instead of rifle], and about a dozen stripper-clips, a 3/4 length #3 fire-axe, and a folding-shovel.

Vehicle: Well, there was a car. But that ran out of fuel in the first month. Ended up 'liberating' a horse + carriage from an abandoned Amish farm that didn't get the warning in time.

Other: A bit of a history-buff/survivalist. Is moderately deaf and severely blind on the left side. Stocks a rather surprising amount of medical supplies. Enjoy our cuisine, I did mention he knows how to cook, right?

@Foster

Accepted :) Also i love the other vidoes. I found the Texan one a little more offensive but thats since im texan and could say the names perfectly xD lolol jkjk I'm not offended

@themadhatter420

You have no idea how much laughter occurs when an [American foreigner?] fails to understand when the pilot warns that the terminal is going to be a short walk away and it's twenty five below zero.
-Alternately, warning the college-kids during summer-tours that exposed mid-riffs are suicidally-silly.

"But there is nothing below zero!"

Heh, no

My simple explanation is pretend the feeling it is to walk outside in 32 degree weather when only dressed for weather in the 80s. And you *ARE* dressed for freezing temperatures. Windchill is a 2x multiplier.*
-Same goes for just about any video about driving on ice, ever.

*Hence why scarves are awesome at keeping your face/head warm.

That said, I have issues comprehending sustained human life above 98.6 degrees.
-If I have to sweat, I'm doing it wrong up here.

We also have slightly entertaining geography at our parks.
-It's no Grand-Canyon, but that sign ain't lying. <- Note kid leaning on tree.

So that makes for two, maybe three still in this.

This is why it's a good idea to let an int-check ferment.

Separates the people who like the idea and those who were just passing through like cream from buttermilk for a wicked white-Russian vodka.

BTW, Welcome to Dubai, @TheMadAsshatter. Enjoy your eternal stay.
