    The image is presumably a Russian PMC in Mali. Same PMC that is known to have killed and tortured a lot of civilians in Mali.

    Camo is russian, weapns are russian, no Flag patches, but a very round and wagner like patch in the background. I say yes they are Russians. Combined with the fact that this is clearly in Mali (tone of the earth and style of the structures).

    So truly thing about this post, and if it makes sense, cuz if one wants to dab on them americans the picture could just show a very high armed american civilian instead of a person that is maybe linked to war crimes.

    You are not immune to propaganda.

      To be fair, the kind of people the meme is making fun of tend to map pretty closely to the domestic terrorists that go on mass shootings because they have to interact with anyone other than a cis white male.

      So the picture being of an actual war criminal kinda works, in a dark way.

    Do people really use suppressors on automatic weapons? I thought that was a video game thing.

        OK, sure I guess so for like an assault rifle, but a belt fed machine-gun?

        How many rounds can a machine gun put out before that beer-can gets as bright as the sun and starts to droop like a limp dick?

          You’d be surprised. I think the last torture test I saw had 700-1000 through before the can melted off, but that was just holding the trigger down. You’re risking melting the barrel at that point, too. Remember, 3 sec bursts is the rule. Found one.

    Clearly written by a European, we buy 2 liters. One liters are uncommon outside of fast food places.
