    Grandpa was drafted 80 years ago and told me some stories when I was a kid. I now have all the knowledge of a seasoned officer

      My grandpa served on a liberty ship and showed up just in time to hang out on various islands in the South Pacific.

      So yeah, I feel qualified to discuss the finer points of SSBNs.

    Half the guns I own are because of the Metal Gear Solid series.

          The hk usp mk23 mod 0 is decidedly not cheap nor small. Iirc a legit low use correct era version will cost you like 7k ATM.

            When I had looked years ago, just a basic one was $5k. It was the first time I looked up the price of a firearm that wasn’t a Walmart rifle/shotgun. I expected a few hundred; not a few thousand.

            This was brand new, of course. Maybe a used one would be cheaper. Especially if it was used in a crime 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Excuse me, I may be a sandwich artist but my decision to call the F-35 an embossing boondoggle is based on countless minutes of research.
