Why come did they have rope attaching their handguns to their bodies?
Dropping when they lost it not
>>29227409
In case they ever ate shit so hard that their pistol went flying away from them.
There are modern versions of these as well.
Why is this even a thread?
>>29227409
Well you fucking foreigner.
It was so he wouldn't lose his fucking gun in battle.
Now git out.
>>29227409
>>29227418
Better question, why don't we attach ropes to our handguns anymore?
>>29227427
no more nazi's left to kill
>>29227427
You fucking retarded or something? Learn to use google.

Dummy cord.
You just ID'd yourself as a non-military person.
>>29227409
To strangle enemies to death with.
Also for repelling
>>29227427
Plenty of people do though
>>29227427
Some do; there's a little loop at the magwell of a M9 to attach a retention wire. Most people who utilize it use a plastic/elastic cord.
>>29227427
Im in the Marines and on duty with a pistol you do attach it to your belt with a rope
>>29227438
I'll take that as a compliment

Oh good. I thought we were backsliding or something.
I've never seen a cop with a gun lanyard though so I just assumed.
RIDF here.
Early 1911 had lanyard loops on every magazine. Because cavalry wanted to reload on horseback.
Imagine the soldier after the battle with several empty magazines trailing and clanking in the wind as he rides into sunset...
>>29227409
so he could 'fern' home!!! heh
>>29227409
its like when the special kids in grade 3 had their mittens attached to their coats via string
>>29227427
>Better question, why don't we attach ropes to our handguns anymore?
So Batman can use his batarangs.
Officers can't be trusted to not lose their weapons.
>>29227427
Because faggots drop their guns, real soldiers don't
>>29229110
>Shit doesn't happen during battle
Come on.
>>29227409
Same reason your mom ties a string on to your mittens.
>>29231093
That's actually the truth.
if you're on a horse, you wouldn't lose it if you had to drop your gun for any reason
>>29227409
>be Soviet posing triumphantly for a picture
>Get shot and killed moments later
Eastern Front not even once.

Repelling who or what?
>>29227427
>>29232028
Why does the RSO have soo many glow sticks during the day?
>>29232028
Those aren't marines.
>>29232071
Probably because there is a night shoot pending, you fucking moron.
>>29232131
Maybe a rave you fukwit!
>>29232131
ooo you sure told me. that doesn't make any sense, why would he carry them instead of leaving them somewhere.
>>29227427
because it gets caught on everything
>>29232187
We do attach, though.
>>29232071
Because they plan on going spelunking after target practice you fucking imbecile!
>>29232094
Marines / Navy WTF is the difference?
>>29232205
>we
I assume you mean in the military.
You attach it so privates don't lose it in the field, (which they do anyways even when it's literally attached to their bodies)
>>29227534
Some police departments still use them. They've proven to be a hindrance in many cases though. There's a reason they're not as common anymore. They get in the way.
>>29232237
IQ is GSG9 though.
