Wouldn't this be a fairly kickass combination? You get both the reach of a rapier and the cutting power of a wider sword. The cut-&-thrust sword would also be better at parrying heavier blades than a dagger. The ideal length might be around wakizashi/gladius length to make it better at close range. Strangely I have never heard of this combination, even though two rapiers was sometimes used despite seeming obviously inferior.
(A bit of a tangent, but I wish there were a single word meaning "one-handed cut-&-thrust sword")

No because usually, even when you are using two similar weapons, say two sideswords or two rapiers, one is used for defense (usually the one in the non-primary hand) and the other for offense. You wouldn't use both for attack, so for starters you need to know if you want a primary weapon to be a thrust oriented blade or a cut&thrust one and then you chose the pairing accordingly.
Buckler were popular with cut&thrust swords because they are better at defending cuts, while daggers with rapiers because...

Also if you think a swordsmanship thing would be "fairly kickass", yet nobody did it in any sort of decent numbers or even talked about it, not even the late bolognese masters who were exposed to both the use of two sideswords, single cut&thrust swords and rapiers, well it's probably because in fact, it's not that "kickass" and just plain snowflakey to be of any practical use.
People sticked to simple stuff because it worked, it's usually boring stuff, but it's easier...

What would happen if you were standing on top of a submarine and it dived suddenly? Would you be kill?

It's just a gun. It does not possess any special nignog slaying properties. Aside from that it's a gun.

I'm drunk and this isn't strictly weapons related.
Does anyone else hate Alex C., from TFB TV?
At first I thought he had some good content, but after watching his shit for nearly a year, he just comes off as passively abrasive.
There's this psuedo-genuine persona he's trying to put on. Like he's an old college buddy that you spoke to a few times at parties, but makes your relationship out to be as if you were life long friends.
He doesn't nothing outright offensive or annoying. The content of his videos is fairly barren...

Alex was a trip on /k/ for a long time pham. Not alot of people like him
>>29941338
>>29941323
he is a trust fund baby, who use to tripfag with his fathers collection years ago on /k/ and shits on any movement to increase the common mans second amendment right. especially when the hollis vs holder came out he complained and pretty much agreed with and loved the idea of the machine gun registery to stayed closed.
>>29941323
Lots of people will agree Alex C is a pretentious douche. I won't lie, I'm jelly of his Daddys guns, but he acts so high and mighty about it.
And MAC is ultra-pretentious and takes himself too seriously and cannot take any criticism.

At what point should one buy a gun safe? I live in a studio apartment in a gated apartment complex, and there's not a ton stopping someone from breaking in, but at the same time it seems like most safes that are worth owning cost thousands or tens of thousands of dollars.
Is there any cheaper way to protect my guns?
Are cheap, $300-$500 safes worth getting at all?
t. Poorfag
I saw a pretty decent safe at Costco for I think $500. 450 pounds and no exterior hinges, you might could check that out, I'm thinking about getting one myself.
I live in an apartment too on the 3rd floor and I want one too, I'm just worried about one falling through the floor and killing someone's kid or something.
>>29941234
anyone who is after your guns and is even halfway serious about it can get to them unless you have a pretty serious safe.
you could go to home depot and buy $10 worth of tools which would let you cut or bust 90% of locks, cables, or safes.
and even if you buy a real safe, it's just one layer of security. if you give someone enough time, they can get through anything.

Presumably the Ocean's 11 aren't coming after my $3000 in military surplus and walmart ammunition, but it'd make a pretty neat score for some enterprising urban youths in my area and that's who I'm worried about.
I at least want something that's going to stand up to the crowbar they used to get into they probably apartment in the first place.
In Canada, do stays in psychiatric hospitals affect my eligibility for weapons now that I am of age?
I was in a mental hospital for 4 weeks while I was 16. I'm fingerprinted, dna'd, photographed, the whole works.
I didn't attack anyone, just a weird drug overdose that my parents overreacted and I'm permanently fucked. I'm 22 now so this is old news but I would like to own weapons but I'm thinking my chances are next to nothing correct? Can anyone elaborate on my chances?

Which color plate carrier would you go with for SHTF?
On one hand black has more of a LEO vibe and would probably draw less attention here in Houston, but on the other Ranger Green is pretty neutral and could also blend the city's surrounding vegetation.
I would probably just throw this over a shirt and jeans by the way.

Ranger green.

I used to find all kinds of weird shit in the woods and bayou next to my house.
One time my friend and I found 3 doors (like front doors to a house) propped up against trees with burnt yellow pentegrams spraypainted on them.
Another time we found a baby doll with its eyes plucked out hanging from a tree. A bunch of other plastic limbs were places on other branches and twigs which was also pretty damn weird.
Another time we found a swamp literally MASSES of vultures. It had to have been hundreds of vultures...

Why do manufacturers extend the grip as well with extended mags? It looks like shit and has no purpose on full sized guns unless your gonna double hand it like a long sword.

Missouri to get Constitutional Carry Soon.

Even though it hasn't gone through Nixon, you know he's going to veto it because anti-gun Democrat, but it passed BOTH houses with more than the 2/3 needed to override the veto.
Anyone else in Missouri excited about this?

That's not surprising.
Wake me up when California or New York gets Constitutional Carry and I'll buy everyone a steak and lobster dinner at the next nugget fest...in fact I'll do a tour de nugget fest and go to every nugget fest in the United States State by State and celebrate California or New York getting Constitutional Carry and feed everyone like kings.
