    I don’t think you understand what us “linguists” did in the military. We learned multiple languages to further the goals of our Nation. Mind you those other languages have a very different way of communication. Something people who only speak English don’t understand.

    You see people who speak different languages do so in a context that often times isn’t purely “American”. It’s our jobs as linguists to cut through the cultural barrier. I learned a lot when I was in places like Bosnia and Croatia.

    What I took away from those experiences is that there are a few select weapons I think are important. Outside of those few select weapons everything else is a toy.

    You may want to try to get a handle on English, first.

    I am pretty sure I have lived and/or worked in more countries than you have ever visited.

    What I have learned from my experiences is that everything from a rock to an ICBM has its place and in skilled hands can be something you don't want to face unless you have to.

    Well you’re retired now and I worked for a living so I’ll defer to “chief”.

    Put me in the group that likes wood and steel....and automatic handguns that are easily recognizable like the Luger, 1911, Walther PPK & P-38, Colt .32 , and the Beretta M1951.

    I could not tell one of those blocky, square polymer autos from one another if my life depended on it.

    I also LOVE...LOVE...external hammers.

    But still, I would enjoy popping some caps with you one day.

    If the invitation ever arises, I will bring 200 rounds of 5.7x28 for you as a courtesy.

    I have heard a lot of good about this new weapon of yours.
    I await your range report.
