I want a shotgun like that, but with the tube mag and pump action as long as the barrel so that I have to unshoulder the rifle, hand it off to someone, pump, then reshoulder to fire the next shell
Paras are a legitimate target, pilots that bailed out are not, even if they were you would want to capture them because they are officers by default and tend to have troves of intel in them. Not to mention that they are way behind the frontline most of the time. You'd be moronic not to capture pilots to at least trade them for 10x the pow's
not russian ones, russian ones are just moronic alcoholics who have as many flight hours as the guy working mcdonalds counter. Just the guy working the counter gets paid way more.
It’s technically not a war crime if it’s against paratroopers but is for downed pilots as others said. Plus, if I say I was shooting at the plane and they all body blocked me who’s to know any different.
It's not a war crime. Paratrooper is not trying to evacuate from a downed airplane and they are counted as active combatants. Where the hell did this urban legend even come from?
If I had 10 minutes notice, I would probably try to cobble together a DIAS and grab my D-60 mags to perform some impromptu AA and try to grab their shit like a loot airdrop.
>Where the hell did this urban legend even come from?
Because they equate the helplessness of parachuting to escape death with the helplessness of parachuting with the intent to start shooting the second you land. It would be like not being allowed to shoot unarmed APCs because the troops can't return fire from the inside.
>You are not allowed to shoot armed invaders while they are dangling on a parachute, about to shoot and kill you and your family the second they reach the ground.
Okay then
>It’s a war crime to shoot paratroopers in mid air
No mercy is expected between Russian forces and European partisans. All captured Russians will be burnt alive. How can you not know this? Did you miss ww2 in Russia?
It's frowned upon to shoot a pilot after they've ejected. Paratroopers are perfectly valid targets until after they've laid down their arms and surrendered.
Dunno why they had so much trouble with that septsnaz guy they captured. Just yelling questions at him. They had him hog-tied -put his feet in the campfire.

In virtually every large scale para drop ever done, there have been losses due to flak. Nearly all of them are from the planes not individual parachuting soldiers, obviously their most vulnerable point is when they're all stuffed in fuel-laden tin cans. Against a modern opponent a contested drop is basically suicide, air defense is too good. However, the thing that makes or breaks drops is whether they can hold out long enough for reinforcements. Market Garden, Crete, and Hostomel Airport were all made or broken by the presence (or lack thereof) of backup to secure what the paratroopers have taken.

I think 243 is the flattest shooting cartridge I have.
No idea how shooting up at faraway targets works, but I figure that'll give me the best chance of figuring it out.
>Look out window, see them parachuting into the nearby cornfield >Laugh, knowing my schizo farmer neighbour is currently harvesting corn with his combine, and keeps a shotgun in the cab >Help him hose it down afterwards
They’ll drag you around as a favors b***h, frick every woman you know, laugh at you and make fun of you in a different language, sleep on your couch, eat your food and kill you. Nobody in the world cares about a pudgy American homosexual.
Laugh at the poor frickers because there ain't anything resembling a clear landing zone within sight of my apartment. Like, seirously, trying to drop anywhere around me is just a recipe to have like 90%+ of your guys be injured or killed trying to land.
>see paratroopers >Wonder why the 101st airborne is at the mountain pass here and not in the capital icing the commieBlack person president. >Figure they must have already bribed the airforce contigent at the airport and the local garrison. >Await the rest of the army to show up, prepare to sell overpriced goods to the gringos
I bet those Orbital ATK self ranging airburst shells for the mk44 would absolutely frick up some airborne. Shit scared the bejeesus out of me just seeing it open fire on entrenched positions.
Get some and get some semi-free gear, cause it's small town Texas and we're probably about as armed as they are, assuming they don't surrender to the assload of angry rednecks with guns that would be surrounding their dz.
Imagine the ATF seethe at 300k+ funs getting acquired by civilians that 100% are not turning them in. It's like the Alaska threats early on. The fricking wildlife would repel them in some places.
Since the area around me is heavily fricking wooded i guess ill go around all the poor frickers stuck up in the trees and repeat the line below till someone takes me up on it >Ok, here's 200 dollars, a pair of civies, and a DL that had a rather unfortunate stain on the picture i'm willing to sell for one PKM or a pair of SVDs I'll even cut you down for free
Smile. My windows have sea view and northern parts of Baltic Sea is cold enough in late September that they either all drown immediately or soon after getting hypothermia.
Chill and play vidya seeing it's 11pm here, tomorrow I drive down to the wineries and ask for all the nitric acid they have in stock, then I drive to the concrete supplier and take all the sulfuric acid they have after that it's off to the health supplements store for all the Erythritol they have.
Then I retreat to my shed for a week.
Its funny when you think about it really. For years we listened to Russians go on about 7 days to Paris and there are actually more civilian owned guns in Europe than there are Russians that's before you even get to cops or the military, that's just hunters, sport shooters, collectors, gangsters etc
There are 15 million legal and illegal guns in France.
The Russian military is about a million people active including desk pilots barracks twinks and rear admiral stacies.
The EU could swallow the entire Russian army whole within a week leaving not a trace, like quicksand. Here's hoping Putin goes completely insane and sends his conventional forces into the EU and UK. Free guns.
There is a reason he says nooks twice a week now, he knows him conventional forces aren't a threat to NATO at all. I think Italy + Greece would have a decent chance against Russia without international support.
In the closing days of 2021, a little-known Greek special-operations unit received NATO's highest readiness qualification.
Evaluators from the NATO Special Operations Forces Headquarters (NSHQ) traveled to Greece and put the country's elite special operators through the wringer.
The Special Paratroopers Section, Ειδικό Τμήμα Αλεξιπτωτιστών (ΕΤΑ), the tier-one special-operations unit of the Hellenic Army, not only passed with top marks but also achieved the highest possible rating.

It’s a war crime to shoot paratroopers in mid air
This is false. Paratroopers are valid since they are landing with intent to invade. It is bailed out pilots you are not allowed to shoot mid-air.
Not a war
they only count as warcrimes if you are active duty
Paras are a legitimate target, pilots that bailed out are not, even if they were you would want to capture them because they are officers by default and tend to have troves of intel in them. Not to mention that they are way behind the frontline most of the time. You'd be moronic not to capture pilots to at least trade them for 10x the pow's
This. Bailed out aircrew can be shot after landing only if they refuse to surrender.
Also not a crime to shoot marines who abandoned ship but it is a crime to shoot navy crewmen.
not russian ones, russian ones are just moronic alcoholics who have as many flight hours as the guy working mcdonalds counter. Just the guy working the counter gets paid way more.
Do I look like a soldier?
not a warcrime, stupid ass Black person
It's not a warcrime if you had fun doing it
it's not the geneva conventions that matter, it's the widespread international support you garner along the way
It’s technically not a war crime if it’s against paratroopers but is for downed pilots as others said. Plus, if I say I was shooting at the plane and they all body blocked me who’s to know any different.
it's not a war crime it's a Special Military Operation crime
Only a crime if you get caught 🙂
Is that some sort of challenge? Because I can commit WAY more war crimes than you bro
is it a warcrime if civilian does it?
It's not a war crime. Paratrooper is not trying to evacuate from a downed airplane and they are counted as active combatants. Where the hell did this urban legend even come from?
If I had 10 minutes notice, I would probably try to cobble together a DIAS and grab my D-60 mags to perform some impromptu AA and try to grab their shit like a loot airdrop.
>Where the hell did this urban legend even come from?
Because they equate the helplessness of parachuting to escape death with the helplessness of parachuting with the intent to start shooting the second you land. It would be like not being allowed to shoot unarmed APCs because the troops can't return fire from the inside.
so?
what are you gonna do about it?
wrong plus rules of war do not apply to either side during am insurgency
Ok.
War crimes only apply to soldiers
Watch as I get my Flakpanzer Gepard not to shoot down planes but to shoot at dvd boys.
Man, good thing I'm not enlisted, can't be a war criminal if I'm not a warrior.
if they paradrop on my property they're fair game aren't they?
>You are not allowed to shoot armed invaders while they are dangling on a parachute, about to shoot and kill you and your family the second they reach the ground.
Okay then
Good thing I'm not a soldier and subject to crimes of war.
>It’s a war crime to shoot paratroopers in mid air

Has any paratrooper dropping ever been intercepted by conventional air defense like flak guns? If so, are they effective in preventing their drop?
