Its hit or miss even then, but usually better lol
pun intended?
I sure fucking hope they meant to, cuz that joke had me giggling
As a gun autist, fucking real.
this is so me... except i don't own guns i just really like the lore (Gatling my beloved)
this is my exact predicament. I'm super enthused about historical weapons technology more generally (tanks are my thing but firearms up there too) but I live in a nation with comparatively strict firearm laws and I don't really have any problem with that. (SMLE Mk.III my beloved)
What if you wanted to talk about the Panzer 38t, Cromwell and T-34 but half the ones you talk to are just actual wehraboos
yeah, wehraboos are certainly annoying when it comes to tanks and WW2 amateur history in general, though I find they are a dying breed in popular tank discourse. the age of the Tiger is over, the Sherman enlightenment has begun.
Personally, I'm very partial to the earlywar brit and american tanks, but really all interwar-earlywar vehicles are so amazingly scrunkly. The T6 Medium, Light Tank Mk.VIc, M3 Lee, Matilda I and T-28 just tickle me pink.
Iâm a sucker for the T-34. Absolutely well aware of its flaws but Iâm a sucker for mass produced rickety war machines
Hard agree. Might I ask which variant of the T-34 is your preference?
The Sherman, Used by and favored possibly by every single nation in the war.
They always forget the 38t is Chech don't they....
Aye, which is why it should in all henceforth discussions be referred to exclusively by its original title; LT vz.38
It just looks cute to me
I think they were called TNH or smthn in Czech service, & the Swedes actually bought the license to produce them domestically - a bit like the Germans - & called them Stridsvagn S-I/S-II, even turning some of the hulls into Assault Guns with the designation Stormartillerivagn modell 43, a funky lil guy if I do say so myself.
The Germans also had Assault Guns that used the TNH hull as the base, such as that 3-crew one with the 47mm Anti Tank gun.
Me trying to disconnect myself from the larger WW2 German Military buff community cuz I don't want a return to the third Reich I just think the German prototypes are silly.
Same (except the autism part).
I don't know if I'll ever bother getting a gun, but I've always liked the mechanics and design of various types of guns.
Iâm aiming to get a GSG-16 as my first submachine gun (I refuse to call it a rifle, since the standardized naming system is so shit). Theyâve got good enough reviews, and so do the 110-round drum magazines you can get. Altogether Iâm looking at about $600 for the gun plus the large mag plus a cheap holographic sight. And thatâs great, because I live in Canada. This place is quickly devolving.
I never realized this was the distinction I needed to make .o.
Yea! Weâre so much better than those posers, I can tell you facts about almost any gun, not just their âtactical decked outâ ar-15.
Anyway, wanna hear about the CETME Ameli?
Like meeeee
Yeah but they are gay so
Like me
As an autistic gun furry, I can confirm
can confirm
The marine corps diagnosed me with autism so I guess I fall under this
We're the prize :3
can confirm,am an autistic gun furry
Confirmed. I have autism myself and think there should be more attention for autistic people in general, because autism always gets discarded like a joke/mental illness, while all it really did was improve my overall abilities.
Especially autistic gun/tactical furries are some of, if not THE nicest people you'll ever encounter.
Agreed, if they know which bolt carrier groups look like which scifi spaceships they are friending material
i like guns and women owo
Now let's combine them together!:D
thats me :p
Omg marry me!
Badass woman are my favorite!
Literally just please! Peg me!
only if you get me a kickass colorful wedding ring and the ceremony is a mix of romantic and cool :p
You got some style:)
Funnly enough, you are the first person who I met and wanted something rommantic.
Most of the people I usually meet are like "ahh, I am not one for too much rommance."
I wouldn't say that I am incredibly rommantic, but I wouldn't mind if someone showed affection to me in a rommantic way, or the other way around.
Obviously I don't like it when it's too overly drooly to the point where the whole thinf becomes tounge and cheek.
But as a bummer I am going to be one of those guys who doesn't really want to marry. Do you plan on marrige? And if yes, then why?
Thanks :3 and theres a first time for everything. i dont like that hyper romance too but i am a sucker for nights filled with campfires, stargazing and listening to my shortwave radio. and i totally wanna marry so i can stop being a depressed lonely lil shit and spend the rest of my life with someone.
I feel like I need to chime in, as soon as you mentioned nights filled with campfires, stargazing and shortwave radio. I would like to add marshmallows on stick to the mix
Hell yeah:)
too much sugar for me but i am down for other snacks owo
I personally don't really like marrige because it legally ties you to another person. If the two of you want to break up, then you can't just talk it out and decide as grown adults but have to go through a lot of papers, legal actions, not to mention the plus stress this adds, making the decision a lot harder to make as it would also mean that all that money spend on the ring, dress, wedding and the after wedding party was all for nothing.
If I would ever get married, I would do what my father did recently with his new partner, keeping it small, and mainly just to themselves.
we will not be a part of your mad science experiments
Baby 5
Women+guns+furries = strike witches?!?
Based
In my case I'm into guns, into women, and into gays too.
This post has been fact checked by real American Autists đŻ
Having talked to a lot of furries into guns, I find they're not any more hateful than your average furry.
Go into some vrchat public furry worlds you'll find plenty of racist, homophobic, and misogynistic furries who aren't into guns. I don't think being into guns is really anything to go off.
Very true point, there are bigots in every community unfortunately. But I'll say it it's especially sad to see furries who are often misunderstood be so hateful
Looking down on others is an easy way to feel better about yourself, especially if you feel insecure or looked down on yourself.
Basically the same experience as me.
You are correct. I've heard some of the most hateful and vile stuff from the very same people who are both anti-gun and "tolerant"
Guns and misogyny don't scream "freedom" to me
As a gun furry... yeah, it sucks being pulled in with those that look bad, but I'd like to think I do a pretty decent job of being an alright guy to be around. I like the history and science behind firearms, too, not just collecting and shooting them.
I mean, it probably helps that Im likely genderfluid (still undecided 2.5 years later, lmao), pan, and do my best to treat and judge men and women by the same standards except where basic biology steps in. I dunno, I guess more gun people in general need to learn to be nicer people, furries included.
The problem is, the bad people always stick out more then the good. It happens with the furry community too. You hardly see cool furries in the news, because it's easier to find bad ones and get some click money from it.
True. Reality is often disappointing.
Don't forget racist. Being a gun lover is hard in the US of you don't wanna hang out with... those guys
Very true. Especially if you end up with a interest in a set type of gun that's not mainstream. I personally love black powder guns.
i enjoy pre great war to the great war era of guns, itâs got that nice mix of semis mixed with machine guns sprinkled with a dash of sub machine guns or automatic pistols
Pirate looking ahh, return to the seven seas where you belong you plunderer /j
The way I see it, one shot is all I need
Muzzle loaders are the best
You know... many... Well F it.. Liberal minded folk enjoy firearms as well. Me being one of them.
Yup, I'm one of them in a deep red state. Like I said it's hard for me to find gun people that aren't very right wing. Comes with living in a red state with loose gun laws I guess
I second this. John Brown Gun Club for the win
It absolutely isnt a sentiment shared by the majority of the democratic party though, hence the countless number of dogshit laws being passed that are anti gun.
Especially with them calling imported guns "Zombie guns"
No such thing as an Anti-gun law. I live in the most restrictive state in the Union, which SURPRISE SURPRISE also has the LOWEST gun crime rate, and I own 3 guns.
IF you can't deal with a few common sense Gun laws to try to help keep a gun out of the hands of someone who shouldn't get them, then you shouldn't have one. It's not that hard.
Hard unless you like the hard R
Dropped target shooting as a hobby due to this. Didnât even have to set foot in the range to start feeling shitty, just a glance at all the bumper stickers in the parking lot was enough.
Where I live, I wouldn't be able to buy groceries if I went by the bumper stickers lol. But I feel you
I'm white, I have facial hair, and I'm straight-passing. My occasional trips to the range have had some remarkably gross interactions
Luckily I'm black so they just kinda look at me weird but that's about it
Iâm not really sure what you mean like in the us everyone owns guns or at least knows someone that does not sure how racist are brought into this. I will say though you are right donât hang with those guys their dicks.
Truthfully, it is because people don't even know they are racist. You have no idea how often I get a 360-degree change in service between seeing a poorly dressed black man walk in and me opening my mouth with no hint of AAVE.
I've been called one of the good ones multiple times. De facto segregation in the United States only causes echo chambers that can't communicate well with each other. This happens everywhere, BTW, not just gun circles... it's just that the right wing in America doesn't like it when you set any boundaries on what they can say to you. Normally, I can tell people mean well, so ignore it, but it's really common.
And that's not including the patches, oh lord confederate flags and runes everywhere. Idk even simple shit like when BLM was in full swing and the talk at the range was how "those Chicago thugs better not try that down here".
I feel like overgeneralizing a group of people is kinda the main problem most people have with gun people, and you're literally doing that exact same thing against em. Excluding n*zis and the like, MOST people in any group are normal and chill. I feel like a furry should understand and sympathize with this a bit more than most...
You can type Nazis here my man, this ain't YouTube nobody is gonna delete your comment because of bad word.
SWAT incoming.
It may not be youtube, but it is reddit, and reddit is patrolled by mods who may ban you simply because of their own arbitrary preferences and experience no consequence...
internet polarisation if you have like A you must like B and C when person like Q and Z. the internet turn into a never ending shit fight and when your realise people just parrot what everyone else says you learn people on all sides dont know anything
"if youre not with me, you're my enemy!"
"And if you're with me and someone who isnt with me, you're my enemy!"
Sadly from my expirience, most people of every group/community etc. don't understand and sympathize a bit more, if you get what i mean.
Agreed
I completely agree... I mostly have guns to defend myself and my family in a worst case scenario. What is misogynistic about that?
But I guess that being called buzzwords just by having different opinions has became the norm here nowadays.
If you're not a misogynist, he wasn't talking about you. If you don't hear the casual misogyny and racism in the gun community or write it off as jokes, you're not paying attention. Even conservative gun guys will tell you that women get treated differently at the range by certain guys. Just one example.
âMost of them being,â
They said MOST, silly. If you know you arenât misogynistic then no need to be touchy and start rambling about âbuzzwordsâ :3
Are they generalizing? They dont extend thier claim to all furrys that own guns. Not even all gun furrys (which, if im not mistaken, is a more specific group?)
I understand what you're saying, but they did specifically say that most tactical/gun furries are misogynistic. The intent is definitely there.
What? The people who fetishize the military industrial complex and make killing machines their personality aren't always progressive? Say it ain't so!
If you wanna worship the MIC and be progressive you go to noncredibledefense
Hopefully the containment holds this time
Yeah, it's uh... totally holding. You don't have to go check.
Yeah there is no containment breach
Sector is clear
Yup, everything is clear here, no need to check.
ooh an unsupervised fighter aircraft
fuck. Oh well, we tried.
muffled clanking
Im progressive but tell me this isnt cool and silly
Just so much is the embodiment of fuck whatevers in that direction particularly. Human rights and life is cooler then booms and burrs but booms still cool lol.
Metal storm has the most crack pot weapon designs lol. They were also the one behind the 3GL. The grenade launcher that stacked three 40mm grenades on top of each other and fired them electronically.
No its not cool and silly its expensive as f**k.
Oh my gosh, thank you! I was beginning to think I was the only one who didn't like all these gun furry posts. I don't want real life death and violence associated in any way with my cute goofy cartoon animals.
It's really weird being super pro 2A and a furry at the same time. People keep trying to create division making it hard for us all to come together for common causes.
First time I hear this stereotype. Welp, time for me to be mysogonistic
Me, a military furry not really into guns or any of the âtacticoolâ shitâŚ
I mean idgaff what you identify as but I am a gun loving trans gal furry
Yeah lack of self awareness is a disease.
And it afflicts this comment section deeply.
Ah yes, sweeping generalizations.
i feel this with guns in general. damn near every guntuber is a conservative nutcase, so there quite literally is no trans friendly place that also talks about guns.
now if there is a trans friendly gun centric place on YouTube, please forgive me as i haven't found it myself.
So true.. One of my friends is an absolute gun nut, and he got burned reeeeeal bad by his girlfriend years ago and hoooo-boy..
Thatâs really how it is
I'm only into guns cuz I was in the military I promise! Also helps I am not a man
Seems like generalization and confirmation bias.
I meeeeeeeeeeean....it does have a tendency to come with the territory
man, i'd kinda hate to have that reputation
That's why I like to hang out with the tactical trans furs. They're chill.
I don't like guns too much, but medieval weapons rules
I donât like women because I LOVEEEEEEE MEN
Did they miss the whole âwe know what itâs like to be looked down upon so we should raise others upâ memo?
Nope. They seem to have forgotten that they were just one of the loser dweebs who got shit on by the bully popular kids in middle school ig
That's just called "standard online shooter game experience" for ya
Wut lmao
Why must this be a thing? Iâm a furry and I love guns.. simple as that. Will this make me be seen as misogynistic?
Nope. If this doesnât apply to you then đ. Itâs just that a lot of the others Iâve seen will make politics their personality too, and thereâs often a lot of L takes within that
Yeah... I don't like to generalize people by their hobby, but they're weird
I donât think the hobby itself is weird, but it can often come as a package deal with other shitty political takes
We literally pretend to be anthropomorphic animals. We have zero room to talk about being weird lol.
The literal Gravy Seals
P much
I've literally never heard of this stereotype. But I have heard it in other subcultures.
well, looks like a big skill issue for them (the ones that are misogynistic, if google gave me a correct answer)
As a military flight Sim fur I'm moderately offended that there's this reputation
Furry gun gals sounds fun
I actually met with a girl like that, when we went to a local airsoft game together
She was a regular there, ran with ears and tail a few times and folks there called her "Commander Vixen"
Lmaooo I wanna be friends with her she sounds awesome
Ye, she's pretty cool, even if we haven't talked in a while
I don't understand, do you mean it like if somebody likes weapons they are awful towards women ? (that's not how this work's)
The mass generalization is insane lol. As a gun furry in the military, I don't think I've ever met any other gun furry like this
Iâm friends with a few cool tac furs, but the majority of them (at least the ones I see on Twitter) donât seem to see women as equal people
I'm not, I'm pansexual, I don't care about what your gender is
I don't think this is true and it bothers me to see prejudice hit 1,000 upvotes here but whatever
Not all of them, but a lot of them, at least from what Iâve seen on twitter
Twitter is not an accurate slice of the fandom.
Idk man, it seems like Twitter is a major platform for the fandom
Seems but isn't
women & gun
It's happening all over again. So beautiful.
Oh fuck
This is why i post drawings of my oc with his pistol so rarely X3 i hate being lumped in with awful people
I thought tactical furries was what Palworld was.
nah they don't hate women they just like men don't confuse homosexuality with misogyny
I have a 4yo son who I would love to see dressed in one of those cute furry suits (I'm not a furry but I like how cute some costumes look). What is the earliest age for a person to dress like a furry?
Are you sure you're not just buying into a stereotype?
Have you heard what people stereotype furries as?
That's why they are GAY
lol
tactical? like TACTICAL NUKE INCOMING
Nuking my happiness
I'm pretty sure even though I'm someone who likes guns, I'm more likely to get an airsoft gun than an actual one.
Most of them are what-a-wut?
Be the change you want to see in the world I guess.
Speaking of, I wish they'd legalize 5.56 and 7.62 in the EU
Where are you from, those can legally be owned in quite a lot of countries, just not in fullauto
In Spain, I thought it was an EU law banning it like it is with mag size, but apparently it's a national one.
They basically ban "war calibers" (their words, not mine) which include those two and a few more
Those calibers are used for hunting as well
Ok, so I went to check and in Spain anything 20mm and up is banned (which is fair I guess)
.50 cal and up is banned if the gun uses "municiĂłn con vaina de ranura en el culote". Don't know how to say it in english, but it's that slot/indentation all around the bottom of the bullet (which, again, is fair I guess)
and then these ones:
- 5,45 x 39,5.
- 5,56 x 45 (o su equivalente 223).
- 7,62 x 39.
- 7,62 x 51 Nato.
I'd personally like to hunt boars with a semiauto AK if it were legal.
I think I've heard one of the reason for "war calibers" being banned is because European lawmakers were worried about civilians being able to make use of forgotten weapon caches from WW2. A problem Europe may have that America doesn't.
That would make more sense for my country if 6.5 and 7,62x54 were banned, which were the main calibers used in the civil war (to my knowledge)
Maybe 45-70 would work
Are they really, or are they just making jokes? Because nowadays people often lack the ability to tell a joke from reality. If they're clearly not joking however, there's always plenty of gun furs on the good side.
Even if, some jokes just feed into stereotypes and don't really have to be made IMO
A joke doesn't give you an excuse to say anything.
Thanks to free speech, everybody is always allowed to talk and joke about whatever they want.
Social consequence is to be considered though.
Anyone who talks more about how much they can say something instead of just saying it is a bitch and usually prefacing saying something other people might use their free speech to shit on
âNow they donât want you to hear what Iâm about to sayâ Damn maybe itâs stupid
Free speech means the government cannot silence you, not that other people or social platforms won't tell you to shut the fuck up if you pull up with unfunny bigotry and attempt to paint it as "woo dark humour I'm so cool guys"
That's literally what the dude said
Do you know what social consequence means?
muh free speech smh
One of the most important things we have. If that isn't secured, you can soon say goodbye to everything else.
The 1st defines us, the 2nd defends us
If someone fucks a goat 'ironically' as a joke, they're still a goat-fucker, you realize?
Sodomy is hardly comparable to verbal joking around. Which, unfortunately, is to be expected to be the thing they refer to. Verbal abuse towards women is not a joke however and to be treated accordingly.
Sadly I've found that an easy 90% of the time I hear about anything similar people get offended over offensive jokes spoken privately inside friend groups and not outspoken towards people who'd indeed be insulted by it.
I'm saying someone who makes misogynist "jokes" is a misogynist, it's pretty straightforward.
It's unfortunate a symptom of misogyny in the furry community as a whole. Many women don't really feel safe in this community.
So in your world there's only black and white, right? Bad way to view the world.
No but it's pretty straightforward that doing something misogynist, in this instance, is in fact misogynist. That's how words work.
So, all the people who say "Kill the Rich" are also automatically murderers? Because I doubt that.
It is indeed very much not how words work.
Are you being wilfully obtuse?
Here's a very clear example try to follow:
Say you have a woman in your life who is important to you - partner, mother, sister, friend, etc. Say you also have a friend group where people routinely make misogynist jokes. Only ever in private, yes. Perhaps you participate, perhaps you don't.
How do you suppose this woman in your life with whom you have an important relationship is supposed to feel if she ever finds out that you tolerate or are okay with that sort of behaviour, or possibly even engage in it? How do you think it reflects on you as a person?
(Also yes eat the rich.)
I don't judge people based on verbal jokes in private. It would be a different story if they carry that behaviour outwards towards the people who'd be hurt by that.
That is what you don't understand. A joke is always just that, a joke. You'll have to be careful in what context you use it, yes, you should also face ridicule if you fail to respect context and boundaries, but if you make sure that people are out of harms way you should never be afraid about a joke.
Joking about something and believing/supporting something are two different pair of shoes.
What is funny about a misogynist joke if one isn't a misogynist.
What is funny about just saying some outrageous or offensive thing about a group of people, on its own?

thats why you dont go for the gun/tactical furries. you go with the autistic gun/tactical furries instead. theyre much better
