Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I did my training on the Beretta M9 and the Mausberg 500.
Neat, the M9 is a good choice, and 9mm is plentiful and cheaper than 12 gauge.
Meh. Its just what I was trained on. I've never been an enthusiast.
Hold on, you were trained on a shotgun and a handgun? No rifle? Are you a cop?
No, we trained M16 as well, but spent way more time on M9/ shotgun. My assumption was always that our job was just to be targets in the case something actually happened. I also trained 50 cal.
I'm interested if you can figure out what service I was in based on what I've told you so far.
I mean, in the US I'm pretty sure only Navy deals with shotguns, I think to prevent hull penetration? Coasties might for the same reason, but I've never hung out with any
Without going into profile history, and assuming American, I'm guessing a land based service, either the Army or Marines. Seeing as the Marines had M16s longer than the Army did. I'm going with Marines.
That said, I have a hunch you might be European somehow. Maybe Germany from how you misspelled Mossberg? You'd have to be NATO, but I'm not super knowledgeable about the German services.
Nope. My secret is safe. I'll give another hint. Those were the only fire arms we carried underway, and they were mostly considered a joke. Especially the 50cal.
MP
Not even close.
Well was a guess lol
The 50cal is a dead give away (imo).
