All AMERICAN troops should be able to carry firearms on base to protect them from Islamic agents of Saudi Arabia or Islamic infiltrators.

I am in no way a gun banner but this FNH’s ammo has a velocity higher than most rifle bullets.

Then you no nothing about firearms. A handgun is the weak sister to any rifle regardless of caliber. Do some research before you make a fool of yourself again.

No, misconception, maybe out of a FN90, but their is an appreciable loss of muzzle velocity from the pistol barrel. The particular round was designed as a smg/carbine round for European battlefields ,that could penetrate the body armor of the 90s.Some FN Products: FS-2000 (5.56), P-90, Five Seven Pictures, Images and Photos FN Pistol FN90 and FS2000(5.56)

In the 80’s in the 82nd that was a no. We weren’t trusted by our ‘command’. In Group, that was a no, but we were expected to disobey it and not get caught by anyone outside of Group. That was trust, up and down the line.

Today? PC, lawyer infested, layered over the usual officer/managerial beaurocrat culture.
