Ridiculous things your military does

[Cresilia]

The Republic of Cresilia Army maintains one regiment (The 11th Special Regiment) that is armed solely with Nerf Guns. They are more of a.....friendly force. They have fun though.

Not very deadly.

[The Anglo-Saxon Empire]

Even so, and there are more problems with that approach. The needles would be useless against most modern armies, the majority of which employ body armor, meaning you'd have to train the men you deploy to achieve some very difficult shots, and regularly.

I hope you don't wind up in a war, or even in an especially dangerous peacekeeping situation. To expect soldiers, any soldiers, to go in thus equipped and trained is truly ridiculous.

The penetration of the needle itself the issue we face; the weaponised syringes we deploy use a razor sharp edge, and most modern body armors aren't designed to counter an extra long, meant for penetration knife going at 400 yards a second.

The problem our military faces is, in all honesty, lack of devotion. Not killing your opponent is much less thrilling than an actual kill, so the adrenaline among our troops is quite low. We've even deployed Adrenaline pills to counter this, but we've not enough pills for all our troops. As such, we're also looking to adopt a Super Soldier's program, expected to be completed in a few years or so; but that's a different story.

You honestly have no understanding of human biology and little understanding of weapons.

Humans don't get adrenaline because they find something thrilling, they can have an adrenaline rush for multiple reasons, fear, pain, excitement, as long as they are psychologically human your soldiers won't need adrenaline pills. Also, super soldiers is a retarded concept, because no matter how good they are they can still be killed by artillery like a normal soldiers, now some sort of super general would be a better idea.

Also, a hollow syringe wouldn't have the mass to penetrate armour and would pretty much just get smashed into a small brick of metal, explosions kill people with a shockwave, the sheer force of it pretty much turns your insides into mush, solid blocks of material still have massive amounts of kinetic energy, and the collapse of buildings would obviously kill the people inside, also, rubber bullets can easily kill, especially if you are hit by multiple rounds a minute. As an added note, the fact that your bullets are less likely to kill makes machine guns mostly useless being that the soldiers have nothing to fear.

Maybe yours and mine should meet up sometime. We do have a government sanctioned "Nerf Brigade." meant for fighting those hooligans we always see on American television.

First, I never said our soldiers don't experience adrenaline natrually at all, just most of the time; our country being medically minded, death isn't a topic that creates fear. Seeing the enemy for my troops creates little fear, if any, and ergo, little adrenaline. I'm quite aware of the multiple causes of adrenaline, but, the two most common on the regular battlefield are missing, so many of our finest lack adrenaline.

I also recall saying that we have Weaponised syringes. they aren't just, glass tubes with a needle and plundger in a rifle, not at all. They're somewhat resemblant of bullets, just, not. I'd post specs, but I'm at school, and they're at home.

As well, I believe I never stated that we don't kill anyone ever. If a syringe hits someone in a vital vein, grazes a place like your neck, or if something like our rubbet bullets kill someone, we don't care. It's intended to minimise casualities, not eliminate them.

Machine guns keep us from getting rushed. Plain and simple.
If you have anyother type of complaint (There are many, if you look for them.), I don't care. It's a fictional army, in a region of one, on a website.

I'd like to see those specs, once you have some time. A hollow projectile is going to have serious problems, weaponized or not. Either it will be just as lethal as a bullet, or it will be almost useless.

As to the issue of realism? Yes, this is a fantasy game, but good luck finding anybody who doesn't call BS if you fight 'em.

[Lubyak]

We maintain 3 divisions (so around 3000) T-600 Mamluk Urban Pacification Vehicles. They are ridiculouslly overseized, overgunned and overarmoured tanks that can barely move faster than 5~10 mph, and spend a good 70% of their time in maintenance bays. Why do we do this? Well, officially the tanks are meant to be used in cities where its surronding will let it hide from aircraft, and its armor can protect it against any infantry carried anti-tank weapons.

Unofficially the tanks are nothing but propaganda machines, spending 20% of their total time on parade and on propaganda tours. We try to never send them into REAL combat, unless we have no other choice. Squashing insurgents however....

Well, I don't really see how anyone would have a problem with me, because:
1. I'm not saying I use them at a ridiclous range. Again, I'd tell you the range, but the specs are at home. They're susposed to work at longish ranges, but not bullet long (Last I recall a normal Asclepian rifle's effective range is at ~100 feet.)

2. I don't RP a lot, unless it's with the people at school.
(Edit: Sorry for lingering so long, I didn't expect anyone to randomly nitpick how ineffective my military is.)

[-St George]

1 in 6 soldiers carry a L9A1 50mm Light Mortar.

That is awesome!

As our squads are 24 men in size that's 4 per squad.

Other ridiculous stuff we do?

Well, our military isn't split into traditional branches, but instead there are 5 Orders that each have their own land and air forces and they operate different tech.

Soldiers almost never get adrenaline by thinking "fuck yeah killing Nazis this is awesome" only psychopaths actually get any sort of positive excitement from combat, so using that as your reasoning to distribute adrenaline pills is stupid.

Syringes of any kind do not work against armour because it requires a hollow area to hold the liquid or whatever that you are planning on injecting into the soldier, and when it impacted armour or flesh it would act a lot like a hollow point bullet, simply being smashed into a pancake shape against armour, or tearing a larger hole in a soldier than a normal bullet if they didn't have armour.

Except you might as well use lethal weapons in many cases because your 'non lethal' or 'less lethal' weapons are just as lethal only more painful and taking more time to kill.

Except they don't keep you from being rushed because the enemy only need some goggles, hard armour, and a helmet and he can poke his head up and shoot you without any threat at all.

Most of your weapons are either useless, or just assholish because they either do nothing, or just cause more damage that will kill more slowly.

The spec would show it better, but the Gyrojet-like system our rifles and ammunition employ mostly nullify the hollow area problem. It also prevents tumbling, which is another reason these would be impractical to deploy in the real world. The pancaking effect is nullified by the weighted plundger, which absorbs most, if not all, of the "smashing" effect.

Our nonlethal weapons and tactics, which, while do create casualities, prevent far more death than would happen if we were using normal weaponry.

As well, if he was going to be that far, it'd be useless. we'd probably just throw a gas grenade at that point.

Only if the armor is fitted to protect against skinny, extra long knives. Which, on my (potential) opponants, are not the case.

But, thank you for no longer hounding me on the issue. I never said these would be effective IRL anyway. This is just my fictional, more futuristic(ish) military.

[Legital]

All of our soldiers in each branch of the military are taught the ways of cannibalism, and to loot every dead body the come upon if possible. I mean after all, food and supplies might not be able to reach your position. They also carry two suicide pills that will stop the heart in twelve seconds.

If you take both, will it stop in six?

I don't see why not

[Rupudska]

People may consider the fact that ten years ago, we sent a six-year-old into a giant space cannon away from her parents with artificial gravity, a television, a PSP and an Xbox 360 (In case she gets bored), a laptop, a refrigerator, a machine that recycles all the water used in the station (Including from the bathroom), and a small porthole to deliver foodstuffs once a month, crazy. Considering that she has the magic firepower of the Death Star of Star Wars fame, we call that putting the safety of the country first.

[Ruskarkand]

Before we go to war, our soldiers who are monolithian sometimes face the opposing armies camp, and salute them.
If one is killed by a sniper, then they fight unrelentlessly.
If they all come back ok, then they fight with honor, sparing the injured and giving them a second chance.

Our soldiers also often say 12 prayers to the Monolith before going to combat.

[Wikipedia and Universe]

They fight unrelentlessly.

And they should not be misunderestimated.

Death is acceptable in training.

Not because it's Spetsnaz training Brutal, but because booster-packs are a regular part of training, and just a slight miscalculation in distance, height, and the pack's ability to move you that far can end your life.

...

But also because the training is pretty brutal.
One practice is having a recruit sit out in a field while his platoon shoots around him. This is meant to get him used to being under fire. Unfortunately, some freak too much, and unintentionally dive into a bullet.

Most of the deaths of the Maritime Rangers [Marines] come from Training, it's not ridiculous to expect death in training if you're doing it properly aka live ammo or stfu and call it 'practice' instead of training.
