>The Conquistadores used perro de guerra (war dogs) extensively in the Americas
>They proved to be dreadfully effective weapons against Aztec and Inca troops
>The Aztecs had only ever seen little Chihuahuas that they used primarily for food

Imagine you are some Aztec who had never seen a domesticated predator before and some tall, white, Spanish Chads show up with 200 pound armores Mastiffs that rip your chief's throat out

As we all know, the term "Assault Rifle" was directly lifted from the German word "Sturmgewehr", however I want to know who, when and where was the term "Battle Rifle" developed. It certainly wasn't during the inception of the FAL as it's name literally translates to Light Automatic Rifle, putting it in the same category as the Browning Automatic Rifle, and Austria adopted it as the Sturmgewehr 58. Picrel is from the Grand Curtius Museum's reference book, a large arms museum in Liege which is literally right down the road from Herstal where the FAL was made (what I'm saying is I'm not gonna be the one to call them wrong). Was it simply an ex post facto categorization to differentiate between the 7.62x51 caliber infantry rifles and the later 5.56 ones or is there some interesting story to how the select fire, detachable box magazine FAL ended up in the same category as the semiautomatic only, fixed magazine M1 Garand?

Pictured are recreation musket ball dice, often furtive made by soldiers prohibited from carrying games.
What other examples of unorthodox weapons-to-tools or other objects do you know of. Swords to plowshares?
Also, post historical alterations of regular objects being made into weapons.

Why the french dropped the FAMAS for the 416?
Is the AR platform really that immaculate?

>What are digital modes
A way to connect your radio to a computer and send text, forms, various data, e-mail, images, etc.
>What is a good radio
Depends on what you NEED in a radio. If you don’t know, a CCR (Cheap Chinese Radio) like a Baofeng is a good place to start.
>What is Digital Voice/D-Star/DMR/System Fusion
These are on-board digital protocols that are a part of a particular radio’s operating system. Analog voice is converted via codec to a digital stream, which is then routed through a repeater and out somewhere else on the planet. For example, Wyoming, USA to Yokosuka, Japan.
>What is a repeater
A repeater takes your radio’s transmission, amplifies it from a more topographically-sound location, effectively increasing the range of your handheld up to 100mi.
