You saw lone Survival right?.. OK let me create a scenario here. Same 4 man team. You happen to carry the communication gear alongside your regular gear, then comes your ancillary weapon together with your main weapon an SR-25 to be precise. A tough gun battle ensues, and you run out of ammunitions(primary/secondary) after hours(you're already weak & tired) of the fight, you're out gunned & massively outnumbered & the enemies are far gaining on you, luckily you are surrounded by tree lines, you decide to use it as a cover to maneuver & retreat..... So are trying to say your first thought will be to get an enemies weapon & add to your gear, knowing fully well that your gear alone wouldn't allow you run fast or maneuver & you dare not ditch any of them. Picture this, a communication gear strapped to you back together with your backpack, your SR-25 on your right shoulder & your ancillary weapon(preferable a hand gun) on the left side of your waist. Minus the enemies weapon, how do you run/retreat & maneuver with all this gear considering the terrain(brushy paths & tree lines)?.. So with all these, you go still gather mind pick enemy weapon?

.






.
will definitely do.







Just trying to make a point that contrary to popular believes that the Ak47 is a rugged firearm, if it's not properly cared for & maintained, it jams & is prone to malfunction. Nigeria police because they have low maintenance culture as regards the firearms they carry & the resultant effect is a jammed weapon.

I agree with you on this a 100% the AK47 is not your go to weapon for accuracy.
That's why special forces will rather draw their secondary weapon rather than go for the AK.

Besides even though you are a soldier you will only have BASIC knowledge of most fire arms, but your mastery will be will the one that you develop blisters with (your main weapon you train with).

A US soldier will rather use his Glock when his primary weapon runs out of ammo in life and death situations instead of going for an AK47 he has basic knowledge of, the only exception can be after he has cross examined the weapon before he uses it, in most cases there is little time for that.

IKON360:
How about Lone Survivor and tons of other military movies that once their ammo for the primary weapon is exhausted they use the secondary side arm and then a knife. They never pick the dead guys weapon. Especially in movies... Why?

Well IMO,
I guess (in the real sense) you are more fluid with the weapon you trained with, most US special forces most go with ARs rather than AK47s like its always the case with most militias.
these other weapons Might feel "weird" when speed and accuracy is what will make the difference between life and death.

IKON360:
So I watched Mile 22 and Lone Survivor today, I want understand, why don't soldiers use the weapons of fallen enemies in these movies. Its common sense, if you can use an American made Rifle you can also use a Russian made rifle. Or is that not how it works?

I dont think it was necessary in Mile 22

Just tackle financial crisis in the sector. Help discos recover debts. They will reinvest and boost operations. Strengthen transmission. Haba! It's not rocket science

Oh pls,
since NEPA was sold to them, can you tell me one high tension cable they replaced? what have they done with the outrageous bills they have been collecting in the name of estimated bill? Nothing.

The only that changed was the name not the mode of operation. It was never sold to improve the power sector.

oyaskii:
I am very sorry for ever bashing Aladdin...see rush of nostalgia... Disney will remake all thier classic and after initial gra gra i will see go and see it.

Lion King is next, there are bringing back Earl Jones to still play Mufasa.
I just hope they stay true to the franchise not over doing it.

ornicus:
Also try Intel driver updater (I have forgotten its name)

let me check google,

downloading wise driver now

ornicus:
Three possiblities

1) your Bluetooth and wifi some how got disabled in the bios. When booting your system hit f6 ( varies) enter bios and confirm wifi and Bluetooth is not disabled.

2) older laptops have a button that switches off wifi. Check if your laptop has one of theses

3) your laptop may have hot keys that toggle these functions.press the fn key in combination with the f7 to f10 keys

4) check device manager to ensure the devices are not disabled.

5) you can use iobit driver booster or wise driver care.you can even chose to update via windows updste

I will just try the wise driver car, I checked the bios section and enabled it (though it was checked to enable by default). the device is not even visible in the device manager though when i click on view the show hidden icon, the bluetooth becomes visible. So its not even an issue of toggling or hot keys, the device does not even recognize the hardware.

this has happened before, i had to reinstall windows again (without formating the hard disk) and everything worked fine again.

MJBOLT:

push ups cannot give him 6 packs

its easier to have 6 packs when you have a strong core, and push ups helps strengthening you core.

ornicus:
Theres a free version

Never heard of it thats why i asked, after installing Kaspersky anti virus my wireless and bluetooth disappeared have tried all the drivers i can find online, i want reinstall windows to reset the drivers but that will be last resort.

JeromeBlack:
Na pako full this thread.

who told you am aje pako

Bill Gates does my laundry, Jeff Bezos fetches me my daily newspapers.

mekaprime:
If I hear, so those two hours na just for trekking, you no day play ball for road or visit game center?. we know how e day be jare, once you're trekking with friends, one can spend the whole day.

precisely @ the bolded, if not i will have to seek for a friend to "lap" me in the bus

ornicus:
That's why I referred you to wise driver care. It should update all your drivers

is this a free software?

JeromeBlack:
Comic book kee you there.

Do you think aje pakos have the luxury to buy comic books?

so for your mind now I be aje butter, have you trekked 2 hours from your school to your house before?

I was just lucky I knew a friend that knew a friend back then, i was not opportune just lucky to stumble on comics in my secondary school days.

JeromeBlack:
Be asking JAMB question there. Dem tell you say people dey go marvel university?

its normal for it to look like jamb question to YOU that know little or nothing.
those that read comics wont find this a difficult question

losprince:
Currently watching a bug's life, two minutes in and I'm already hooked and enjoying it. Got Antz on stand by ready to follow suit.

the scene that really cracked me up,
When Hopper was trying to explain to the ants the order of nature

i think it was something alone this lines or so

"the sun grows the food
The ants gathers the food for the grasshoppers
the grasshoppers eat the food"

and the Hopper's brother jumps in

"and the birds eat the grasshoppers,
You should have seen when a bird was trying to eat Hopper he was begging for his life, he was screaming pls dont eat me..."

Then Hopper grabbed his brother by the neck and squeezed it, cos he was just humiliated in front of the ant.

i was shaking with laugh.

Stan Lee Likes to end his articles on the Editors page of Marvel Comic books with 2 words,
who can tell me the 2 words?

mekaprime:
Na better virus your system carry i swear.
If I were you, i would simply back up my files, get the necessary drivers & format the whole system.
Or if your internal HDD is partitioned, simply scan both partitions. The malware should be in the first drive partition. If it's so, format that partition & install your drivers & you're good to go.

may not really be the case, most times it may be a software conflict.

Imogenn:
Thank you so much. I will screenshot this and read this to help me. Thank you

Any time.

JacksonMS:
Most of the introverts here are lucky, some of you even have girlfriends, doing well in work.
I m Soo useless and a waste.

What if I told you most Alfa males are fragile inside, but do a good job of hiding it?

Most people aspire to be great because they can deal with their inferior self, you have to remember all it takes is the right person to bring out the confidence in you, thats where some are lucky, not because they are better than you.

Imogenn:
I really don’t know where all this stems from. I’ve always been that shy quiet kid from childhood. But it’s just gotten worse as I’ve transformed into adulthood.
Sometimes I feel I’m not adequate enough because I’m so quiet in a world full of confident people. I’m very conscious about my looks, as I’ve been told I’m ugly more than beautiful in my lifetime, that could be another reason. I feel everywhere I go, people must always have one negative/weird thing to say about me, so it’s just strange. I’m troubled.

then you have to switch your attention to some things then.
Am sure its not all that bad, all you need is a spark in this dark place your mind is to set a fire that will burn bright in you, no matter how dark your mind is.
To get this spark is just to find the good qualities you have in you no matter how little (remember all we need is a spark), surely you have them.

What you need to do is grow the best in you, this is something you have to do yourself. No one will do this for you, you have to take the bull by the horns and take responsibility of making you self who you want to be.

You have to try, what leads to depression is not even trying, trust me you will get some satisfaction just trying.
Even if you fail its alright, show me a successful person that never failed and i will show you a lair.

What you should do now is find a starting point and incorporate it into your every day life.

Imogenn:
I really don’t know
I just over think about everything, I’m afraid of appearing socially awkward, which makes my social anxiety worse. And I can’t help but think about how I appear everywhere I go. I just can’t help it.

So from the look of it, its like your worried about how you appear to people,

why would you think you not adequate?

the thing about solving a problem is getting a very clear understanding of the problem.

Imogenn:
My social anxiety over the years has become worse and worse I feel like it’s ruining my life. Yesterday I decided to challenge myself as my friend invited me to a church gathering. Most days I just go to work and go straight back to my room. Even at work I find it difficult to relate to my coworkers outside work related issues because I can’t hold a conversation without fidgeting and feeling uneasy. I have only two friends. Two, no more no less.

So I went to this church gathering and I felt like I was having a panic attack. My heart was beating super fast I just felt extremely uncomfortable. In the past I tried to drink alcohol anytime I go to social gatherings to suppress my anxiety, but I just hate how it makes me feel. So my friend is introducing me to people at the gathering, and I’m trembling on my words, my heart is beating super fast, I feel uncomfortable, I can’t look people in the eye, and I can’t hold a conversation without feeling like the world is going to swallow me up. I had to leave the event early, because I couldn’t take the shame. I saw how people were looking at me like there was something seriously wrong with me, I felt so stupid. I got home and starting crying, this anxiety is taking over my life, it’s ruining my life. I can’t do anything without overthinking and panicking. My friend called me and told me that I was just over reacting but I know she was just saying that to make me feel better. I’m 25 now and I just feel like it’s getting worse and worse as the years go by. All I do is lock myself up in my room, for how long am I going to continue like this? I just feel like my life is ruined.

What are you really afraid of?

CosmicPhoenix:

the marvel vs dc crossover led up to amalgam comic series where the Living Tribunal and Spectre merged the dc and marvel universe together which caused characters to merge together,batman merged with wolverine to form darkclaw,iron man merged with green lantern to form iron lantern,flash merged with ghost rider to form speed demon etc.

marvel have officially come out to state that the amalgam storyline takes place in an alternate universe while dc have not even acknowledged it,any storyline that doesnt take place in the main continuity of a fictional universe is not considered CANON,there is a reason why deadpool,punisher,wolverine kills the marvel universe,injustice,the marvel what if ministries,marvel zombies etc are not considered canon,even a half brain nitwit understands this.even the link you uploaded said marvel and dc crossovers are mostly not canon,i love how you left that part out.i'm done schooling you

Am sure your eyes flew over the part that said "some Crossovers are part of Canon" on the link.

your initial statement was
"crossovers are not canon that one is an established fact"

see how you are struggling to fight your way out.

be careful in your next post cos you seem to have a knack to post things that i can use against you.

CosmicPhoenix:

this one still carry matter of last week for im head like gala,that L must have given you sleepless nights.which kain joblessness be this.

"as you can see, am not dead"

am sure the meaning of this statement will go over your head.

Ishilove:
Hopefully, sanity will be restored on the thread. They have made it their cyberlife's purpose to attempt to bully and be a nuisance to other users but as long as the report button works...

I can get nasty too, nastier than most of these trolls flexing their muscles, but rolling in the mud with pigs will turn you to a pig yourself.

*shudder*

Oh well, back to the sidelines.

I see you were having a circle dance over my ban,
Anyone that has alot going on in their life will not be here (in a faceless forum) seeking relevance, in other words - get a life.

you have been guilty countless times of what you are talking about, i come across your comments in the Politics section.....
more of that later.

The ones that are meant to track the forum for bully and insults have been on vacation, insults and bully are the bread and butter of the forum.
An entire tribe has been degraded and insulted, heck even Nigerians have been labelled with names and insulted, something Ishilove indulges in vigorously (yet these people become even more famous even at that).
I have witness people being bullied and insulted individually here, i have been on the receiving end of so many insults that i take in my stride like its the norm (ofcos i let them have it also),
insults are the spare shells people bring for a debate here, the spare shells are always called upon when they run out of logic and facts ammo (which doesnt last a min - something i have to admit doing myself when it gets fired at me).

Even if insults are the size of a roof, it will still go over the mods heads until a sniiitch like Ishilove hits the report button, i dont mind rolling in the mud with a retarded Marvel fanatic, but a person that is a sniitch and a hypocrite is sad piece of work.

Brain resetting bans - what does that mean? are you that shallow that you need a ban from an online forum before you can think straight?
This is just another web page on my browser, people have done and doing big things with their life that have never heard of Nairaland, these people have a life,
I suggest you do same.



Even if this moniker gets banned am not fazed, it does not pay the bills or get things done.

CosmicPhoenix:

simple english is now a problem The DCEU and MCU are based on canon storylines from the comics although they may not be accurate that sentence means the the DCEU and MCU may not be accurate compared to the source material.


crossovers are not canon that one is an established fact

Another trap that you nestled in nicely obviously you are being smart by half and you know nothing of what you are talking about.
Where you are around in the late 60s and 70s to know what a canon is?

"crossovers are not canon that one is an established fact"

Really?

dont worry i wont ask you to click on a link I will paste the excepts of the content here since my links scares you

In comic books, an intercompany crossover (also called cross-company or company crossover) is a comic or series of comics where characters that at the time of publication are the property of one company meet those owned by another company (for example, DC Comics' Superman meeting Marvel's Spider-Man, or DC's Batman meeting Marvel's Wolverine). These usually occur in "one-shot" issues or miniseries.

Some crossovers are part of canon. But most are outside of the continuity of a character's regular title or series of stories. They can be a joke, a gag, a dream sequence, or even a "what if" scenario (such as DC's Elseworlds).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intercompany_crossover

am just toying with you using rebuttals.
And you just falling for every trap.

CosmicPhoenix:

what part of crossovers are not canon cant you understand,so using your logic venom is stronger than superman,wolverine is stronger than lobo who has gone toe to toe with kryptonians,storm is stronger than wonder woman,batman is stronger than captain america and hulk,i bet you have not even read the crossover comic.the[b] DCEU and MCU are based on canon storylines[/b] from the comics although they may not be accurate.google what canon in fiction is and stop this rubbish,dont bother quoting me because it's obvious you know nothing

you see your life? they are canon but not accurate abi.
but non canon is not real but accurate abi?

just playing your own game with you.

CosmicPhoenix:

no one asked you for story concerning the DCEU,did batman beat hulk or captain america in a DCEU movie,why do you keep mentioning it.it's a well known fact that crossovers in comics are not canon someone pointed that out already,i dont understand what is difficult in understanding that.

we are trying to understand who is stronger, hence the reason for the crossover.

do you think a crossover would happen without the approval of both companies?
do you even know what it means for such crossover to get printed and distributed without lawsuits flying all over the place?

funny you guys are now hiding behind the "its not canon" talk. you should have stated this before now when the narrative was going your way.

If you want to play this card then you should go back to the beginning.

That means DCEU did not get their stories from the souce material na,
that means your MCU were taking advantage of non canon Superman and Batman.

CosmicPhoenix:

crossovers in comics are not canon even JeromeBlack that doesnt claim comic book fan is even more knowledgeable

Doomsday created by Lex Luthor is not cannon.
Batman at 55 that have never heard of Justice League is not canon.
Superman dying before confronting Darkseid is not canon.
Lex Luthor with curly hair before Superman died is not canon.


A whole lot of crap that made the DCEU a living joke is not canon, you should have pointed all this out before enjoying making fun of DCEU.

TheKingIsHere:
You are actually right....hahahaha

There was a DC/marvel cross over where Batman beat hulk, captain America and the punisher

And someone will say "it's not Canon" as if some stupid DCEU movie that said Lex Luther created doomsday was "Canon"
