Kinda related: https://warisboring.com/iran-and-russia-are-apparently-fighting-each-other-in-syria-6f9d79b911da#.syfvxymjv

And apparently Assad is selling his country (bits of it anyway) to Iran, and the Syrian regieme is a lot less stable than I realized.

Eh, bombing your allies on purpose can hardly be classified as passive aggressive

Well, bombing them "accidentally" would be no?

Hard to tell if he's showing off a little (most likely not, given the situation), but yeah, that's pretty badass.

A wild dual-AK-wielder has been spotted!

reminds me of the FSA fighter in that one webm that always gets passed around 4 chan; he stands up in a street hip firing some big fucking machine gun, and gets a dozen shots off before he gets double tapped by some former ba'athist fucking commando or something down the street

Anyone firing an intermediate cartridge rifle without a stock is an idiot, with almost no exceptions.

How come? Just wondering. Other than possibly balance issues and likely control issues. Does look a little odd for them to have no back portion, or stock if you will.

The balance and control issues are pretty much it. Even hitting something with a machine pistol firing a comparatively tiny round is an impressive feat. Stockless rifles are for people who want to trade ease of carry for something that's almost entirely useless.

Arguably he's already a progressive, just one in the style of an enlightened Kaiser.

I'm going to do the smart thing here and disengage. This isn't a hill I paticularly care to die on.

I'm sure you still want to have solid control of it so you don't accidentially hit the people you're fire-suppressing for.

It looked mostly like showing off to me honestly, rather than any tactical move.
