Rumor has it that the SEALs are also replacing their P226s/Mk 25s with Glock 19s once the Sig contract is up. The HK45C/Mk 24 remains their go to suppressed pistol though. The reason why they're going with the 19 instead of the full sized 17 is as follows
[QUOTE]The 19 can fill a lot more roles without taking up as much real estate on an operators kit. The move away from a traditional sized "duty pistol" and a move to an "operators pistol" has been a reason behind the popularity of the G19.
The G19 is perhaps the most efficiently sized pistol in its class without giving up the capacity of a "duty size" pistol. The G19 can be carried covertly as well as overt supplement to a primary (RE: Long Gun) without being unnecessarily large (duty size).
Keep in mind that the G19 is replacing both the P239 and P226 9mm.
Personally, I think this has been a long time coming. Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of really good pistols out there these days, and I like the SIG's. But when you start carrying a lot of gear, a pistol that does everything a 226 does in a lighter more efficient package is a huge step forward. [/QUOTE]

It makes sense that they'd want something smaller and lighter considering pistols are a backup weapon
[url=https://www.reddit.com/r/guns/comments/3wissb/why_is_the_reddit_logo_on_the_gun_censored/cxwm6t0]For some reason the reddit admins requested the mods of /r/guns to censor the Snoo in their header, and to report any use of the "trademarked" image.[/url] Now a bunch of people are just posting pics of guns with Snoo on it, so if you frequent that subreddit, be prepared for a whole lot of shitposts.
I was wondering why people were holding pics of the meme alien over their gun and posting it
not surprising, honestly.

Wouldn't it be more effective if it would explode as you loaded the magazine up with rounds; so it actually blows up at a point where you're almost certain that someone got it in their hand?

I guess the plan is they're hoping an enemy combatant sees this magazine with rounds still loaded in it lying on the ground, and rather than just leaving it alone, they pick it up and use it for their own weapon like a video game.

I think the idea was that they would be put loaded into a box of other loaded magazines. Only make a few bombs, because after one explodes they would probably check the others.
Logistics. It'd be a bitch to have one of your guys lose a hand to an AK magazine and then have to explain to everyone in command that you need EOD to check every last AK magazine you have in storage for sanity reasons. The idea is just to cause clusterfucks in the logistic department, scare the crap out of soldiers, and attempt to prevent people from using your own weapons against you. Then again its Yugoslavian shit, so maybe that's more of a blessing :v:

Well guys I guess we have to get rid of all our Yugoslavian stuff since Boris lost one of those booby trapped mags in there last week, oh darn
[editline]14th December 2015[/editline]
I don't understand the design though, why make it an ak-47 mag, why would they potentially boobytrap their own stores like that, this had to only be useful against insurgents that might have smuggled a bunch of soviet weapons.The idea is fantastic though, but maybe a bit impractical when your possible uses are 1) a soldier with a comparable rifle picks it up 2) you send a couple of them with a bunch of crates of arms
Booby traps are inventions of Armies that are not expected to win constantly. And when you're in the region where you have plenty of enemies that use your rifle more than your own guys, this is probably a nice thing to have.

Oh my god
clearly han didn't need to shoot first, blaster blasters are crap compared to guns
i'm surprised the thing on the front doesn't mess up the short recoil, unless its not as heavy as it looks

too bad the bladerunner gun (harrison ford's other famous weapon) was a mess of guns combined so it couldn't possibly shoot,still looks cool for a gun thats supposed to be insanely OP to take down replicants

[editline]15th December 2015[/editline]
But doing actual reading on it turns out it ain't all that shit. Made for paratroopers so the tiny size makes sense, it's light as fuck and does a decent job at taking out fortified insurgent positions; with the added bonus compared to other single-use rocket launchers of being able to be fired indoors or from vehicles without killing everything, ever.

Old pictures of tank trials when the Swedish Armed Forces were looking to replace the Strv 103, candidates includes the Abram, Leclerc, Leopard and T-90 (not pictured). The Challenger was also planned to undergo the trials but the manufacturer backed out in the last minute.

In the end the Leopard won as the Leclerc couldn't handle the nordic climate very well and broke down a number of times during the trial, the Abrams was deemed to expensive and the T-90 made the army paranoid as they would've been forced to buy stuff from Russia.

If they have their hands on a supposedly empty magazine that's weighed down because of the explosives, they might notice that something's up.
