A place to discuss comic books of all types, from old to new, Big 2 to indie, and everything in between.
Floppies, graphic novels, compilations, omnibusses (omnibusi?) are all fair game.
There is only one rule:*
Comic Books is a no judgement zone.
You can talk all you want about how Rob Liefeld is trash, Bob Kane is an asshole, or Frank Miller and Dave Sim’s politics have made them toxic, that’s all good.
If, however, another user is LEGITIMATELY a fan of something you don’t like, that does NOT make them a lesser person. Attack the art for being bad, not the person for being a fan of bad art.
* I lied. There are TWO rules... No piracy. Cover shots? That's good. Interior pages, in moderation? Sure. Full books? Links to pirate sites? That's how we get things shut down. :(
I'm not saying it's been a problem, because it hasn't been.

I don't give a fuck what the link says. The only part on point is the last line.
The authors obviously never humped a pig, the ones we had in the late 80s/early 90s were garbage. hope you have a BIG spray bottle of clp and a lot of time to spend maintaining the plastic contraption - literally hours of maint for every few belts in the field. It was overly heavy for what it brought to bear, and the ROF didn't break any new ground. Oh and bring extra blank fire adaptors, they tend to get bendy / melty with any kind of sustained bursts.
(tho, the giant training models were kinda cool, imagine a 2x sized plastic m60 model to illustrate the operation).

I have no personal experience with any kind of machine gun, so ¯\(ツ)/¯
it was my first belt fed mg. I vastly prefer the modern options - nothing is perfect, but I'd much rather run belts, engage beaten areas, traverse the bipod, etc., on a m240b. I'm sure the m60s we had were used up as well, but jesus
