Big things happening in 2026

@wan_shi80986 @jesusfroman My theory has always been that they do it for the blank capability, off the top of my head I have not seen a BFA designed for the 191 or a 95 one being used in that capacity. In actual training exercises the 191 is used by basically everybody.

@jesusfroman Airborne special forces always like to keep one or two Type 95 rifles in a squad. We've never really understood why.

@doctoradmiral Early ATO had some bizarre combinations show up that somehow managed to look really cool. That entire event in front of the airfields gate though is one of the best examples of just how confused the situation (and the armies response to it) was.

Soviet helmet + modern uniform was such a cool look
