We can sit here and debate the purpose of war, and how it should be fought, all week long. I don't really know if any of this is true, but it all seems logical. Someone's dies, it happens too, but not to the same extreme, and it probably won't take supplies or perhaps even people until the battle is over. Once someone has been wounded to the point of not being able to fight, they'll tie up people, time, supplies, and the sights and sounds will demoralize the enemy. 50\minigunģ - Resumes shooting after confirming death, further resolved for revenge. Next, you've tied up surgeons and medics, depleted supplies, and demoralized the enemy.ġ - Guy gets blown in half by. And then comes a truck\heli, another lovely target. Then, you've created a group carrying the stretcher out that will make a nice target for MG fire. Look at it this way.ġ - Guy gets hit in the gut with a 5.56 and goes down screechingĢ - Buddies stop shooting and look, and are horrified at the sightģ - One or two begin patching the casulty upĤ - Since it's a gut wound, four men have to carry him out on a stretcher or litterħ - The guy survives if he's lucky, and dies if he's notīy dropping that one guy with a wounding hit rather then a kill, you've tied up a squad of infantry from shooting at you for a moment or two, which might be just enough for you to make a decisive move. I agree with the idea that wounding is better then killing. Please don't turn this into a political debate. But if they did ban miniguns, why are they still used on various choppers and aircraft? What's up with that?Īlso, miniguns (gattling guns).I have heard from several people, and seen on a few webpages in the past that the Geneva Convention supposedly banned miniguns (it also says in the GTA VC strategy guide that miniguns were banned, but that is a game so they can say what they want say even if it ain't true). How come Nukes and MOAB's ain't banned? The use of chemical weapons is banned, NOT possesion. 50 cal heavy machine gun is (still) used against infantry then? 50 cal weapon against infantry is banned. ![]() I hear that any caliber over 7.62 is also banned by the Geneva Convention. The use of the Barret M82 as an anti-material sniper rifle ain't banned though which is fair enough. But it would have to be restricted to the military and used if only absolutely necessary.ĪFAIK, the use of the Barret M82 as an anti-infantry sniper rifle is banned by the Geneva Convention (why didn't they ban GR then? In GR you can use the Barret M82 as an anti-infantry sniper rifle). ![]() Good decision or not? IMO flamethrowers could still be very good used in some conflicts today. ![]() This is the Geneva of the 'real' Genevois…or as close as you'll get to it.Well they banned flamethrowers and napalm after 'Nam cuz flamethrowers and napalm were "cruel and inhuman". Geneva's counterculture dwells in Les Grottes, the Quartier des Pâquis and along the post-industrial Rhône where neighbourhood bars hum with attitude and energy. The headquarters of the World Trade Organization, World Health Organization, International Committee of the Red Cross, the second-largest branches of the United Nations and World Bank (among some 200-odd international organisations, including not-for-profits) are here, along with the overload of luxury hotels, boutiques, jewellers, restaurants and chocolatiers accompanying them.īeneath this flawless exterior, lies a fascinating rough-cut diamond, peopled by artists and activists educated in international schools, drifters and denizens. ![]() Constantly perceived as the Swiss capital (it isn't), Switzerland's second-largest city is slick and cosmopolitan, and its people chatter in almost every language among streets paved by gold. Like the swans that frolic on its eponymous Alpine lake (Europe's largest), Geneva (Genève) is a rare bird.
