Need the ultimate CQ weapon???

"What's with the loaded mags?"
-Looks like somebody is practising their SOF/G&A type photo layout skills. You know, the guy in the cowboy hat shooting the gun from the bench, ammo boxes and accessories artfully arranged beside the rifle in such a way as to illustrate the mfr's name. Gun porn. It's all about layout and selling the product. Like flopping girls in bikinis over this year's Mustang.
-Farmboy, you got enough free advertising yet?

If you tried to carry that atrocity on your web gear, you would be laughed out of the Infantry. I carry a tomahawk on my ruck because it's an axe and a hammer. It's handy in the field, and it's lighter than a regular hatchet. (A drywalling hammer would achieve nearly the same result.) If you honestly believe that you would employ it as a weapon, you need to seriously give your head a shake.Zartan said:Dumb question, I know, but hypothetically speaking, were I in the Canadian Forces, would there even be a vague possibility that I could bring one of those Tomahawks on a mission?I like.
It's a neat toy. I want one to play with in the back yard. But, it ain't a logical weapon. If you want to carry an extra weapon in CQB, get a pistol from your CQ. At least it'd be practical. There's a reason we stopped using swords and axes once the pistol was perfected.
And this is coming from a man who owns several of each, and is trained in their use.

BUT what if I could mount it on the end of my rifle? Surely according to some here that turns it into a CQB weapon extraoridinare, right?

hmmm, maybe some sort of hydraulic or pneumatic system? We could mount them on the Garbage-wagon's hubcaps, along the tops of the Hesco Bastion, maybe rig up little RC cars with 'em...dude the possibilities are freakin' endless!Britney Spears said:

We could do BattleBots!!!
"Dudes, this should be the issued multitool."
-Come to think of it, that boxtool sums up my construction career: a hammer for building something wrong, a crowbar for taking it apart after I realized I built it wrong, and a hatchet for making kindling for the wood stove out of what was left of the store bought lumber I ruined after my angry use of the crowbar - see above.
-Lee Valley, eh? One in Edmonton, I think I will go and visit. My 11 year old son got to practice axe throwing at "Old Fort William" this summer.
