    All the French jokes.. I stopped making them after listening to Dan Carlin's Hardcore History.. the beating they took in WWI was monumental. They didn't have much left to fight with in WWII.

    Wonder if the pistols will be made in Austria or in Georgia?

    French arms fought valiantly for centuries. They pounded the poor germans almost at will. They didn't win them all, e.g. losing to the Spanish in the Italian Wars. But the revolutionary armies and Napoleon were the first example of the modern nation in arms.

    Modern French "surrender " reputation rests on the Franco-German War of 1870 and WW2. In both the French fought but were quickly defeated.

    They also lost in Vietnam (but then, so did the US) and Algeria, two post colonial guerrilla actions.

    Because by buying 74,596 and not 75,000 it leaves the other 404 guys/gals/non-binary available to carry the white flags.

    And in Algeria, they won militarily, through some absolutely brutal counter-insurgency work. It was their political structure that failed them, not the military. Since then, they've also smacked down Islamists in Mali, and by all accounts, done a better job of it than we have in our sandbox forays.

    "Surrendering France" jokes need to die already. They aren't funny, and they aren't historically accurate. They're as bad as the bubba comments you'll hear at a gun show or gun store.
    It's f*****g great, putting holes in people, all the time, and it just puts 'em down mate, they drop like sacks of s**t when they go down with this.
