It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Imagine thinking the Mosin was obsolete by WWII and not literally the MVP gun of that entire war.
Fuckin' Germans preferred to use captured Mosins than their own issued rifles
i have a mosin and love it to death but i really struggle to believe this is true lol.
Nazis did tend to use the Mosin but looking into it, it's probably more due to availability of ammo and the fact that they didn't freeze shut like German rifles did
In all situations, an inferior piece of equipment which works is preferable to a superior piece of equipment which is broken.
Thank fuck the Nazi tank industry never learned this.
The one's who got the better made Mosins (especially Finnish ones) really did prefer it. But of course the wartime pressures on the Soviet economy made quality vary widely. (that's what happens when you move your factory half way across the country and try to make stuff with completely different steel.)
