      Hey now! They’re called „weapons enthusiasts“ or „firearms aficionados“! They just needed lots and lots of ammunition to appreciate it! The more the merrier, you see? Stop badmouthing our dear completely harmless right wing extremist gun fans!

      Do I really need to put a /s here?

      Or being used by Rus/NK troops somewhere in Ukraine…? Nothing would really surprise me at this point

        I get the “used in Ukaine”-part, but why pretend that there is a difference between AfD-linked nazis and Russian troops? That’s just the same people differently flavored for another front line.

          …And that by some stroke of 90s era sitcom luck no one ever realizes the error, while slowly but surely word begins working its way from the front that Ukraine has developed some form of wonder weapon (or collectively prayed to the right god… or devil :-o) that has made them all impervious to gun fire.

    I wonder what the military police was doing. When I was a conscript we had to accompany weapons and ammunition transports, even civil trucks. When the driver had breaks, we still needed to be around the truck.

    I wonder whether that changed or if they were involved somehow in the “mishap”.
