Lols!!!!!

Lolzz

haha. the reason they don't have soldier haircut is the fact, that the swiss army is a militia, a citizen army. after basic training every man had to regularly 3 weeks repetition courses in the army. so everyone comes from his cilive life, his job to the army service and goes back to civil life. thats why rules were not so harsh for hair.

I've been to Switzerland 2x and on the 2nd trip had the good fortune to be in an area where they were on training maneuvers and war games, so your presentations bring back fond memories of a wonderful country and it's skilled military, seeing armor drive up the mountain road past the house, hearing artillery and small arms...all in all midst of alpen life...much different from here in the US. Thanks again for all your presentations!

to be frank, i was a bit embarrassed

Lols.

Which base is it?

We Nepali people prefer to use a Khukuri.

@@walangchahangyelingden8252 A splendid weapon, most definitely.

indeed, that said aikido/jiu-jitsu locks are extremely effective if done well and non-lethal. the rolling is actually extremely useful in ranged or close combat, being able to go to ground and back up instantly if thrown, falling with reduced impact or moving fast while staying low

You can commit once you trust your opponent. It also works the other way round.

Yup. That thing is just brutal. My dad told me they trained to beat holes into brick walls with their rifles. If thtat thing hits you, you're out for good.

I mean, yeah. The rubber stock isn't necessarily the best for the job though.

@@walangchahangyelingden8252 well technically yes, but having handled those rifles I can tell you that the rubbery quality of the buttstock only really shows on slowmo when firing rifle grenades. It is nothing like the rubber buttpad of a modern rifle.

@@ABCKorpi Oh shit, I thought wrong.

Yes, using a StGw 57 like a Morgenstern was a very tried and popular technic back then (RS 221/1988)

A cricket box would help, slightly. I was taught to get my arm on the ground before my body if I was being thrown there. However you might come up against someone who knows how to use the momentum of his body flying through the air to put you down instead.

I think wrestling / grappling and boxing would be more useful, and they can be trained realistically.

@@kukuyeah I like those arts, but I would still say that they can only be trained somewhat realistically. In combat, you won't be wearing boxing gloves and in training you don't want to break bones, dislocate joints, hurt the eyes etc. Also, in hand to hand combat, you would use any weapon or thing that can help you, and this again can't be trained realistically, only with heavy protection gear.

Swiss-asutra ;-)

Cheesejitsu

Esta buena esa,jejejeje.

@@DaletheStgwDude And I thought my phone hurts.

@@DaletheStgwDude well, in the russian military there is a very old joke that can be roughly translated as "In order to engage in hand-to-hand combat, a soldier must lose his rifle, grenades, bayonet, shovel, body armour and helmet and then find a flat piece of open ground with a similarly idiotic enemy standing there"

@@Temeluchas 🤣🤣🤣🤣 👍

@@DaletheStgwDude awesome,mate,I’ll give it a try!I loved the Zeppelin esk riffs on the soundtrack!lol,hope Switzerland is weathering this pandemic ok :)

@@DaletheStgwDude not too bad,I’m in New Zealand ,up in the mountains,pretty good place to be :)

For his annual three-week rehearsal course (WK or CR), the soldier does not necessarily want to shave his head like a recruit

POLICE THAT MOUSTACHE!

It's incredibly heavy and the rubber buttstock won't stop all that weight from smacking you hard. The entrenching tool is the only other bludgeon that compares afaik.
