This meme is old enough that the .45/1911 worship wasn't even a fudd thing, it was a huge section of the gun community if not the majority. The era of the Para Ordnance double stack being taken seriously and the Springfield TRP Operator being the ultimate combat pistol, at least if you couldn't afford a Wilson. All sorts of actual high speed guys were turning their noses up at 9mm to get their hands on a .45.
Is it, though? Even with a jungle mag or such? Dropping an entire gun, pulling out and aiming an entire new gun sounds pretty slow when you think about it.

The fudds that always insist on .45 ACP or .44 magnum are always the same guys who can't hit the broad side of a barn

Switching to your handgun is always faster than reloading.

It's a quote from COD:Modern Warfare

And it completely ignores that you should just stab a fool instead!

You also run faster with your knife out.

4+ BS is good, 3+ is better. Try to find a way to reroll 1s while youre at it

.4+12.7?
.4+7.62?
Does not compute...

Are those handgun calibers?
DeltaWingDragon@sh.itjust.works · 17 pts · 218d
The gun is in your hands, so yeah
_stranger_@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 217d
0.4 meters.

12.7 × 99 is .50 BMG. 7.62 × 51 is .308 Win.
It probably doesn't make sense for rifles, as the calibres are usually smaller than .4.

The bottom text and rule 4, sure. The rest is questionable.
It needs to have stuff about marksmanship, the larger mission, concealment and surprise ect.

What if the handgun's caliber starts in .5?
NoForwadSlashS@piefed.social · 16 pts · 218d
That number is generally considered to be larger than .4

9 > .4
