This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

In a combat situation, with other explosions and shit going on around you, it’s easier to feel two pops instead of three or whatever than to notice your bolt locked after three pops.

It’s designed for war, it’s not a toy for the range.

Fair enough. They should've installed a little speaker that went, "sacrebleu! You have run out of ze bullets!" instead. I think that would've been more noticeable than just two pops instead of three.

It's hard to figure out who is out of bullets by counting pops, it's easier to aim at the guys who's gun just yelled "Sacre blue"

It depends. If you're fighting the French and hear, "sacrebleu", you may just think one of them is starting a sentence.

Also important, if instead you hear "tabarnak" or "calice", that's probably a Quebecois spy and you should leave them alive as your goals are likely aligned against the French.

Should probably change the sound of the gun firing to sound like croissa-a-a-ant so we can tell them apart from American gun which of course just play country music.

from American gun which of course just play country music.

Ever wonder why our guns burst fire in three? Listen to the intro to "Fortunate Son".
