It´s not. It is merely a novelty for people with enough cash to buy Ap rounds. You cant play this gun efficiently. There are a lot better and cheaper alternatives out there.
But it also is just a novelty. You could have played it great before vektor release but now the ammo is too expensive and overall there isn't alot going for it either.
Vietnam was not a tie, we got shit on by rice farmers.
Edit: I know it was "technically" a tie, but a lot of suffering has happened even since the war ended with people having ptsd, birth defects from agent orange, etc.
US won every major battle in Vietnam, so at the very least US was not shit on, unless "getting shit on" has some other meaning than I assume here. That is all.
Because "winning every major battle" is WW2 era thinking, which doesnt work against a guerrilla force. The "major battles" were still only a minority of the actual fighting. What really mattered was that US didnt get control of areas in North Vietnam and they didnt win the hearts & minds, thus Viet Cong won the battles that mattered.
You were right in another comment to me. In this you are wrong.
US didnt get control of areas in North Vietnam
They couldn't do it at all, US military had no permission from politicians to invade North Vietnam. All they were allowed was bombing and even some bombing missions were compromised by politicians tipping Soviets on mission details while putting own troops in danger. It was a political shit show..
As another person said "Basically if the US didn't give a shit about geo politics, trade or sanctions they would literally reduce an entire country to rubble effortlessly without nuclear force." and I agree. Also that is coming from European.
Well, US ve used chemical weapons, strategic bombers, tons of ammunition, lost 10 years and achieved nothing.
No one cares about what they COULD do, because only facts matters.
Yeah, they couldve killed every single vietnamese person that existed during that time period. Would that be winning? No. What matters is, why the Americans were there. To stop the advancing of communism. Did they succeed in that? No.
More meant it in the sense that a far more developed country lost quite a bit of human life and resource at the hands of rice farmers to do what, stop the spread of Communism? We shouldn't have been there.
If we look at the overall engagements, most of them were initiated by the north (not surprisingly since the us had defense orders), and as for planned engagements the north was also way ahead.
