Modern problems require modern solutions.

I've been seeing variations on this articl for twenty years. It's always the same: they're easy to use and soldiers already know how to use them.
They're also backed by literal decades of research and trial and error for usability. No real reason to reinvent the wheel
It's like when people go off on weapons appearing phallic. Pretty sure it's just cause both are kinda engineered for similar things. Weapons either penetrate stuff or shoot stuff out. Dicks do both. Freud was dumb as hell, don't be Freud

Like, yeah, you can just spray sperm everywhere like fish do, but it's expensive and difficult and you don't get all the other benefits of human sex like building relationship bonds and having fun and sword fights with your buddies.
No one was making a gun because it looked like a dick, even subconsciously, they were trying to make a thing that can kill people without you needing to be near them to do it. People don't get artsy and symbolic when designing new weapons, pragmatic design is very much the main thing, otherwise you'd see people attaching truck balls to the grips or stocks of guns, which actually, that'd be funny as hell, especially an automatic, every time you fire those balls be bouncing. But yeah, unless you're a serial killer you're not sexualizing your weapons of war while creating them in the first place. If weapons are based in anything in nature it's tree branches and sticks, cause those were the og weapons.
Hmmm I wonder if I can get mlok truck nuts
