Dan Daly was the kind of glorious bastard that if he were in WH40k, he would wind up retiring from the Imperial Guard and die peacefully of old age because the Chaos Gods knew they could never take any planet he was stationed on. And there would be a veritable civil war in the Adeptus Ministorum, not about whether or not he should be declared an Imperial Saint, but what he should be declared the Imperial Saint _of,_ because I don't think most of the Ecclesiarchy would accept 'Imperial Saint of Getting Shit Done' as a proper title, but some people would. Granted, I guarantee you Dan Daly would be competing with Commissar Yarrick and Caiphas Cain for that distinction if that was an actual title, but still.

[@raymurray3401]

Honestly given his opinion of being a commissioned officer I would half expect that he would be a guardsman. But him and his unit are so incredibly skilled and badass that their feared by the forces of chaos and are actually highly respected by all of the space marine chapters.

Him and Jules Verne, got me into sci fi after I read some of their books, I don’t know how many books, but I I filled two footlockers worth with just sci-fi mainly military type, a good couple hundred pounds worth, haha. Plus all my other books. I got probably a good 5-600 lbs worth of books, but yeah, wish a good, faithful movie of starship troopers was made, and I still want the MI’s powered armor, wasn’t it the Marauder suit?

[@gchampi2]

Aaahh... The M1895 Colt-Browning. The machinegun BUORD described as "Unusable at Night". Guess the Mk14 wasn't the first time BUORD got it wrong.

[@Plastikdoom]

Well as a reply to both, your only choice for a machine is the 1895…or nothing. This ain’t the army. Or the Brit’s, or imperial Germans. Or the Russians. There is literally no other option as they wouldn’t buy maxims for the USMC, so it’s that, or no machine gun. Yeah I’ll take the 1895, thank you very much, and we’ll you can’t listen to or trust the bureau of ordinance as they were primarily idiots and bureaucrats, that didn’t know their ass from a hole in the ground. Or listen to experts and experienced men, who were successful in combat. The bureau’s track record was and will forever remain garbage. Also they clearly never personally met or knew Marines. Saying it’s unuseable at night…if they would let us Marines man subs in WWII, there never woulda been a public Mk 14 fiasco, as we woulda just made them work, somehow, that’s what we do. We woulda figured out to tinker with them, improve them, or just flat out rip out shit and modify them, until they worked to our liking. And likely put even more explosive filler in them. And made them go faster and longer range. Or at the very least, but a big ass, barbed spike in the end, so it’d punch a small hole that leaked water. And weighed down the ship, if it didn’t blow up, haha. And then probably attacked a spare anchor, to a line, so when it caught bottom. It’d rip a huge gash into the ship, below the water line, cause we do dumb/crazy shit along those lines, or we’d just drive up alongside them, tie off and away boarding parties. Then take their ship from them. Some may doubt that, anyone who knows US Marines, knows wholeheartedly that we’d do that, cause we can, especially if we can make the torps work. And the whole world would be like, behold the Marine, submarine, they use it o my as a boarding vessel, because they are extremely crazy, and stupid, but they took the most ships in world history, capturing thousands of combined ships of military and logistical nature, because they are insane and they only lost 200 Marines in all of WWII, stealing thousands of ships. Everyone knows that we’d do that, if only allowed to.

As far as the war thing, it's important to note that there have been long stretches of time when we didn't have a war officially declared, but that didn't mean we weren't fighting someone somewhere.

It ended up looking funny enough to the leading group that it was kept in and was even referenced in the temple of doom…

10:51 Search "Defence of foreign legations, Peking, China, June 20th to Aug. 14th, 1900. " in google, library of congress. It's a map of the Legation District with built fortifications outlined in red. The map can be a bit tricky to read because part of it is doubled, so it requires a bit of mental transposition. For a bit of context, the Tartar Wall is one of the defensive walls encompassing Beijing city. It is ~45ft high and ~40 wide. The position then Pvt. Daly was defending was one of the barricades atop this wall that were set up to deny the Boxers (and later the Chinese army) access to the advantageous position it would grant next to the American, Russian, and German Legations, which were positioned nearly against this wall. Barricades were erected facing roughly east and west on the wall, with the western facing barricades being manned by US Marines and the eastward facing barricades being manned by German soldiers (initially, Marines eventually manned both directions).

Good follow me, lets kick ass and win this shit and everyone will know our names even if we die.

[@Brutalyte616]

I've always interpreted it as a sarcastic and backhanded insult about how cowards would avoid danger to try and stay alive. So put another way he'd be asking 'Do you want to live forever in shame?' rather than 'Do you want to live on forever as a hero?', and was essentially daring everyone to come die with him. Kind of like how the phrase 'It's a good day to die.' is meant to be used sarcastically or ironically with the intent that it's NEVER a good day to die, rather than as a declaration of one's willingness to die in any given circumstance. But again, that's just my interpretation, and the wording kind of invites individual use.

From what I understand that scene in Indianna Jones, Harrison Ford was actually not feeling well on set that day. And because of this, he didn’t feel up to doing the whole fight, so he simply pulled the gun and fired. However, the director loved it so much they kept it in.

[@icemanxidkp]

so back in those days it was more then likely a water cooled maxim machine gun it would take 2 people to carry the gun and 1 to carry the tripod and 1 to carry the water to cool it he was stuck in one spot

[@bluelick7578]

The scene in Indiana Jones was shot after they had re-filmed and reshot that scene a LOT of times and everyone was tired. Harrison Ford was tired, the crowd was tired, the guy with the sword was tired and they all went along just to end the day. Now the guy with the sword must've been pissed that they picked THAT scene for the movie, but in the end, if he would've stayed up, the scene would've been useless anyway.

I dunno what machine gun he was manning, but given the time. It woulda had to been a maxim or a colt 1895 ‘potato digger’ and the rifle woulda been the weird like 6 something mm that only the Navy and US Marines used, I can’t remember the name of it, but it was stupid high velocity, and just ate barrels a great rifle of they had 50 years or so technological advancement in metallurgy, it was pretty low recoil, long and fairly heavy bullets going something 2900 or 3000 fps if I remember right. Was the first adopted rifle and round of that type. It was the Lee something, or something Lee. If you recreated it today. You’d have something like the 6.5 Grendel or whatever similar round. Which essentially what they did, whether or not they knew they did that.

[@CaptoftheHaggister]

Your actually a little wrong about Indiana Jones shooting the sword guy. Harrison Ford and much of the film crew was sick with dysentery at the time. Ford felt absolutely horrible and shooting a long fight scene would be too taxing on everyone. So Ford asks Spielberg if he could just shoot the guy and get the scene over with. Spielberg thought it would be a funny scene and knew the crew was sick he gave the go ahead. You are right about the guy being mad through.

[@rmartinson19]

The only thing the Fat Electrician got wrong in this video was Dan Daly's age when he signed up. He was actually 25 when he enlisted, not 16. Also, interesting fact about the Boxer Rebellion: The reason so many Chinese people had such a hate-boner for Christian missionaries in particular was not necessarily because they were spreading a Western religion, but because Christianity had developed a reputation in China as a religion of pure evil. This is because after the end of the Opium Wars, one of the concessions the French forced on the Chinese government was a requirement that Christians in China must be immune to prosecution under the law. This was intended to prevent the kinds of official or semi-official persecution of Christians that had happened before in both China and Japan. Instead, the result was that every two bit rapist, murderer, bandit and slaver officially converted to Christianity and became instantly above the law in China. Across the country, gangs of "Christians" tormented people with impunity, and to the average Chinese person it looked like Christianity had created a massive wave of banditry and crime, and so everything to do with Christianity came to be considered completely, irredeemably evil by a huge swathe of the Chinese population.

Oh also, lots of if not most people just laugh when you say something like they believed they were impervious to bullets, but from a military standpoint that’s terrifying, they are highly trained, motivated, dedicated individuals, that believe that and are in fact fanatical, who out number you, are looking to fight you in a city, mostly at night…in the 1890’s, flash lights aren’t a thing…better have a fire lit, for extra light, but they will wreck your ability to see completely, so no go on that. Unless it’s a couple hundred yards away, and you get a small area of light, but someone has to maintain it, militarily you completely blind at night in that era, except a dozen feet or so. Sure a city back then and rioting. Probably with fires lit, you can see further, but not far. And you touched a little bit on it, then being trained and fit, and fanatics. That makes them very dangerous, as they will attack long after others woulda gave up.
