Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

i will modify my statement, once i have retreated to a place of solid cover, bulett stopping kind of cover, i would indeed lurk there, and wait for a possible approach of a heavily armed combatant, siezing an opportunity to drill his ass like a kuwaiti oil field, but i would definitely not engage him in an open setting, again my survival cancells out all other programming. all i would probably have is my disruptor, and one loaded magazine- that does not a hero make.

Chauvinistic Barbara Streisand!
ETA much later; quite coincidentally I was reminded of Delacroix's Liberty Leading the People.

Welcome but I never got to see the alleged attack! Dammit!
Farkles obviously doesn't know I'm the only one with a license to attack on OCDO.
Spartacus, James Spartacus...

Never bring a pistol to a long gun fight. Only use it if absolutely necessary to aid in fleeing to the safest location to hole up with a long gun.
Quite the opposite! Always bring a pistol to a long gun fight. It's your back up and in close quarters or tight places, your more maneuverable primary weapon. Same is true of a knife.

You are a Very Wise Man. Or woman, as the case may be.
I tell my clients that they are the queen, and it's our job to keep them as happy & comfortable as possible while they do their job (getting the baby out). One of these days I'll actually show up to a birth with a tiara to crown her, at least temporarily.
During labor, nothing else matters but her. Nothing. If you happen to fall asleep, & she wants you, rise with a smile & go to her and tell her how beautiful she looks right then. Especially if she's looking a little haggard... that's when she needs to hear it most.
I think the compromise Shane & his lady worked out would have worked for them if sis hadn't been such a... um... well, I don't think I'm allowed to say things like that here. Probably shouldn't say them anyway (seeing as how I try to keep up appearances of being a polite person)
but I'll think 'em loudly in her direction.Yeah, it does seem a bit uneven to go out with the guys unarmed, but want it at the hospital. Life isn't fair, and there are several reasons (already well stated) for the apparent discrepancy.

Umm....a pistol more maneuverable? No offense but have you ever cleared a building? It may seem easier, but it really isn't. Your accuracy and stopping power are extremely low. Nothing is better than something like an M4.

I've heard the quote that one uses the pistol/handgun to FIGHT their way to the LONG GUN! LOL

You believe an M4 is more maneuverable?

I know it is, from real life to training.

Really? Take your M4 into a phone booth and see how well you can maneuver it compared to a pistol. I'd love to watch.

I know what you are saying, but no one clears spaces that small!!! I personally have never seen a room that small. The only place I can think of that a pistol would be better would be a tunnel like the VC dug during Nam.

FYI, phone booths don't even really exist anymore. Sorry Superman, where will you change?
The reason to bring a handgun to a long gun fight is not for maneuverability. I believe it would be for the purpose of a weapon malfunction. That way if your primary long gun goes down it will be faster to transition to your handgun until you are in a safe enough place to take care of malfunction. An M-4 is very maneuverable It is an SBR (short barrel rifle) the M-4 barrel is only 14.5" long. and varies between 29.8" and 33" over all length because of the collapsable stock. As far as close range goes an M-4 is zeroed at 25 meters due to the flight path of the bullet it also crosses the same plane at 300meters. I would also perfer an M-4 over a handgun any day in a survival situation.
The only place i could see a pratical use of a handgun as a primary weapon over a long gun would be close range in a vechile. (shotgun beat me to it as i was editing my post by one minute)

You seem to be hung up with the notion that clearing a room is the only activity or circumstance in which you'll find yourself. Can't find a phone booth? Try while sitting behind the wheel of your car then.
Also, think of an opponent who is within arm's reach of you.
Have I ever cleared a building? Not within the past two days... but three days ago, yes.
Arms reach i would just jab barrel into them and pull trigger pretty efficetive. but if i was carrying an M-4 and got in to this situation I would be mad because my situational awerness would be really shitty. Due to violence of action and moving as an assulting force i should never get that close to an enemy combatant.
