    One things sure; the Russians and Chinese found money to stand up their space forces. We should do no less.
    Considering the USAF was flying over MIG Alley in F-86 Sabres when the Army still had horse cavalry? Yeah I think maybe it's time.

    Whether you think you can or you can't, you're probably right.

    Which of the contemporary pistol options will be chosen by the Space Force?

    Will they be commissioning something special, instead?

    If you have a fairly small group of people in a command that is now designated as its own branch, what sort of career path are they going to have that isn't incestuous (in a bureaucratic sense)? I suspect that a smaller group like that will become ossified at a very high rate.
    If we have to march off into the next world, let us walk there on the bodies of our enemies.

    My kid and I used to watch Robotech when she was little. I regret I will not live long enough to see space dreadnoughts!

    The A-1 Disintegrator, of course.
    And it goes well with the new uniform!

    I don't know about the pistol, but the long gun will be the Phased Plasma Rifle in the 40 Watt-Range.

    There used to be long discussions in Glock fora about whether a Glock would work in space. Of course, shooting Glocks underwater was a popular thread then. Some experts said the gun wouldn't work in space due to the lack of oxygen (OH, well - can you say back to Chemistry 1301).

    On Battlestar Galactica, the FN Five-seveN was the fleet side arm. That four barrel COP was a CCW gun.
