I saw a video of Chinese and Indian soldiers with guns on their backs pushing, and chest ramming each other. In the clip I saw, the Indians had the clear advantage in size. The fact that they were, essentially, fighting, but nobody used a weapon they clearly had available, is amazing. However, this is very dangerous behavior as I am certain the quality of the troops runs the whole normal distribution. So, results may vary.
So everybody was Kung Fu fighting, then.
” The fact that they were, essentially, fighting, but nobody used a weapon they clearly had available, is amazing.”
Perhaps they’re not issued ammo.
The instinct to not kill other humans is strong in most people. In the opening days of WWI there were incidents of where small numbers of German and British troops collided unexpectedly, laid down their rifles, and pelted each other with rocks.
