Someone commented on my “Getting Faster with the M9A4” short saying small arms are irrelevant — that war was mechanized in 1918 and pistols are just for policing.

Here’s my full rebuttal.

In this video, I break down:

Why I’m not “waging war” with my M9A4 — it’s for home defense, woods carry, and personal readiness.

The reality of mechanized warfare — tanks are expensive, tear up infrastructure, and the government can’t maintain roads as it is.

Why militaries still issue rifles & pistols if they supposedly don’t matter.

Historical proof — the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, Vietcong, and Real IRA all challenged better-equipped forces.

Thermal imaging limitations — from my experience as a Marine and infrared thermographer, I explain why IR can’t see through windows, tree canopies, or rock.

How wars are actually won — public opinion matters, and high civilian casualties only fuel insurgencies.

Whether it’s history, modern combat, or a hypothetical U.S. civil conflict — small arms still have a place.
