And the same goes for DA/SA or SA-only automatics. Most tend to have manual safeties, some have de-cockers only or can be transformed to that configuration.

I'll just add most (all?) revolvers have no manual safety other than a heavier and long double action pull on the trigger.

The recent Sig P 320 chosen by the US Army has variants with no manual safety and doesn't have the trigger safety.

It still has internal safeties but there have been issues with accidental discharges with the earlier productions.

Just East of the Midwest duh.

Going with flammable material for the hood was a poor choice. Not very breathable too.

I don't know, the first one was cobbled up together from early access by programmers at a marketing firm and while janky (part of the charm some would say), it was quite an achievement.

The approach which should have delivered better results was wrecked with takeovers and company drama then dumped to the public in a bad state.

Switzerland doesn't have the same sheet weight Brazil has.

And it probably doesn't wants to ruffle big US tech companies with so many having their big European HQs in Zurich.

Such a tragedy. And that was a game that just needed a tech upgrade, expand a bit, more of the same, nothing crazy.

Yeah the "just given them X" is how they got into a mess botching executions.

Killing people realibly and quickly has been perfectly fixed for centuries but they want to make a barbaric act look civilized, clean, even clinical.

A guillotine would be cheaper, perfectly reliable, quick, painless, fittingly antiquated looking for an antiquated practice. But it makes a mess and conjures images of angry Frenchmen getting rid of the ruling elite.

I hope all Americans come one day to realize how horrible, ineffective and unnecessary state mandated executions are.

They take their Hippocratic Oat seriously thankfully.

And the Bible being a justification for state executions is such a horrible excuse.

We could justify all sorts of other wacky things with a messy collection of ancient tales.
