Ignorance of the Press

[Bill K]

High "capacity" machete.
Just look how many can be killed by it, so fast and it does not even need a high capacity magazine. That should scare the hell out of the anti's.

machete is a general term that identifies a sword-like blade (tool) used for cutting through plants and undergrowth. It is not a singular item of identification such as kukri.

When I wore a vest, the only part of it that would stop a knife blade was the chest plate. Not sure if there are blade proof ones currently.

I watched some vids on youtube a while ago that carried one through the testing and acceptance procedures of becoming a Gurka. Very interesting. No idea if they are still up.

For example, many years ago a reporter was doing an article on integrated circuits and was interviewing people at my company. The reporter insisted on saying 'silicone' [i.e., the rubbery stuff like silicone sealant] for the material we used which was silicon [pronounced sili ken]. You should have seen the look of disgust on her face when I tried to give her the correct pronounciation!

One of my pet peeves. "Silicon Sealer." "Silicone Carbide."

if its manufacturer sells it as a machete , thats its name

if its manufacturer sells it as a machete , thats its name

And on an interview video, the police officer giving the briefing called it a machete. Bottom line...machete, kukri, Bowie or just 'big effing knife', it really isn't the story. Three officers down is.
