How's this for irony.

Not playing coy, not fucking around. How about you take a break and remove the large, barbed pole from your arse UT. USP was put in their for comparison purposes only, HK based on advice of people with a shitload more experience than me. Primary reasons being extreme durability and ruggedness you talk about combined with thoroughness of testing. Basically, it keeps working no matter what you do to it. Tactical isn't a big factor, I don't believe you can purchase the decent silencer above board, HK laser sights and torches fit most models equally, tactical or not. Not cheap but for a good reason (the weapon itself).

As for military service I think it'd actually be a good thing to do but at this point I can't afford 6-9months for something non-essential that'll affect my ability to get things done.
