Every time I see the topic "short arms" I cannot help but think of the old military command "short arm inspection".  Those of you who have served and are 70+ years of age may know WTH I am talking about. :whistling:

When I saw the topic I thought the exact same thing and thought, this should be interesting.

Former US Marine here.  Those of us who could, presented "long arms" as opposed to those who were armed only with "short arms".  We were trained that Air Force guys were never issued, at birth, "long arms".  Maybe you gents, or a moderator, might send our sub-topic over to the Military and Veterans section.  Don't wish to offend those in a family forum.  I'd try it myself, but as a new guy here, "FNG" as we used to say, I'm a buck private who goes where he's told . . .

Done, but any of us non-vet old-timers who have watched lots of old action movies have a good idea what you mean.
