Who the fuck buys this shit? I mean nazis, obviously, but this is so fucking tacky and cringe I shudder to imagine the sort of sad sack that feels the need to mod their 20-year-old game console to affirm their obsessive wehraboo tendencies

These were the among the first suggestions that popped up when I searched for Xbox 360 controller button replacements, btw what-the-hell

    Looks like typical gun fetishist stuff, what makes them Nazi bullet casings specifically? 9mm Luger is just the name for “normal” 9x19 rounds as opposed to 9mm Makarov. The big one is a .50 AE which is only used by chuds overcompensating with the largest possible pistol

      OP owes it to themselves to learn more about guns, and to keep in mind Marx's statement about arming the proletariat.

      AliExpress may indeed be full of Nazi shit, but this is not Nazi shit, this is just gun fetishism.

          "Luger" is just the name of some guy who designed guns and died in 1923, is there anything specifically Nazi about this besides that his name is German sounding?

          Another one that sounds really Nazi is Heinrich. Except that Karl Heinrich Marx died over 30 years before Heinrich Himmler was even born. This is just a case of everything German automatically sounding Nazi. Which, like, safe bet in general, but it's a disservice to automatically associate anything German with Nazis, you'll probably find a lot of cool John Brown Gun Club and adjacent folks swearing by 9mm Luger, because it's pretty much unilaterally the best handgun cartridge in the world.

            I hear "Luger" and I think of the handgun heavily associated with nazis that wehraboos cream themselves over

            You'll notice that the names I associated with nazis were Speer and Luger, not Marx or Heinrich

          You should know that the presence of a German name does not indicate it's fascist.

          Especially not if you're going to claim to have read Marx.

            It was the Speer and Luger combo

            And I didn't know 9mm was widely called Luger anyway. I thought it was parabellum

              Yeah 9mm Luger, 9mm Parabellum, 9mm NATO, and 9x19mm are all names for the same common 9mm round everyone uses.

              Also Speer is an American ammo company iirc.

      .50 AE is a toy round, there is nothing interesting about it except BIG and because the Desert Eagle is chambered in it, so only gun losers like it.

        Speer is a very popular ammunition manufacturer.
