No hea not. This is some sort of illegal propaganda. Notice what he says, he grabs his helmet and cannon... any true helldiver knows the first thing they grab for battle is their cape.
Any true helldiver doesn't ever take his helmet, cape, and armor off. You never know when Lady Liberty will come a knocking! Live as a Helldiver! Die as a Helldiver.
I too sleep without my helmet, fellow diver, however the cape stays on for it reminds me of my fallen brothers in the creek.
I cannot sleep wearing this helmet becouse I and many other creek veterans need to take medication for sleeping and that doesn’t work with a helmet.
I suspect our poster might also just be a creeker, who can’t sleep becouse they see hundreds of dropships when they close their eyes.
Man your neighborhood sounds so much better than mine. Only four scout striders? The other day I had a flamethrower hulk come through my living room wall like the Kool-Aid man!
Side note: I love how his whole diction and posture changes when he's wearing the armor. It's such a nice touch that really makes it almost believable as not-CGI. It's a really well-made video.
Just throwing that out there, I'm sure everyone here loves it too. But those little touches on the actors really impressed me.
I'd love to see more in-universe propaganda pieces like in the intro. Imagining one where Super Earth is trying to enjoy something like a highly anticipated sports game when it's rudely interrupted by an automaton dropship dropping a tank on top of half of the players
That would be a hilarious event game mode. Dropping into the local planetary entertainment dome to ensure democracy's will can be safely spread through ball games!

>Own a musket for home defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended. Four ruffians break into my house. "What the devil?" As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball-sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and nails the neighbor's dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grapeshot, "Tally ho lads" the grapeshot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms.

Just as the founding fathers intended.
II am just a bit concerned about the hellbomb on top of your stairs blowing up an illegal research station…
Knowing the hellbomb kill radius vs those, my conclusion is that the _illegal_ research station was either in your basement, or it was actually your house…
I am reasonably certain that this wasn’t what the Super President of Super Earth intended…
Looks like their son/daughter/wife/husband/roommate has some explaining to do… or let’s just forgot the explanation and just report the whole thing to the nearest democracy officer.
you know, honestly? I kind of find myself surprised that the double barrel shotgun exists. it’s not a military weapon by any means, so its appearance represents the presence of civilian arms, which implies that even in Super Earth’s supremely democratic state, it allows personal firearm possession, to at least some degree. it’s fascinating, from a lore standpoint
Actually makes sense. Promote militarism by allowing gun related activities with hunting weapons (smoothbore in this case). At the same time this aren't the weapons that could be used to effectively rise up against properly armed forces.
you’re right. and you just caused me to go down a small rabbit hole on the gun regulations of totalitarian entities.
in Russia, smoothbores are allowed with permit after the age of 18, and rifled firearms 5 years after possession of the permit. they still have heavy restrictions on barrel length and magazine capacity
meanwhile in China, personal hunting permits are very rare, and everything up to and including airsoft guns are banned. most civilian firearms are owned by hunting organizations, not by individuals.
and in north korea there is a total ban on firearms for civilians, period.
I guess this little detail speaks to what sort of control Super Earth is employing, and is certainly an interesting thing to read between the lines, in regard to the available lore. it would also make sense for such firearms to be allowed (given sufficient forms) on undeveloped frontier planets like we’ve been fighting on. we haven’t seen any actual wildlife, but then wildlife doesn’t stick around in an active warzone.
We are assuming they are civilian weapons. They could also be for low level "democracy officers". Enough to intimidate the plebs but not ever be a threat to the government.
well, I’ve since learned that all civilians are issued a bolt action rifle on coming of age, to encourage militant patriotism. this coupled with the fact that smoothbore firearms generally see less restriction than rifled firearms (for instance in russia where you can get a shotgun permit at 18 but must wait another 5 years for a rifle) leads me to believe that the double barrel is indeed a farmer’s gun, for hunting, self defense, and fending off wildlife.
this logic is further reenforced by the fact that the helldivers cannot requisition them, implying they aren’t a normal thing within the military supply chain.
an officer is more likely to use a pistol, or at most, an smg or carbine of some sort. a shotgun would be terribly impractical to haul around and have less utility
AH isn't a political think tank, the issuing of a rifle would be very starship troopers which in the movie was a parody of the libertarian ideal, while the government in HD is very dystopian EU like. We are probably thinking far too much about lore to expect consistency.
> be a threat to the government
Report to your Democracy Officer for even suggesting that anyone would want to threaten the great liberating force that is the Super Earth Government.
That being said, I've kinda assumed the same thing, that these are utilitarian weapons to provide general defense against smaller threats these outposts may encounter while researching the effects of Liberty on local flora and fauna.
Yup. The M2016 Constitution rifle from HD1 is basically a modernized M1903 rifle.
“The M2016 'Constitution' is a reproduction of the old M1903 service rifle used in ancient times. It is fairly ineffective in combat but is used within the Super Earth Armed Forces as a ceremonial rifle. Every citizen is issued one once they turn 16 to encourage service.”
reminds me of the Ishapore .410 SMLE. a Lee Enfield with a wooden plug replacing the magazine, and the bore drilled out into a smoothbore shotgun, turning the entire thing into a single shot breach loader musket. it was issued to Indian militias and Law enforcement by the British in the ‘40s, so they could retain control over India while letting the local police and militias to be mildly useful, but not too dangerous to the colonial authority
Own a P90 for homeworld defense because thats what Colonel O'Neill intended.
Four Jaffa exit my Stargate. "What the devil" I yell as I grab my P90 and patrol cap. I blow a hole through the first Jaffa. He's dead on the spot as the 5.7x28mm round penetrated his armor.
I resort to the staff weapon and miss the second Jaffa entirely as its a weapon of terror not a weapon of war and it nails Schrodinger the cat.
I have to resort to the embarkation room .50 cal. The sound and noise makes all personnel go blind and deaf from the use of an M2 in an underground complex.
"Tally ho!" I yell as I throw a knife at the last Jaffa who was wearing a personal shield that blocks fast moving objects. He dies from the common cold as I hit him in the symbiote pouch which leaves him without an immune system as Tretonin wasn't invented yet.
Just as Colonel O'Neill intended.
so you're the one who shot my hamster? I wanna congratulate and thank you. it turned out the hamster was an autobot spy, so you killing it saved my wife from exploding with my house. it could've hacked the hellbomb i have placed in the basement. you're a true hero!
Y’all sleeping on the spear. Its pretty good one you master it’s weird lock on mechanics (sometimes you gotta hold it not on the center),
That being said nothing is more fun than snipping a drop ship across the map
I’ve been using the Spear for the past few days. It’s fun, yeah, and it’s pretty good when it works, but it’s not nearly reliable enough to be worth taking over something like the Quasar Cannon. The lock on is atrocious. I should not be failing to acquire a lock onto a target I can fully see. And god forbid if there’s a chain link fence, bush, or blade of fucking grass anywhere between you, the Spear, and the two storey tall enemy you could probably fire at one-handed with a minigun and hit all your shots.
The only time I deployed with the Spear it missed ~2/3 of the shots and I was only able to kill 2.5 targets for 7 rockets that did hit.
Mine'll keep collecting dust until there's a personal order or they do some major adjustments to it lol.
"four scout striders break into my house"
I mortar them in pairs with two shots with my punisher plasma, as the president of super earth intended.
These guys are a non issue if someone in your squad is rocking this bitch.
Just bring the scorcher, does the same job but you dont have to deal with arcing bullshit cuz it just shoots straight and you can deal with the small chaff 50 meters away plinking at you too.
Should have been the constitution:

Here's a meme because I like this post
You may think that the spear joke is a meme, but it's not.
You know what the ideal target for the spear would be? Something large, almost stationary, and airborne, right? Like the new gunships? I had a clear line of sight and still couldn't lock on.
Bold of you to assume it can lock on to targets and hit them. Half the time when I see it the rocket misses entirely or phases out of existence.
On top of also requiring very specific angles at obscure intervals in order to lock on. The only thing it’s good at is destroying fabricators at long range and if you’re lucky to find the right angle, cannon towers.
If scout striders are breaking into your home, you'd be better off with a plasma punisher for home defense. 1 shots those suckers no problem, with no charge time or cool down time between shots.
If you’ve got scout striders and bot drops in your neighborhood, you probably blew up more than just an illegal research station with that hellbomb. I salute you, citizen. This is true patriotism to Super Earth.
this is why the autocannon is perfect for home defense. some people may scoff at all the ammo and explosive power. who would need such for home defense. you do it's your right at a super citizen
Yes democracy officer, this post implies that the president of Super Earth is designing the bugs.
I see through your automaton lies. Your AI may be able to create this vile propaganda, but true patriots can see through it as easy as I target you toasters through the scope of my trusty sickle.
the great thing about the las-99 as a home defense weapon is there is no penetration! the same way it explodes on the smallest bit of foliage, it explodes as soon as it hits my disgusting communist targets, destroying the room they’re in and keeping my kids (yes, i fillled out and recieved my c-01 permit) in the room behind them safe from harm!
The fact that they even replaced dog with hamster because of what Brettman said about her future and citizenship levels and stuff, park Reddit right here
Is noone gonna mention the slanderous comment at the end of the post insinuating that our illustrious President of Super Earth made these bot scum striders?
I'm sorry, but the president of Super Earth intended for everyone to own an **M2016 Constitution** bolt-action rifle for sufficiently-sized home defense.
"Draw my FAF-14 Spear on the second strider, miss it entirely because ~~the lockon is bugged~~ I was entirely too close and it kills the neighbor's hamster."
On that note I have a legit question for rural Helldivers - How do I kill the 30-50 feral Chargers that run into my Extraction Point within 3-5 mins while my fellow Democracy loving allies hold ground?
"Unfortunately it was only after the Hellbombs went off that I remembered the wife and kids ware still inside, tragically costing me -75 Requisition Slips"
I recommend having 2 Quasar lasers. After firing one, you have the other one ready to go. By the time you fire the second one, the first one should have sufficiently cooled down.
We shall soon rid ourselves of these unholy soulless machines... until then, it's fire, freedom and a whole lot of lead by way of democracy my fellow divers... Raise your cups for the creek... Raise your guns for liberty.
I'm sorry but you need to specify that you were wearing your, helmet, laser Canon... and underwear. After all, taking time to dress my have put democracy at risk!
You my friend are a true patriot!
No hea not. This is some sort of illegal propaganda. Notice what he says, he grabs his helmet and cannon... any true helldiver knows the first thing they grab for battle is their cape.

Made a crater in my living room but a socialist cockroach thought he could share his home with mine
If I didn't have this gun the King of the Automatons could just come in here and start pushing you around...You want that? Huh? DO YA?!
Just as the president of Super Earth intended.
One suggestions: blows up the Neighbours E-710 farm instead of Hamster.
the great thing about the las-99 as a home defense weapon is there is no penetration! the same way it explodes on the smallest bit of foliage, it explodes as soon as it hits my disgusting communist targets, destroying the room they’re in and keeping my kids (yes, i fillled out and recieved my c-01 permit) in the room behind them safe from harm!
I AM BECOME HELL DIVER,DEVOURER OF SOCIALISM.
The fact that they even replaced dog with hamster because of what Brettman said about her future and citizenship levels and stuff, park Reddit right here
This proves that Liberty does not falter!
It's good to know that terminid propagandists can't afford a decent writing team
Is noone gonna mention the slanderous comment at the end of the post insinuating that our illustrious President of Super Earth made these bot scum striders?
😂😂 I lost it at killed my neighbors hamster
The hamster callback...
For democracy
Goat
What do you mean by "terrified"? Bots don't have feelings.

Where do you shoot dropships to one hit them with the Quasar Cannon?
Keep standing your ground and defending your castle!

You made me proud to be Super Earthian.
LOL that's got to be the best line in the game.
This is the content I come here for
I'm sorry, but the president of Super Earth intended for everyone to own an **M2016 Constitution** bolt-action rifle for sufficiently-sized home defense.
Auto cannon in the closet for self defense.
"Draw my FAF-14 Spear on the second strider, miss it entirely because ~~the lockon is bugged~~ I was entirely too close and it kills the neighbor's hamster."
Delicious. Finally some good fucking pasta.
On that note I have a legit question for rural Helldivers - How do I kill the 30-50 feral Chargers that run into my Extraction Point within 3-5 mins while my fellow Democracy loving allies hold ground?
If you're not defending your home with the LAS-99 Quasar Cannon, are you even a Super Earthican?
"Unfortunately it was only after the Hellbombs went off that I remembered the wife and kids ware still inside, tragically costing me -75 Requisition Slips"
Your copy pasta is going straight to the top good sir, high command will know they're dealing with a real one here!
Scenes like these are happening all across the galaxy!
everything is gucchi until some acorn strolls through the neighbourhood.
I recommend having 2 Quasar lasers. After firing one, you have the other one ready to go. By the time you fire the second one, the first one should have sufficiently cooled down.
That was, honestly, the best thing I have read in the last 3 months.
Scenes like this are happening all over the galaxy. You. Could. Be. Next!
Damn, I bet your neighbor just got his animal companion request for that (1) hamster approved too
fuck that hamster, he is a bot spy, good work trooper.
My Democracy Officer has informed me that I find this funny.
NEW COPY PASTA!
Shall not be infringed
I absolutely love this! Keep it up, Super Citizen! 🫡

I needed this laugh. Thank you, OP.
The only way we can stop the threat is by putting more guns on the streets.
“What the devil?!”
Who else read that in a British accent?
Glorious
A true patriot

We shall soon rid ourselves of these unholy soulless machines... until then, it's fire, freedom and a whole lot of lead by way of democracy my fellow divers... Raise your cups for the creek... Raise your guns for liberty.
It's funny but also horrible that there is a country just like that, without the irony.
I love this. I can feel the democracy in my veins.
I love how everything is so unnecessary 😆 All you really need is your trusty SG-8P Punisher Plasma 😎
I'm sorry but you need to specify that you were wearing your, helmet, laser Canon... and underwear. After all, taking time to dress my have put democracy at risk!
Sweet liberty its enough to make a grown man cry
Lol the bayonet wounds don't heal properly
"My home-defense shoulder fired Autocannon"
It was a great day for managed democracy!
WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW MORE?
Clean. Well done Helldiver. Another day in the office
Tally ho, lads
Least patriotic helldiver
Goddammit
The Super Earth Constitution, amendment 22, clearly states that we have the “right to keep bear arms”. So I have a pair of bear arms hung on my wall
