To be quite accurate, it translates closer to just "fire at balls", without specifying too much at whose, but... Even though we do tend to quarrel with each other quite a lot, we 90% of the time know to aim at the enemy when it comes to war times.

@Velgar_Grim The 10% being in 1918 I guess...

Yeah, we take our personal space seriously. So if you plan to invade it, know that no matter the outcome, you will have great regrets about it!

Damn you Finland, you don't shoot a guy in the balls!

@Svenskefan indeed. there is a certain unwritten RULES, in the world! XD

@a_norwegian_guy "b-b-but..."

@a_norwegian_guy It would made a good deterrent. I believe men are more likely to surrender if you point at their crotches than if you point at their heads. Priorities straight.

@Svenskefan ayyy that reference D

@Svenskefan what about traps! ( girls with balls )

@ChineseNz2003 More understandable but still not ok.

@Svenskefan in china its sha ri ben gua when kill japanese demon... my family members watch too much chinese dramas

@Svenskefan Oh my god, Finland, you can't just shoot people in the balls.

@ShylokVakarian
Your avatar´s expression fits that very well

@Svenskefan AFAIK that's the fastest way to get almost any guy to stop trying to kill you.

Brother Usa: Dude, I know the nazis were terrible but you just don't shot someone on the balls!

Sister Usa: Hey Finland... do you give classes?

Facts like this make me feel more and more prouder of our country

@saunaprincess responses like these make me feel more like a prince. <3

Imagine being to the Soviet soldier hearing that and knowing Finnish. It would freak me out!

@ApplesRock We ARE scary

@RandomPaintHead that's true

GODDAMNIT BUTTERS STOP SHOOTING PEOPLE IN THE DICK

@NapalmRocks666 OK, OK, I'll stop, I'll stop

@NapalmRocks666 THAT IS NOT COOL BUTTERS!

@NapalmRocks666 ya butters you cute little fay boy stop shooting people in the dick

@NapalmRocks666
No we wont.
2017 islamic terrorist attack in Turku was ended by our police shooting the attacker's dick off.

It's actually because of the gun's recoil. Aim at the dingdongs, hit anywhere above them. It's slagging hilarious tho.

@D_Kuza For bolt-action rifles, there's no automatic or burst fire. However, some rifles had the "default" setting (or even fixed sights in case of the Carcano rifles) at 300 meters, whereas the usual ranges are much less - around 150 meters. Since the trajectory arcs up, aiming low hits a few inches higher.

Not "their", but "the". Thought it's still funny

How about "hakkaa päälle": I think it might be more known, even Civ V has a troop for the swedish named hakkapelites

@Finnjaveln Fire at their balls is funnier.

@Finnjaveln "Hakkapelite" or "Hakkapeliitta" was actually a nickname for Finnish soldiers during the time Finland was part of Sweden. While Sweden is known for inventing the most efficient musket tactics (very strict rules and so on), Finnish soldiers were less trained in tactics, but absolutely horrifying when they got the charge command. A Russian commander hearing that "HAKKAA PÄÄLLE!" warcry knew that there would be an insane group of bayonet wielding Finns coming straight into their trenches. With shot accuracy what it was back in the day it was very effective to have people just rush in and take the battle to close quarters. They just couldn't kill enough attackers to even out the fact that not too many soldiers were trained in defensive close combat. Finns on the other hand were very much used to using knifes and bayonet was pretty much just a knife with more reach.

@Finnjaveln I know its a long time from this but... Someone other knows Civ V im so happy!

Seems to be true:

@Karen Indeed it is true. (No sarcasm there or here or anywhere right now)

You are everywhere

@Sotka Hehe, I'd been looking for a chance to get rid of all of the false "facts" that were littering up the site Was finally given one about a week ago, so I made use of it!

@Karen Nice

@Sotka damn you finns are violent

@o98 Well, when 1 000 000 Russians show up uninvited at your door step, intending to annex your country into an extreme left wing dictatorship, you don't offer them tea.
And we are not knife-wielding hillbillies living in the woods, thank you very much.

@DarkMage7280 i didnt call you hillbillies is called you violent, nothing bad meant im just a bit shocked because of the battlecry

@o98 "Tulta munille" Is actually still used in the defence forces (every male in Finland still goes through 6-12 months of army training or civil service). The official order is "tulta!" (fire!), but it's rare if your squad leader doesn't add the "munille" (at the balls) part in there.

@DarkMage7280
Yes, the half millennium spent perfecting the fFnnish people to defend our eastern boarder did seem to work out well, even if it was your eastern boarder then and no longer ours.

@DarkMage7280;
And russians, in proportion, lost more soldiers than finns, and thought russians technically won both wars, they never got Finland, only relatively small parts of it.

Ok lets get serious then.. the "fire at their balls" is fairly modern command.
It accounts for the muzzle rise.

I wanna laugh until I die of crying.

I'll add this to my RP with my Finnish friend on Wattpad.

@ThatKawaiiKiwi_ ikr

"If a man says he is not afraid of dying, he is either lying or is a Gurkha"

"Gurkhas (soldiers recruited from Nepal), are considered to be one of the top elite millitary units of the world serving in Indian Army and British Army since centuries. Such is the reputation of Gurkhas that their loyalty, ambition, ferocity and resolve remains unmatched. They never hold themselves back in any combat and prefer death over surender which makes them one of the most feared soldiers in the world. They have won the respects all over the world, even of their enemies."

Oh, Finland. Please, never change.

yep... sounds like something only the finns could come up with
