Quote:
Cpl. Lonnie Young kneels next to his wounded comrade in high spirits, despite the fact there is a bullet lodged in his back. Young, a Defense Messaging System administrator by trade, learned first-hand that every Marine is a rifleman when the base he was working on in An Najaf, Iraq came under attack by approximately 800 anti-coalition militiamen, April 4, 2004. Young fought alongside seven Blackwater Security personnel in an effort to secure the base.

:eek:. That guy is badass.

[BUGGER]

The pic with the soldier inspecting the guy, it looks like the guy has 2 heads if you look at it from a distance. Like his head could be either one (if u dont pay attention to his left arm).

they're not, they use the standard NATO magazines that the m16/m4/etc uses.

Probably a support guy for a GPMG operator. They don't look like 5.56 rounds. (feel free to correct me if i'm wrong)

Who's this Xanthos, and how'd he get himself banned with one thread?

[AztecWarrior]

Who's this Xanthos, and how'd he get himself banned with one thread?

I asked martyr in IRC: He actually got banned in 2 posts. The first one was really bad.

[martyr]

xanthos said some real ugly stuff and disregarded my warning PM, making another retarded thread in the wrong place. two strikes within 5 min with warning... no bueno.

will you also agree that the SA80/L85 looks fucking sweet with a grenade launcher too? :p

and yeah, absolutely. i did a double-take, it's so sweet.
unlike most weapons, it looks a lot better with the underslung launcher

[AztecWarrior]

unlike most weapons, it looks a lot better with the underslung launcher
What, the .454 Raging Bull isn't supposed to have an M203 grenade launcher?

[Squeeky]

I think the M16/M203 combo is fucking badass.

[martyr]

i think it looks kinda ungainly personally

edit: not so bad with a silver magazine and full stock, though

[Rbstr]

lol, thats one thing i thought i'd never see but in movies, a hot chick with an assult rifle

[martyr]

haha, you've never been to a gun show, have you?

[Rbstr]

ok in a combat/reallife situation, AKA you have to shoot peopl with it

[oddfish]

haha, you've never been to a gun show, have you?

best thing i ever saw was a chick with huge tits holding a fucking Barrett .50 and smiling while all these guys took pictures of her. gun shows are hilarious.

btw. incendiary shotgun shells 4 the win.. bought some at a gunshow not too long ago. never had so much fun. :D :D

[martyr]

rbstr: by averages, women tend to be better shots than men. it's generally attributed to having more patience.

[Biohazzard56]

The M16A3 I think looks weird with an M203, I think that a M4 with SOPMOP Rail looks a lot better.

[Sputty]

"Pow! Ahahaha, scared you Limey s--- AHH!
:rofl: indeed

BTW, I'd rather have an ugly gun that works than a good looking gun that sucks

[Fragmatic]

http://www.journal.com.ph/news.asp?pid=2&sid=7&nid=9346&month=8&day=19&year=2004

Ok, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't most SWAT stuff close quarters, no?

If it is, then why on earth are they using m16s? Wouldn't M4's be better?

[JetRaiden]

yea, I like M4s better overall anyway.

[Sputty]

M4s have some issues, such as overheating, as well as being more expensive than M16A1s or justM16s. The M4 is based off the M16A2, which they aren't using

[AztecWarrior]

I'd rather have a G3 than an M16.

[Everay]

http://www.consolevision.com/members/covers/sms2/rambo.jpg

[Dharkbayne]

:rofl:

MEGA CARTRIDGE!


First blood... part 2.... :doh:

Wouldn't that be... second blood?

[AztecWarrior]

yeah, like you can lug a long rifle round in CQB situations. :rolleyes:
Of all people, a Limey is telling me that rifles need to be smaller. Don't you remember the Zulu war?

[Everay]

i do, ZULU ZULU ZULU!!! that was a fuckin awesome movie.

[Fragmatic]

Of all people, a Limey is telling me that rifles need to be smaller. Don't you remember the Zulu war?

Unfortunately, I don't remember it due to the fact that I wasn't born until 1986.

All I'm saying is a LONG RIFLE is no good in CLOSE QUARTERS, you'd be better off with a pistol that that.

Jesus, is that hard to understand?

i asked Jesus, and y'know what he says?

he said that he was a fan of the M4. he said: "The M4 may not be the greatest of guns in the best of times but it get's the job done and the darn thing is so cute anyways. it's like a mini-M16! Plus, it's got more peripheral attachments than a fucking Sega Genesis!"

amen.
