    My party got seperated in search and destroy the other day, I joined their game and just for fun I rushed them with duel DE's. Killed my whole crew and they were pissed.

    2.03 KDR:rockwoot:

    I do that sometimes when they're playing like idiots. Nothing like an AA-12 shell to the back of the head or an RPG to the ground to get the message across :D

    .87 KDR courtesy of too much Demolition and teaching the lady how to play ;) Some of the best times I've had is when I get a group of people to fill a lobby and we play a specific weapon set, like knives only, or riot shields, or semi-auto pistols only :rockwoot:It's unbelievably quiet when all you hear is riot shields tapping eachother :):

    it's possible that they have Desert Eagles, they DO have the MK 23 Socom, it's the only crew served handgun in the US inventory, the MK 23 only weighs 20lbs though......

    I dont believe that guy for one second. Just the cost efficiency of issuing that sidearm to personnel would be ridiculous. I have heard of M9's and Sig 226's being issued.

    I had a booth owner at a flea market telling passersby that he was a Vietnam vet, as he was sitting in a wheelchair that he moved around with his feet. He said he was a pilot.

    His aircraft of choice? He said he flew F-18's and F-14's for the AIR FORCE 1968-1970.

    The guy was telling the truth. I carried one as a companion piece to the M 134 Minigun I carried around, oh and all my missions were top secret solo ops.....damn now I have to kill you.

    His DI followed him to Iraq? Wait a minute, his DI probably LED him to Iraq. I spose anything could happen. Good thing they went to Iraq cause Desert Eagles aren't designed to function in the jungle. Just what I have heard....:dunno::laugh:

    No, his drill instructor hitched a ride in their double secret urban assault vehicle. Here you can see them patrolling the streets of bagdad. If you look real close you can se the DI in the window with his DE.

    GSG-5 in Iraq

    Oh yeah, I can believe that. I heard a kid (Maybe 18 years old) at a Indy 1500 told me as he picked up a GSG-5 that it was just like the one he carried in Iraq on his last tour. The man standing next to him asked why he would ever carry a .22 into combat. It never fails to amaze me how much BS you hear at a gun show.:dunno:

    I know a guy that used to work where I work that claimed he needed sick leave because he was having ptsd from his tour in Vietnam. He was dead serious. Did I mention he was 35?

    :cool: I had an older guy (who should have known) ask me if my disability was from Vietnam. Dude, I'm 40. No, no it was not. :dunno:

    I bet I met his dad when he came into the gunshop I worked at in Florida. He was in his late 40's maybe 5'8" 350 lbs wearing tiger stripe BDU's and a boonie hat. I didnt know that BDU's were made that big. Anyways he huffed and puffed his way up to the counter to check out a Savage bolt gun in 22-250 claiming that it was exactly the same as the rifle he carried in Vietnam as a "SEAL recon scout sniper" to kill "Japs" with.:rolleyes: My coworker who was a verified SEAL picked up on that and walked over. "Hey Tim guess what? This guy was in the Teams too.. he was a Recon Scout Sniper".:popcorn: Mr TigerStripe went pale and became obviously nervous. Tim who is about 6'4" 240 with practically no body fat started asking him some questions. Mr TigerStripe may have been a SEAL because he went out that door faster than any other customer had before!

    You are mistaken, they come in many calibers all of which are allowed din combat. Remember the 50 Cal BMG, now thats combat.....thats about 700 grains of diplomacy right there

    .50BMG is for a crew served, mounted weapon, to be used in an anti material dissipation role. Ie; you shoot the weapon packs, chest rigs, and building walls.

    Experience: I was top gun with my Ma Deuce in 1st ID
    In 04 and 06, and instructed BLUEFOR on it's use for years.
