I think that the only reason that was covered as well as it had been, was because the BBC, SkyNews and Euronews, and I think CNN crews lived there.  I believe the footage of the Cement mixer was on a Sky News fixed camera. I could be wrong.

I thought movement attracted the eye by itself.  Didn't matter if you were wearing a cam pattern or OD.  At least that's what I recall from Why Things are Seen

Wish I was joking.  I guess the trigger guard doesn't have enough tension on the back of the trigger group, so it vibrates itself open when I fire rapidly.  I've been trying to decide whether I should just bend it closed a bit to give it more tension, or if I should just go hunting for a new...

I won't defend all of the actions of the Israeli government, with regards to their handling of security issues with the Palestinians.  I've often heard it said that many people who visit Israel, go there supporting the Israeli's and return supporting the Palestinians. That being said, it's...

Just curious, how were your clips loaded opposite of what they should be?  That Garand uses Dual Position feeding so I can's see how that would be an issue.  I've never paid attention to how I put the 8 rounds into the clip, just that there were 8 rounds in there, and I've never had feeding...

I agree with 48Highlander, it's censorship at it's most basic level.  And it's most insidious level.  It offends me that people waste oxygen worrying about what we call the big steel plate that covers the sewer access in the middle of the street.  Or what we call the radio controlled airplane...

I didn't know that Hudson's Bay Company had outlets in 'Nam.  Or is Mekong code for Fraser ;D :dontpanic:

If you read the post again, Steyr being Austrian, would explain his confusion vis a vis their parts having a German NATO Stock Number.  MAN of course is german.

:rofl: :rocket:

http://www.city-journal.org/html/12_4_the_barbarians.html This is a pretty decent if long article that takes a look at some of the problems that seemed to lead into all these troubles.  Note that the article was written in 2002.  After reading it I'm surprised that this didn't happen a few...

We need Chinooks.  They're only built by Boeing.  No other helicopter can do what the Chinook can as far as high altitude heavy lifting is concerned.  Except maybe the Sea Night, which is also built by Boeing.  We need Hercules, because we already have Hercules, and there is no time to...

Drop Zone has a good padded waist belt and shoulder straps that fit on the 64 pattern, Lightweight Rucksack Frame, or Alice frame with no difficulty. FWIW I took my completely non-issue 64 pattern ruck on PLQ, (cordura bag, US lighweight rucsack frame)  all the warrant said was, nice ruck. ...

That is weird, cause 20th regiment RCA is a militia regiment in Edmonton, with a subordinate battery in Red Deer

For a 6 denier polyester bag, they are quite compressible.  This is due to the Silicone coating on the fibres, which also aids in water repellency.  Basically it will compress quite a bit more than a Polarguard Bag which uses the same basic fibre (the difference lies in how those fibres are...

The last one shook our entire compound.  And we're about a mile away. Woke me from my nap too.:P

Jamie, good to see you here.  PM sent Steve

http://www.espritdecorps.ca/military_spin_doctors_tout_task.htm From Espirit de Corps  by way of the Canadian Forces College websight. A pretty good editorial from Scott Taylor of all people.  He's simply pointing out what was said at the press conference wasn't what ended up in the papers.

nobody answered this so I will.  The Wiggy's bags are the best sleeping bags in the world.  If you want me to go into the multi page essay about why this is true, PM me, if you still care.  I'm not saying that the other bags you can get are absolute crap, but I can give you reasons why the...

Not to be jerk or anything.  But a Mini 14 that will shoot into an inch at 200, (.5 moa :o) might be the most accurate mini ever.  I don't know how much it would cost to rebarrel one of those, but in the end wouldn't it just be cheaper, to get one of the other nonrestricted .223s.  But...

Now it just needs some one to take out the magazine safety, and through on a set of hogue flat panel grips and it would be good to go. ;D I have a Belgian made FN High Power, and having dissected it as many times as I have, I can't imagine what would be making the hammers go forward without the...
