Men in leather and kilts with axes, swords, guns and attitude (and then there is Mouse, but we let him stay) why would anyone want to go anywhere else?

Thank you for waking me up Fraser! :)


Drac, I happen to know that Mouse has a rather large sword of his own...  ;)


Of course, I've never seen him actually use it... but our Mouse could be hiding all sorts of talents behind that mild-mannered exterior, you know.  :0



(sorry for the triple post, but the Rodent must occasionally be defended if he is to survive to scurry another day!)  :D

 I kinda like the look of the AT4-CS
Yeah, that came out a few years ago as a direct result of soldiers bytching about the inability to fire any anti-armour weapons in CQ environments, ESPECIALLY considering 90% of our combat theaters these days are urban.

QuoteBesides, unless you order some of the HEAT or the AT8 options then it really isn't up to handling heavy armor, only light to medium weight vehicles and unreinforced buildings, so it's use is limited for anything more serious than urban warfare...
Depends. We were punching through T-72s with .50 rounds in Iraq due to the Russians seriously dropping the ball on their exported models. Even an M-72 would go through that junk. Against an M1A2 series, well, I can't think of ANY anti-armour that would do more than blow treads and give the crew a headache. Damned things survive airstrikes. That being said, they ARE very, very vulnerable to something, but I am NOT about to mention that publicly :D

:P  Sooo... are you saying I'm NOT a girlie-girl, then?  That just because my Barbies were ALWAYS the ones who had to go in and save GI Joe's @$$ when I was little, that this somehow makes my pouty, lip-quivering, up-from-under-the-eyelashes glance less.. effective? 

Perhaps a small... demonstration... will be in order at some point...?  :P 


Believe me, darlin'... I know how to use weapons you don't even know EXIST;)  :D

I used to take a black pen to my Barbie dolls' eyes and give them black "eyeliner". True story. My mom said it was my inner punker coming out. lol...

Pretty much everything on the other end of my radio would kill a tank. If it didnt kill it, it made a bunch noise and looked cool.

hehheh...yeah we got some bad a$$e$ out here... I'm just a laid back individual. My dad was the one with a wild streak... like the time he buzzed some fishermen on Lake Ouachita (Arkansas) while at the yolk of a B-47...  Damn...I sure miss him!

My Barbies used to get "modified" camo stolen from GI Joe, who didn't need them anymore because he was pretty much always tied up, naked, in the "jungle"  (read: backyard) somewhere, waiting to be rescued.  I always insisted on the flat footed Barbies, also, because the pointy toed ones couldn't wear decent boots...  ;D  

Of course, then I discovered M-80's... and all the Barbies AND the GI Joes... died.  Painfully... One. By. One.  :o  But it was ok, because I had discovered that they were all spies, so they had to be executed.  After a fair trial, of course!!!  :P  

Yes, I was an... interesting... child.

He sounds like fun!  My dad once went fishing with a hand grenade.  We had fish for weeks!


I don't like fish much, anymore...  :P

My love for fishing died when I was a kid and the flopping fish scared me when I reeled it in. lol... But I will say, I can still fish if I needed to.

Last time I went fishing, I caught a drunk.

Methinks a B-47 has a slight size advantage over a hand grenade...  ;)

Did I tell you the story about the time a B-47 crashed down the street? ...true story...really!...I slept through it...really!
