  1. Stephen King's "The Stand" rocked me pretty hard the first time I read it.

     

    I'd grown up with good vs. evil in TV, books and movies. Everyone has, but The Stand was different. The fear was believable, the scale was incredible and the level of detail was right down to the song that was on the radio when the world went to hell.

     

    That tv series was the bomb. I especially love the parts with the Army. :D

  2. Here's the SCAR (Special Operation Forces Combat Assault Rifle). It will be used by all SOCOM forces, which includes Rangers. That means I might be getting the chance to use one of these in the near future (w00t)

     

    This is the SCAR-L, which fires 5.56mm ammunition:

    This is the SCAR-H, which fires 7.62mm ammunition:

  3. Here's the M249 SAW:

     

    It's a b*tch to carry over long distances though :lol:

    It's also worthless in the desert. Remember that if you get stuck with one.

    just wondering... why is it worthless in the desert?

    It jams. It jams early and it jams often. And since you have to take the thing halfway apart to clear one...

     

    As long as you keep short controlled bursts, it usually doesn't jam. Unless you get a lot of crap in there like sand, you should be fine. But I agree, they are a b*tch to get cleared out of a jam. The M240B's are worse though in my opinion. Here's a picture of one:

    The funny thing about these is that if you fire too many rounds within a certain period of time, the barrel will get so hot that it will actually melt. We had that happen during FTX when one of the machinegunners was laying down suppressing fire. So what you have to do is periodically swap out the barrel when putting down heavy fire for an extended period of time.

  4. Well, I know the "make your own ice cream" trick. Does that make me a scientist? :D

     

    I think that chemistry is my favorite branch of science. Nothing like playing with chemicals and bunsen burners :wub:

  5. Alrighty then, I've decided to start up my old weapon thread again. Pretty much anything goes; vehicles, aircraft, you name it. So start posting your favorites. Here's one of my favorites:

    The M4 carbine. And even though it is not shown in the picture, I would preferably have an M68 sight mounted on it.
