I couldn't find a better thread, so...The Rules of Gunfighting. The redaction was an attrribution, but, I found these statements attributed to just about everybody who has ever written on the subject, when I searched, so, I blakt 'em.

There was one more 'rule' I cropped out:

"The police carry guns to protect themselves, not you."

I put this here, because, if'n a Marine ain't a weapon, then...WTF is?

Oo-RAH!!

I'm kinda impressed with Granny, too.

Very nice. I too am impressed with both of them.

That right there is Hard Corp !!!
Well done ,
Ive Had to stand at Parade rest and snap to attention and salute for like 4 hrs at a Time , i can tell you it fucking wears on you !

The Marines that stand at the Gate at Coronado ( cali) do 8 hr shifts

:lol2: It's bigger than the gun. And that ain't no little gun.

Thats back when a Cell phone was the size of a Toaster

LOLs indeed. I wonder if it makes realistic " piieeww piiieeww" noises too.

The M249 SAW (Squad Automatic Weapon). (Am I correct?)

Attachment 34658

Ya reckon they call this guy 'Preacher'?

nope, they call him Pastor

They were just introducing the SAW when i was getting out of the USMC,
it was the last fully auto firearm i got to shoot ( in the Marines) ,
200 round assault pac loaded with nothing but tracers ,
selector set to 1000 rounds a Minet ,
RRRRRRRRUUUUUPPP !!!!!!!
it was like a Fricken Lazer !!!

1000 rpm...That is some rock-n-roll goodness right there.

Very unusual for an Air Force guy, unless he was a Para.
