I find it hard to believe I would have made such an error. Are you sure I wasn't speaking of the M16A2's predecessor? If I did say "7.62" in reference to an "M16A2", I was in error. I doubt it, however, since rifle specifications are a part of "daily prac" in Boot Camp. The whole "...lightweight, air-cooled, gas-operated, magazine-fed, shoulder-fired weapon capable of 3-round bursts or semiautomatic fire..." type phrases of knowledge were daily requirements. Distances of area and point targets, maximum effective range...all statistics which were eaten, slept on, and shat.
For me to make an error in this regard, would have taken a severe account of sleep deprevation (which is plausible considering during my time in the Corps I had conditioned myself for 1-2 hours of sleep per night) or simply, your statement of my proposed statement is in error, itself.

Wraith... you made absolutely no sense to me on that post... I dunno if your drunk or just really tired.. :tongue: talking about guns.. I know that much :tongue:
-
I prefer 12-gauge ... close range. :D
-
-
Give me a Sniper Rifle with long range anyday... :tongue:
-
my preferance goes to the G36K in terms of assault rifles.
M82A1 for Long range.
Nothing beats a Desert Eagle .50 for a sidearm (although its .357 counterpart is equally as good, that extra punch is a plus)
and nothing beats the M136 for those...difficult situations :P
(hell im not even in the army)
-
Garrett... your knowledge of guns... um.. scares me..... :tongue: just kiddin.. sometimes its good to have a knowledge of guns and artillery.. :tongue:
-
Ive allways considerd becoming a cop. although im not built for it, it certianely interests me.
the army doesnt suit me i guess. but then again my military options in canada are rather lacking.
Up here they give recruits the C class rifles to use...id just as quickly give it back to the person handing it to me.
I own a Rifle myself. I target shoot on weekends when i can at a range up north (yes farther north), complete with FAC and the like.
And to that end im a pretty good shot if i do say so myself.
you? :P
-
All I can say I;ve ever shot is BB Guns and paintball guns... heck I live in Ohio and I don't even hunt. :rolleyes: :tongue:
-
I dont hunt, its kinda pointless. Im not one to get my hands dirty anyhow. :tongue:
I dont base peoples ability top shoot a gun on where there from man. mainly because i outshoot people who grew up with BB guns. and im a city boy, if you like to use stupid generalizations.
:P
-
I have grown up in the country, but I act like a city boy... :tongue:
-
Hmmm...paintball...yummy.
-
You ever played Paintball Wraith? Its actually quite fun.. although I wish I had the sniper rifle of paintball guns :tongue:
-
A sniper rifle in paintball would require some serious CO2 pressure and a long ass barrel, because paintballs don't always go straight :)
