    A slingshot.

    A flamethrower.

    WTF?

    Unless that slingshot was flinging Molotovs Pipebombs or Potatos I greatly question the accuracy of that simulation.

    Don't they make you feel better ?

    We now need a marketing campaign/media blitz celebrating this truly historic (and fictional) victory.

    There is a poppy plantation to one side of the carpark and a garrison of green diesel on the other.

    I watched this last night also, never heard of the IRA using sling shots and flame thrower!! The guy on the IRA side was supposedly the great grand nephew of Michael Collins, i think they said.
    The US makers of the show weren't going to let the AK47 beat the AR15!!

    Loved the look on the Taliban's face :eek: just before he was blown to bits by the nail pipe bomb!

    no you can't be! i am!!

    What i dont get is why they choose a flamethrower and sling shot instead of a sniper rifle or petrol bomb.

    There was one incident involving a flamethrower, but a lot more snipers.

    They were all a bit pro IRA and pro taliban for my liking

    Haven't watched the videos yet but going by the comments here it sounds very reminiscent of the "silly jap" propaganda cartoons that Warner Brothers churned out during dubya dubya 2.

    I wasn't saying they didn't use them, I'm sure they did, all i was saying is for the "long range" weapons a sniper rifle was more widely used
