If someone puts thier baby in multicam, I will find them, and slap them.

Multicam would be a good idea for kids, it would hide any spit-up stains.

Isn't it just a fully-DMRised HK417 in a silly colour?? I'd much prefer a HK417 (16" or 20") before this, thanks very much.

stick on sky channel 316 (film 4+1) the street gunfight scene from heat is about to start!

I'd settle for the 417 any day, but I want those mags for it. Sexy...

Medal of Honor Nominee Picks Up a Supporter

The campaign to have the Medal of Honor awarded to an Army sergeant who died while pulling fellow soldiers from a burning vehicle in Iraq got a new boost on Friday from a well-known military historian.

Doug Sterner, who has spent years documenting fraudulent claims of military heroism, sent a letter to the Army secretary, John McHugh, asserting that “there is a systematic failure that may have resulted in heroic soldiers receiving so-called lesser awards that should have been properly recognized with the Medal of Honor.”

The statement is a significant reversal for Mr. Sterner, a Vietnam veteran who in the past has defended the low number of Medals of Honor, the nation’s highest award for military valor, for actions in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Mr. Sterner, of Alexandria, Va., cites as a prime example of that “systematic failure” the case of Sgt. First Class Alwyn C. Cashe, who died in November 2005, three weeks after his Bradley fighting vehicle hit a roadside bomb in the Iraqi city of Samarra. He was awarded the Silver Star just days after his death.

Mr. Sterner said he became involved in Sergeant Cashe’s case only after recently seeing the documents supporting the sergeant’s Silver Star nomination. “The whole packet was so stunning, it set me on this course of action,” Mr. Sterner said.

According to the narrative that accompanied that award, the Bradley was engulfed in flames and Sergeant Cashe, drenched in fuel that had been spewed by the explosion, pulled himself out of the gunner’s hatch and helped the driver escape. The narrative describes what happened next:

“Without regard for his personal safety, S.F.C. Cashe rushed to the back of the vehicle, reached into the hot flames and started pulling out his soldiers. The flames gripped his fuel-soaked uniform. Flames quickly spread all over his body. Despite the terrible pain, S.F.C. Cashe placed the injured soldier on the ground and returned to burning vehicle (sic) to retrieve another burning soldier; all the while he was still on fire.”

The narrative said that Sergeant Cashe’s actions helped save the lives of six soldiers.

After his death, Sergeant Cashe’s commanding officers learned that his platoon had come under enemy fire while the sergeant was rescuing his fellow soldiers — and as a result they petitioned for his Silver Star, the military’s third-highest valor award, to be upgraded to a Medal of Honor.

I think we can blame the umarex copyright fiends for that one! No money in VFC or some other manufacturer making a version of that and having umarex pounce on them with lawyers like they did when they made the 416...

You have got to be kidding me... That was fantastic. I've seen honest-to-goodness budgeted action movies that weren't as well shot as that.

i have to agree, i can think of some big budget summer movies that are worse , F.U.B.A.R your so hard to please

Considering they weren't actors and they were using cardboard props (I mean, seriously...), are you really going to hold their acting up to question? Apart from the dodgy accents, it wasn't too bad really. Hell, they even had the Germans speaking German. That, by itself, is a novelty worthy of Hollywood accolade these days.
