    Shíte - whoever it was I managed to nail them in the head during that move - I was hoping to claim bragging rights on that one!

    Is it wrong that I have spent the entire week re-running Senny in my head like some demented compulsive lunatic? Probably. Is it wrong that I've now mentioned that on the internets.... oh without a doubt...

    Americans, back at the start of the Afgan invasion, judging by the tricols, and Interceptor vests.

    Also, the americans DO use m240 (NOT GPMG) with the Eclan sight. so no, its not Canadians. Also, no self respecting Canadian would be seen dead with a US flag on :P


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,638 ✭✭✭F.U.B.A.R


    Ok fine their not canadians but that is a FN GPMG I have trained with it the past four years :D Yanks have there own names for everything :rolleyes:

    So do the Irish, usually just using the manufacturer's name and not the actual model. Steyr instead of AUG A1 for example.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,638 ✭✭✭F.U.B.A.R


    No we were tolled its the styer aug Armee Universal Gewehr—"universal army rifle" A1 we dont just call it a styer because we think thats the name of it its just shorter :)

    And is the manufacturers name not the actual name of the weapon???

    Steyr is the name of the company (also the name of a town in Austria). Aug A1 would be the model. :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,638 ✭✭✭F.U.B.A.R


    yes I know what Iam saying is we call it by its model name designated by the company who made it such as aug a1 and fn gpmg

    You have it simple these days lad.

    Back in the day we had:

    FN/Browning Hi-Power Automatic Pistol - B.A.P
    FN FAL - FN
    FN MAG - MAG (Cavalry name) or GPMG (Inf.)
    Carl Gustav M45 SMG - Gustav
    Carl Gustav M2 Anti-tank recoilless rifle - 84

    Now its just the Steyr, GPMG and H&K:D

    What unit you in btw? Inf?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,638 ✭✭✭F.U.B.A.R


    yerp inf all the way! and only sgt or above gets to use the H&K USP although I can disassemble it and fire it :D unofficially of course

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

    Given that we're both thinking of the same "someone" I'd say Flora is a far more likely outcome.

    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.

    Yes, they do like nice, but 20LR PMAGs will do me fine. It's all moot, however, until someone actually builds a 417. We have more sniper derivatives than you can shake a stick at, we have weird & wonderful kit like the Tavor & FAMAS, but there are relatively few 7.62-based AR replicas and not one 417 among them. :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,397 ✭✭✭MerryDespot


    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...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,395 ✭✭✭Decoy


    If having to put up with Umarex part-destroying the externals meant that I could get my hands on a 417 it would surely be worth the sacrifice! I don't even need trades, I would be happy with a TopTech T4-19 á la their T4-18/HK416 as long as it was a 417-based RIF.
