Sure, better hurry though, i got a TDY in Mississippi here in in another 2 weeks. 3 months without my precious precious babies to keep me happy. oh the pain.

Re: Firearms Discussion Thread... For all you Gun Lovers.
 

I only have two airsoft guns, a TM FA-MAS F1 and a KSC CZ75, I'd like to own a few real ones some day, especially a Mosin-Nagant and a semi-automatic AK-clone of decent quality (if possible a Rk92), but currently they are very low priority.

The only times I have used real firearms were during my military service, there was quite a lot of stuff around, but I never got to shoot anything more than more than enough with my Rk62, one training LAW-72 and one real handgrenade (that's not exactly a firearm, but much scarier). Directing fire for mortars (mostly light, 81mm Tampella) doesn't count I suppose.

could be worse, you couldve used your weapons during military service alot...like in Iraq.

Remember kids, wear heat resistant gloves before every firefight less your fingers feel the burn!

Re: Firearms Discussion Thread... For all you Gun Lovers.
 

Been there, done that. But in Kosovo that is.
I shoot more or less anything that is possible to shoot for regular 0300 in my militaryservice.
And when I later went down to Kosovo, we always had to be preperd and that was frighting from time to time, no doubt.

Re: Firearms Discussion Thread... For all you Gun Lovers.
 

My country pulled out of the Balkans before i joined up, what was trooping there like?

Re: Firearms Discussion Thread... For all you Gun Lovers.
 

True, I'm glad I never had to use them on living targets. I don't have any plans to volunteer to go to some foreign country to kill people that never harmed me or anyone I know and chances of anyone attacking us are pretty small, so I hope I won't have to either.

:lol:

Our summer gloves totally sucked at resisting heat, or anything actually, and we were not allowed to use any of our own either. They were extremely efficient in colouring your hands green though. :p

Not that you'd be likely to burn your hands that bad with a total daily fire ration of three mags (90 bullets)...

Re: Firearms Discussion Thread... For all you Gun Lovers.
 

It was scary, like all other places where there is a war going on, I guess.
When I came down, there was a still a hotzone down there, which means that exploring massgraves, and constantly have to fear sniperfire, was something that really bited, atleast, on my nerves.
