Interesting! A Marine sounds off on which guns suck and which ones rock!

Hey guys. Here's a really interesting read in which a Marine rates the large variety of weapons used on both sides of the fight in Iraq. I guarantee you'll learn something new about the job our brave soldiers fighting overseas. Check it out! http://mypetjawa.mu.nu/archives/133585.php#weapons

kewl.

Sounds like it's time to get our guys some new rifles for the desert conditions. I didn't know how fine the sand is over there and the last thing we need them doing is fixing jams in the heat of battle.

I believe that the M-16 is being replaced in "06". I watched a show talking about the new weapon....OUTSTANDING!!! :thumbsup:

fuck yea dude +9!!!

i was looking for this email and now you have posted that.

ah yes, that would be the OICW ... the objective individual combat weapon.

Yes, it will own those scum fuck terrorists.

In fact, I should join the marines. I have the urge to pop some heads.

I found a site:

oh, i have never seen that before.

The standard issue is going to be the OICW....

According to the present plans, the XM8 should enter full production circa 2005, if not earlier, several years before the XM29 OICW.

So this is like a stepping stone to the OICW.... this gun looks awesome as fuck! I want one! Ya know, just in case the a-rabs invade.

whoa! yeah! guns! GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

yes, you will sure be saying that when your getting shot by one b/c you are too blind to realise that everyone should own at least a good rifle for self protection.

I have my SKS for that, although im sure I would be better served by a more modern rifle.

In closing, those who are anti-gun will need to be saved by gun-toting maniacs one day.

keep the gun threads coming!

im going to have to watch that vid after class.

who! yeah! bash something i know nothing about! GAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY!!!!

I'm in support of whatever will take those fuckin terrorists out.

And, i'm pretty anti-gun... but i do agree that people should be able to use guns responsibly and i think that definately the ARMY needs to get the best guns possible...

Sgt Pepper nice avatar.

good artical but was all that info from one marine? hard to believe one guy could have that much experience with all those different arms.

at least i agree that the M-16 and the Beretta 9mm's are garbage.

"They get mowed down like grass every time. ( see the M2 and M240 above).
[The Marine's] base was hit like this often. When engaged, they have a tendency to
flee to the same building, probably for what they think will be a glorious
last stand. Instead, we call in air and that's the end of that more often
than not. These hole-ups are referred to as Alpha Whiskey Romeo's (Allah's
Waiting Room). We have the laser guided ground-air thing down to a science."


That made me laugh. AWR hehe.

Great post, I read it all and have a different more personalized perspective on it all.
thanks.

when they replace them i hope they give them out for free :D

that was an excellent article
