Shield of the First French Spec Ops Officer to Enter the Bataclan Theater in Paris
Never Yet Melted ^ | 11/17/2015 | JDZ

US Marines on Facebook today were applauding the owner of this shield which bears the marks of most of a magazine of AK-47 rounds and a fair amount of suicide vest shrapnel.

But how can this be? I thought moozlums were peaceful and fun-loving?

Maybe I’m not seeing it, but I’m only counting ~15 hits on that shield. How does that constitute “a majority” of an AK47 magazine? Most people use 30 rounders in AKs. A 20 or a 10 would be useless to a jihadi.

Congratulations on being the winner of the most puerile post of the thread. Too bad you can't see past concentrating on the facts instead of seeing the truth - which is the guts it must have taken to move into that field of fire.

Not at all. I was pointing out the misinformed nature of the comment, not diminishing the strength of the statement the picture makes.

If you count the cluster near the hand holds as multiple hits, I’ll give you that. Under stress and likely just “spraying and praying” with a select fire rifle isn’t going to yield tight groupings. That’s all.

I count 17 on the visible parts (top and bottom are cropped), so that’s most (over 1/2) of a 30 round magazine. There are probably a few more.

Fair enough. I didn’t mean to diminish the power of the picture. The product did its job. It’s a great testament.

Did you see the last two three feet of the shield? Jesus help this poor dickhead.

Stamped steel and probably never cleaned AKs have never been known for grouping as good as my old 18” 12 gauge.

In every country there are still lions, ready and willing to take the fight straight to the enemy. I applaud.

I would’ve been balled up like a sissy, I won’t lie. That man’s got brass balls.
