To: Choose Ye This Day

I've fired the M-16 at exactly two range sessions, so I'm no expert, but I will say this: If a guy is still up and firing after a bullet carries away his testicle, the situation would not be different if the bullet that carried away his testicle was larger or speedier. Granted, the guy had some chest wounds, but as a poster further down says, only a spectacular head shot or a lucky high spinal cord hit will drop someone before they can squeeze off a few rounds of their own.

Yon isn't the only person who feels the M-16A2 and M-4 carbine don't have adequate knock-down power. In the book Blackhawk Down, several Delta soldiers said the same thing -- they said it took multiple hits to drop an enemy, because each hit was like stabbing the bad guy with an ice pick.

Agreed, so the next question is...

Just WHAT THE HELL are these Terrorist Islamazi BA$TARDS on?

If it's Allah (MHNBC), then it's more addicting and DANGEREOUS than Crystal Meth! Otherwise, just what psychotropic/narcotic are they doing?!

Didn't I read something a while ago about the Islamazi soldiers being on drugs in the field...it makes them more aggressive and they take more bullets to stop?
