Nice pic. Hope he kill lots'o'Taliban with that PK.
Early comment on personal weapons I read that stuck with me - Russians found out early on that Afghans with old bolt-action Enfields and Moisins could be a real problem, as they outranged Russians holding AK's. You didn't want to be 300-400+ yards from a guy with a bolt-action while you were holding an AK, unless you also had a way to bring crew-served weapons or at least a sniper (SVD) to bear on the opposition. Of course, the number of Afghans who could actually hit at those ranges is probably very small, but would *you* want to be the one testing their skills?
