"KLACK."
Used to be that most Marines knew what that sound was, and what to do when they heard it....

Great tagline! I always respected the Marine mentality, even though I prefer "Hooah" to "Oorah"
Heh, ever heard what "Marine" stands for?? (My Ass Rides In Navy Equipment.)

I really like my WASR-10, it's plenty accurate within a hundred yeards. A lot simpler that my LE/AR-15.

Simple to use and deadly efficient, the AK-47 is one of the most influential guns of the 20th century.And the closest anyone's come to a "disposable" firearm.

If you know what you are doing, you can do it from the shoulder too. Belt loop is easiest to learn though.

Heh, ever heard what "Marine" stands for?? (My Ass Rides In Navy Equipment.)The first think the DIs taught us in boot camp was to never challenge a sailor to a speed-typing contest. Those guys were deadly on a Smith Corona.

The more you practice it, the better off you will be in battle when your weapon system goes down or malfunctions, and you have to pick up an enemy's weapon and put it to use," Sounds as if the M-16A2 may have some of the fouling problems that plagued prior variants.

I had a friend that's a Marine. I asked him if it was true that the Marine Corp was part of the Department of the Navy. He said "yeah, the MEN'S Department."

Ever try four hundred yards? I have made hits at that distance on a vertical steel pipe with my AK. But mostly its good for 250 yards or less. Barring that my AK is 100 percent accurate when I swing it like a club. :)

My Daddy explained the way the various services worked to me once.
He said "Son, the Navy transports the combat troops... The Marines take the shore by assault... The Army pushes inland and secures the territory... And the Air Force lands and build the O-Club"
With apologies to all you fine Zoomies out there.
