Best name EVER

You'd be surprised how accurate this comment really is.

That's an m240 variant of machine gun, not an MG42. The MG42 was a staple machine gun of the Nazis in WWII. The 240 is a distant modern nephew at best. Also, hell fucking yeah, the more unmanned fighting equipment the better.

Its a complex answer concerning everything you pointed out, and in the end its not really an answer as much as it is an explanation. I'll give me quick and easy of the uses of a patrol now, and try to tackle armor systems later.

We do not have the option to go without. For us, you must wear all of your protective gear as per SOP. That includes helmet, gloves, and eye protection. I wish we could use our own personal rigs as our gear, I have some personal equipment that is very top notch and provides for a lot of mobility. The current set up…

Wow. I wrote up a very large reply to your question. And on my screen it looked like it had posted several times. So I edited the last one to say "Apologies, glitch?", referencing what appeared to be a multi-post. But now it appears that the only remaining post is that one. I'll write it up again soon. Strange...

Those facemasks can only really facilitate urban combat, and by urban combat I really mean MOUT specific, very closed quarters. You simply cannot get a cheek weld with that mask on, long-medium range shooting has got to be neigh impossible. MOUT does not require a cheek-weld and is more centric on body positioning to…

Apologies, glitch?

You are correct, bullet-proof means the material is rated to withstand certain bullets and other pressures at varying levels of frequency. However, you don't need to be shot to be killed. Fragmentation and ricochet are serious issues. We shakedown everybody when we gather ACE reports to ensure that they didn't take…

Had to combat a fire outside of the Battalion TOC once, it was a harrowing experience. Truly feared for my life for a moment and had a second of panic before I calmed myself and kept working. It felt like the fire had a mind of its own, it would snap out with serious strength out of nowhere or spring up suddenly where…

Being 16 precludes a man from saying that she has pretty eyes? My niece has gorgeous eyes and she is 11. I tell her all the time. They are her aunt's eyes, and my grandmother's eyes (not my mother's unfortunately and not mine). Did that comment really have to insinuate sexual desire of an underage nature? Grow up.…

Man I am with you all the way. I am a diehard Peggle fan. Love that shit...

Francis is not Kotaku's patron saint, but most people call him Psycho. If anybody touches his stuff....he'll kill you....

We deploy long term "slow moving" foot patrols from helicopters all the time. Specifically into rough terrain that is not able to be maneuvered through by anything but infantry. With dogs in tow. Dogs are mammals. Talk to me when you graduate AirAssault and Pathfinder so we can have a real discussion about this…

From a purely AirAssault perspective; how many live horses/mules can you store in a UH-60 and deploy with a ground force into an area of operations? Or any aircraft really? The idea behind this device is not just in its storage capability but also in its ease of deployment. Still, I think it is a waste of money where…
