Nice pics as always, thanks for posting them.

6.338/10.000

I always enjoy these posts! Thanks

Thanks Lumpy, always great pics!

Sure glad I'm  living in the greatest Country in the World , and Lumpy posts here.   Thanks , keep them coming.  Great pics, as well.

That's even generous.  I've done WAY better.

You get what you pay for

very nice, thanks

anyone know what the Mexicans are playing with?

LOL

No FALs?

Is it just me or does the guy in the back of the pickup (manning the MG42) have very tanned arms (cough)

I award 6 points just for trying. Any other points received reflect actual content.

These are always appreciated Lump.

Mexican papers are reporting some couldn't pay, so Mexican cartels cut one ear off each Cuban and sent the ears back to Cuba.

The thought of parading past that Marxist scumbag turns my stomach.

I love bullpups, but they sure do look terrible for ceremonies.

Tagged, as usual.

Thanks Lumpy!

Thanks man.  I haven't seen one of these in a while.

Cool pictures.  Thanks.  

Anyone know what the optic setup is on the rifles above the "Canadian - Sgt-Maj."  5th and 6th pictures from the top?

Tag for later viewing. Was just thinking about this last night.

Did I miss any previous ones in the past couple of weeks? I suppose I could search when I have more time.

Lumpy.

thanks lumpy!

i saw 3 and didnt look very hard... the 2 guys in the pickup have fals i believe... and the third pic from the bottom looks like two fals.  Or are they cetmes?  IDK the difference

Thanks Lumpy.


Although, I'm going need a bigger hard drive if I keep "borrowing" pictures from your threads...

Elcan C79

Those are G3s or CETMEs not FALs
 

Thanks.  Sounds like it has some pros and cons in the article.

It's a piece of shit. It's no use to have the nicest glass in the world if it can't maintain a proper zero.

I don't think I've met anyone who has used it for serious social purposes and who knew WTF he was talking about that liked it.

Disclaimer: I haven't handled one myself. This is all second hand but the comments are pretty much all the same.

Nice.

You are the man Lumpy.

FX-05...5.56x45mm


Now standard issue to Mexican Army.

edit: arrrgh beaten! mine was hot though

Same here, WTF !

Sounds like they blew it on the mount.  Should have had LaRue put it together.

You know it

getting in on pg 1

Great pics as always...got a question...

Why are the Somallians running around without life jackets?

Awakening Councils are becoming my favorite 3rd World Paramilitary

ETA:  Just think...two years ago, he was screaming "I'm just a farmer!" at some SF guys...now he's a respectable citizen with a uniform t-shirt and a stockless AK

The El Salvadoran AR carbine is cool.

We use 'em too. I'm pretty certain the Israelis do too. I'm pretty sure they designed a nice thermobaric warhead for it too.

I've seen an M72A3 or A5 LAW in use by US light infantry, slightly different tube.  I'd rather carry 2 LAWs instead of a AT4.

Great thread, I think someone mentioned it but it looks like a friendly fellow in the back of the truck in Pakistan.

For the night life members.

BTT

be back w/some later...tag

How the fuck do US Marines end up in a parade in fucking Nicaragua?

Especially Marines in the modified blues with white trousers and M-1 rifles....   those aren't just local dudes from the embassy or a passing gator freighter.

WTF??????

Thanks for posting this.

+1

Great post Lumpy, thanks!
