That is good stuff. Suicide bomber takes out people, and the people aren't afraid. They go out and protest. Also, are those Iranian chicks carrying USPs? I'm really starting to dislike HK. |
|
|
awesome pics! those iranian chicks have some nice hardware!
I assume those are the pakastani HK knock-offs? |
|
Yeah I bet the boy scouts are scared |
|
|
You might want to black out the name tags in photo number 6 and in the caption to number 7. I don't know why you should do that, but it's cool to say that you should.

Outstanding pics once again Lumpy!!
Man those Iranian women sure are scary looking and then they put guns in their hands. AKASL LIVE FREE OR DIE NEW HAMPSHIRE |
|
|
They take turns surrendering to each other. |
|
|
Wouldn't a combination of French and Germans produce a unit who wants to take over the world but doesn't have the guts? |

|
Dam never seen a 100rd mag. |
|
|
no shit! they scare me ! |
|
|
Givin' Iranian women guns?
Oh, no. Here comes the militant women's movement. Those Clerics leadin' that Banana Republic ain't as smart as they's thinks they is. |
|
Great pics, Lumpy!
Those Sigs look like P226s. Sigs are great pistols. |
|
It looks like the Iranian women are using SIG 225's. My wife bought one for herself a while back and loves it! Great pistol!
|
|
Correct. |
|
|
|
Holy Crap! I just realized they're IraNIAN. I thought they were IraQI. Those idiot clerics really are borrowing trouble. |
||
|
Probably the most professional looking dude I've seen that is from (I'm assuming here, based on the caption) Iraq. God bless Iraq... lets save some of it! |
|
|
|
|
|
I thought the same thing - actually typed out a snide comment - but then I realized that they were probably the guys around the entrance to the building when the BG was brought in. He was taken to that bldg either before or after going to Atlanta PD for processing. |

|
Roger that. Thanks for explaining it to me. |
|||
|
Funniest thing I've read all day, Thanks! bfieldburt |
|
|
Probably an insurgent in any other situation. |
|
|
Awesome pictures as always.
My view... Those Iranian women will be what faces anyone who attacks Iran. Do not think for a minute that the media will not be poised "perfectly" so as to capture those "savages" brutally slaughtering innocent women in the name of self defense. The stage is being set by Iran. They know they have probably past the point of no return. I believe they are banking on publicizing any attack in a way that makes the attacker(s) look unjustified. What's new. That is the way it works. Unfortunately, they have the experience of Iran vs. Iraq (they understand the cultures), the information of how we operate in urban battle (PC at its finest), and how the anti's in the world desire to publicize their viewpoint. I expect to see more of these pictures on CNN and the like soon. |

Great photos, thanks Lumpy. It's always nice to see a 1911 in action.
