Could be Death Merchant, starring Richard Chamellion as an uber-mercenary.
Could also be the cheap Executioner ripoff called "the Penetrator." |

None of the above guys. There was a series featuring this one main character. I remember that the firearm and equipment descriptions were top-notch. I bought a Hank Roberts mini-stove after it was used by this character. Sorry I can't be more specific but the name Frost keeps popping up in my head.
Thanks for responses. |

I found it! It's Hank Frost, the one-eyed merc captain. A 17 book series by Axel Kilgore (Jerry Ahern). Google is your friend.
Thanks for all the responses. I can now go back to work. |

Frost?
That would be "They Call Me The Mercenary" series by Axel Kilgore. |

Damn.
I remember thats how I learned all the different guns of the world. When I was 12 or 13 I would go to the library and get out a bunch of Mack Bolan paperbacks and a Jane's Guns book. I'd read the Bolan book, and when I came to a gun mentioned that I had never heard of, i'd look it up. Cheesy books, but fun. |

Darknite, That's corrrect. According to some of the info I found, it was a series of 17 books. I can't remember the ones I had, wished I could find them. Jerry Ahern (who also wrote the Mack Bolan series) wrote them under the pen name Axel Kilgore.

No, Jerry Ahern did not write the Mack Bolan series, at least not to the best of my knowledge. |

Is that the one where he carried a matched pair of Detonics in a double-shoulder-rig?... |

No, that was the Survivalist. The Mercenary carried a Browning Hi Power and a Colt CAR15 converted to full auto. |

What was the series where they were in a battle against the American government, it had gotten socialist and wya out of control. The main character carreid a knife that was double balded but only sharpened on one side (to keep it legal
 ) It was a pretty good series even if the firearms were innacurately portrayed.Or the Post apocalyptic series where their was a Military unit which had powered suits. or Firebrats  or Turbo Cowboys

My favorite in that vein was The Guardians . (I think quite a few others here liked those, as well...) |

Pendleton wrote them to a point and then IIRC they were ghost written and called "Don Pendleton's The Executioner". I also wonder if the "Stony Man" and "Mack Bolan" books were done the same way. No big deal, they're fun comic book style adventures. I like the Bolan books as well as Able Team (had a lot of those) and a few Avengers and some other books just for the hey of it. |

Wasn't Pendlton always claiming that "The Mob" had put "a contract" out on him? |

That was my favorite also. I still have the complete series on my bookshelf. |

I get a chuckle looking back at my old Mack Bolan books, Mack Bolan and his .444 Marlin sniper rifle.
