| Given the choice, no red tape, no rules, ect. If you could carry 2 arms into prolonged combat (possible weeks on foot), no weight problems or anything, would you take 2 guns, 1- close range (0-300 yds) and 1-long range gun(300-1000 yds)? Or would you rather just have one that you have better training on? If it's the one, long or short range? It would be varied terrain, majority of urban/lightly wooded, against superior numbers. Any input? Maby something i didn't address? Oh, you'll have a team of 3-5 people with you. |
| Well if ammo resupply was no problem , I would go with the AR10 or G3 or FNC Para in 308 , still can't put much faith in 22 cal projectiles . For sidearm nothing beats ol' slabsides in 45ACP . Just call me old fashion . ( Hell I'll even accept mule-headed on this point) |
| I would take the best battle rifle there is, M-14 then it's between 1911 or Mod 12 shotgun.All three are reliable & work in the worse conditions.Some of you won't like my choice,that's way it is. In 1967 a M-16 all most my ass shot off! From then on I carried M-14 for rifle.I said , I would never touch one again! Well I was wrong I got one, to go along with my M-14 & my Les Bear's . And for those of you ,who love the AR-15's,they have improve a bunch. To me what ever you have, know it,practice & practice some more.Do that and and use your head, and good team member's goes along way. |
| STLRN,IT WAS JUST A PLACE I CALLED HOME FOR ALMOST A YEAR,AT CAMP EAGLE,HOME OF THE 101ST ARBN,FOR YOUR INFO,WE WERE STILL SENDING 400 TO 600 HOME (A WEEK) DEAD.....1969 WAS STILL HOT,SEEMS TET GETS THE STAR,BUT ALOT OF GUYS WOULD SAY THAT 1963 TILL THE DAY WE PULLED OUT WAS DANGEROUS,AND LIABLE TO TAKE YOUR LIFE..WAS KINDA HOPING TO HEAR FROM SOMEONE WHO WAS THERE OR CLOSE. |
