Slow day
 KARNI CROSSING, -: Israeli soldiers practice the evacuation of a wounded soldier at the Karni crossing between the Gaza Strip and Israel 12 May 2004. The radical Islamic Jihad group claimed five crew members of an Israeli armoured vehicle were killed Wednesday in a bomb attack in the southern Gaza Strip city of Rafah. Islamic Jihad, along with Hamas, claimed a similar attack on an Israeli armoured personnel carrier in Gaza City a day earlier which left six soldiers dead.

Israeli troops were combing Gaza City's Zeitun neighbourhood this morning for the remains of six soldiers killed a day earlier in a bomb attack which militants threatened to use as bargaining chips. Meanwhile an Israeli helicopter fired a missile at a house in Zeitun, as Palestinian security sources said Egyptian diplomats were talking with the Islamic Jihad group for the return of the missing body parts. The deaths of the soldiers, blown up in their APC as they took part in a heavy Israeli raid into Zeitun, sparked a crisis in the Israeli government amid plans by Prime Minister Ariel Sharon to pull out of the Gaza Strip.

Good job, as usual Lumpy.
I wish we had a picture of when that Pale in the third picture lights one off and pokes his stupid eye out with the scope.

Romanian FPK. The stock, curved rear of receiver & the riveted reinforcing plate give it away, not to mention the magazine being right in front of the trigger guard. The SVD mag has a space between it & the triggerguard. |

Those bullpups look funny as ceremony weapons. Nothing looks better than the 1903.

A common problem around here..... The FPK or Romak3 (neutered civilian version-no bayonet lug, muzzle brake instead of flash hider, etc) is basically a stretched AK in 7.62x54R. Gas piston attatched to bolt carrier as opposed to the SVD separate gas piston & tappet. Not quite as accurate as the SVD because of the heavy bolt carrier group banging & clanging about. |

That blue sling is just fabulous!   What is it with 3rd world shitheads & funky colored tape? The pix that came from Liberia showed knuckleheads who had their AK mags taped together with bright yellow tape.

What the hell is on the helmets in the first pic? And the blue sling is UN issue.

It looks like the Israelis use the fabric bags to avoid having their helmets used as a range finder for snipers and general camouflage.
Edit: mil dot and other reticles range find by using objects of known dimensions. |

The covers do, indeed, break up the silhouette of a helmet, and work pretty well their guys say during urban ops. The Israelis have a few other little tricks that work well for this stuff as well...lots of experience. |

Styer AUG's. Not very purtty cermony rifles IMHO. I like either the M1903 or M14's. I use the M1903's on my high school's AFJROTC's Drill Team so I like those the best hehehe.
