cool! |
|

Is that a CZ75 or a BHP on the top pic? I dont think its a 1911. hmmmm
|
|
Looks like an HP top me. Great pics Lump. Even better than usual. |
|
|
I can't stand the wait for this post everyday from Lumpy. Keep up the great work.
|

The profile of the slide is hi-powerish, yet the hammer looks 1911ish to me.
Like I said, entirely too much distortion in that low-res of a pic for me to say for sure. |

The Iraqi Army standard Issue is teh Hungarian Hipower Clone, or was before the invasion, I don't know whether or not they still use them regularly or not, but there are a shit load of them over there.

My bro in laws in there somewhere |

Off the top of my head, I'd guess Canadian. Did the Canucks send people to Afghanistan? I'm not sure a lot of countries use the Elcan on the M16/C7. I know Denmark does (and we've got troops in afghanistan), but that's definitely not a Danish uniform. |

Thanks very much again.
Am I the only one noticing that most of the people there don't have lens covers on their Aimpoint? Is it ok even in the desert to do so? I was just wondering because I took my rear one off, but left the front one on the Aimpoint. |

The soldier with the Thermold appears to be Dutch. Canadian Diemaco rifle with Elcan sight.

Just for the record...I believe the pistol in pic#1 is a hi-power.
<---partial to hi-powers. |
