I would NOT want to be the sight plane of three US Marines with TA31's.
|

It's nice to see all those 20" rifles. You can tell whos who, outside of the marpat, just look to see who long their barrel is.

That is a Garand the gas cylinder is at the end of the barrel. |

|
Great pics, Lumpy! It warms my heart to see the workhorse Garand still on active duty. The chrome M14s are pretty cool also.
Keep 'em coming! |

The A-Team used Mini 14's, why do you think they never hit anyone. |

". . . heavily armed NYPD in front of the NYSE."
It really is a shame that the NYPD still does not get the threat they face. All the assault rifles, pistols, and shotguns in the world won't do them any good against an IED or other explosive device--not to mention jets. It reminds me of the 9/11 footage of the Secret Service and Capital Police running around the White House lawn with their MP5s--what an impotent gesture it was. How about: bomb sniffing dogs, technology to detect traces of explosive material, vehcile X-ray machines, etc. . . |

I didn't realize you were such an expert on NYPD TTPs. |
