First one I've seen since I signed up, thanks for all the news photos threads I read before I did.

ETA: what are those Slovenians armed with?

Chinese arent playing. Im guessing they aren too concerned about taking prisoners either.

That dude is going to wish he never got caught.

Are those F2000s in the 2nd to last pic?

What weapon do the Chinese SF guys have?

FNC?



5.8mm Type 95s I believe.

Interesting to see so many other countries soldiers going to railed forearms and VFG's.  Is that a rail setup holding a light in the second pic of the Brit soldiers?

Lookin' real good.

Now there's a freaking revelation.

Been there, done that, cold as fuck.

A K1 can suck my left nut.



Cool photos, I always look forward to seeing what the pallys are pulling near the West Bank or Gaza in these threads.

Thanks Lumpy! Love these threads!

Yes.

Pindad of Indonesia builds licensed versions of the FNC.  That's the SS2 carbine:

Yes

The pistol in pic 1 looks like a Star BM

Is that a Ruger, possibly a security six?

Late night BTt

What are those chicom SF carrying?  it looks like a Famas?

As always Lumpy, good shit.

Thanks!

Its always weird to see weapons like revolvers overseas...we're just so spring-loaded to ComBloc small arms.

Either a 1911A1 or a Llama copy. hard top tell.

Looks like the PFC in the first picture needs some more training in handling 1911 style weapons.

Mainly because it looks like the mag is still in it and of course the hammer is back. But it could just be my monitor and I can't see clearly enough to tell about the mag.

Cool to see the German KSK guys. Served with them during OEF 01-02. Kick ass guys who loved to trade beer for MRE's.

You ever get a close look at most of them, imagine them in Waffen SS uniforms. Same superman look as their grandfathers.

Nice pics again Lumpy.

Abakan got it a couple posts above....Star BM

Happy Bullpup day!







Thanks for the pic's man, it great to see you here. And Merry Christmas.





oh yeah, I have a Star B, too.



 

Great stuff.  Thanks.

you`re not bs`in one bit there

Bump for daywalkers

Muchas Gracias

Always nice to have your hand over the muzzle to "block the bullet"  when the hammer is pulled back.

FAIL for missing out on the opportunity to use the term penultimate.

They actually shoot the rounds left in the mag? Waht

Thanks for the pics.....

They are just clearing their weapons.  The barrels are just in case there is an ND.

Thank you!

Ahhhaaa. Is that just a UK thing, or do we do that too?

Those look pretty damn nice...

We also have them.

Doesn't much look like he knows what to do with it. Hope he don't shoot his finger off, being cocked and all.

Thanks Lumpy.

Cool pics , thanks.

Outstanding!  Thanks as usual Lumpy!
