Title: Interesting anecdote on fark Post by: Snackcakes on July 07, 2009, 04:01:00 PM Good to see the guys over in Iraq can still make light out of a tough situation, this is a soldier talking about firing off rounds to entertain the locals:
Sgt Otter: Usually, after a few rounds, they'd get bold enough to point at the .50 caliber machineguns or Mark 19 fully automatic grenade launchers on our trucks and ask us: "Mis-tah! Mis-tah! My brotha! Ees married. Please. The big gun? Shoot! Yes? Aww, please, mis-tah?" So...did you???? Ha. The Mark 19? No. Each individual round, when it detonates creates a killing radius of 5 meters, and a wounding radius of 15 meters. You usually fire it in 3 to 5 round bursts. Not something you play with for shiats and giggles. The M2-HB .50 caliber Heavy Machine Gun? "White 4 Actual, this is White Six Eagle" "Send it." "Roger, local friendlies are requesting a Show-of-Force demonstration on the primary weapon system on Two Actual's horse." "They want the Deuce? Who's getting married?" "Mustafa's nephew." "Yeah, I guess we owe him for that tip last week. All White Elements, Two is doing a test-fire. Don't panic." "Platoon Daddy gave it the okay. Have your Golf light it up." "Hey Dirt McGurt, you're cleared hot. Send it." "Roger. ON THE WAY!!!" Title: Re: Interesting anecdote on fark Post by: JesterDTM on July 08, 2009, 02:03:07 AM good times..... good times...
