Graduation Gift. Beretta Px4 Storm & 200 Winchester full metal jacket rounds

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

I found my M4s to be far more dependable than any M16 I ever used. M16s were garbage, and they are still in use by Fobbits.

The only time I ever had any issues with an M4 was when it was filthy on the inside. The main problem with that is that a couple hundred rounds will make it filthy, and it is ieasy as pie to fire off a couple hundred rounds over the course of a standard kinetic mission day, which means you actually have to add "weapons maintenance" down time to your operation in addition to food and rest. You can clean an M4 thoroughly in under 10 minutes with the right tools, even quicker with the right chemical spray, but the worry is that you will get hit while peoples weapons are dissassembled.

When I was a military cadet, we got bumped in the Habour Area while I had my L98 stripped for cleaning. It took me about 15 seconds to get it back together, I think the bolt was already in, anyway there I was in my foxhole - only then suddenly realising I had taken my belt kit off and I had left my ammo ten feet away.

This may have been the point I realised that I was not actually cut out to go into the army.

I was, I think, about 16 or 17, to this day I am ashamed.

Target shooting was fun, me and my dad had a good time

@PJ My major was history and I am taking a year off before I go back to grad school. Need to make some money

We sit here debating the virtues of direct impingement vs short stroke piston gas systems while Strike goes out to meat girls.

Hmm.

I think we have produced a collective fail guys.

Your major was history? I must have misread that! Surely you mean partying or bodybuilding. So is you serious lack of any historical knowledge that you demonstrate on this forum just an act or something? Or did you just graduate from a diploma farm?

Strike claims to post drunk, mostly.

Ah, that would explain it...

Care to put this to a vote?

Even better, lets have Strike and Vuk take a SAT Subject test on World and/or US History and see who wins.

It depends on how many questions involve beer and iron pumping.

I'm not worried about the 20% of my team doing the cleaning not being able to put their weapons back together quickly.

I'm worried about a mortar or grenade blowing up and tossing all their weapons parts to kingdom come.

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

I know, I just wanted to share my stupidity with my friends.

although, "kingdom come" and "ten feet" are about the same when receiving incoming fire, I would imagine.

I congratulate the knowledgeable people for hijacking this conversation.
