Thanks Jerry. To be honest it's a pleasure to serve, even with the inconvenience of deployment. I gave up my nice cushy programming gig to come back to the Army because I love being a soldier so much. On 5/25/2012 9:10 PM, Jerry Milo Johnson wrote: > Coming up on Memorial Day, and seeing both y

I had an A-1 in Desert Storm. It was fully auto. I was a mechanic back then so new weapons were not our priority. Oh, and the Army uses the A-4 as well. it's for POG's. On 5/26/2012 3:38 AM, LRS Scout wrote: > http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b8/M16a1m16a2m4m16a45wi.jpg > > Fro

If the M-16 used the original round it was designed to use, it would have performed equally to the AK-47. I do agree that we should go to using 7.62 since everyone else uses it. It just makes sense since you could take ammo off of dead soldiers regardless of side and use it...on the downside, th
