Man... they never knew what hit 'em. :eek:
Identifying narcissists isn't difficult. Just look for the person who is constantly fishing for compliments
and admiration while breaking down over even the slightest bit of criticism.

Yep.

And launched at 30-06 velocities.

During WWII, the Brits issued the Boyz (sp?) rifle as an anti-tank weapon. We were offered the rifle, but used it very little, except in some Marine Raider battalions. We had Ma Deuce to punch through light armor.

All the footage is from Varmit Safari.

"This is a hoax. It is actually scenes taken from a video called " Varmint Safari II" available from http://www.rmvh.com/Scenes.htm. If you go to that link and click on the preview titled "Rock chucks" next to the " Varmint Safari II" video you will see all of the scenes from this video. The video is actually Rock chucks being shot with a 6mm in Montana."

and now for the real thing....

pic deleted

my boy when he was still in the paratroops, he was the platoon sniper.

using the M24

i thought the video was bogus becuase i dont think there are 50 caliber sniping systems. its too large a bore, huge recoil, impossible to control. this is a 7.62 mm design, which is standard.

(p.s. i will edit this post after 24 hrs, dont want his pic on the net like too long)

I wonder if this is what my Dad did during the war? He was a Gunner before getting his commission at Sandhurst. He never talked much of things. For some reason, I thought he shot at aircraft. He was stationed in England. He talked of things buzzing at night when they'd take turns sleeping. But when these things quit buzzing that's when they got all sprung into action. I just can't remember his words of it.

Bach,
You must be so proud of your kid. That was a good pic.

I phoned my little brother & asked Jolly. This is what Dad first did: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-aircraft_warfare , with Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry regiment, under British command. I remember him using the term "ack-ack" .
