Infantry Pr0n

Today, Infantry Pr0n. Tomorrow, Armor Pr0n. Thursday, Artillery Pr0n. Friday? How about reader-submitted Military Pr0n? Not limited to US, either. In fact, Allies are encouraged. And that includes Afghanistan-only Allies, too. Only caveat - gotta be in-theater.

Pr0n submissions, eh? I've got some stuff in the archives you might like. Like this, for instance. Yeah, it's just a salute battery. Still cool though.

Here's another one. These guys are Marine reservists training at Fort Knox's Zussman Urban Combat Center. I shot this last summer.

Both are *very* nice, Brogonzo! Verra nice, indeed! Pay no attention to that *snip snip whirrrr* sound in the background. That's just the harvester at work!

Okay, a couple more. Artillery pr0n. MOUT pr0n. Armor pr0n. (This one looks nice and clean -- they were shooting an "Army of One" commercial). And one of my personal favorites: WWII Flame-thrower pr0n.

Crud. That didn't work at all. Let's try again. Artillery. MOUT. Armor. Flamethrower. [The pics are best viewed by right-clicking the link and opening in a new window. ed.]

What's the sight thingy? The big one looks at the little one that looks at the steel sight? Isn't there an attachment for the flashlight? Duct tape works, but...

The sight thingy is an ELCAN optical sight that functions independently of the "iron" sights. There is a mount - but they get worn pretty quickly. Duct tape makes sure it stays. Duct tape can do anything...

Duct tape can do *almost* anything. Don't plan to patch the bass boat with it while you're still in the middle of the lake...

The one thing he seems to be missing from this view is his IR laser- PAQ-4C or PEQ 2A -although that may be on the left side rail. Other than that, straight up CQB rigged M249 SAW-collapsable airborne stock (in a decidedely non-AB unit), shorty barrel, and tac light. Oh, and the nutsack to hold 100 rounds of ammo.

An Empire built on rubber bands. How did the Romans do it without them?

'Phibian - They didn't have as many fiddly bits on their kit. And they hardly ever ran anywhere. And they only flopped down on the dirt if they were dead. Bill - if you've already capsized the boat, yer kewl.

Bill - if you've already capsized the boat, yer kewl. Tell me about it. That water's *cold*...

Bill, you're just using the wrong type of duct tape. Red Green, baby. You can do anything with duct tape.

HL - I know during the early days of the war I got requests for help in acquiring the airborne-style butt stocks. Turns out the ones made for the Airsoft guns fit. I have no idea about durability. But you know how this works. As long as the war is pretty hot, no one is going to care. Get us back to an essentially peacetime optempo, and the bean counters and reg-masters will assert themselves, saying "Your TOE doesn't authorize that. You have to turn them in and order the proper buttstock!" Unless saner heads prevail and pretty much say you can have what ya want. But you know how the process-oriented types are...

I've often wondered how it is the Romans conquered half the world they knew, without coffee.

Simple: Nobody *else* had any coffee either.
