Won't be posting for awhile.
Just wanted to give the heads up that I'm leaving for Afghanistan tommorow afternoon, so I won't be posting for awhile. There's internet over there, but it'll be awhile before I'm settled in and have time to mess around on here. Wish me luck!

I wish you best of luck! Take care! And if there's anything we can do once you are over there, please don't hesitate to ask.

Good luck and be safe. Give those Taliban SOBs over there a few rounds for us.

Well, I haven't dropped off the face of the Earth, just haven't had internet access. I signed up with a local company - good thing I have decent virus software. I'm in Kandahar air field at the moment, and enjoying work. Just going to the mess here is fun for a firearms enthusiast - there's probably 30 different countries on the base, so you see quite a variety of arms.

Take notes. I know a couple guys who went to Kosovo and it was amazing to hear about some of the firearms they saw. Real classics in some cases. One of the guys confiscated an Artillery Luger. Unfortunately you know that either went into somebody's pocket (so to speak) or was destroyed.
Glads to hear you have made a safe landing. |

Captured weapons actually are supposed to come across my desk, none yet unfortunately. Nothing in the market anymore either - they stopped letting us bring back antiques in 08 and the Americans just had the door closed as well, so there's no longer any profit in it for them.
As a consolation prize, here's my mental list of weapons I saw just going about my day today: C7A2 (mine) Inglis Hi Power (ditto) C8A2 carbine C9A2 LMG C6 GPMG (light, pintle AND coax configuration) M203A1 M2HB .50 M242 25mm Mk.19 M16A2 M16A4 M4A1 Beretta M9 M249 M240 Mk.48 Mod.1 Austeyr F88 FN Mk.III Hi Power SA80A2 FAMAS F1 PAMAS G1 Beretta 92S HK MP7A1 PKM RPD (mounted on a Ford Ranger no less) Some kind of .50 cal rifle I actually couldn't identify because I only saw the muzzle brake. |
