I wanted to get an MP5, but didn't save money for it. I wanted a more compact rifle instead of the M16. The leader of my airsoft group had an M16 with the heat shield, M203 and swapped the stock with a crane stock and added an ACOG. A real ACOG. We called it "The Beast" because it is the biggest gun on the team. One time another guy had the L86 and he was our SAW guy for awhile.

We actually had procedures for using our M203s because there are rules for shooting those off in skirmishes. Otherwise, anyone with a grenade launcher, could spray a volley and randomly hit somebody. Of all the teams in Indiana, we were considered the most "professional" mostly because our team leader was a foreign student and he was a former British Paratrooper. So we got crash courses in British military tactics

Guys with TMPs or TMP look-a-likes get fucked up in some Michael Mann movies like Heat and Collateral. In Heat, the guy with the TMP gets crushed with a car and shot in the chest with a 7.62x51. In Collateral, Tom Cruise lays the guy out with 6 or 7 rounds. It's hilarious

In Micheal Mann movies, the main characters always wear awesome expensive suits to hide their equally awesome guns

If I was an action hero I'd wear a suit, to look sharp and professional and all around badass. Remember, action heroes dont get hit so body armor is pointless anyway

If a hero gets shot in the head it will always either richochet off or only graze him/her.
