Former Marine pog here. I've noticed a lot of military personnel who come home on leave to a place like Indiana which doesn't have much of a military presence tell a lot of stories about black ops. It's amazing how black ops operators come home to Indiana.
You forgot the court house and the white house.
I know exactly what you mean. One time I met a supposed ex-sniper at the gun range he wasn't older then 20 and he couldnt hit the broad side of a barn at 25 yards
Errr, ummm... *cough*One M28 Training Rocket (The conventional munitions are replaced by smoke in these) costs upwards of $25K...
There are 6 to a Pod, and it takes 2 pods to load the Launcher...
So 12x$25K= $300,000...
How much would you like to donate to the cause?!
Not to mention the $200 Dollar Tax Stamp on each to the BATF&E...
Yesterday at Midwest Gun and Range, I got to meet a Vietnam Vet that tried convincing me that Mattel was the inventor of the M16 and that Marines used the AR15 (said that Armalite had nothing to do with evil black rifles until the mid 80s). I believe he said he was in the Army AND the Marines at the same time. Had to help him break down his magazines because he forced .40 into his 9mm magazine and wondered why it wouldn't strip a round from the "clip".
Blame this on Hollywood...LOL-----I think the Mattel thing came from the plastic stocks, which someone told me long ago they made. Don't know the truth to the rumor, but I'm sure I was in a gunshop when I heard that too. Maybe another urban legend. I guess it's good they didn't get them mixed up with a batch of big wheels. Look kinda screwy shooting org/yel/blk rifles.
