Hmm... closed bolt, magazine in the rifle, finger inside the trigger guard -- a clear violation of Rule #1. sad_o.gif

http://img45.photobucket.com/albums/v139/Wilco123/Airsoft/Saudi/TMP29.jpg you mean this?

The larger version shows that his hand is outside the gaurd, lying on the grip.

Ofcourse his magazine was in the rifle and the rifle was loaded, he could have been attacked at any moment.

I wish I could upload the video of the SCUD attack. sad_o.gif

some cool photos,, good to see some R&R pictures instead of the destruction.

My brother was Royal Marines just after the first gulf war and he went there. He to has some similar pics i gotta dig them out. I remember one photo of his camp. It had a home made sign called Strawberry Fields and in the shot was rows of plants and tents beyond. Im not saying the plants were weed but they did look suspicious. Lol any plant in the desert looks odd anyway.
