Gecko1969 0 Posted May 31, 2007 Guess that is a good enough of a Tit for Tat there for piss poor comment. Won't go poking at the insights Hindus had going on for many hundreds of year prior to Islam. Not like I care either way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MehMan 0 Posted May 31, 2007 operation madman, careful with that. For every good side there's always a bad side. You're walking a thin line there which you're crossing a lot. But ontopic, the medics in this game aren't medic medics, they are just guys who can bandage you, that's it, that's how I would describe it. Not exactly the guys that drag you away. Just a guy with a lot of bandages. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
868 0 Posted May 31, 2007 I dont think 4 In 1 meant 'muslims' when he was typing that sentence. However, if he did I'm fairly certain that he didn't mean it in a derogatory fashion. Just how he speaks. If you got offended or I got this wrong then I will appologise on behalf of the 'non-islamic' faith. (Choose one) Since most 'non-islamic' faith requires benevolence. Unlike what you're displaying. Also I will not deface your faith since that is not encouraged either. **** it. What's the point...God bless...****ing t*ss**. EDIT: p.s. FFS, read his signature on this forum. "You munkey!" and I'm referring to your intelligence not your religion,religious belief, or lack there of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
franze 196 Posted May 31, 2007 operation madman, what the hell? What do medics have to do with THAT? +1WL and 48hr PR, cool off a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-CS-SOBR-1st-I-R- 0 Posted May 31, 2007 I got to know first hand that Afghan medics in the soviet occupation era used T33 pistols for defensive purposes (in a real combat situation useless anyway) The German soldiers stationed in our town are all issued G36s .... but im not sure if they also will use this assault rifles in combat. As far as I know medics are only to carry a weapon for defensiv purposes .. like a MP. But again the line between defensiv and offensiv is pretty thin. Btw. there are defensive and offensive handgrenades -where is the difference ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bob1787 0 Posted May 31, 2007 the difference between offensive and defensive hand grenades are normally how heavy they are, how many fragments they produce, their "effective" range. i think that there were some RHS addons that had the two in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frederf 0 Posted June 1, 2007 Even a "defensive" hand grenade is really not a self-defense weapon. I doubt many US Army or Marine "medics" (medic is an outdated term, there's about a dozen names for the guys nowadays) carried or carry hand grenades. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sniperdoc 0 Posted June 1, 2007 Even a "defensive" hand grenade is really not a self-defense weapon. I doubt many US Army or Marine "medics" (medic is an outdated term, there's about a dozen names for the guys nowadays) carried or carry hand grenades. Thrown quite a few at MOUT ranges, but never carried them in the field. Our Snipers always carried a thermite with them to destroy equipment if they were compromised and had to make like a tree and leave... also a couple of smokes to cover the escape. But, none of us ever carried grenades... As far as defensive grenades... wow... first time I've EVER heard of that... EVER... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

4 IN 1 0 Posted June 1, 2007 defensive grenades ? i've seen smoke, CS gas, stun, and training nades, but never seen a real life defensive nads, those thing are in general a underpowered nades which in theory will do less damage/ less likely to kill ppl, which IMO is ballocks and since i could only guessmate WTF have happened to the monkey talk: no, the "monkeys" i refer to is a bunch of individuals, not a specific group of ppl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are intended for use from defensive positions (i.e. trenches). Therefore, they are actually more powerful than the "offensive grenades" since their operators don't have to worry about getting caught in their own shrapnel.

Cameron, They are both impact-fused. In fact they both use the same fuse/detonator. However they will only explode 1.2 -1.8 seconds after being activated (to give the operator some safe distance) and they self-liquidate after 3.2 -4.2 seconds.
