They put a handgaurd on it to prevent burns. If you ask me, it would just get in my way, it looks too bulky. I aslo hear that they have to remove the barrel to switch the gas settings, is this true? Tyler<span id='postcolor'> Not true, Gas settings can be changed with the selector on the gas feedback, right under the barrel. (same system as FN-MAG or GPMG)

They made a few mods on it and dubbed it the M-249. In Canada we use a C9, just like the factory model but with an Elcan scope on it. Its a nice little gun. Hey L24A, that barrel looks a little short. Where was that pic taken? They let you have live ammo off the range? or was that pic taken on a tour? Tyler<span id='postcolor'> Pic was taken in Bosnia on tour with the RRF on Mt. Igman. Weapon is FN Minimi PARA-model hence the shorter barrel and retractable butt.

If that's the case......... We have a new devil wannabe on this forum. BTW Devil was someone who loved to tell lies. Dunno where he's now. Probably has a new name on this board

    Useful Discrimination

    logically is the FBI speaking more with young men coming from the middle east about the attacks than with Hawaian aloha-girls something to read if you're interested, I accumulated some news on this topic and made a nice story for you lot to read Since the 11th September attacks a lot of americans have formed a different opinion about racial profiling (the controling of people because their skin color or belief). During the recent Bradley-lecture for the American Enterprise Institute Heather MacDonald (the author of the book "The burden of bad ideas, how modern intellectuals misshape our society") held a convincing lecture beneficial to the selectivity during the search of terrorists. All the nineteen plane hijackers came from the Middle East with the mission to kill as much american "unbelieving dogs" as possible (they found a document in the luggage of Atta containing words of the same tenor). Naturally this doesn't incriminate all the 5 million people in the US arabic community as a possible accomplice. On the other side it would be foolish to extent the investigations all the way to the corn farmers in Iowa or the Hula girls in Hawai, the prevent the accusation of unfairness. It's not only foolish, but also totally impossible because the FBI doesn't have the means to do this, each investigation makes use of known facts to give a direction it should go. In this case, MacDonald recently wrote in The Weekly Standard, the FBI would be crazy if it should not use the nationalities and beliefs of the hijackers in their search for more accomplices within the students of the flying schools. For all means, the hijackers did couch their mission in religious terms. Before the 11th September people like Jesse Jackson. Al Sharpton and progressive white professors were constant indignantly bellowing when it became clear that the police proportionally had arrested more afro-americans than whites. It confirmed what they knew all along: the police were a bunch of incorrigible racists. A more reasonable comment was seldomly heard: That different population groups don't commit crimes in the same ratio. That would also be a miracle. In NYC the afro-americans (25% of the populations) commit 13 times as many violent crimes as whites. There must be a good explanation for that. But when the police stops more afro-americans than whites during the fight against robberies there is no connection with racial profiling In 1996 Al Gore was a chairman of a commity who should make proposes to increase the safety in aviation. At first the commity considered that the nationality of a passenger should be a point in the assessment of the risk of that individual. When the Arabic Lobby and the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) found out about this the world was too small. Gore, hyper-politically correct as no other, immediately withdrew proposal. Minister of Justice John Ashcroft decided that the FBI should conduct interviews with 5000 young men who came to the US in the last two years from countries who supposedly support terrorism. "Pure McCarthyism" yelled Hussein Ibish, the head of the Islamic Mission of America, who had this silencer at the ready. In reality it only relates to 0.1 percent of the arabic-american population. The interviews are not conducted at the office and are voluntary. No one has the right to never be questioned by the police, and in every big investigations this is the way it normally goes. The FBI is trying to prie through to the biotope of the perpetrators. Should the FBI forfit this method of investigation after the most bloodiest murder ever commited on american soil? God forbid, but if in some ten years some group of bolivians stage a huge terroristic attack in the US, than the interest during the investigation will swing around to the latino population. That also won't be discrimination, but the banal realism. In a recent Gallup-investigation six of ten americans said that people with a arabic appearance should be investigated more thoroughly before they board an airplane. "Pure discrimination" according to Peter Roff, a political analyst with the press agency UPI, "but it is also sensible". It seems the increase the safety of everyone, while it not really hurts anyone, expect for the terrorist who is caught before he could fulfil his mission. The afro-americans saw themselves as the most important victims of racial profiling before the 11th of September, now the the tables have turned. "Oh goodness, who is being selective now" wrote a black commentator of the Chicago Tribune, who admitted that the black community is feeling more than any other community for the profiling of muslims. Disclaimer If you have read the story well than you should realise that I'm not a racist, seperatist, nazi or whatever. I purely wrote this because it interesting to see how opinions can swing as a leave on a tree when something happens. Flaming me for racist thoughts or other comments in that way are purely based on the fact that you don't understand what I wrote here above. Thank You

    Ask the admins if there's still a copy of the "military stupidity" thread left on the server. Noone and I filled that one with funny military stories. I have enough stories to tell and enough pictures to go with it, but I posted all this shit already some time ago and I do feel much for doing it again

    human rights for the al-queda terrorists

    </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote (Pete @ Jan. 13 2002,12:31)</td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">if "roughing up" means torture...u better rethink it. even if the torture is used to find a nuke, and if the torturers (americans, in this case) arent trialed and sentenced for crimes of war for the torture...then it would only legalize torture for all nations. torture is never acceptable. and if usa decides to do it, it should find some volunteers who are willing to get trialed and sentenced as war criminals....<span id='postcolor'> Ehhhh, not exactly torture like with electrodes stuck high up in your ass, I mean the occasional slap on the cheek to get a nice discussion going. BTW I have no problems with torturing these people mentally, like a little witheld sleep or some white noise or some stimulating drugs. Main goal is to get the animal locked up or shot if you will, so that the masterbrain of 11 september will not get off that easily this time. Sad thing tho' he'll become a martyr and people around the world will see it as their holy duty to revenge his death. So in other words it is a vicious cycle. I feel sorry for the people, especially the americans who believed bush when he said that he's going to root out terrorism around the world, his mission seems to run out of steam right now because lack of accurate information. I'm afraid that within 10 years we will be sitting again chained to our tv-set wondering if we're looking at some new hollywood blockbuster when some mushroom cloud forms somewhere above a US city or people are falling down from some bio/chem. attack. Sad but true, the wheels are set in motion and it seems that the bandwagon is going downhill without breaks. I think people around the world, especially the US know by now that their governments can't protect them anymore (or they should do something about their political agenda abroad) so I think this is a war we're we need to go further than we ever have gone. Also in europe attacks are being prepared and thankfully up till now uncovered in time by the authorities. There was also an attack planned on the EU building in brussels. I think we have to fight for a better future, and if the need is there to torture known terrorists or sympathizers than it should be that way! You can call me shortsighted, but in this case I think we should make any effort to get rid of these animals.

    human rights for the al-queda terrorists

    I don't know what all the nuisance is about, what I heard of Rumsfeld the prisoners are being treated accordingly to the rules set in the Geneva convention, even if it can be argued if you can call these murderers soldiers. So actually they are treated like real POWs. Amnesty should be concerned with the real human right problems in the world, like political prisoners in muslim states or child labour in India and Pakistan. IMO those al-queda members are treated good enough (apart from the ones bombed to oblivion) and I have no problems with the fact that maybe they are going to be a little roughed up in order to extract more informations on Bin Laden. I saw a very disturbing documentary on Discovery a couple of days before. I had to do with the 78 russian nuclear briefcase bombs which can't be found anymore. There were also some russian specialities who told there is a good likelihood that one of these days one or more of these briefcases will end up in the wrong hands. And with Bin Laden still on the loose, it doesn't look like a very good omen for the US. On the other hand I don't think that Bin Laden will be captured, despite the billions of extra funding the CIA, NSA, FBI received they are seemingly not making any progress in locating this piece of shit, which IMO is a very unsettling thought for the US citizens who still are forced to live in fear. Also the bulk of the al-queda members (80%) has fled to another country.

    If kevin blake was leaving why is it than that I still see his name regularly in the active member list. Was this thread a small trick to cure his temporary attention deficit problem, I must admit it is cheaper than visiting a therapist
