FSPilot

Grenade launchers in airsoft are typically like a shotgun. They fire a bunch of pellets at an area, not necessarily a grenade. Try searching google for air-izona (;)) airsoft fields. you might even have to call up a local paintball field to see if they'll let you play. M249s and M60s are probably heavy, but very effective. What you're looking for in airsoft is accuracy, and ROF. machine guns have ROF, but not necessarilly accuracy. still I think they'd be useful.

jams or misfires? factory or home reloaded ammo? I've got a question for all the phorensics and ballistics gurus out there. Since they're fingerprinting guns now, using imprints on the bullet to match to the barrel of a gun, whats to stop criminals from using shotguns?

Mr. Burns ended up losing a lot of money because *i think* of nuclear regulation violations. The town was having a meeting to decide what to do with the money. Mr. Burns showed up in disguise (depicted in Mr.Snrub's avatar) and called himself "Mr.Snrub" who then suggested they donate the money "to the local energy concern". </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">http://www.snpp.com/episodes/9F10.html Monty Burns (poorly disguised as Mr. Snrub) suggest the money be invested back into the power plant.

Ahh the simpsons, the one thing I can consider myself an expert on.

Â Just because a firing pin isn't, by definition, a weapon, doesn't mean it cant be put into a gun and fired. In other words, just because we disassemble a nuclear weapon doesn't mean it cant be used as a weapon. It just has to be reassembled. Just because Saddam's kidney machine can't be used as a nuclear weapon on it's own, it can be made to set one off.

Star Wars, no question about it.

If you want my opinion, and I'm sure you're all dying to pick apart what I say (;)), it could go either way. If we look at what happened in Afghanistan, the U.S. helped the Taliban defeat the Soviets, then backed out. They didn't set up a government or influence them at all. They might do the same thing here. BUT, this is different. Afghanistan was a covert operation, which may have made it too dangerous for the U.S. to set up a government in Afghanistan, especially with U.S.-Soviet tensions. And the U.S. may have learned from the past and would want to set up the government to avoid any mistakes they obviously made in Afghanistan. Just my two cents.

If I were you I'd be more nervous about Vx and Anthrax, all the other types of bio/chem weapons they can throw at us, at least according to CNN.

Yes but we're not even arguing about the international policies effects on Iraq. First we were on Afghanistan (understandibly so) but then somehow we got sidetracked to Cuba.

The trick behind sniping in DF2 is to find a nice little brush of grass to hide in. Make it so that you can't really see very well, this also means that they wont be able to see you very well. Just crawl out every once in a while or if you hear a gunshot. Also be sure to wear a ghille suit. I got so good at that game, it was a blast. I remember once I was running around on top of an armory, and this guy jumped out and knifed me. But there was so much time I flipped out my knife really quick (I had a mouse-ball so it was very easy) and knifed him before the kill set in. It was great.

Which topic? What is to be expected after the war on Iraq? The highway of death? Or the problems in the U.S.' international policies.

To be honest I haven't played OFP in a while now. I'm getting back into flight sims (they're the FS in FSPilot). Don't get me wrong, OFP is a great game, but there's just nothing new out for it now. Nothing exciting to me at least.

Delta Force 2 isn't that realistic. It's a fun game, but it's just not realistic. It's got good graphics, OK gameplay, but it's just not realistic.

LOL I really think this has the potential to be a great game if they could just work out these bugs.

I think that last bit about people running too fast is due to the netcode. It apparently has people sliding around going from one place to the other, making them move pretty fast. It's very annoying when you get bunched up. Another thing about being bunched up. The nades are too intricate for the standard player to use. I was escorting the pilot towards the LZ on one mission and we were all (stupidly, I admit) bunched up at a corner. Apparently someone on our team tried to throw a nade, but only clicked once and blew himself, and all of us, up. Including the pilot. It's just a little too big of a learning curve for a first person shooter, even though it's a very small learning curve. If that makes any sense.

If you ask me that's pretty messed up. Â These guys are trying to pass of some of Iraq's terms off surrender as war crimes. link removed
