On the subject of special forces, here is a documentary on the selection course for the Australian SAS. Speaking as a civilian, it looks incredibly loving brutal. edit: full thing here. Hydrolith fucked around with this message at 02:41 on Aug 24, 2013 |

To my knowledge, the Australian SAS is modelled on the British. As far as I know, their main thing is reconnaissance for long periods of time in enemy territory. They aren't exclusively counter terrorism, though they provide one counter-terrorism unit called TAG West. There's another one, TAG East, that's sourced from the Commandos (wiki link).

Isn't that bit on the back of the bullet supposed to come off before the thing comes out the barrel?

Google says: "NEIL BLAKE | nblake@mdn.net Jim “Pee Wee” Martin of Carlton portrays a World War II U.S. Army 101st Airborne Division, 2nd Battalion, 502nd Parachute Infantry Regiment paratrooper".
