Where were they keeping their AK's, up their rear end?

Out at sea, salt air, no maintenance. Is it really surprising their AKs are rusted to hell?

I was just saying the same thing to someone on Twitter, they both seem to have a whiff of the DIY about them. I've been looking through Soviet/Russian arms catalogs and not been able to find a match for either of them so far.

If anyone is looking for videos from Syria I've been putting them into various Youtube playlists for a while, you all might find something interesting there.

I'm no bomb expert but if you told me to make a big-rear end aircraft bomb I'd probably make one that looks like that.

Here's we see some Syrian opposition fighters sneak up behind a tank, then send in a guy to drop a grenade into it. Slighty :nws: for obvious reasons

This is why you support tanks with infantry. How many times are people going to have to learn that lesson the hard way? Though I think that tank was already disabled? It just sat there as the rebels shot at it for some reason.

Idiot civ here. Pretty sure I remember seeing videos/webpages that had crazy photos and accounts of gun markets in afghanistan and such where really old and random weapons show up. I wish I could find some.

You would trip over Mosins, Enfields, and old timey pistols at shops in Afghanistan.

Not all chemical agents are blistering agents, there are blood, choking and nerve agents that are much, much worse.

Being hit with nerve gas wouldn't leave burns, but it would kill you just as well (actually better)

Are blistering agents the easiest to make? I'm basing this off nothing but nerve agents sounds difficult to use and make.

That's funny because when I went to throw a grenade I said gently caress the counter-intuitive way I was taught to throw them and chucked that poo poo like a baseball. It got me tackled even though I threw it like 40 yards.

They told me to throw it like a baseball in basic. And I did. And it went far as gently caress because I totally could've gotten drafted out of highschool if my shoulder didn't suck AND IT'S TRUE I WONT HEAR OTHERWISE!
