ive been thinkin about buying one but i dont ant to spend a bunch of money on one unless it is really accurare
Seriously people who cares? I am one of the many atheists that carry that very sight on their M4/M16 and guess what? It’s a great optic. It does the job and it does it well. Who cares if the owner of the CIVILIAN company wasted his money by having these verses cast into the sight? This in no way violates the separation clause.
@no1home2: Did you miss the part where I said I carry that exact sight on my assigned weapon? Trust me, it’s there.
Students dressed in military fatigue, how I remember the sight during Sundays close-by where I used to live. I even remember them carrying wooden dummy-rifles. All they ever seem to do is march around and get exposed to the sun! Young guys getting yelled at, punched in the chest, made to do push-ups and spend half of what is supposed to be "family-day" in an oppen terrain wondering what they’re there for.
If the point in all of this is to prepare people for a real war scenario, then don’t you think what those poor "cadets" are doing is just a waste of time, sweat and money?
Hott-damn the internet connection here is dead-slow!
Thanks Isabel. Like Mr. White in "Resevoir Dogs"… I don’t smile for pictures.
With the obvious exception of that one…. and my graduation photo…. and my driver’s license.
The United States doesn’t need an army, navy, marines, coast guard, etc, etc. It’s just like the 2nd Amendment — these things were implemented by the Founding Fathers over 2 centuries ago! Back then a military and guns were needed, but today we have no need for either.
Think of the money that could be saved — bring home every soldier worldwide! No more Bush wars, Afghanistan wars, etc. The money saved could be used to provide free health care and help us fight global warming.
President Obama is bringing the change that WE THE PEOPLE elected!

ok lets say your the president of a small country like sri lanka or Lebanon and you had 17 billion dollars to spend on your military this is money apart from your national budget maybe donated from various countries what would you spend it on?
Here what i would do:
100 mig 29’s 50 million each 5 billion
8 navy frigates 250 million each 2 billion
500 Leopard 2 tanks 5 million each 2.5 billion
25 gazelle helicopters 500 million
2 billion for armored vehicles and rifles vests etc.
And the rest of the 5 billion will go towards anti missile defenses really big guns and bonuses for the troops.
please no body answer this question by telling me that it should be spent on food or the homeless etc… i like military hardware and this is a military topic so please if your not gunna answer the question with something related to the question than dont answer
saving uncle sam a lot of money,they like crew cuts, and dressing alike. last but not least, they seem to enjoy shooting people for no reason.maybe they can do a drive by in a tank?
What should the federal government do about military-style firearms semiautomatic so-called assault weapons and 50-calibre rifles) in American society? 1)direct governmental ban? 2)national voluntary buyback program (owners are paid money to voluntarily turn in semiauto asssault weapons and 50-calibre rifles)? 3)an anti-crime law (especially in cases where the weapon and perepetrator go across state lines to commit a crime with military-style gun)? 4)simply adopt a hands-off do-nothing policy?
So we all know the M16 is junk, and the American contract with Colt is coming to an end. What does everyone think the new AR for the US military will/should be. I’m putting my money on the Belgan FN SCAR.
I finally have the money to upgrade the buttsock and the hand guards of my dragunov tiger rifle to the military style. If anyone knows where a set (buttstock and hand guards) is up for sale or if you yourself might have one for sale, plase let me know. I really appreciate it.
Fighting boredom here.
Okay, here’s the scenario. The DOD has been reading your answers on the hunting section of YA and they were so impressed that they decided to hire you as their small arms consultant to completely redo their small arms inventory based on your recommendation.
So, what do you tell them? What rifle, handgun and calibers do they get? Don’t worry about money because Ben Bernanke said he will print whatever is needed. He’s got your back on this.
Great stuff everyone, and yes, if you think the current inventory is tops then let’s hear it.
