It appears that the DC metro cops arent fooling around.

Dola, and that gun fits in his arm like my 1980s GI Joe toys' guns fit in their arms: not too well.

[Raiders Army]

Those gloves make the gun look puny.

[Raiders Army]

Wow...I beat my own timestamp.

One shot and he recoils like 50 feet.

[Raiders Army]

Those look larger than 7.62mm, which the M-60 took and that was a crew-served weapon. They look smaller than .50 cal, which is good for that guy.

I almost wonder if the photo isnt out of focus or somehting, his one hand looks huge compared to the other one.

It certainly has a "fish eye" quality to it.

Looks like an H&K 5.56NATO carbine with folding stock and optical sight (red dot? laser? scope?) and either a dual-mag setup (for easy mag switching) or a 100+ round box magazine on it. I mean, there's no underbarrel GL or shutgun, there's no big fancy nightsight, or any other really fancy stuff. That gun's nothing. Not that I wouldn't mind owning one, though...

[Farrah Whitworth-Rahn]

I think that gun is taller than I am.

[SlapBone]

I know its not the same kind of gun but every time someone says "Big Gun" I think of this one.

Sorry didn't mean to derail the conversation. You may now continue with your regularly scheduled discussion.

This thread title is begging for a more perverted photo, but I'm not going to risk time in the box for it. ;)

I'm no gun freak but I have a friend who works for Qinetiq and they do military research. He tells me sometimes about 'current' state of art in weaponary.

Some machine guns have a computer inside that controls the application of lubricant to keep the friction down. That is high tech...

FN? You can't possibly resist this one, can you? :)

Some internal organs have a gland inside that controls the application of lubricant to keep the friction down. That is high tech...

Fixed it for ya.

That carbine is Hechler-Koch G36, maybe with a few dandies on it. fires standard NATO 5.56 rounds.

That's an awesome gun.

[BigJohn&TheLions]

That's an awesome gun.

Agreed. And anyone who tries to infringe on my right to attach one of those to my Buick has a fight on their hands! :D

You can tell that he's a batchelor . . .
