The Army issues new soldiers something we call a "Smart Book"... well they issued this HUGE one with TONS of pictures... even though I probably should've actually been reading, I admit, I usually used the pictures as references to draw. The pictures in there aren't too great or detailed or COLORED, which is why there are probably PLENTY of mistakes in this pic.
But if you can name in the comments the identity of all three guns shown in here, you so win. Win what? Respect.
Hmm. You know what i'd like to see in this pic? An FN F2000 Assault Rifle with all of the necessary attachments, The SCAR(Special Combat Assault Rifle) 7.62x51mm that has recently been tested by the SEALS; The XM8 OICW(Objedctive Individual Combat Weapon) Assault Rifle(mode of fire and configuration doesn't really matter), an HK G36 7.62x51mm UDR with double drum saddle magazine and forward entry light, HK MP7 4.6x37mm PCW(Personal Compact Weapon) Submachinegun with scope, and collapisble stock, The XM303 Less Than Lethal 40mm Grenade Launcher, HK Mark23 SOCOM .45 caliber Semi-Automatic Pistol, 2 HK USP 9mm Parabellum smei-Automatic Pistols w/ Match Muzzle Break and Gunmetal Black Finish, the Daewoo USAS 12 Automatic Shotgun, a FN P90 7.62mmx51mm Submachinegun, and a SIG 552 Commando 5.56x45mm Assault Rifle with rail mounted scope, extended magazine, and foldable bipod. But that's just me, at the moment. What has been mentioned, are some of my favorite firearms, non-fictional anyway.
See, now you're speaking a language I can vaguely understand. *L* Seriously though, woot. As you can see, I'm just barely starting out. That and the Smart Book didn't have a lot to choose from.
Oh,and I double checked. The SCAR stands for Special Forces Combat Rilfe. Ah, the benefits of being on Wikipedia. And it's alright if you don't understand. i'm more of a gun/martial arts/melee-martial arts weapons buff, than I am about military stuff. That's why I have friends who are in the military, to ask these sorts of questions. I just figured that since it's a military book, that It would have a lot to choose from.
Hmm. Let me see. I recognize the guns. The one she's holding in front of her is the M249 SAW(Squad Automatic Weapon) 7.62mm Light Support Magazine with standard box magazine holding anywhere from a 100 to 200 rounds of 7.62mm Fullmetal Jacket or Semi-Jacketed Ammuniton, which is high-velocity.(I don't see the Box Magazine on there, but generally it comes with a box magazine.) On her back, is the Standard Infantry Issued Colt M16A2, which is different in construction than the M16 used during Vietnam, which if I'm not mistaken, has a Bakelite body. the Newer M16A2 have bodies that are constructed out of harder material, possible steel or a composite plastic. the Pistol in the holster, probably is Standard Infantry Issued Beretta M9 or M92F 9mmx19 Parabellum Semi-Automatic Pistol. The word Parabellum, refers to the type of Ammunition used by NATO, while 9mmx17, is what is used by those of the Warsaw Pact. neither type of ammunition is exchangable, unless you make modifications to the Gun's firing mechanism. Am I off by any?
Weapons: M249 SAW, made by FN-Herstal. Belt fed or magazine fed, 5.56 mm. Good for suppressive fire.
M16A1 Rifle (I'm assuming that due to the design of the forward handguard). A highly accurate 5.56 mm Assault Rifle, which is general issue in the US military. Or was, rather. Being supplanted by the M4 (a carbine version with retractable stock) and the M16A3, (very similar design, with round, symmetrical forward handguards, and slightly different pistol grip, and heavier barrel) I qualifed "Expert" on the M16A1 when in Basic. Nice shooting rifle if you keep it clean and properly oiled (but not over-oiled)
M92 Pistol: This is a guess, since I can't exactly tell if that's a pistol in your holster (or you're just happy to see us... ) 9 mm Made by Beretta. General consensus from the military folks I know consider it a poor replacement for the M1911A1 .45 caliber pistol. I personally have no experience with it, because it was fazed in long after I left the Army. I was issued a .38 caliber Smith & Wesson when on flight status, which was assumed to be a "last ditch" weapon. I would have grabbed one of the M60 machine guns we had for the door gunners if I needed too. Of course, I probably would have had some "personal equipment" stowed with me anyhow.
Nicely done, Shinga... Love the shine she's got in her eyes... a lovely green-eyed red-head with guns makes my heart go pitter-pat!
