Does one of the 249 gunners have an Elcan? - page 4    :-\

Yup. I've seen a lot of M249 an M240 gunners with the C79(or whatever they call it).

 

[purple peguin]

they seem to have a different selection of weapons ie. scoped rifle on the first page, shot gun, m29 saw without stock.

M-14 outfitted as sniper rifle.

I'm guessing your referring to the M249 paratrooper model, it does have a butt, its retractable.   The M14 with the sights, etc is a M21, some of the newer ones with syenthetic stocks, etc are the M21 Designated Marksman Rifle. Everyone else has M4s, M16A2s and M16A4s.

HUAH!!

Were they actuall combat jumps(did they get the stars on their jump wings)? Or just training jumps in theatre?

 

[paracowboy]

combat jumps. And they DID see combat. There have been many more combat jumps in Iraq and Afghanistan than ever make the news.

FWIW on the US CBT Jumps - you can only get one star / theatre / mission

Do a fewCbt jump in Iraq and Afghan -- still only one gold star...

GWOT is considered one for that count.

Panama was the other theatre - and if you have three - it would be a Vietnam vet...

Plenty of info on US Cbt Jumps over at LF or SOCNET
