say that range looks familar..................
ahh but it was a nice day wasn't it?
I was out at the mt range rocking out the 2g gate as sentry when I wasn't doing the gunfighter package. *loads* of fun on sentry, at least I had some heat tabs and a cateen cup and stove to heat up my water. at least I could almost feel my fingers when I was firing my c7.
and my gustav's are so much cooler looking then yours :P

ahh thank god I won't be out there those days.
florida here I come on the 8th, woots!
what's so bad about a plq? you can yell and stuff, and make privates eat bugs!
but I still won't ever listen to you :P
gunfighter stuff is good fun, I can't wait till we actually start stacking up doing live fires like that, lets see how that goes.

It's times like these I wish the Brits kept the CG in service (but I didn't have to carry it on tabs). Good pics, Canuck Scaley.

Is this Pet? And what are the targets - old hulks or just mockups? Would be cool to go and see what the damage was, after. If these are opsec questions, my apologies. (Wouldn't these pics have to be cleared before release anyways?)

it's pet.
they're old tank hulls.
concrete rounds don't do much. they tend to smash into said target and that's about it.

So when the Sig Weenies walk into each others back blast, they can extinguish them.
Yeah Infantry!!!!!!1111!!!! Pro Patria!!!!!

Seriously though, I think watching my wife fire an 84 would be quite a turn on.

Not just watching. We got to fire on the same team. Nothing like having your wife lock onto you while you let the rocket fly...oh and the 84 mm too p-)
