I guess this means that the French regulars are starting to arrive as this guy doesn't look blatantly SF.

Who give the Serbs M-82s. I don't trust them with .50 rifles. :bash:

[Upfrontreporting]

I don't think they actually need the Barret, they produce their own .50 cal bolt action sniper rifle, it is called Black Arrow.

Upfrontreporting: Do you have any additional ifo on the 'Black Arrow'? I'm familiar with the Croation RT-20 but not with a Serbian .50 Cal. Rifle.
Thanks!

How come I can't see any picture, do I need a special software to see them?

[demotivater]

Just a time machine. :D

The thread is old, they probably aren't hosted anymore.

[Fee Fi Fo Fum]

Maybe the fact this thread is almost 2 years old is your problem.

Fee, wondering if you actually see the picture.
Sounds strange but even on recent threads, I can't see all the pictures, most of them are unseen, only a red cross on the upper left hand side is visible.
Do you need some kind of software that I'm not aware of?

[demotivater]

No, if you have a "normal" web browser, IE or (preferably) Firefox, that's all you need. Sometimes people only host pics for a couple days, once they're off the host server, you won't be able to see them. Pic of the day threads are usually stable, check that out and see if you can see them all there.

Thanks for the advice, yup I have IE (6 I think).
