Well the closer guy has a Acog so maybe its something to do with ranging? Im not really sure. but could be anything really. Ive even seen a picture of a note from a guys wife taped to his stock for encouragement.
So could be anything

His order for Pizza Hut.....

But serioulsy, it can be anything from a 9 liner format to a contact report format. People throw all kinds of stuff on the butt of their weapon, so you can glance down at it easily instead of digging for your FMP.

Probably a range card, or radio freq's.

It's a mirror, so that in the middle of a firefight he can see just how badass he looks.

Before when guns were made out of metal and wood, high speed pre-SEAL men notched their kill count into the wooden stock. However, with the advent of polymers on rifles, the notches were soon discarded and replaced with paper on which the SEAL could tally his kills.

True story, I once knew a bar tender who talked to Marines who had worked with SEALs on the moon, and he never ever lies

Exactly, it's just a cheat sheet. For anything.

You went to a website set up as a memorial to remember a man that was killed in combat, find a picture and then ask questions regarding a Sailors gear?

Hmmmm.

Hmmmm.

That's not a first though is it? I could've sworn someone else did the exact same thing; or at least posted a pic on here of a fallen SEAL and asked people to ID the gear :cantbeli:... Plus, most 1st posts are lacking SA and are full of ass-hattery if they didn't spend at least a few weeks learning how things are on here (I'm guilty:oops:), or simply reading the rules.

Good eye, D. Not too respectful IMO.

sh!t, I'm rambling about nothing again...

4) Lunch [ ]

Jokes aside R.I.P. Matt

You got an infraction for that highspeed. I'm sorry that there is not a specific infraction for "having head extremely far up own ass" but it'll have to do.

In the future, try to avoid grossly disrespecting fallen service members by asking gear queer questions so you can dress up like them and take pics in the living room in front of your Moms Beanie Baby collection.

We used to put arabic phrases on our buttstocks. Just easy stuff like come here, get down, drop your weapon, etc.

So I guess the hardcore "modern warfare reenactors" will all have this on their bb guns if they didn't already.

If all you guys want to be original and cool like these guys, why don't you go out and do your own thing too? Doesn't copying them directly (besides lots of other crap you should already know) defeat the whole purpose of reenacting special forces? IDK, but trying to be original by copying those who are is kind of a paradox.

Classic CJ's post, A fitting end for a unfitting thread.

Lots of advice in CJ's posts. I would highly recommend, following it.
