The guy on the right is using a G36 of some sort(u can tell by the stock), but I'm wondering if it the full length G36 stock or the slightly shorter G36C stock?

Which is the Greek Police Special Intervention unit guy and which is the French..... GIGN?

The French is a GIPN member (French local SWAT), not GIGN... ;)

And the Greek is a EKAM member, Greece's counter-terrorrists unit. He is armed with a G36 apparently. Interresting... :)

[REMOV]

The guy on the right is using a G36 of some sort(u can tell by the stock), but I'm wondering if it the full length G36 stock or the slightly shorter G36C stock?The Greek is from the EKAM - Greece Police CT unit and the Frenchman IMO from RAID(*). About the gun - in my opinion it is shortened G36 buttstock, so this gun is probably 5,56m G36C assault rifle.

(*) Edit: GIPN (Groupe d'Intervention de la Police Nationale), your right Tiger. The same logo.

I'm really anger and sad... Those bastards seen that in nasirya italian soldiers were doing a good job and having good relationship with local people, and decided to broke it. But they will fail because italian soldiers will continue their peacekeeping duty at least as good as before this coward blast if not better than ever.

No way in hell that those are rounds for a .50 cal... maybe a 7.62mm

[Ratamacue]

Looks like .50cal to me.

[Seoulstriker]

Looks like .50cal to me.

how is that .50 cal? what do miniguns use, anyway?

[Vance]

Those look like 7.62mm rounds, .50 Cal rounds are MUCH bigger.

Seoul: Miniguns use 7.62mm rounds.

[Ratamacue]

Depends on which one. The one mounted on helicopters fires 7.62mm, but if you look at those bullets, they look like they're about half an inch in diameter. I could be wrong though.

[Seoulstriker]

Those look like 7.62mm rounds, .50 Cal rounds are MUCH bigger.

Seoul: Miniguns use 7.62mm rounds.


yeah, then it definitely has to be 7.62mm rounds. and helicopters don't use .50 cal anymore: higher rate of fire is needed to cover an area, and .50 cal can't supply that high rate.

Any one know why he has two American Flag patches?

because he is special forces and he can dress in style

[Seoulstriker]

http://www.xbox-connection.com/hostedimages/roundNextToFinger.jpg

compare the diameter with his finger. it looks like it's between .25 and .33 inches. -->.30 in = 7.62 mm :P

[James]

Those rounds are 7.62mm. They are probably for an M-240.

FYI, the USMC has been testing a new version of the .50 for use in rotary wing aircraft. It is designated the m-3, and it has a soft mount, so that the recoil is absorbed. ROF - around 1100 RPM. Nice... :D

[Andyman]

How'd you zoom in like that on his finger? :cantbeli:

I was thinking the same thing... I've been loading up enough 7.62's in my time, so I know one when I see one... Those are 7.62

[Steve Andrews]

As an ex GPMG gunner, I can confirm that they are 7.63X51mm rounds!

French Urban camo? Haven't seen that before.

And I agree, the Greek CT guy is carrying a G36C.

Maybe they're airsofters ;-)

[Tiger]

And I agree, the Greek CT guy is carrying a G36C.

Maybe it's a G36K. We can't see the difference between the two models on the photo...

I SAY NO. If we retire our troops now, it would mean that those assholes that did this mess have won. We have to stay to demonstrate them we aren't afraid and we will continue to help iraqi people like we did 'til today.

[REMOV]

Maybe it's a G36K. We can't see the difference between the two models on the photo...Well, we can see it. G36C has shorter buttstock than G36K. Look below.
