    I love it when the water gets warmer, just about time for swimming for over 15 minutes without limbs falling off

    With a BFA & no mag on his rifle, I think his ability to perform any security has been limited. Maybe training?

    I don't know if bullets can "cold off"
    But these sure would if they could.

    Defend this place from who? Only people crazy enough to be out there are Canadians, and they're sleeping off the playoff beers.

    Blank firing attachment. A muzzle attachment to allow the rifle to function as normal when firing blanks, it limits the amount of gas allowed to exti the front of the barrel.

    If hes performing security, why in the world would he need his firing adaptor? Last time I checked, we don't blank people to death...

    Maybe he's just using his C7 as a fishing-rod...

    Well, how long do you think those guys have to endure that bit of weather.
    Max 2 hours before it's back to a warm comfortable cabin and a nice cup of tea.
    As for normal temperatures on the sea in temperate and sub-arctic climates it can be quite cold well into early summer during the day and for most of they year during nighttime.
    Like when I bought a book about German WW-2 E-boats some time ago (Osprey), the author seemed knowledgeable about the technical aspects of the boats, yet also appeared quite a landlubber somewhat clueless about the nature of the sea itself.
