    Default A few of my pictures from Eager Lion 2012

    Hey everyone, figured I'd upload these now that I have the time. I'll upload a few videos also but the internet isn't great here.


















    Yours truly snacking on some delicious MRE cheese and crackers:


    An OP we spent three hours building, only to be told to push up another klick six minutes after we finished:

    Here's a video of a fly-by some cobras were doing, they came around about four times, lower and lower every time.



    SMAW and AT-4 shot on a range we did.

    very cool pictures. thanks!

    coincidently i came across some stryker pictures yesterday and i was wondering why these have the fans on the right side of the vehicle. on your pictures i see now that you seem to have an exhaust on your stryker. do you or anyone else have any idea for what exactly these fans are for? air con inside or additionally cooling for the engine cooling water?

    We roll in the LAV-25, which is completely outdated compared to the Stryker. My guess would be an externally mounted A/C unit, or upgrade to keep the engine temps down.

    Uploading a video of a shoot we did with the Italian Special Forces. Awesome guys and they brought a GMG, epic.

    That's definitely the plan, I'm trying to take as much photos as I can of what I do so I can pass it down to my kids, etc.

    Here is the video of the GMG, gnarly piece of weaponry.

    Thanks for the post. Your kids will appreciate them later and you will probably appreciate them even more later.
