    Short, concise and funny. Made me lolful! :o )

  2. Oni says:

    Reminds me of the Ender’s Shadow series, Shadow of the Giant iirc. Where the Indian rebel movement was started by villagers ‘blocking’ the roads like this. Wasn’t effective, it just sent a message.

  3. Ceefax says:

    Good job these guys are too dusky looking to be an American troop, I don’t think I could face another thread full of caps-lock outrage

  4. Steve says:

    Those are odd looking weapons…

    Definately not the M4 Carbine or the M-16…highly doubt those are our troops.

    • Alex says:

      Its the AUG.

      Fugliest thing EVER

    • comment cop says:

      Obviously not our troops since we stopped segregating our soldiers over 40 years ago.

    • Marcus says:

      The Steyr AUG is quite simply the most advanced assault rifle you’ve never heard of. It’s older than you’d think and it *still* looks like it dropped off the alien mothership.

      • Uncle Fester says:

        It’s a cousin of Lee Harvey Oswald’s gun… and quite the piece of engineering.

        Looks like the A1… possibly the A2. Hard to eliminate the 9mm variant, since the magazine is hidden. I favour the A1

        • rhorho says:

          *passes Unc the A1 Steak Sauce*
          That’s funny…I thought you would go for the Worchestershire…

          • Uncle Fester says:

            I’m an HP man actually…

            I’d a have thought that gun fetishist like you would be all over this… >:¬>

            • rhorho says:

              Fetishist? That would be my dad. I just have the one .38

              • Uncle Fester says:

                One more gun than I have. I somewhat lost the taste for them.

                • rhorho says:

                  I just have it for things that go bump in the night. I’ve lost more cats that way…
                  You’re quite knowledgeable about guns, at least of the modern automatic ilk. I used to have several handguns, but they were all older. One of them was a British Pepperbox. Are you familiar?

                  • Uncle Fester says:

                    Not really… I know it was one of the last common flintlocks. WW2 ans after

                    Was it functional?

                    • Uncle Fester says:

                      That should read WW2 and after is more my area :) Although things like Winchesters have a fascination…

                      IF your dad is a gun fetishist… Click behing my name for Messers Purdeyy’s gun stuff.

                      The quintessential English hunting iron… with sordid ‘pink’ shots of the innards.

                      Some of the guns are works of art…

                    • rhorho says:

                      The parts moved, but I never developed an interest in learning to load a flintlock. I’ve never killed anything with a gun, so bird shootsguns aren’t my Earl Grey.
                      Though I don’t own any, I’m fond of the older Winchesters, especially the prettier ones (gaudy case coloring, engraving, fancy sights, etc.). The good ol’ Colt Single Action Army is fun, especially with pearl or ivory grips. I hate Bisleys, though. Something about the curve on the upper part of the grip pisses me off, and they’re a b!tch to take apart.

      • Steve says:

        Oh I know the Steyr AUG now that you said the name, just didn’t recognize it from that angle. It was in a few video games back in the late 90s.

        I’m only accustomed to seeing it down the gunsights rendered in crummy last-gen graphics.

        It makes me think of Starship Troopers…it’s THAT cheesy looking…

        • Uncle Fester says:

          It’s a pretty nice piece of kit. Jams and misfires less than the equivalent US or UK kit. It’s the sort of thing you can drop in a muddy puddle, reverse a Land Rover over, stick it in a bucket of water over night and it’ll still empty the clip without killing the operator.

          It may be dumb looking, but it’s reliable. From a field maintenance pov, I’d stick with the AK or Uzi in production guns. I’m afraid my heart belongs to the Sten… reliable at medium range and you can fix it from tractor parts. No other combat weapon is easier to keep going, even though it lacks the finesse and technological reliability of modern guns.

          • OhMyGoodness says:

            The Australian army have been playing around with Steyr products for quite some time now, and sodiers I drink with seem to be well-pleased – certainly a good cut above the old M-16. They look like someone ripped them from the console of an arcade game, and initially there was some “urg – plastic gun” noises… but they’re well-liked, takes adverse conditions in its stride and has good hitting power. Only criticism seems to be that field-strip / clean is a little more like cranial surgery; don’t wanna lose fiddly parts.

  5. Foamer says:

    Yep. Not US – while I don’t know the age of the photo, we haven’t been wearing that uniform for the past couple years for the most part.

    Definitely odd looking weapons.

  6. Tessie says:

    *screams*
    “Look out! They’ve got ROCKS!!”

    • Kuromisa says:

      From the Evil Overlord list: “I will keep a special cache of low-tech weapons and train my troops in their use. That way — even if the heroes manage to neutralize my power generator and/or render the standard-issue energy weapons useless — my troops will not be overrun by a handful of savages armed with spears and rocks.”
      -
      That’s what your comment reminded me of.

  7. Brit says:

    lol man why didn’t we think of this?

  8. J says:

    Well, those are FAMAS, or French Assult Rifles, and they are wearing the French camofloge. And they still think stone walls are applicable to modern military manuvers, so yup they must be French. Just hope that whoever they are fighting aren’t nearly as cleaver as the Germans and drive around it!

  9. fuzzybutt says:

    the rifles look odd because they are a “bullpup” design where the firing mechanism is in the stock; it allows full length barrels in a shorter weapon.

    • Uncle Fester says:

      Without Mercenaries the Italians would never have invented the Bonds market…

      • OhMyGoodness says:

        Worthwhile thought, that… incidentally, if anyone has been burned recently in the bonds market, you can blame Italians. And mercenaries.

        • Uncle Fester says:

          Most things in modern finance you can blame on the Medicis, the Patriarch of Venice, the First Crusade, or the conversion of Italy from City State collection to country…

          I like learning the more obscure lessons of history.

          IF you want to know my real obejction to the Iraq war, look up ‘Operation Barbarossa’ sometime, then read ‘The Prince’

  10. Rhys says:

    lol, Steyr AUG ftw!

  11. JP says:

    when one comes across a row of rocks like that in Iraq, it is because there is an IED along that next stretch. The locals would go just out of sight of the bomb, and set that up to warn our troops about the trap.
    Don’t know where that is (I don’t think the french are in Iraq. . . luckily for the Iraqis) but they did have a few troops in Ashcanistan and they are in some “Peacekeeper” forces elsewhere for the Useless Nations
