Yeah, but then I would feel silly dressing up like a soldier and jumping dirt hills while shooting automatic weapons.





Or would I.......

....or just re-paint a Tourist in camo paint. Most everyone will think it's a Gear-up at first glance. :mrgreen:

There is only one way to find out.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

I wouldn't feel silly doing this

And anyone that would DARE accuse me of looking silly....well that's what the automatic weapons are for right? :)

fireguzzi,

You wouldn't be saying that if you really could shoot an automatic weapon. It rocks and it rolls, all at the same time. Its expensive as the weapon discharges a 30 round clip in a snap!

Nah, something that small, you'd want a .30 cal. the .50 would knock it over. lol And yeah, I'm a gun nerd, between Shorts and I, we've shot a large majority of the non-military weapons out there! lol

The 7.62mm PK machine gun is the factory recommended weapon. If, however, you desire more firepower, there's always this version...

Gummiente,

Ever run across the Bombardie dirt bikes the CAF used? My unit had three or four of the suckers......all stored away gathering dust, coz the damned things never could get started....even the mechanics gave up on them, but that didn't stop someone from trying to get them running.
Always ask why.
