They said ostrich feathers, then used Chinese Ring Neck Pheasant feathers in the demo. Just sayin.

And the “Green Berets” they got for the show were a joke. Missing a stationary target with a 9mm is just sad. Any Green Beret worth his salt would be packing a 1911 .45 ACP anyways, not some shitty 9mm girly gun. An M-4 Carbine? What a joke, that’s standard infantry crap. Special Forces use what ever rifle they feel will get the job done and it sure as shit ain’t gonna be some .223 varmint round. I’m tired of pussies not able to handle the recoil of .308s. If you can’t handle a .308, then you don’t have any business soldiering in the U.S. Army, especially if you’re SF.

You dont know what the fuck you are talking about
Jesus H. Christ…Drakkar-Viking, it must be hard to type so much with all that Scandinavian wang in your mouth.
Hey fellas- this shit is entertainment. That’s all. If you think it’s in any way “scientific” or realistic, you need to get your head corrected.
And Drakkar-Viking (what the fuck kind of name is that?) that’s a hell of a first two posts. Wise men listen for a second before they shit out their mouth.
Hm. I just get tired of the misconception about Viking culture. It gets old, real old. No one seems to do their home work.
Sjoconn… You must have a love affair with the 9mm and .223 round. I’d personally take a M1 Garand over any rifle that shot a .223. And as far as hand guns go… the 1911 .45 ACP is by far the best. I would think Green Berets would use only the best? Or am I wrong?
All the SF I’ve met prefer the 1911 .45 ACP as a side arm. I guess you’re the exception. There are always exceptions, I suppose. Just so you know… It was a politician and not a soldier who decided the .223 and 9mm should be standard for the U.S. forces.
Well, Ron… I’m not quite sure if that is supposed to offend me or not. It seemed like a pathetic attempt at an insult. It’d probably be better if you made a post that was educational or semi educational. Or are too incompetent to perform such a task? “Must be hard to think of something intelligent with that Canadian dick stuck in your ear”
You must be speaking for yourself, Fighting Irish. In that case, I couldn’t agree with you more. What kind of name is Drakkar Viking? Well, it’s a Viking one, obviously. Are you gonna ask which direction the sun sets next? Poor guy.

I am not sure how well connected you are to the community, but I would venture to guess not very well. Like all soldiers what you “prefer” to use and on the ground truth are very different things. Personally what I prefer to use would be dictated by the mission. For example the .45 1911 is not as good as a Glock when I need a concealed weapon. Just so you know all matters that influence how the Army is equipped are made by politicians not soldiers. Any time you want to tell me more about the community and how things are according to some guy you met or some BS book you have read you just let me know.
In the meantime do your homework.

LOL.
owned.
Let’s see. The M-14 is still available in the U.S. arsenal, SF shouldn’t have any trouble aquiring it. Hell, I bet you could even get a hold of a G3. .308 dominates .223, it’ll drop a taliban douche within one or two shots even if he’s on PCP WITH body armor. It’ll take WAY more rounds from a .223 to do anything near that. Not to mention the .223 has no stopping power what-so ever.
If you didn’t know or think you could pack the M-14 or G3, then perhaps you are the one not that well connected to the community and you might be the one who should do a little homework? By the way… The M-16 and M-4 Carbine platforms will jam when too much dirt gets inside them. The M-14 doesn’t and it’s a hell of alot more durrable.
A 1911 .45 ACP can be concealed just as easily as a glock. That statement was rubbish. I have a CCW and I conceal carry my Springfield 1911 all the time. It’s very sleak, the glock is bulky. You might be referring to the weight of the guns, I suppose. In that case, the statement is still rubbish. Glocks will jam when too much dirt gets inside them, 1911s won’t. Glock is a good gun no doubt, but guess what? Any hand gun that comes out is compared to which one? The 1911. That gun has set the standard for all hand guns.
I’m really not trying to insult you, but I know my guns and I do know SF get way more room to work with exotic and uncommon rifles (M-14 is considered uncommon for the simple fact not many use them) You’d be amazed at how many enlisted men don’t know that you can qualify for that rifle in basic, if you get expert marksman, hell… alot of officers don’t even know it. Check it out.

You know your guns and read a few books/watch the discovery channel
I do this for a living.
Yup…I need to do my homework
Ah lag. Sorry for the double post. Didn’t think it the first one went through. Oh well. Nah. The discovery channel sucks. Just because you do it for a living doesn’t mean you automatically know everything about it. That in itself is arrogant to think.
[quote]Drakkar-Viking wrote:
You have trouble concealing a 1911? Is it too heavy for you? I have a CCW license and I can conceal my Springfield 1911 .45 ACP just fine. It is heavier than a glock, but when you carry it all the time, you get used to it. And I’d be glad to tell you how things are. If you’re claiming you’re special forces and you’re saying you aren’t allowed to carry a certain rifle currently availabe in the U.S. arsenal, then perhaps you are the one not that well connected to the community. Hm. The M-14 is still available and all you need to do is get expert marksman in basic to be able to pack it. You can go ahead and look it up if you want. There’s nothing that a .223 can do that a .308 won’t do better. It’s an overall better round. It might take as many as 4 or more rounds to drop one of them crazy taliban’s that are doped up on PCP unless it’s a head shot, especially if they’re wearing armor. A .308 is going to drop them instantly with the first shot. And if needs be, you can squeeze off another round just to make sure he’s gonna stay down. )There isn’t any body armor other than dragon skin that will stop a .308 and those stupid taliban idiots can’t aquire it)
By the way… I’ve seen glocks fail when they get too dirty. A 1911 won’t. Same thing goes for the M-16/M-4 Carbine platforms. If they get too dirty, they start jamming. M-14s are much more forgiving in that sense. Way more durrable. Give it a try. You might find out that you like it.

You may not want to be insulting, but your doing a damn fine job of being insulting. You have no idea how Army acquisitions work or how difficult it is for a unit to change its TO&E. I have fired many different guns, but those guns are not organic and not readily available.
Its also nice that you know my AOR so well that you can dictate what works better here for various purposes.

No more arrogant than being an arm chair quarterback with no practical experience. I dont claim to know everything about the Army acquisitions program. I do know whats on my organic TO&E and how difficult it is to change that or to get non-organic equipment for mission.
Like I said, there’s nothing a .223 can do, that .308 won’t do better. And I’m not buying the whole, “I can’t get that rifle”. If you’re special forces, you’re going to get the rifle you want. It’s not like it’s a custom paint job on a hot rod. M-14s are readily available.

I guess I could say the same for you. You’re probably the so called “arm chair quarterback” posing as SF. It would seem fitting. Very typical.
Hmmm…someone should have just stuck to all things “Viking.”
Adrian Peterson…FTW!
Well… I was making a comment on some deadliest warrior episodes and someone took offense because they like using varmint rounds. What ever, though.

I apologize for the Hijack. I took offense because someone was talking out their ass about things they do not know about.
I havent watched the show so cannot comment on the episode.
End Hijack
