good pics

And some FAL goodness.










 

Been a while since I have seen one of these threads. Always enjoy. Thanks.

Why is he muzzle sweeping his fellow officer?

Been a while, thanks for posting.

Are those Japanese using a Japanese FNC copy, or did they actually buy FN FNCs?

Thanks Lumpy! Keep an eye out. There's going to be a lot of cool gun pics with the olympics coming up!

It's amazing how our MIL's finger off the trigger habit is rubbing off on others.

Neither, it's home grown.

Lumpy delivers.............!

Anyone else suprised to see that drum mag in the third pic?

Ha! I see what you did there.

Miami superbowl pics interesting.  Cops wearing OD (instead of black) and looks like they got some nice equipment

Kewl.

The Miami cop is better armed than most of the soldiers

Looks like a Mini-14 ??!!

Yep. Howa Type 89.

That landing craft in the Japanese pic looks badass.

Kind of bizarre having Japanese troops making an amphibious landing on the US West Coast isn't it?

Face Shield Fail.  Way to go, Benjamin.

That and the silly spare mag fore grip thing.

Weapon retention fail

Great pics as always.

Thanks Lumpy!

Thanks.

These posts are my fovorite.

Shoot safe,

Awesome.

Thanks for the pictures.

Surreal.  I need to show the pic to my (WWII Vet) Dad to get him all spun up






 

Going to Starbucks.  Open Carry.  



We Know We're Looking Cool.
Thanks Lump.

 
 

LoL

Well at least CA took care of all the rifles behind each blade of grass....

Wow , you have alot of posts.  Keep upping it with the awesome pics.   Thanks.

I'm digging the Japanese rifles.

I've got to look into those some more, anyone have any info on them?

The only info I have on them is good luck finding one.

It's a Mini 14.  He'd miss anyway.

LOL!



 

M-14 goodness.....mmmmm

Thanks Lumpy! Been a while. Nice Micro Galil there

Hey, that's some M14 goodness right there!

I always like the Filipino pictures with vintage US arms.
And it looks like the A-team has shown up in Haiti.

Not only could that Palestinian have touched the muzzle with his foot, he's even letting his partner grab his sling!

I can't say I'd expect the Haitian National Police to be sporting the latest and greatest in military hardware.

Also, a Micro Galil in Picture # 11. Sure would like to build one, but my state laws won't let me, even as a semi. Thanks for the photos, Lumpy, keep'em coming!

Theres been a seriously lack of any decent news photos lately...

Thanks Lumpy!

MUST.....BUILD....IDF CARBINE!!!!!! I love these threads..
