I'll bet the two guys in front appreciated the muzzle blast from the Carbine :(
The nearer man is pointing down...maybe shooting the big rats they had there on the islands...

That reminds me of the horror stories my Dad's uncle told of the giant black spiders crawling out of the rubble on Sicily. Said a buddy found one in his shirt ugh.
Mine told me of the scorpions of Italy, then I joined up and saw them in Cyprus...Quote:

The spiders or scorpions? One or the other is bad enough, I hope not both :)Quote:

Two M48s on the line at Ft. Drum, dopey Lieutenant stands between them using binoculars to look down range. BAM, they fire together, muzzle deflectors direct the blast to the side, they meet at the Lieutenant. He's deaf now.
Scorpions. The spiders were in Australia...Quote:
