Weren't we just discussing some of these the other day? I think these are from Syria but not completely sure. The first is neat, an improved sitting position. Perhaps the officer's version...how about it Peter? Then the strange things you see during a gunfight... Last a couple of marksman versions. One more collectable than the other... I just had to show you the second one because it's so radical.
I remember during the Libyan Civil War (if you truly consider it over), they were talking about how the FN was one of the favourite rifles over there until the price of 7.62 doubled (due to the increased demand).
They also turned in a few hundred or so STGs('43,'44,'45)at one point. I have the pics of an MP38 or 40 over there.
I am not surprised in the least, hell there were even Carcanos in use in Libya. Over in the third world if it works it will still be used at least until something better comes along.
That is some scope in pic 4! That would take off a few eyebrows
I thought it was a photoshop at first. Had to look again, and then why would anyone do that?Quote:

Caption for the first pic:
"Just another day at the office".
No, I meant why would anyone do a photoshop on a pic of an FN? In reality the scope is an attempt to make a top grade, ultra long range, street fighting sniper rifle I should think...with a 30 rd mag no less...Quote:

Picture 1, thread 1 is likely to be a Guards Officer conducting the battle
And a gentleman of course...like the one we had in Gagetown...Quote:

Nothing like a tune on the old guitar whilst your mates conduct a battle, probably like DJANJO UNCHAINED with a multi rocket launcher inside, NO hang on a minute its Bob Marley:lol::lol:
Same musical photo chaps......... anyone recognise what the crackshot is shootin' fram de' weast........ shootin' bang bang bang op de' road inn'i.
Guitar man also looks like he is sporting a Bob Dylan style mouth organ.
Yes, a one man band...
I might be mistaken here and I hope I am, but surely man taking aimed shots with the FN, kneeling in front of guitar man is creating a danger area for man shootin' de banga banga banga gon in de front inn'i
I think the safety supervisor needs a word in his shell like!
I don't see his range safety with a mil stick behind him...either...
Maybe dey all just had a big smoke. Makes for a relaxed combat atmosphere eh rastafaria?
That's Syria Buddy...but I guess they'd be a'smokin something...dung of their ancestors...?
What was that song from the late 80s, "If I Had A Rocket Launcher" or some such?:rofl:Quote:

Pic #2 M.G gunner has the All Terrain Crocs good grip etc as long as he does not step to far left he should keep his head, Pic #1 the AA seat has the added advantage of being movable under recoil so after @20 rounds your far enough away to be safe from a missile attack plous they have the right weapon on the ute for AA work, I guess the guitarist would be banging away with some Iron Butterfly music as that is ultra heavy metal stuff well before the Doors one song goes for 17 minutes now that is heavy........
You need a drum set to do that one song right (the drum solo alone is famous)...though perhaps the gunfire and "incoming" could work in a pinch....Quote:

OR, to compensate for something really, really small...:rofl:Quote:
