[QUOTE]Originally posted by Bernie [B]Yes, those Hollywood "Napalm Grenades" do tend to be a little unrealistic. The same with lead bullets sparking off trees, whining ricochets off various soft objects (I once saw a movie that had whining, sparking ricochets off a hay bale!) and untamped dynamite charges (usually 4-5 sticks) taking down entire buildings. Oh, and the guy who picks up the .50 cal, throws a belt over his shoulder and then charges the enemy, firing as he goes. Take a look at my avatar picture... That's half a belt of .50 cal I'm wearing, and it weighed close to 50 pounds. Add a Ma Deuce on top of that, in addition to the other 100 pounds of gear your average grunt carried, and the guy would be lucky he could stand up, let alone run. Not to mention it's impossible to feed an MG from a belt that's wrapped around your freakin' neck without strangling yourself! :D Been there, tried that, it don't work! [/B][/QUOTE] I know what you mean, Bernie. Guys, take a look at this; .50 cal ammo is frickin' HUGE. :eek: No wonder V2's scout .50 cals make mincemeat out of my AFVs... :rolleyes: [IMG]http://www.militarystencils.com/images/Additionalitems/elarsen_50Cal_Ammo.jpg[/IMG]
