Doesn't all that metal and glass around it make it hard to carry.
Looks like shooting it from the hip is out.

Never could figure out why she was so heavy when I tried a Rambo hold and fire ..lol
That ole Ma Deuce, she was a terrifying thing when let loose with API.
Nothing in her way could handle her short of a tank.
Usually in a scrap it dont take long with six of them girls going off on insurgents to see who has the stomach for a fight and who dont.

| Fired a Quad 50 once. That impressed me. Of course I was only 21 and fresh of the farm.

That can full of API would do the trick and that AT4 ya got strapped on the back
I carried a pistol gripped mossy loaded with double ought behind my back..for going into BIAP, all them house and cluttered buildings going into Baghdad,
For them turds that wanted to run up and throw a hand grenade at a gunner,.
A face full of double ought buck civilizes them kind real quick
watching a Haji going going into Anaconda at daylight after a all night run to and back from Tikrit
API for insurance against VBIED`s

No dont believe I saw that, I was PSD for any bigwigs that flew in to BIOP 2 stars and up,politicians,ect,anytime we left Baghdad we was in birds I think I've been to almost every LZ in Bahgdad and most north of bahgdad,only went south of Baghdad maybe 3 times.
Spent a lot of time on Irish,almost everyone we babysat went to the Embassy,a few potshots at you here and there but that was usually about it,we missed the huge truck vbied by flying man on Irish by less then 10 min.We avoided the bad routes 90% of the time didnt want to put the bigwigs in unnessacary danger,didnt always work the way we planned though because several of us did leave IRAQ with a CIB LOL!!!
Basically we was just glorified Taxi drivers and Bell hops LOL..
I spent a couple weeks doing patrols south of Biap,and a couple weeks sitting in towers on the wall,we was trying to help out a sister company that was undermaned.
I did get to go into a lot of the palaces and see things most people over there never got a chance to see.
I am guessing you was convoy security??
I guess I've run this thread way off topic I should start one in the military forum we could put up a pic now and then of things we saw and places we've been in Iraq,I bet a lot of guys might find some of it interesting..
