its used in the military for kiling? idk exactly...

I am in the MIlitary but I never heard of that. The military is highly organized thus everything is in control, or in theory!

good lord k9 when will you learn. they had the same thing in vietnam chay lei or something like that. before you assume our marines slaughtered in cold blood, try something different GET THE FUCKING FACTS. \nINNOCENT TILL PROVEN GUILTY

He uses an M16(A1) with an M203 40mm grenade launcher.  The scenes are kind of dumb because I don't think the round travels far enough to work in the real world, they have to go 31 meters for the HE rds to arm.  Sometimes live rounds don't ever arm, they just skip along the dirt and stop without going off.  (I am speaking from first hand experience, just BTW.)

The US military recognizes Wicca as a religion.  I see no reason for the US military to treat Wiccans any different than the members of all of the other religions that they recognize.  One would think that it would be a simple solution---unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case........

The choice of weapon is as personal as your choice of unmentionable garment.  The weapon must be one that the user is nost comfortable with.  The manipulation of it must be as if it were an extension of your own body.  In the "gravest extreme" (the use of deadly force) one's life or the life of loved ones, depends upon the proficiency with which the weapon is brought to bear.  Neither of your choices given are readily concealable with all attire. Both will "get the job done". (heaven forbid the "job" should ever need done)  Choose wisely after MUCH trial of various makes.

Most FOBs on Iraq have internet access and webcams allowed every place I've in in Iraq and Afghanistan and we were allowed to use them when we were on the FOB and off duty. Different units have different policies about IBA = individual body armor. In Iraq we wore ours 24-7 off the FOB but on the base we got out of them when ever we could. All Marines carry "rifles" the Army carries "weapons" and nobody uses a "gun" except artillery. As far as shiny finish on the weapons... could be oil after a cleaning. Although most should be showing some wear if they have been deployed for very long. The Marine uniforms aren't cheap, neither would a fake weapon. It would be a lot of expense just to go online and chat with. If there was more than one, which you indicated, I'd say there were the real deal and just not to bright. Something Marines have been accused of before. As for the person above asking for them to show their IDs. I would never show mine online.

there not,we have had a whole new system in operation for awhile now.and every day we are getting newer high tech weapons to use.for a true,more explained detail try to send that question (WHICH IS A GOOD QUESTION) to the TV show MAIL CALL. i don't know if you have seen the show,but they answer questions such as yours in detail.its a military show about the equipment used in wars. I'm sorry i don't have the email to them but you probably can get it by looking up the shows name MAIL CALL on the web.

texts I'm not sure about but you might want to look into some aspects of Ju Jitsu, karate kata i don't beleive uses weapons

Actually, most crew served weapons (at least US) do not use DU rounds.  Only our Tanks, Bradley BFV/CFVs, and some anti-tank aircraft cannons use them.  The 50CAL uses API/APTI and SLAP-T while IF the M240 and M249 use AP, they will use a tungston core.\n\nAs for Germany, yes, they employ DU like many other countries (US, UK, China, Russia/CIS, France, and many others).  DU rounds have no equal in penetration capabilities.  The only reason people want these banned is because they give the US and its allies a decisive advantage in tank v tank fights.  Here's a hint, when a tank is destroyed, its just gone through a high end chemical reaction.  That burning hulk is full of toxic substances even if no DU was used.  So, it you see a dead tank, STAY AWAY FROM IT.\n\nDU is self sealing.  It is not toxic unless you ingest it.  The people who clean these up wear respirators to protect from every toxin, not just the DU.  As Russian/Chinese tanks are sometimes lead lined, and the fact several thousand chemicals have surpassed 3000Dec C and recombined, you can see the ammount of toxic chemicals in the area.\n\nOr you can just be like every other anti-DU useful idiot and demand the US/NATO stop using it while the Chinese and Russian armies keep right on producing millions of rounds composed of it.

Its an MOS that is only open as a special duty assignment and you have to put in a package. I'm not sure but think its only open to NCOs

i would think its neither, if you have never heard this excuse: the american army needs to use there armament so people dont start saying that its just lying around useless. and they want to destroy some of it so they can explain why they got new better and more expencive ones.

It was the job of Kitchen Police (KP) in the military.  My job, straining garbage, was to search through through it for broken glass.  This garbage was sold to pig farmers, and any broken glass would injure or kill the pigs.\n   There were 3 of us performing this job, and we were given a separate area in the barracks.  However the job only lasted a week.

The current shortfalls are lack of long range coherence and huge power consumption.  Work to weaponize this technology has been going on for at least ten years that I know of, and it still is of very limited use.  The bomb clearing application is a fairly clever one, and actually makes use of the poor long range coherence of the beam.  The charged plasma can be projected a short distance, at which point it will try to find the lowest resistance path to ground.  Metal objects, especially ones with sharp edges, will attract this charged plasma strongly, and so hidden metal objects within close range will draw the strike to themselves.  So, for this it seems to work quite well.  It's still a large, cumbersome, and power intensive piece of equipment, however, without much record of successful use in the field.  The goal, ultimately, is to turn this sort of thing into a full scale beam weapon, but I think that's quite a ways off and possibly self-defeating.  Lasers typically convert <10%, and often <5% of the power they consume into laser light, so they're very inefficient.  The idea with LIPC is that a fairly high power laser, one powerful enough to ionize the air but not so powerful that it's particularly dangerous to armored vehicles, can be used to open an ionized channel in the air which will conduct electricity, and can then be followed by a significant current of high voltage electrons.  It's something like artificial directed lighnting.  Instead of generating a high enough voltage difference that the air spontaneously ionizes in a random branching pattern, the laser provides guidance and the plasma, which can be generated more efficiently but is difficult to control, provides the power.  It's potentially more efficient than a laser powerful enough to do serious damage, but it's still a whole lot of power and isn't likely to yield an easily portable weapon any time soon.  The current bomb finder has very limited range, and has to move very slowly in order to scan the area, and is almost as large as a tank.  So, is it practical?   If moving ten miles an hour with a vehicle that sucks down fuel at a tremendous rate is worth the tradeoff of possible hidden bombs, it makes sense, but this only makes sense for limited areas where bomb threats are especially high, and for moving especially high value troops or materials past the point.  Can it be made smaller and more efficient?  Probably, but not by much.  The technology is inherently a high power consumption device.  Lasers are not likely to get much more efficient.  Two-component mixed chemical excimers can be used to at least remove the power generation need for the laser, but then you're limited to the number of shots you can provide, whereas an electrically powered laser can be used with fairly high duty cycle and is much more suitable for the sweeping function of detecting bombs.  But, all the same, the technology does work, and can be made to work in fairly rough environments.  Lasers can be delicate machinery, true, but they've got a good history of use on the battlefield for signal use and can be made sufficiently durable.  Likewise with the electron guns used to produce the plasma.  It's a somewhat complicated device, yes, but not that much different as far as the fudamental technology than that used in plasma cutters which are widely used in industrial metal shops with good uptime.  \n\nThe real question is whether or not the system meets a real military need given the limitations of slow speed and huge power consumption.  Of course, the military has been known to spend huge amounts of money on devices and systems that are complete crap, just because they sounded cool, but if the company is to ever really be successful, they'll have to have something that has a real world usefulness.  It's not clear to me that this device, as clever as it is, really provides that.   This is going to be the real question, and the

Yes...It is called SPIE.  The army/Marines Spec Ops teams use it to rapidly remove 5 person teams from a hot area.  Also used to remove troops from a ship in certain instances.

thats an army cadence, lol \nno, i dunno but it really is an army cadence a bit of it anyways

most of the driving is done by locals in "jingle trucks" the rest the military covers. So either join the service or talk to the Kuwaitis people. There is also a company that does like everything maybe ask them there called KBR. I am not really sure about that whole civilian driving off base in a combat zone type thing. Most supplies come on planes or choppers anyhow.

I saw the report. Something is fishy. First off why would our military ever let that info out if it were true? Secondly, a diesel sub, and we can't detect it with a carrier group until it surfaces close to that group implying we will get shot out of the water if we try to do anything.  Bullcrap. It sounds like a political ploy in the making. Here's my guess. China has intentions of invading Taiwan, and we are not going to do a darn thing because we owe China too much money. I hope some Navy people post on this question. I want to hear their opinions.
