Yesterday I finished my sharpshooters course, and I passed the test. I'm now qualified as a sharpshooter. My wepaon is now an M-16A2E3 with a Trijicon 4x scope during the day, and an Akila III 4x sarlight scope during the night. Lemme tell you hitting metal targets at 300 meters at night with loads of wind is really, really cool.

Pics to follow shortly

IIRC, goose, a kilo is just a tad over 2 lbs.

Goose,

1 kilo equals 2.2 pounds, to be exact.

Ok, I just made myself worried. I saw those weapons, and the first thing I thought was "sexy".

Help.....please!

Thanks guys so the Kilo is just based on the metric system table like
2.2 cm is an 1" etc....


But those weapons are JUST TOO DAMN COOL! I'll ask myself for one for Christmas

It's not a problem that you think it's sexy. It's a gun, after all...
