Re: Toys from Jane's...

I can definitively say that I never...in 8 yrs in the
Marines....had a problem confusing my ammo betweem my
M16 and my M203.

Heh heh heh If you actually saw these weapons and
ammo, you would understand how absurd that entire
concept is.

Mixing up the ammo of a modern assault rifle and a
shotgun is just as absurd.  Heh heh heh, folks, if
only for the diffence in size, there is no way to put
a shotgun shell into an assault rifle and vice versa.

Heh heh heh heh, I really get a kick out of wargamers
that have never had any military experience, much less
combat experience, they're so playfully ignorant of
how to actually fight a war. (Granted, this is a good
thing, the fewer of us required to fight, the more
there is to do productive things....like researching
an FTL drive!!!  You non-combatants ARE researching
that right? Heh heh heh)
