M110 Semi-Automatic Sniper Rifle

I just watched a video about the M110 Sniper Rifle (see video below).  This thing is pretty amazing!  Now, it's not .50 but that doesn't bother me.  800 - 1000 meters is some decent range.  The most popular .50 that I can think of is the Barrett M82 or M107.  That has a range of around 1800 meters.

But the M110 has some tricks.  It is around 15 pounds (versus the Barretts almost 30), can support a silencer, and has some trick optics.

It's also magazine fed but so is the Barrett.  Look,  I don't really want to compare them though, I want to compare the M110 to other snipers out there.  The magazine makes  a big difference.  More time pulling the trigger than reloading is the main thing.  Also, keeping your eyes on the prize is a bonus.

I think I would choose this over many rifles just because of it's accuracy and stealth.  15 pounds and silenced?  If you get discovered you can make a run for it and not be too weighed down.  But as long as you hole up in a good spot you should be fine.

Not that this really belongs here...

I love this game!

Recon Podcast

I just found a great new podcast.  The episodes are about 25 minutes long each and cover everything from Coast Guards to remembering Vietnam and all in between.

Actually, I'm watching the episode: "The Toughest Day."  It's about the training that soldiers go through to really get ready for the real deal.  It's amazing!

This podcast is well produced with good cinematography and editing and the story is very clearly written.  Really, this has high production value and a great alternative to those of you without cable!  

Recon is the perfect length and feels like a full tv show/documentary.  Check it out and tell me what you think.

Office War

Some day, I want to work at an office where we can have a full Nerf sponsored office war. How freakin cool would that be!

If anyone is hiring at a workplace that has office wars every Friday let me know because I'm interested in a position. Any position.

My weapon of choice? The N-Strike Recon CS-6. I think that's all I need to say.

Humvee Driving in Iraqi Traffic

I just think its funny how some people understand to move out of the way, while most need a slight nudge.
