Milla Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 It's called Project Constellation, the new rocket's are called Ares I and Ares V. It's based on the Apollo program along with the STS(Space Shuttle) program. It's crew quarters can be re-used up to 10 times, they'll use it as a ferry to the ISS and to go to the moon by 2020 and hopefully Mars. http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/explorat...main/index.html <{POST_SNAPBACK}> lol wtf Link to post Share on other sites
SA-Sadi Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 I'm indifferent towards H&K other than the fact that they don't think I should own guns. My money is on the Barrett M468. Mr. Barrett is a true American hero. Link to post Share on other sites
Jagdraben Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 An overly-expensive rifle firing a ballistically inferior round? Wait until they come up with something firing 6.5mm MPC or 6.5mm Grendal. Link to post Share on other sites
boosterboy Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 An overly-expensive rifle firing a ballistically inferior round? Wait until they come up with something firing 6.5mm MPC or 6.5mm Grendal. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I smell a 77 grain 5.56 vs 6.8 SPC vs 6.5 Grendel argument about to erupt. I'm a 77 grain 5.56 fan myself cause. I was gonna buy a 6.8 upper for my other build but 6.8 Ammo is scarce. Link to post Share on other sites
trfo2o Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 (edited) 6.5 is made for long range shooting, but was tested for CQB and the balistics were really good. The 6.8 SPC has better balistics closer ranges but long to intermediate ranges it can't even compare to a 6.5 round. Just look at the most recent tests done between 6.5 grendal/MPC, 6.8 SPC, 5.56mm in tactical magazines such as S.W.A.T, Special Weapons, and surfire's new COMBAT TACTICS. All of these have the latest updates and reviews on ammunition, small arms, vehicles, optics, suppressors, etc. Edited July 8, 2006 by trfo2o Link to post Share on other sites

able95 Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 It looks like the Mich markings are for the 187th 3rd BCT 101st. The guy with the HK is probably an "Airforce Joint Tactical Air Controller" Hence no ACH markings and Non standard gear. Let alone just a plate carrier. Link to post Share on other sites

If he is CCT, he would probably put on the Flag to blend in, but it looks like he may have his own countries flag. Edited July 27, 2006 by Nodbugger Link to post Share on other sites

You can clearly see the Velcro on the side, the flag patches are the only patches that are supposed to go on that piece of Velcro. Meaning he either crappily put it on, which is doubtful the guys around him are wearing the flag, and you can clearly see no Velcro. Plus they make a special color patch that fits in with the ACU. Which I assume is what you are talking about, and that definitely isn't it. ACU patch, the one that is sold as foliage green. That isn't even the color of the subdued patches. That is a bright green patch. I have narrowed it down to a crappy subdued patch, a non American patch, or something else. definitely isn't the foliage green, definitely isn't the regular American flag. Either way he obviously isn't a regular guy and he isn't normally with these guys. Link to post Share on other sites

Unless they want to stick out like sore thumbs. Countries do it all the time. They send soldiers to other countries to train with foreign militaries. To think some country didn't ask to have a few soldier deployed to Ira is insane. Did you there are Canadians soldiers in Iraq? Canada said they won't send troops to Iraq, but they are there along side American troops. Along with many other countries. It is completely possible he is not an America.

If it's 'just' for training, then you'd wear your native camo and they'd wear theirs. That's why the JSDF wear their Fleckie when in the US, Marines wear MARPAT when in Japan, Brits wear DPM in Canada, and Germans their Fleckie in Canada and the US. Link to post Share on other sites

I have seen Foreign soldier's (non NATO) in the US wearing our uniforms. There name is the same but the branch tag usually states what country they are from. Along with Rank on the left pocket for easy identification for us. Not all countries do this. In combat you represent your country not, the country your visiting. I could be possible the US Military style of uniform is that countries uniform also. Link to post Share on other sites
LoneWolf Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 My vote is that the guy is a USAFSOC CCT embedded with the 101'st.
