Country: | I have a scar on my elbow from a 30.06 that grazed me. If it had been bigger, it would have removed a chunk of my arm, maybe even the arm below the elbow. Hurt? Yep, like a som'bitch, but it was just a superficial wound. Butterfly taped in the field and right back to the shooting. Can you believe they wanted to give me a PH for that?!
Here is a shot of the scar, now 20 years old and blending in nicely. Not bad for a self butterfly tape in less than ideal conditions!

Country: | Thanks, Les. I get to show off the enemy's marksmanship with tha scar! Now that I think about it, maybe it was a lack of marksmanship, he didn't take me out of the fight, or even down.

Country: | Not me, that was after I did my time. I was in 84-88. I got into smaller skirmishes with the exception of April 15-16, 1986. I will let you look that one up. I will give you one hint, it was called operation El Dorado Canyon. Because of that, I am one of the few USAF vets that actually were awarded the Navy Meritorious Unit Citation.

Country:  | The M468 rifle is just an M-16 with a wider barrel, Stoner had already developed a 7.62mm M-16 a while back, its gonna be a ripoff I hope the U.S army is smart and goes with the XM-8.
