I loved the show. Pretty good stuff. I didn't catch what weapon he had in the scabbard. Anyone know?

Whaaaa? He doesn't have a Jeff Cooper Scout rifle in that scabbard? 
That could very well be the rifle. I saw one, but didn't get a close look. I need to start keeping VCR tapes handy to tape great shows like that.

I'm 99% sure it's a Garand. His "command post" and jeep are all WWII vintage so it would be the correct weapon for that period.

I have his action figure, it's "R" rated. It's is so funny I couldn't stop laughing and pressing the button to keep him yelling. One of his lines is from FMJ where he says to Joker "let me hear your war cry" and then the figure say "that's not a war cry, this is a war cry, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH".

I like "mail call", but it's on opposite "monster garage". And My VCR won't tape, so I watch about 80% "monster garage" and 20% "mail call" Jesse James rocks!

I'd bet the rent he is a supporter of RKBA!
Did you ever meet a Marine who did not love his rifle?
The show is in a word OUTSTANDING!

R Lee Ermey needs to go do an episode of Monster Garage.
Jesse James and R Lee would make one hell of a vehicle modification.
I love both shows.

Mail Call rocks. One segment he was blasting watermelons with a Browning Machine Gun (can't recall if it was a 1917 or a 1919). He said "Go get some more melons, I wanna finish off this belt!"
Kick @$$.

I love Ermey!
He and Clint Eastwood should make a movie that's a cross between FMJ and Heartbreak Ridge.
He was a riot in Saving Silverman, too.

I don't know if this is true or not but I heard that he was hired to train an actor to be a DI in Full Metal Jacket,and the studio liked him so much they fired the actor and used him. Anyone else hear this?

R. Lee was a tech consultant and the actor they got to play the part originally wasn't making it.
Do a Google for "Full Metal Jacket" and you'll find lots of fan sites with tons of info.
I saw somewhere that one of the reasons they hired him was that he gave a "motivational speech" that lasted 10 minutes and didn't repeat any "motivational phrases".
May be an urban legend, but seeing R. Lee in action, I'd say it stands a good chance of being true.

Yet another cool thing about him, have you noticed that when he kills a watermelon he often eats what he kills?

Couldn't imagine "Mail Call" w/o Ermey. He's great (...but sometimes, when he gets in his "Gunny" mode, you just want to reach up & pop him in the nose... )

Gimme R. Lee ANY day! HOO-RAH!!!

Airwolf,
When you run that AVI of Ermey shooting the Ma Deuce, do you get video and sound, or just sound?
I get sound and a REALLY funky "sun in center with plasma streaming from both sides" type of image. Pretty cool in its own right, but I'd rather see the M2...

Mike, I got that from another site. It plays fine in Windows Media Player (I'm using 6.4). Video and sound.
What OS and player are you trying to run it on?

Wolf,
Windows Media Player, and Windows 98.
I'm getting an "ambiance" setting, that I just realized that I can change.
I wonder if my player version is out of date and it won't read the video stream...
It's 7.01...

Hmmm... If 6.4 will play it then anything above shoudn't have a problem. There was a Windows update the other day that included an updated codec package for Media Player. Maybe that?
