I've read several posts here and on other forums about those scum of humanity, those useless grubs that claim to be ex-military spec-ops...
I was wondering how many here have outed one of these idiots due to their total lack of firearms knowledge. Please share...
My personal favorite was when a guy tried to convince me and some friends he was a Marine sniper in Iraq and how he had killed two Iraqi's with one shot.
Get this: He said they were leaning in close to light cigarettes off the same lighter, so he put a round from his specially-made .50 BMG sniper rifle right "between" these two guy's faces and how the bullet actually ripped their faces off as it whizzed by them... He actually aimed to miss.
When I laughed and said: "Yeah, pull my other leg and it plays jingle bells"
he actually launched into an incoherent dissertation on how it was ballistically possible to near miss a target and yet still cause damage from the "Sonic concussion". When I finished telling him about the guy who had a 105mm howitzer shell pass between his legs with no "sonic concussion" damage that was worse than bruising, he stated that that was different, I sighed and then a man with a WW2 veteran hat on stepped up behind the guy and said to me and my friends:
"Boys, you better save yer watches 'cause the poop done already filled yer boots."
We laughed and the "sniper" escaped and evaded...
