A Formal Apology...

Re: A Formal Apology...

LOL But I know that most people on this board would act very similar to those humans on the pics when handed a weapon.
Most people here - even the ones in the top 1000 BF2 stats would probably not even be able to disassemble one of those AKs.

Had a good laugh, kind of feel sorry for those people though. They have civil war, no training, no education, and no future...

Re: A Formal Apology...

actually any fool can disassenble a AK its one of the reasons its such a sucessful weapon.

Re: A Formal Apology...

This is mildly humorous, but you have to understand that these people are people not soldiers. They're not some super duper lethally trained army, they're just fighting the only way they know how and I seriously doubt anyone would want to be in the middle of this battle. I can assure you 100% that if a civil war ever broke out in the US again, there would be plenty of fools running around thinking Arnold Schwarzenegger and Tupac tought them everything they need to know about war and guns. We're no different from liberia.

Great post, although I would go so far as finding this not very humorous at all (possibly only the life-jacket got a second look and a slight smile). Laughing at the misfortune of other people and their country's strife shouldn't be condoned or promoted, particularly when the majority of posters here have experienced neither first hand and instead are sitting in the comfort of their own home. Bring a civil war to your own country and I doubt you'd find the same behaviour so humorous and like this other poster astutely pointed out, a civil war in any country would see the same behaviour. For the Americans among us, do you not remember the shocking scenes of armed looters when New Orleans was flooded this year?

These sort of posts do nothing for the greater good. Instead they fuel the fires of stereotyping, racism and prejudice. Remember this is a forum viewed by all, the young and impressionable included.

Well, I can't speak for the rest of the boards, but that's sure not true about me. I do my own cleaning, maintanance, and most gunsmithing work for my own firearms to include the following operating systems: Browning Pistol (1911, etc.), AR-15, AR-15 pistol caliber carbines (OA op sys), Winchester model 70, Remington 700, Ruger 10/22 and MK II, Mossberg semi-autos, HK USPs, HK P7m8, HK SL8/G36, HK G3/MP5 roller lock op sys, FAL, and more that escape me at the moment. I also built my own 1911 Commander model out of a beat up parts kit and an 80% complete receiver with nothing more than a dremil and hand tools.

What's more, I have CCDW licenses from two states (with about 30 other states offering reciprocity) and have pistol and rifle training...

And I'm just a US civilian : P

I am very grateful for active and retired US military members we have in the game that help make it more authentic. I can't speak for other countries where gunlaws differ, but I wish more Americans would educate themselves on proper gun handling (read: Safety) and exercise their 2nd Amendment rights (within the law of course).

That said, getting education on firearms from just games and movies is the worst possible thing to do. If you have any real interest in firearms, please seek a qualified instructor.

P.S. as a side note... In New Orleans, cops went door to door disarming law abiding citizens so they couldn't protect themselves from the robbers and rapists, so they never had the option of defending themselves no matter how silly they may have looked.

No wonder it has been going on for years. They have yet to hit and kill anyone.

Those are without question the most idiotic people I have ever seen. WITHOUT QUESTION. I would be amazed to learn if half of those stances resulted in anythig other than missing and being shot. What a bunch of ****ing dumbasses that don't understand that bullets KILL people. They are either that stupid, or so flamboyant and arogant they belive themselves invunerable to bullets... good god... I weep for humanity...

Re: A Formal Apology...

To anybody who has said how stupid these people all are, how these poor peasents lack proper military training, to you I am appalled at your stupidity.

Well no **** that these guys can't shoot! THEY'RE NOT SOLDIERS!!!!:wall:

These people are fighting the best way they know how, spray and pray. The same way gangs in America fight, am I wrong here?

These people are also fighting for their country, for their famlies, for their freedom, and for you plump little kids to critique their fighting style is so besides the point.

You all pretend to be learned in the areas of war and battle, while in fact NONE of you(apart from actual veterans) know anything about actual fighting. Shame real fighting isn't like these games we play, you guys would all be top-notch soldiers.

Jesus, even they were bunny hopping at 37 secs on the video, I guess it really does work...LOL funniest part is at 1:04 in the video when they're driving the pickup in reverse with a PKM in the back.

You OBVIOUSLY know very little about warfare, and possibly guns in general.

Anyone with any common sense can realize that in order to hit a target with any degree of accuracy, you need to use a weapon's sights, especially if you are new to the whole 'weapons' scene. Also, if you have a smidgen of brains, you will realize that you need a comfortable and mobile fighting stance in which you can easily aim,fire and hit a target, or turn and run for cover easily.

You do NOT need extensive military training to figure this out, just a tiny bit of common sense and value of your own life.

Especially for gangs, which fight relatively frequently, for them to not figure out any tactics is very suprising. It is amazing that such frequent fighters have such a sloppy, ineffective fighting style. There is no excuse, they have experience.

These buffoons are just that: Buffoons. They have no concept of warfare other than it involves guns and people dying. Any gang that fights like this is at the very best incredibly ineffective at hitting the desired target, and at the worst, injuring large numbers of civillians, showing that they don't give a **** about anyone but themselves.

Critiquing them is not 'beside the point', it is the MAIN point of this discussion.

What arrogant, idiotic assholes these guys are...
