  1. Pic 54, first set – denver post. What the heck has that grunt (RH of pic) got on stapped on his pack? Is that a weapon or some kind or an optical device?

    1. If I remember correctly, its an SMAW bunker buster. Whats interesting about this launcher is that it fires a 9x51mm tracer bullet (a 9mm bullet which is crimped into a 7.62x51mm case) as a spotting round.

      P.S. For the second picture in the post, I still find a right side feeding 50 cal really strange looking for some reason. It just doesn’t “feel” right
