i did some searching and it seems that the .50 being barred from use against personnel is a well-circulated myth. apparently, the geneva convention usually prohibits types of weapons and modification of approved weapons instead of specific weapons themselves. the most credible source i found was part of a powerpoint presentation from the usmc (a .mil url). i was told the myth by fellow nco's back when i was in from '95 to '00. just goes to show, don't believe everything you hear, right?

it's in the geneva convention matto... did they teach you that the barrett was a machine gun as i stated in my original post? what sniper school did you go to? the one i went to had bolt action rifles.

yeah, or like the retard defense: "it depends on what the definition of "is" is. "Don't talk to me like that assface...I don't work for you yet." - Fletch NBFT, Deseoso Rodriguez RB#1329

WP injures due to its high temperature, not due to a chemical reaction. technically, burns are a chemical reaction but, i don't think that burns are considered a chemical reaction in this context.

it's also illegal to shoot people with a .50 caliber machine gun. it's only for light vehicles. anyway, white phosphorus is not a chemical weapon by current definitions. it is used because phosphorus oxidizes in air so violently that the temperatures reached in the reaction are high enough to destroy sensitive equipment and the like. if you consider white phosphorus to be a chemical weapon, then bullets are a chemical weapon too as they are comprised of atoms.

yes! let us remember...it's all bush's fault. if you do not believe that it's all bush's fault (or somebody that is his "friend") then...you must be a non-believer!! can i get an amen believers!! to hell with the bushies!! they are the root of all the evil in our respective worlds!! where is alec baldwin and tim robbins when we need them!! durka durka!!

Bwhahahaha! OR, two ignorant criminals decide to hide in an electrical substation from the police and due to their ignorance, complete a circuit and become good criminals. "Don't talk to me like that assface...I don't work for you yet." - Fletch NBFT, Deseoso Rodriguez RB#1329

neither...they both had a shot and they both revealed themselves to be mostly politicians instead of mostly leaders. although, it's extremely hard to be a leader when the population is only interested in 'yes-men" instead of wise leadership (ie. what's best for the country, not the individual).

1) keep an eye on the horizon/ground; 2) jump with someone who is better than you because that person will tell you in freefall if you're orbiting and that person will be able to tell you if your body position is wierd. that being said, andrea has a good point in that if your profile is correct, you should be learning how to fly a sit. the reason is that it gives you a stable freefly position to learn other things safely, such as flying hd. the potential exists for you to collide with and seriously hurt yourself and someone else from a botched head down attempt whereas, in a sit, you can't achieve the same horizontal velocities.

those are inches of mercury. "normal" is 29.92 inches of mercury. that is how high the atmosphere can hold a column of mercury in a vacuum tube. "Don't talk to me like that assface...I don't work for you yet." - Fletch NBFT, Deseoso Rodriguez RB#1329

i think she meant that the president has an OBLIGATION to help AMERICANS, not the rest of the world. if we can, great; if not, maybe next year. of course, there's always the vast book full of private charities that americans donate to.

i spent five years in the army and i recently paid for school out of my own pocket for the first time...five years later and into my masters degree. sure, i did a bunch of stuff that sucked while i was in but, looking back, it was worth it and i learned more than i thought i did. edit: i didn't get any iTunes though...
