Wow that's nuts! I knew a guy in 3/5 that had an rpg ricochet off his head while in the turret, had the smashed in kevlar helmet to prove it

While I've seen many odd things like guys getting saved by thier magazine pouch or bullet strikes to thier camelbacks, a RPG to the head will be lethal. They don't fly all slow where you see them coming, they hit before you see them and the piezoelectric firing initiator is so sensitive they have a very high detonation rate. I have responded to a UXO call where hadji decided to not arm the warhead and lawn darted the RPG into the side of a MTVR (a big truck). This would easily still kill a soft target. I don't doubt that a kevlar would get smashed, as Marines can and usually do break anything they get. Now if he is like many others he got turtle-fuked by the turret hatch and it cracked /smashed the sh!t out of his brain-bucket.

I think an apology would be in order right about now

Damn, I hate to admit it. Bad Huff That would be some crazy shaZam!. Definitely one lucky ass devil-dog. That now makes me wonder, was said RPG disfunctional? Or did it hit another object before knocking out the LCpl? I guess it really doesn't matter, He's as normal as a Marine can be.

Yeah I'm not sure about if it was dysfunctional or not. Speaking of some crazy stuff I found this to be an interesting read. http://www.cracked.com/article_17019_5-real-life-soldiers-who-make-rambo-look-like-kitty cat.html

The Bull? He's back to kicking me in the hand.

After a SECOND trip to Taurus, he was repaired completely.

 Looking to go to a gun show in a few weeks and see what the selection is like for M44s. After having both a 91/30 and M38/M44 in my hands, I love the way the M44 feels and would much rather have one. The only gun I own currently is an old Glenfield Model 60, which is a semi-auto .22LR that I barely shoot. I've been wanting to get more guns, but money is an issue and that's why I'm going to start with cheap stuff like the Mosins and then maybe move up to more expensive and modern guns.

Look around for old K31's, they are a swiss made straight-pull bolt action rifle. They might say Schmidt and Rubin Mfg on the tag due to the designers. If you find one in .308 it's a buy every time, but they are originally 7.5x55 swiss. They can be had dirt cheap and are by far the best inexpensive surplus shooter I've seen. It's really quite incredible the quality of these old swiss issued rifle for  the money.

Those are great man. Keep it. It's now become what's known as the Marlin Model 60 if I understand correctly.

That's correct. I rescued an abused Marlin Mod. 60 from a local pawn shop and rebuilt it for my girlfriend's birthday this past year. We'll be taking it out to hunt rabbits after the first frost.

[IAmSpartacus]

I may or may not have guns... With the current political agendas, I'm not sure if I'd post such information online, lol.

But if I did own guns, they might be a Marlin semi auto .22, a modified Mosin Nagant, a Mossberg pump 12ga and a IWI Baby Eagle in 9mm. But you know, that's just hypothetically speaking...

.22 KMK-10 Ruger MK II (10" version)

Blued or stainless? I had a blued one with the 10" bull barrel and silhouette sights that I picked up for $250 about four years ago. Even had the original box. I was young and dumb though, and traded it away for my then girlfriend's (now ex) birthday present. One of the stupidest things I've done.

looked it up online... not bad for a new tech thing i guess... but 16 shots?... the new owner that bad an aimer? ... and with a 'guage' too ... if you don't hit anything then whatever will die from lead poisoning in the immediate surround anyway!!

i guess theres no practical need for 16rds in a shotty. but from the videos ive seen its not that bad accuracy wise. granted shotties were NEVER known for accuracy lol

[Janx101]

Not saying I don't WANT one!! ... Be great for getting those pesky mices and roaches outta the garden shed....... And removing the garden shed same time
