    Kinda stupid really.  I love, respect and support our Service Men & Women but what makes them any more suited than the next guy?  Most don't carry/use handguns at all.  Not trying to take away from them in any way but a Jet engine mechanic, a surgeon and a cook [all vital roles] aren't exactly Tom Clancy novel material.  

     

    I guess what I'm saying, if they're doing it as a way of saying "Thank you for your service" then I am 100% all for it.  If their reasoning is that they are somehow MORE qualified, I don't agree.  

    All of my Surgeons and Doctors must qualify twice a year on a handgun. This includes the cooks on their assigned weapon. To include all personnel assigned to a medical unit. This does not happen in the civilian populace outside of law enforcement.

  2. I was in the military for 26 years. Nearly every day was like that.animlol.gif


    I have close to 40 and experience it every day. It's the accepted norm that I still find amazing.

  3. I also held one at academy. I was looking for a threaded version. It felt very heavy in the hand and not balance. I have a model 41 with a 7" barrel and it does not feel quite as heavy as this pistol.
    I'm going to have to wait till I shoot one.
  4. The fifth picture is a German Paratrooper helmet from the Nazi era. Some of the first pictures remind me of the helmet Dutch soldiers and The French wore patterned after our own. Before Kevlar.
    The last one looks to be a Dutch hement from the 50's..

    EBay is a good place to look at the pictures to help narrow it down. I use it often for research in to many thing to get me on the right track.

    I hope others can chime in.
  5. That is true the FAL is a fine rifle with a long history as issued. DSA makes a very nice semi version. Lot of good AR10 type out there also.

    If the OP has a nice FAL I would keep it they are hard to find.
