Dola, and that gun fits in his arm like my 1980s GI Joe toys' guns fit in their arms: not too well.

Those gloves make the gun look puny.

Those look larger than 7.62mm, which the M-60 took and that was a crew-served weapon. They look smaller than .50 cal, which is good for that guy.

It certainly has a "fish eye" quality to it.

Looks like an H&K 5.56NATO carbine with folding stock and optical sight (red dot? laser? scope?) and either a dual-mag setup (for easy mag switching) or a 100+ round box magazine on it. I mean, there's no underbarrel GL or shutgun, there's no big fancy nightsight, or any other really fancy stuff. That gun's nothing. Not that I wouldn't mind owning one, though...

This thread title is begging for a more perverted photo, but I'm not going to risk time in the box for it.

I'm no gun freak but I have a friend who works for Qinetiq and they do military research. He tells me sometimes about 'current' state of art in weaponary.

Some machine guns have a computer inside that controls the application of lubricant to keep the friction down. That is high tech...

Agreed. And anyone who tries to infringe on my right to attach one of those to my Buick has a fight on their hands!
