I'm not sure, nor am I qualified to comment. It's irrelevant as far as the 5.56 is concerned. The 5.56 is a proven round, and hydrostatic shock doesn't really figure into that.Originally posted by Ecthy View PostJohn Brown did nothing wrong.Comment

They'll use their Italian from school or their Spanish from home and everyone will just think they're from some weird province. Which wouldn't be too far from the truth either way.Originally posted by gribbler View PostComment

No, the assumption is that spanish speaking persons are close enough to quickly learn it. The priest that you could assume had some latin commits suicide (read the damn linksOriginally posted by gribbler View Post
