Subject: A modest proposal...

Written By: Emergency_Cube on 04/03/03 at 04:00 p.m.

So I was just reading about urban warfare, and how that is where the coalition would lose a bulk of their troops.  

Anyway...long story short, I think we should let inner city gang members do the fighting in the cities 8)  They obviously know what's up, and I'm sure at least some of them love their country enough to loot and pillage Baghdad to save it :D  They already have the training and the 'tude to bust a cap into any Iraqi that tries to "step"...so why not?

:D

Joke disclaimer.  But hey, it might work.

They have to remember that firing that hand gun sideways only works in Bruce Willis movies. ::)

Far be it for me to ruin a happy marriage ;) :-*

I guess aiming is sorta hindered when you fire a semi-auto sideways, eh?  Or is it because of the machinery in the gun?

Yeah, its aiming and controlthat is effected, especially if your going to be firing "bursts" of rounds.  Those bullets are going to be travelling everywhere except for the target.  Also I would think that putting your eye in line with the ejection is kinda silly too.

I thought of that.  I think you should fire the weapon normally with your left hand, but because the gun ejects the cartridge behind and to the right, maybe the left hand gun should be sideways ;)  Dunno though :P

But they have M-16 automatic rifles, so there's no need to worry about shooting sideways 8)

Personally, I like those tec-9 DCs that shoot, like, 36 rounds a sec :D

Hey, and nobody knows how to pack heat like the inner-city gang members.  Yo.  ::)


From the gangsta words of rapper "50 Cent":

"When they window roll down and that A.K. come out
You can squeeze ya lil handgun until you run out
And you can run for ya back-up
But them machine gun shells gone tear ya back up"

You should listen to NON's "Disneyland Can Wait." I love the part where Boyd Rice talks about handing out "banana clips" to create mayhem 8) "Banana clips." That's a funny name :) :D ;D

Another thought is that they can bring their own guns, which would save us some money ;D

Yeah, urban gangs would be great - in Basra, Bagdad etc.  But if you want to get those turkeys out on the stick, you need the good old fasioned "Ethan Allan Boys".  They can hit the hidden eye of a squirel at 100 yards without even aiming - even with a bow and arrow. ;D

Hey, if you want the "Gangstas" to work for you you have to offer them something, like all the street corners in Bagdad. ;)
