    I find it hard to believe I would have made such an error. Are you sure I wasn't speaking of the M16A2's predecessor? If I did say "7.62" in reference to an "M16A2", I was in error. I doubt it, however, since rifle specifications are a part of "daily prac" in Boot Camp. The whole "...lightweight, air-cooled, gas-operated, magazine-fed, shoulder-fired weapon capable of 3-round bursts or semiautomatic fire..." type phrases of knowledge were daily requirements. Distances of area and point targets, maximum effective range...all statistics which were eaten, slept on, and shat.

    For me to make an error in this regard, would have taken a severe account of sleep deprevation (which is plausible considering during my time in the Corps I had conditioned myself for 1-2 hours of sleep per night) or simply, your statement of my proposed statement is in error, itself.

    I prefer 12-gauge ... close range.

    I'll take the Ruger .480

    my preferance goes to the G36K in terms of assault rifles.
    M82A1 for Long range.
    Nothing beats a Desert Eagle .50 for a sidearm (although its .357 counterpart is equally as good, that extra punch is a plus)
    and nothing beats the M136 for those...difficult situations :P

    (hell im not even in the army)

    Ive allways considerd becoming a cop. although im not built for it, it certianely interests me.
    the army doesnt suit me i guess. but then again my military options in canada are rather lacking.
    Up here they give recruits the C class rifles to use...id just as quickly give it back to the person handing it to me.

    I own a Rifle myself. I target shoot on weekends when i can at a range up north (yes farther north), complete with FAC and the like.
    And to that end im a pretty good shot if i do say so myself.

    you? :P

    I dont hunt, its kinda pointless. Im not one to get my hands dirty anyhow.
    I dont base peoples ability top shoot a gun on where there from man. mainly because i outshoot people who grew up with BB guns. and im a city boy, if you like to use stupid generalizations.
    :P

    A sniper rifle in paintball would require some serious CO2 pressure and a long ass barrel, because paintballs don't always go straight

    "You ever played Paintball Wraith?"

    - You're talking to a guy who has a Kingman Spyder TL+, Kingman Spyder Shutter, Glenn Palmer Customized Blazer, AutoCocker 2K and an off-brand Horner pump.
    - You're talking to the guy who has more money tied up in fancy schmancy air systems and suppliment equipment than he knows what to do with.
    - You're talking to a guy who even buys those fluff "Gun condoms", just because.
    - You're talking to a guy who has every type of imaginable barrell...but really loves the ceramic or close 2nd, titanium.
    - You're talking to a guy who, on the average, spends around 2 night a week out on the field.
    - You're talking to a guy who purchased a $290.00 eDot laser sight, just because it looked cool on the gun.
    - You're talking to a guy who customized his Blazer to include several modifications to his 4-stage neumonics.
    - You're talking to a guy who takes a ALICE pack to the field with him, and yes, MREs, too.
    - You're talking to a guy who him and his buddies wire up wireless headset radios to communicate with the squade.
    - You're talking to a guy who is really the only one who will low crawl through 12" deep mud puddles when he plays.
    - You're talking to a guy who put off a mortgage for a year 1/2 because he had to buy around $3,000.00 in upgrade components.
    - You're talking to a guy who camos up when playing in the field.
    - You're talking to a guy plays drunken paintball, with no masks - because drunks think masks are for wussies.
    - You're talking to a guy who has his own cronnie.


    Play paintball? Eh...I dabble...

    - Apparently, you've never seen Rance's paintball setup.
