I've always wondered how the 10mm compares to the other rounds.
10mm looks a lot like 40 S&W.
I don't have an 9mm guns at home, but 9mm is just a bit smaller than the 40 S&W.

All hell breaks loose almost instantly! How do you guys do it?
I notice all the on-line walk-throughs stop at Mission 09.

I had these laying around the house, so I thought I might put them together as a visual reference:

While most modern AR-15 weapons are actually chambered for the 5.56mm round, and thus capable of using either cartridge, the two should not be confused.
I'll be a smart-ass too: there is essentially no practical difference between the two. Almost all sporting rifles (which include most AR variants) chambered for one are safe to shoot the other. If you walk into a gun store or gun show to buy .223, don't be surprised if they hand you some 5.56 NATO. It's basically the same stuff.

So today I fired up Winamp and made a playlist by adding the following directories:
C:\Program Files\Red Storm Entertainment\Ghost Recon\Mods\Origmiss\Sound\F_Voice_1
C:\Program Files\Red Storm Entertainment\Ghost Recon\Mods\Origmiss\Sound\M_Voice_1
C:\Program Files\Red Storm Entertainment\Ghost Recon\Mods\Origmiss\Sound\M_Voice_2
C:\Program Files\Red Storm Entertainment\Ghost Recon\Mods\Origmiss\Sound\Russian_Voice
Then I set it on shuffle and let 'er rip.
My god, after a few minutes tears were running down my cheeks.

During the last day I have been experiencing program crashes when running a quick mission with Paper Angle (I think that's what it's called; the one with the bridge to be blown).
What happens is I have been sending my team down to the bridge, in violation of the briefing officer's recomendation, to wipe out the defenders and their armor, which then makes it easy to plant the demolition charges without being bothered. Twice the program crashed the moment I planted the first charge.
So I decided to reboot the computer and see if there's just a memory leak somewhere (I am running XP Professional). Today I ran the scenario again, and was able to plant both charges just fine. However, about threee seconds after planting the second charge I got another program crash.
Anyone seen this before?

Another way to edit skills is to edit the .atr-file. Each soldier has one (in the actor/rifleman folder).
Whoa. I was just fooling around in there and suddenly realized everything in the game that isn't actually binary is XML.
Way cool.

Basic physics: the bullet will start to fall as soon as it leaves the muzzle. Since it does not have an airfoil, there's nothing to make it rise, except the inclination of the barrel.
There's a classic physics riddle concerning this: in an ideal world (vacuum, no curvature of the earth), if you fire a gun and drop a bullet on the ground at the exact moment the fired bullet leaves the muzzle, which will hit the ground first? Answer: they both hit the ground at the same time.
Bullets appear to rise because the barrel is inclined upward to hit a distant target. Think of the trajectory of artillery, only more compressed.
"Point blank" refers to a distance from target such that the barrel does not have to be inclined upward to hit it. According to Galileo and Newton, there's really no such thing as "point blank," except at the muzzle. But for practical purposes "point blank" will vary depending on the weapon and ballistic characteristics.
This notion of rising bullets is one of the more common myths about shooting, the other most widespread one being that bullets (especially the 5.56 NATO) are designed to tumble in flight.
