Hatchetforce Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Mk19 mounted on an SF Humvee. It fires allot faster than most realize. Here is a shot of a .50 cal and a set of Mk25 stabilized binos. Binos are shakey on distant targets. With these, you sight in and squeeze a pad on top and the image locks. You still view movement in real time, but the images are absolutely steady.

WhiteKnight77 Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Yes, Hatchetforce is a real live Ghost and is GR.net's very own military and SF consultant. He is showing pics (declassified of course) of his stints in the sandboxes. Is that a starlight scope on top of that M2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchetforce Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 No starlight. That is an AN/PAS13 Heavy. A thermal scope. In the desert, NVGs are okay, but the thermal is king. Rather than trying to hide our vehicles in a wadi like this: We would just put our 4 vehicles in a outward facing box - each vehicle on a cardinal direction - in a flat area on a rise with a view for 6-7 klicks. The thermal sees in black and white, not hollywood Predator color. You can choose either white hot or black hot and anything coming for miles you will see. Also visible in that shot with the .50 is an M240B and an AT4 mounted on the rear door. We were also packing Javelins to deal with bigger targets and structures. Here is one on the rear left of one of our 4 patrol Hummers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted May 6, 2004 Author Share Posted May 6, 2004 wow, a sand hill with an antenna!! That was just my typing - it's what happens when the 0 and 9 key are side by side. 240B. Mongrels, they do that to me often!! And sart, poms with rocket launcher is awsome. When you see it in a still, you wonder how the dude on the side with the headset can be so casual about it! Uhoh, Gurkas, some one gunna get hurt!! @Hatchet Force: Looks to me like you guys carried alot more firepower on those hummers than aussies did in the Perenties! You got that big f'off machine gun, the other one under it (im not good with gun names), with rocket launchers whacked on any spare piece of panelling! Aussies apeared to have a ring mounted machine gun behind the drivers, and maybe another LMG at the rear, plus what the guys could carry, what is your take on this??? Look how casual the driver is!! One hand on the wheel, the other close to his crotch, looks like how i drive to school! What speed did you guys do when you just cruise along the sealed roads like that? And are those cars auto or manual or somewhere in between (or is all of that tell you have to kill you info??) EDIOT: that car isnt moving is it? damn im a tool!

supasniper Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 don't know about the Aussies but the UK SAS use a modified (more fuel tanks etc) 4x4 landie and have one of m2hb, mk19 or a milan mounted on the back and a gimpy fixed infront of the commander's seat (front passanger) and in '91 they had stingers, law's etc where ever they could fit them hatchet, is the supply truck a Unimog?

Biro Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 This is pretty cool I think...I did it myself when I was in the army and it's a bit scary when you are driving the tank into the river, and suddely you can't see anything and the water starts dripping down from the hatch...
