  1. They targeted one Samir Kuntar (or Qantar), a "moderate anti-imperialist secularist" who lead the 1979 Nahariya attack, where he smashed open a 4 year old girl's head with a rifle butt before being captured. Since his release in 2008 in a prisoner swap deal, he's been involved in further terrorist attacks against Israel and apparently has been running a death squad for the Syrian government. http://web.archive.org/web/20080724121602/http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/jul/19/lebanon.israelandthepalestinians The "six to eight" other people killed were apparently mainly Hezbollah field commanders.
  2. And then the program inevitably gets canceled when somebody figures out how to make better bullets and that you can just issue ACOG/PSO low-power optics to everybody, instead of developing and fielding rifles that have fancy clockwork mechanisms and/or a goddamn rope inside them.
  3. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-35130953 Read: The flight data is not being released because it wouldn't support the Russian MOD's claims.
  4. The selling point always seems to be either for defeating body armor by striking (near) the same place multiple times and/or trying to make a shotgun as accurate as a rifle so that you can increase "kill probability" by putting more lead in the air so that the target is more likely to be hit or to take a vital hit.
  5. Russia is now preventing airstrikes against ISIS in Northern Syria. http://www.bloombergview.com/articles/2015-12-17/new-russian-air-defenses-in-syria-keep-u-s-grounded
  6. But for something actually smallarms related, here's the lightweight infantry rifle of the future.
  7. Promotional video for the F-16A, featuring the first generation MFD. And for it's potential competitor, the F-20 Tigershark, starring Chuck Yeager. Grumman promotional film for Iranian F-14s. "To her south, the Persian Gulf. These warm waters Russia has coveted since the days of the Tsar." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45XKU12y4lM
  8. 14 ports of the original Wizardry games, and 26 spinoff games, including a MMO. And a direct to VHS movie. Plus all the games that copied things from Wizardry like Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Etrian Odyssey, etc.
  9. Well sometimes a European arms company has to do some deals where they only break even so that they can say "well not ALL of our sales go to the death squads of General Bloodmurder al-Badguy, President-for-Life of Oilistan."
  10. "Ham radio operator invents method to power radios off of his medical issues."
  11. Apparently the Houthis hit a command center with a ballistic missile. 40 to 150 dead according to various sources.
  12. For using a gas-operated rifle in cold conditions, be sure to mix in one part of antifreeze to two parts of rifle gas to prevent seizing and stovepipes.
  13. TOW takes out a ammo dump or something.
  14. Quite a reversal from the previous "FSA doesn't exist and is actually ISIS" line. http://kremlin.ru/events/president/news/50913 http://www.trust.org/item/20151211123434-14ejy
  15. The big Apogee/3D Realms bundle on Steam is going away at the end of the year due to IP fuckery, but you can currently snag it for $5 on Bundlestars, along with some other games of varying quality. https://www.bundlestars.com/en/bundle/killer-bundle-6
  16. Ralph Peters? So did he flipflop and release a book six months later claiming the USSR would be totally crushed, followed by another one six months after that returning to the original position?
  17. Yeah that's about what I expected. "Russia could never ever ever ever fuck up! It's was a false flag!!" and a story from a Syrian propaganda outlet.
  18. Russians bomb their allies, America blamed as usual. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/syria-accuses-us-bombing-state-forces-army-soldiers-deir-ezzor-airstrikes/
