Jegs2 sent me this:

Pretty cool pictures.

EDIT: Note that it's a Powerpoint slideshow. You'll need Powerpoint to view it, although I believe Micro$oft has a free viewer, and I know for a fact that the freeware office suit OpenOffice can import it (because that's how I viewed it). When I get time, I might break it out into individual images.

ACK! Slide 6! They're breaking AKs with a sledgehammer! Oh the pain! Make it stop!

On a more serious note, I find the last picture to have a quite tasteless caption.

I think it's pretty tastless as well. A little consideration and it's some what less offensive but still tasteless.

Interesting slide show though.

Noooooooooo
(Although it hurts more when they demolish T-54s. Most Iraqi AKs will survive this war anyway in the hands of civilians, but a tank isn't something you normally hide in your house. The tanks are all wrecks now

I doubt a mere sledgehammer would have any effect on the thing....

Seen that cool marketing video where there's a bunch of seamless transitions of this one AK-74M getting utterly punished, but still being fired? It's both dropped off a building and run over by a car

Great pics, I like the one with Saddam and Hammurabi (or whatever ancient Sumerian/Babylonian/whatever that is).

Seen it, in tests they ran an M16 over with an M60 tank and it still worked.

Course, who doesn't love the L85? In one training exercise a solider dropped it from a landing helicopter accidentally and the thing emptied the magazine on full auto.

The pic of the F/A-18 taking off (at least I think it was a Hornet) was beautiful. And the one right after with the rocket launcher in mid-fire was just fucking cool.
