I have always been fond of the M79 and of course the M1 Garand, det cord is a close third in a tie with thermal grenades.

mortar, machine gun, dragon gun,etc.. all part of a infantry battalion



they are obviously not called "infantrymen , or riflemen", but they are part of the infantry

I just retired from the Army with 20 years. It was fun. I was an 11B, master parachutist on status for 10 years, 2 as an instructor, and 8 as training and operations. A ripped patella tendon and dislocated knee cap took me out of the "Real Army" and i had to finish behind a desk. But I got a lot of memories and stories to tell.



If you go Airborne keep your feet and knees together, don't think you can be a Sky God forever. I had over 200 static line jumps and I still got taken out. I guess my old bones couldn't take it anymore.

thats what u get for jumping out of perfectly good airplanes

yes they are support... and they dont really "fight" being a 1000 meters away from someone u are killing isnt really fighting.
