I think people are missing the big picture. The goal should be non lethal munitions, that still have stopping power.

In my opinion it's the only way the US will win this war. Imagine the intelligence that could have been gathered from Zarqawi if they had captured him alive? Imagine if the innocent victims of Haditha had not been killed, but simply temporarily disabled.

It changes everything.

I think .50 cal should be ok as long as its only used on US troops.

oh you poor thing. How clever. So it's ok when people are spouting off how efficiently it kills Iraqis, but talk about it killing US troops it's off limits. How typical. The troops deserve every IED they get.

American "authorities", especially in California, want to ban 50 cal weapons because their behavior is such that they know they should get whacked, and 50 calibre weapons defeat all body armor.
i live in cali and some people out here are cra-z and want to ban all weapons... soon we will be as bad as england (where they are trying to ban steak-knives cuz the losers there got all tha guns banned and are bored)

Yes, but your quite obviously a fuckwit who doesn't understand anything about the banning of knives in the UK

its already against the geneva convention to use 12.7 mm ammo too target troops but that doesn't mean you cant target the truck they are in!! oh and by the way a 7.62x39mm or even a 5.56mm will defeat body armor anything over 2200 fps is lethal to a person wearing body armor even if it doesnt penatrate the armor well you still die your just not blown to shit .your still in one piece your insides are jello but hey the armor worked!!

They will both kill you with one shot. Who cares?! I would rather be killed by a .50cal than anything else.

Go fuck Zarqawi's rotting corpse you fucking sick monster. You should be deported to Iraq, prefferably in Fallujah with an "ALLAH SUCKS AMERICAN COCK" shirt.

If carried and presented "in the open"--i.e. mounted on top of a 5-ton / 7-ton / HMMWV / tank / LAV / etc--using the .50 in retaliation to an engagement started by the opposition is allowed. Why? Because if you are presenting that weapon IN THE CLEAR, the enemy can see it, and is aware that those personnel manning those guns will use those guns to return fire.

In other words:

If you shoot your automatic AK-47 at me, I will shoot my automatic M2 .50 machine gun (or maybe my Mk-19 40mm grenade launcher!) back at you, as this is considered appropriate escalation of force. Don't want to be shot by my .50? Then don't start anything.

because, Ikarti, there is a difference between constructive criticism and what you do. what reaction do you expect from americans when you write things like

?

You are free to critizise (sp?) all day long, but I'll ask you to mind your language.

Btw, this is also applies to all replies like this:

you might not agree with someone's statement here, but name-calling will generally not help in a serious discussion, will not help support your argument, and will most likely damage your own reputation, which in turn will lead to people not taking you seriously...

So, I'll ask everyone to keep a level head...

thanks,
B.

That's a great reaction. Find all the senseless killing done by our troops as "silly." Bet you came from the shallow end of the gene pool.

Are you that dumb that you think the troops WANTED to go over to Iraq?

General: SOLDIERS WE'RE GOING TO IRAQ! WATCH OUT FOR IED'S!
Soldiers: YIPPIEEE!!!!111

No. I'd place my money on the majority of the soldiers NOT wanting to have gone over to Iraq, much less having to kill people or watch their friends get ripped apart by IED's. Don't blame the messenger (the military), blame the sender (the government).

Hey, they signed up for it. They knew damn well what the military does, it doesn't matter who they get to kill. They seem to be having a blast over there, no pun intended.
