I have heard stories the Marines use live ammo.
Is this true. Damn it is great having you Iraq vets on the sight.
In Nam our weapons would get filthy, wet, dirty, uncleaned, and the darn things kept on ticking. Hell the two times I shot it, it worked.
Good to hear from the real deal on this question. Thank You.
Could you guys carry an AK if you wanted one. Or was that a no go. I am sure it varied from unit to unit.
I am going to the Nam reunion in a few weeks and I will have a bunch of Picts for you guys. Lot of Iraq vets show up and we love it. You guys are the best of the best. All of you.
