I remember hearing from a friend of mine about when the Canadian forces adopted the M16. The rifle butts would crack in the cold as the plastic used couldn't handle artic conditions. Thus Canada had to reformulate the plastic for use in our most northern bases. I'm not sure if the US ever made the change. But then -60 degree cold before wind chill isn't likely to be an issue. For all intents and purposes it's the same weapon in any case. Just that the Canadian version is cold adapted. I believe there was a general improvement made to the M16 and it's capacity to deal with humidity after Vietnam. But don't quote me on that.

Oh yes and definately good pics.

Ok since I'm onto army stories I'll tell one that I was told. As allies the Canadians and Americans often share training facilities and are particularly good at this when it comes to the artillery. My friend told me it's because the Americans are short on live fire facilities. In any case the base, Name witheld to protect the guilty, would buy junk cars to use as targets. These cars were emptied of gas and set as is on the target range. Soldiers stationed at the base would go out and strip parts off the target cars when there were no firing exercises scheduled. One evening there being no exercise scheduled for the next day one of the officers left his brand new pickup on the range as it was full of car parts and there was still another two cars to strip. The next morning a unscheduled American unit arrived set up and began firing, The first ranging shot was a direct hit on the brand new pick up. The resulting fireball as the gas tank blew caused a great deal of confusion.

Just try to explain that to your insurance.

well I watched this army video the other day trying to prove that the flack vest (the bullet proof vest) work and this one army guy held the vest above his head and another army guy shot at it.... well the kicker was he missed so he decided to move closer so he could hit it and ended up shooting the guy in the leg...

Military intelligence at its finest :P

(diclamer: I will never proclame to be the smartest tool but I would never let some one shoot me for fun... nor let them agein after they missed once :/ )
