who the hell are these dudes?

 

[Brian1/75]

I would guess it's just some SF bubbas.

I would guess it's just some SF bubbas.

I would venture to say Brian is correct, I'm about 90% sure I know two of the guys pictured above. They would prolly not be too stoke to know their pics are floating around the interwebz.

I would venture to say Brian is correct, I'm about 90% sure I know two of the guys pictured above. They would prolly not be too stoke to know their pics are floating around the interwebz being smashed off to by a plethora of grown men who like to play dress up.

I'm pretty sure they will be even less happy when they learn about that.

One of the boys took this photo the other day.

"We set up on a town and kids came out collecting brush for the winter and compromised us... I went out to provide cover for the boys while we packed up and I snapped this..."

He said it was like watching death wait to land on someone: he called it a "death gargoyle". Thought it was interesting pic

I thank the Swedes regularly for the Carl Gustav. Having the ability to air-burst 84mm projectiles out to 1200m is indispensable.
