I just traded in my good old M-4 for a newer H&K 416 with an EO TEC HOLOgraphic Weapon Sight. It's not diving related, but I'm happy and just wanted to share.

Mines the top one with a 10" barrel.

Now all I have to do is shoot to zero before I need it.


Very nice Vinny! Now be careful or you'll shoot yer eye out! :cheerleader:

Rule 7 A - never run out of ammo and ideas at the same time.
No aquarium, no tank in a marine land, however spacious it may be, can begin to duplicate the conditions of the sea. And no dolphin who inhabits one of those aquariums or one of those marine lands can be considered normal.

When I was here last time the 'rule" was not to expect help for about 45 minutes so carry enough of eveything to last that long. Needless to say my time as an NCO taught me how to acquire stuff. and it serves me well today.

See everyone soon.

Good deal. As a contractor over there, I get to carry some "other" toys that our Rich Uncle doesn't like to use. Here are some of what we play with over there... (and yes, that is packaging tape holding the pin in. Well, what was left of the pin, as it broke when we pulled the pin in an "action" But didn't end up throwing it.) :birthday:

VADiver, which outfit are you with to get the new stuff like that?? Ive got friends in the 20th SF Group that are just getting ahold to the piston uppers to run..Few of the ODA guys had a few samples from various manufacters on their last trip to Afganistan last year to try out in the field..Seems to be the greatest thing since peanut butter from what I hear..
