"I told you we should wear it backwards, with the explosive behind us."

#7 To my knowlege, .50 cal can't be used with the US armed forces ROE as an 'anti-personnel' round, so good for the Brits!

#9 @ #7: The ROE for 50 BMG is it's an anti-vehicle weapon in a machine gun, but usable for personel in a single shot, which a Barrett is.
If you use a M2 BMG to shoot a person, you have to fill out a form that it was a mistake and you weren't aiming at him. No kidding.

#10 Sounds like he wasn't aiming at the person, just the vest. So all's good right?

#12 Glenmore, fraud and self-promotion. IIRC, one of his Purple Hearts was for what amounted to a scratch on his but that required only a bandaid.

#13 Wasn't one from when he shot at a cliff wall and a stone came back and hit him on the arm?

I don't think he had an re-enactment of that for his home movie collection.
