ak-74

A Russian assault rifle, designed by Kalishnakov, in response to the NATO 5.56x45mm round. Instead of the AK-47's 7.62x39mm round, it uses a bottle-necked 5.45x39mm round. It has many variations like the AK-47, including the ultra-short AK-74SU, developed for Russian special forces and tank crews.

My AK-74 is not real, it's just an Airsoft!

cuirassier

Napoleonic era. A type of heavy cavalry that got its name from the cuirass, the French word for breast plate. The idea was large men upon powerful horses, who were able to charge head-on into the enemy and expose and flanks or holes left in the lines of infantry after an artillery barrage. They were equipped with a cuirass, a long sword, two pistols and eventually a carbine.

After the artillery finsished its barrage, the cuirassiers charged the broken lines of infantry.

kevlar

Material that is actually nylon streched very thin, which makes it much tougher. Used in everything from bullet-proof vests to gun stocks.

I only where about ten layers of kevlar. I hope that can stop a shotgun blast.

scud

Missile produced by the Soviet Union. It was made famous by the Gulf War, not because it hit some targets, but because of how many it missed. It is completely unguided.

"SCUD" stands for "Soviet Constructed Uselessly Deployed"

white ninja

Quite possibly one of the greatest web comics EVER! Cheaply drawn, but it adds to it. Funny beyond a doubt, excellent through and through.

If you don't like white ninja, then WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!?

Garry's Mod

A modification of the game Half-Life 2. It allows you to experiment with the game's physics engine by posing ragdolls or building vehicles out of random objects. It also allows you to paint any ragdoll or object and you can change the physical properties of the object or ragdoll.

Garry's Mod is extremely awesome.

little bird

A variant of the OH-6 Cayuse. It's a small and manueverable helicopter used by the Army's 160th Special Operations Air Regiment. It can be fitted with two "benches" on the outside to carry two people on each. It is the small helicopter in Blackhawk Down.

Those Sammys were totally owned by the little bird's miniguns!
