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!

lancer

Napoleonic era. A type of light cavalry unit that was armed with a lance. They were used to harass retreating troops. Lances had been retired, but after a group of Polish lancers defeated an entire group of British forces, many countries brought the lance back in. Some countries, like Prussia, had Uhlans, which are the same thing.

We're screwed, it's the Polish lancers!

m4

A carbine version of the M16A2 assault rifle. It is a true carbine, being that is has a shortened barrel and a collapsable stock. Very popular with SWAT teams and Special Forces because of its light weight and customizability. Attachments include scopes, grenade launchers and laser aiming modules.

I pwned that T with ma m4, yo!

SOCOM pistol

Known to USSOCOM (United States Special Operations Command) as the Mark 23, Mod 0. It is the pistol of choice for U.S. Special Forces. It uses .45 ACP (automatic colt pistol, for those of you not in the know). It also comes with a Knights flash and sound supressor and a laser aiming module. It has a 150mm barrel(5.9 inches) and is capable of match-grade accuracy. It is not very popular with Special Forces, being that it is very large, rivaling a Desert Eagle in size.

Solid Snake uses a SOCOM, and you should too.

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!

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!?

PSG-1

Praezisionschutzengewehr("precision shooting rifle"). Considered by many to be the most accurate semi-auto sniper rifle in the world. It was developed in response to the 1972 Munich Olympics, in which the current sniper's weapon, the G3SG1, was not accurate enough to make a good shot. It uses the same system from the G3 assault rifle, a roller-locked delayed blowback action. It has a unique fully-adjustable butt stock as well as an adjustable trigger shoe. It also comes with a specially-developed mini-tripod. It can only use one scope, that being the one issued with the rifle, a 6x42 Hensholdt scope. It has a weird form of extraction in which it flings the spent casing nearly 32 feet from the weapon, which is one reason why it isn't popular with professional armies. The other reason is that the weapon is very heavy, weighing nearly 18 pounds. All this comes at a very hefty price tag of $10,000 dollars.

The PSG-1 can easily put one right in between the eyes.
