AP

As a military abriviation, this is short for Armour Piercing. As in an Armour Piercing round (bullet) or rocket.

An AP round is designed to penetrate through protctive armour, most AP rounds can even penetrate level 3A protective armour (but may have trouble with gunshields) AP rounds are nicknamed "greenies" by the guys in my PLT because of the dab of green paint on the tip to indicate it's an AP round.

An AP rocket (for example, an AP FFAR) is designed to pentrate the armour of heavy armoured vehicles (tanks) as a sole purpose.

Gunshield

The most effective way of defending a soldier from enemy fire, even more effective than level 3A body armour.

The gunshield is a large square inch thick bullet proof block fitted to the front of a weapon, these can be painted camouflage or be made of transparent materials in order to keep good visablity. These can take several AP rounds before even cracking.

The gunshield can also be used as a bipod to support the weapon on any surface and when laying prone a soldier can be completely protected by the shield.

These gunshields can be made very light weight at only 3-5 pounds depending on what material is used. When moving forward, if moving crouched the shield can be kept between you and the enemy while you are still able to return fire, unlike body armour which has to be made flexible, gunshileds are made completely solid allowing much higher levels of protection.
"I couldn't see where the enemy was, but because I was laying down behind my gunshield I was protected from their fire until I could spot them, I was able to return fire while still protected, I wouldn't have survived the ambush if not for the gunshield mounted to my rifle"

donkey thump

When you donkeythump someone, you fuck them in the ass and when you're about to blow your load you whack them on the back of the head so they clench. I have experience with this myself.
I donkeythump, therefore I am, although have been donkeythumped myself several times

FFAR

Folding Fin Aerial Rocket

These unguided rockets are usually fired from tubes inside cylindrical "FFAR pods", after firing the fins flip out to keep the rocket trajectory stable so it hits the intended target.

FFARs come in a variety of different ordnance, HEAT, AP, Flechette among others.
"3rd PLT got outgunned by some T62s but an AH-64D just swooped over slamming FFARs and wasted the whole armour column in a single run, some awesome shit man"
