Of all the things that never happened... well you know the rest.

This story is fake and gay as a FtM leg fat penis

It was real in your head user.. it was real in your head.

I broke my ankle once

Amazing how you went from basic training to fighting in a village in 12 hours

Shhhh....
He's about to tell us about when he got a Predator Missile for his kill-streak.

>issued a faulty piece of equipment
>go straight to CO about it

Either BULLSHIT, or your squad and team leader hated your fucking guts like I do.

In the guard we had this private that would ask the captain what time chow was. Did it repeatedly.

Main campaign usually only takes 4 hours. He must be bad at this game.

and then the camera pans out and user is sitting in a mental ward jabbering to other mental patients

>hue conscript
>basic training
>night progression course
>basically a trail in the woods the nco's placed obstacles and traps
>630 gets to the place a punching bag? swings out, we're supposed to thi ti with the rifle
>not the FAL, but a beat to shit mauser without the bolt
>anyway when 630 gets to it, the sergeant there tells him to hit the dummy
>instead of "stabbing" it with the tip of the barrel, he grabs the barrel and uses the mauser like a baseball bat
>70 year old wood furnitue shatters, obviously
>sarge goes "ther, soldier, good job"
>630 goes "sir, i broke the rifle"
>sarge goes "WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST DO PRIVATE"
>he got yelled at for a bit, but kept on going, nothing could be done there

>when I got to the end, everyone was grouped up around a campfire (it was really cold for brazil)
>as soon as I sit down, LT shows up and orders everyone back to the beginning

If I remember correcly, the 630 dude just had to do some pushups, since he followed the order to hit the dummy.

>>Be an impulse enlist after 9/11.
Already lost, top kek. Good one user

Google image search suggests OP is a faggot

Wasn't there a news story about a group of soldiers that got dishonorably discharged Because they took an ak off a dead body and started shooting it in the mountain side while recording themselves

>>Immediately given an AK off the ground by my CO, who watched my rifle fall aprt in my hands.
>>"Do you know how to use this, Private user?"
>>"Yes, I do, Sergeant."
>CO
>Sergeant
This is where your story really fell apart, fake ass bitch. Try harder next time.

A He's not the only one.
B The M-4 is a piece of shit. The saw as well.

>some retard forgets to put gas tube back to his RK
>fires
>the gun explodes
5/5

>CO
>Sargeant
Yup. I'm not even in the military nor have I ever served but I knew that was bullshit.

>CO
>O
>O as in officer
>Yeah Sarge, I can into an AK
>Naming an enlisted man as your CO
Better luck next time kid.

0/10 not even trying

this is true.
Although I have never had FTE's out of my spikes. fucker just spits it out.

But take an AK over an AR any day.

>Firefight starts, fire first 5 rounds when my magazine falls out of the slot and my whole lower was cracked from mag slot lip to the top of the piece.

>grab some mags off the body the rifle came from and hope the magic Ruskie engineering wouldn't fail me.

You went from patrolling, to literally on top of the enemy's position in the span of a 5 seconds? So close that you could harvest mags off of a dead terry?

That's a goddamn miracle, private. Fine work, it's lucky you're alive. I just thank god your father trained on the AK-47 platform, or who knows what could have happened.

Story checks out. Carry on, private. TYFYS

You didn’t tell your commander shit

>Told my CO about a weapon malfunction

TFYFS

This thread is a shit show. Thanks Jow Forums for brightening my day.

One,time I joined the Marine Core and they sent me to Ft Knocks which was like wow it was tough, they KNOCKS you around for real and they I was deployed and sniped 40 towels in one day until the Fleet Admiral told me to,stop and shook my hand before drivng away in his Town Car and once I got home The President also shook my hand and said Great Job Soldier and that's how it goes sometimes I'm not a bragger or anything

Thats a good story Huey but save it for another thread because this one his about making fun of OP

Waow spank you 4 ur cervix dog bless Armenia.

kek

Hes not wrong. I watched a humvee tire fall on an M16 snapoing it in two where the butt sock/ buffer spring tube match the upper reciever. MILSPEC leaves alot to be desired

Then it must have been an A1 receiver (6061 aluminum), which lacks additional material below the receiver extension to reinforce it

>take weapon from dead enemy
>grab some mags off the body the rifle came from

absolutely terrible idea that could end with you losing appendages or dying.

heard of a thing called spiked ammunition?
the US military has distributed it around the middle east. from mortar shells to bullets and more.

an example of this is the vid of those contractors shooting an AK they found, and it blows up in the dudes face

look up "spiked ammunition" and you will never want to pick up and use weapons from enemies in the middle east

>Bitching about spiked ammo myths when the entire story is complete bullshit

>Prank war ends
Occasionally my buddies send the LT (now a Major) these pictures and ask how his GF is via different email accounts to fuck with him. He's actually a pretty decent officer we just like to fuck with him.

thats fucked man, what happens when some law-abiding citezen just wants to plink some rocks off the back of his camel accidentally loads some cheap surplus his cousin gave him?

M16s currently in service are trash, I got issued one with a bent front sight. Spent most of basic trying to get it replaced. Got to qualify with it for half a day broken, finally convinced drill SGT about the problem. Surprise surprise i qualify on next round. Got issued guarbage mags too. Worn out springs. It was a joke! Way to go to town on haji with AK battle buddy.

spiked ammo is nothing new. We did that in Vietnam with the snake eaters. Seals too whatever. LURPS. All those guys use to drop off free ammo for Charley. Merry Christmas Charley! BOOOOM! Noting new under the sun anons.

Wow did you get a coin user. I mean wow. I am sooo impressed.

On tablet so fuck greentext
Be me

Be at ye olde COP again
Have a wonderful issued vintage M49 spotting scope that probably was used to spot japs during ww2.
Scope is sitting on an empty drum because its comfy to observate the next village this way
Behind drum are sandbags behind sandbags is a 400 feet drop-off
LT (whos actually a cool guy) comes over to over as me something
Stumbles
Crashes into me, I crash into the can, M49 goes byebye
Patrole retrieves it a few days later. Not a single lens was intact but the body was still remarkably okay.
Still said it was ruined
