When I was traveling through Bagram Airfield on one of my deployments I saw an E5 (sergeant for the non-military people) with their ACOG on backwards. I am not sure how someone fails to realize that their magnifying optic is not magnifying properly.

This is an old old picture. There was another one like it at around the same time period of a Marble Falls officer with the magazine in backwards in her AR5.....

So, not even cops and military need guns... or is it that only cops and military need guns?

Which is it liberals?

HAHAHAHA!

You know they just hired some ad agency and some photographer set that up... Somehow it made it to print and voila, you have an embarrassment for HK.
Hilarious!

In those pictures, the SWAT guy has his iron sights flipped up. I assume he has never tried to use it. Just has it cause it looks cool maybe.
