A note, GfS: I was 11B40, Light Weapons Infantry, in Army, in a combat zone. I held Expert Badge in rifle, auto.rifle, and carbine. I have also fired the M-60 machine gun, the M-1 and M14 rifles, the M-1 .45 "Grease Gun", the M-2 BMG, the M-79 grenade launcher, the .30 caliber M-1919A6 machine gun, the M1911A1 .45 pistol, various rocket launchers, and a shitload of other weaponry. I've taught bayonet and hand-to-hand combat. I've been shot at, and I've shot back. I can use hand grenades of various types, set and operate various land mines (including "toe poppers" and Claymores), and make and use improvised explosives and explosive devices.
