Funny story, I was reading a book about Delta Force and a POW rescue they planned during the Vietnam war, and in the book they mentioned taping big ass D or C cell Maglites onto their CAR-15's. Imagine the front end weight!!

I had thought that CAR-15's were initially buttstock-heavy ?...

Is that Sledge Hammer ?.......

HaHa...yep. Recognized him right away. I believe his catch phrase was " Trust me, I know what I am doing". LOL. Funny Show.

Actually same guy was in 'Cobra' also if my memory serves me correctly.

The SAS pioneered that with their MP-5's.

You do know the Son Tay raid preceeded the SAS adopting the MP-5 by about 20 years right?

Have one upstairs -- not a pleasant tool for size or weight.

old school laser with a huge battery pack

This. Remember the laser Arnie had on his longslide 1911 in ze Terminator? They used to be freakin' huge!

That's where they started. The first surefire.

Lol not quite that much....Son Tay raid was November 1970, SAS were using the MP5 when they assaulted the Iranian embassy in May 1980, I can probably find a more accurate date when they started using the MP5 but it was after working with the GSG9 sometime in the late '70's ('77 I think)
Definitely not 20 years!

.........

The early IR kits !....

 

[fango]

That awful thing on top is a very early laser! They were gross looking but worked for incredible distances. The other thing is a MWG drum. actually it is not a drum but a curved or bent stick mag. They hold 90 rounds but you did well if you got 87 rounds in and it was very reliable. They sold for between $60-99 before the ban.

The only thing better than having a scope as big as your rifle, is then shooting said rifle from the hip

Don't mind the fact that his other shoulder has a bleeding bullet wound

 

[JAGDMORDER]

It most definately does not look like a drum that would hold 9mm. The "thingy" on the top is "old school" laser sight.
