Here's that video, it's a hoot!  Even the CO was like, "dude seriously?"  The guy was duel wielding pistols the entire run. You just got to laugh at the how comical the whole thing was.

LMAO!  "There he goes"  "There he goes again"

Interesting point on the 858's.  We were told 1/2 way through day one by game control they were no longer valid grenades.  I guess some Russians and USFOR kept tossing the same ones back and forth and both sides had a fit.  I kept using and honoring them like they were legit though and don't recall anyone else not doing so.  I see no reason why they can't add a clause to the rule about rearming the electronics before respawn and not using enemy grenades and call it good.

The thing that irks me on that issue are two points.
1. Game staff should stand by their own Warnord.  People pay alot of money to go to a game where they plan their equipment accordingly to follow the rules. If I pay to shoot my guns at a 1,000 yard range and halfway through the day they change the rules to where I can only shoot at 300 yard targets, I'd kind of be upset.   Field changes on major rules like that are a big NO NO in my book.   

2. If game staff have to make changes to the rules, they need to inform everyone at an appropriate time. Such as the pre-deployment of the second half of the day and all game staff need to be on the same page.   

To allevate that issue, I mark my grenades.  If mine are thrown back, I can easily tell and thus I'm not hit because the enemy was giving my used grenade back to me to be respawned when I go back to the ccp or fob.  Thing is, if people are just honest and follow the rules you won't have all this BS/drama.   But for that people have to actually read and understand the rules to begin with.....


@ Bob, that's great. I'll have to see if I can edit that in sometime.
