Cute pic, norge - thanks for sharing. There's nothing more heartwarming than a picture of a kid with an assault rifle!

I think he's trying to remember where he left the magazine for the rifle.

Heck, he's trying to figure out where to put the magazine. I had to look at the photo twice before realizing it was some kind of bullpup design. What the heck is that weapon anyway? What caliber is it? I like the look of it, not that we are likely to be able to get one over here.

Looks like it's an SA80:

Fear Wally Lipton (me) the medic killing you long distance in BF2 with that bad boy. I thought it looked familiar. I sort of doubt many people play BF2 here, but still.

I never had the chance to get into BF2 - played the demo but I was already sucked into America's Army and Joint Ops at the time. Since then, I've had to swear off PC-based games and have been concentrating my few gaming hours on the Xbox 360 and Wii (360 for the graphics and killing games - Gears of War! Call of Duty - and the Wii for the play-with-the-family games).

I only wish.. I actually don't play much any more, I used to play a few hrs a day, now maybe an hour or two on the weekend, but yeah, it's about not being on the computer all the time. I'm waiting to find a Wii locally, I'm not ready to pay any more than face value, otherwise I'd pick up one on CL for $25 over or so..

I realize we're dramatically veering off of the "Royal Marines" subject and are now into "Wii Hunting" territory, but I just can't resist...

If you're looking for a Wii, keep an eye on:

http://www.wiihunt.com/
and
http://crayz.org/target_wii.php?zip=000 ... B0009VXBAQ
(replace 00000 with your zip code)

These are pretty good trackers for finding out if a local store in your area has them in stock.
