@puck That doesn't sound bad at all! Unless you're working before and after that or something. I can't wait to get into some college for myself.

@communistprime Nah, not working at the moment! So, it's pretty good. On Mondays i'm in for an hour. ;^^

@puck That sounds nice. I had kind of a day of yesterday. Just had to wander around and swap my weapon out. Then I sat in my room and played games most of the day. I actually forgot I was in Afghanistan for a little while...was nice.

@communistprime Woah, you're in an Afghanistan? Good to see you get some days to re cooperate and relax bud.
Tuesday, 20-Sep-11 08:39:37 UTC from web-
@puck Yep! Been deployed here since May.

@communistprime How's it been? As crazy as people say?
Tuesday, 20-Sep-11 08:41:29 UTC from web-
@puck Depends on where you are. Where I was, no. Where I am now, kinda.
Tuesday, 20-Sep-11 08:41:59 UTC from web-
@communistprime Heh, cool...least it's not total bedlam
Tuesday, 20-Sep-11 08:43:47 UTC from web-
@puck The first day I got here was kinda crazy, along with a few days here and there where it picked up, but that's about it. Can't wait to get home.
Tuesday, 20-Sep-11 08:45:36 UTC from web-
@communistprime When do you get home? :-)
Tuesday, 20-Sep-11 08:47:24 UTC from web-
@puck I'll get back to Alaska around Oct 15th, but I won't be back home till around January, when I finally get out of the Army.

@communistprime Right, see you later bud!

@communistprime Swap it out for what? Another of the same model, or something different? (I have no idea how this stuff works)
-
@ceruleanspark Well since I'm leaving soon I was moved to a FOB and I took my replacements M16 and gave him my M4. It's only been a day and I miss my M4...it was so light and nice and not-a-musket. D:
Tuesday, 20-Sep-11 08:41:33 UTC from web-
@communistprime I've airsofted with weighted replicas of both, and I also prefer the M4, but I don't really think our experiences are comparable somehow. Or is it a "There are many like it but this one is mine" sort of thing?
-
@ceruleanspark Kinda. I had that one with me since I got here. The M16 is just big and heavier (not by much, but it's noticeable) and just plain annoying.
Tuesday, 20-Sep-11 08:44:46 UTC from web-
@communistprime I had the same complaint about the M16 actually. It seems the replica was a faithful one in that regard. Of course, the temperature was a lot lower and I didn't have to worry about recoil or barrel heating either.
-
@ceruleanspark Barrel heating isn't a problem because you're not touching the barrel. And recoil is hardly noticeable with a round as small as 5.56, though it is present.
Tuesday, 20-Sep-11 08:48:17 UTC from web-
@communistprime Recoil is completely absent from an AEG, so even a small amount is noteworthy. Also, I'm pretty obviously not trained in the use of assault weapons, so any recoil at all is likely to throw me. The only real weapon I've fired is a break-barrel shotgun for clay-pigeon shooting.
