#1 Sorry about the old news (May, 2010), but it is still so sweet that he not only plugged two baddies but also their MG.

#3 Craig Harrison's AI L115A3 cost the British Ministry of Defence GBP23,000 (US$34,000),

#4 Legend has it that a long time ago, a German general and a Swiss general compared notes during a joint training excerise. The German proudly boasted of his army's numbers, while his counterpart explained the Swiss concept of citizen-soldiers and emphasis on marksmanship.

"Our army is twice the size of yours," the German general bragged. "What would you do, hypothetically of course, if we invaded Switzerland?"

The Swiss general shrugged, unimpressed. "We'd shoot twice and go home."
