With their blackened faces, secretive missions and high-tech weaponry, the mystique around them has fascinated movie-goers, armchair warriors and military buffs.

The French commandos would eat either of those Kens for lunch. BTW, how many fly boxes can you fit in that vest?
"are ya sure he ain't one a them homosexual soldiers? What in tarnation! I reckon he's lookin' at my butt!"
Holy cow, the guy who wrote "Counterstrike" sure did a fantastic job making the skins and weapons -- looks an awful lot like this.
God knows the French already eat some pretty disgusting things... I bet they'd sure like to give it a try. Only 1 Problem: The US & British commandos would be able to see the French approaching from miles away by the smell of moldy cheese, the immense plumes of cigarette smoke, and sound of their threatining to go on strike. The Americans and British would be able to get away before being drenched in butter and white wine and being served to the French.
I was thinking the same thing. i play tactical ops, a UT mod, and it has the same weapons and skins(except for the mask, mine, and RSE) A kickass job.
I hope we have some of these prototypes to use. Excerpt: Key Capabilities Precise target range which is automatically communicated to the 20mm HE (High Explosive) bursting ammunition. Soldier lases, aims and fires. Five times more lethal than the M16/M203, at more than twice the range Full defilade target capability Day/night fire control; weapon interface, iron sight backup Laser ranging accuracy: ±1/2m out to 500m; ±1m out to 1000m Moving target tracking capability ... identification of closest enemy threat option Rate of fire with KE (Kinetic Energy) ammunition: >850 rounds/min; with HE >10 rounds/min HE ammunition functional modes: airburst, MOUT short arm, point detonation, point detonation delay, and self-destruct KE semi two-round burst; HE semi automatic Recoil level: only slight more than M16 Ruggedized composite weapon housing Separable HE/KE weapons Easily field strippable in less than two minutes http://www.atk.com/defense/descriptions/products/Shoulder-firedWeapons/oicw-new.htm FYI, these rifles will run about $10,000 to the M16's $1,000, but apprently when you pay for all of the add-ons on the OICW, the M16 package costs $35,000! BTW, 'Defilade' targets are those (prone or crouched) hiding behind barricades, sand bags, doors and windows. I.e., you cannot hide from this rifle.
