can you really aim a gun at anything properly through that helmet?

Pellidon · Feb 12, 2006

The round thingy on top of the weaopon projects a Heads Up Display to the visor. Miniature IR scanners follow the retnia foci of the eye to move the reticule and that causes the gyros on the muzzle to alter the attitude of the weapon to aim.

But then my favorite firearm is a Colt Peacemaker style Single Action in 45 Long Colt so I am somewhat biased against some of the doo-dads hanging off a weapon. My second favorite is a Walther P99 so I am not that much of a dinosaur.

I'd put my money on the shotgun and Officer Sparky.

It does look like he's squinting a little bit, doesn't it?? Rover sure isn't, though..

Are those French officers wearing...head coverings?

Santelmo · Feb 12, 2006

I hear that those GIGN guys are known especially to be proficient marksmen.

That's awesome! I would hate to be the person on the receiving end of that dog.

I have a friend that is active in French Ring Sport here in the states. Basically he trains dogs (mostly belgian malinois) and their owners for attack purposes. He said most German Shepherds can't handle it. They are amazing dogs.

Uh...

Yeah, sure.

In the gunner's chair of an Apache attack helicopter...

Pulling legs, I hope?

I can't remember. Either I saw it on the discovery channel or in a James Bond movie.

A mixed-martial arts fighter here in the Philippines trains these dogs for a living here in the Philippines. They are actually the "breed of choice" among trainers because they are intelligent, hardy and have a long life span, ensuring longer years of service.

It's a 'horses for courses' sort of thing..

The Malinois is a super working dog......if WORKED....and WORKED regularly...

left to muse around or remain in a family environment is a nightmare for them...

They are so active and highly strung...

Personally, they are too much hassle for me....I'm a German Shepherd fan...as the dog is much more suited to 'all round' use....

More steady and reliable and a better 'mixer' in both circumstances and surroundings...

But as a LEO dog...and a 24/7 worker.....the Malinois...is king..
