& now let’s hear it for our Tuesday morning contestants
Continuing our African Infantryman of the Year competition we have two new entrants. Firstly in the Fire & Manoeuvre category we have Sundaygar…
Sundaygar is a firm believer that muzzle velocity is directly proportional to how hard you tug on the trigger. He also cautions his many many fans to ensure that the stock of your personal weapon is kept clear of the shoulder at all times.
Second up, & modelling this seasons Mothercare Militia-Gurl range, we have I’satta
I’satta assures us that baby body armour strapped to your chest, affords adequate protection against calibres up to & including 9mm Parabellum as well as the sorts of shrapnel & ricochets often encountered in the urban environment

Should I ask about the brown streak down the inside leg?
If MY jeans had that feature, I might consider sending them to the laundry....

I was particularly taken with I'satta's choice of combat footwear. Can anybody off commment on the advantages of floral sandals versus the MkI Ammo boot, squaddie, for the use of?

Pink fuzzy bunny slippers are more tactical.
If she has more sprogs, they can also be strapped on for further protection.

Notice the guy with the "PAK ARMY" patch.
Would your prince call him a "Paki"?
The national flag patch on his shoulder has a waxing crescent moon and the Pakistan Army patch has a waning crescent. The waxing crescent supposedly represents a battle won under a waxing crescent, but the waning crescent is inconsistent with the position of the star, which is most likely Venus. Of course, it's also impossible to have a star or planet "inside" the circle formed from the crescent.
The US went through a "flag flap" when we put our flag on the left shoulder. The Union should always be facing the front. I suppose whether they are attacking or retreating, the Pakistani Army wants at least one of their patches correct.
This guy is likely a UN "peacekeeper" judging from the blue baseball cap.

Yup, and given the average procreation rate in such societies, there would be a steady stream of replacement fillers for that holder...

I know Kalashnikovs can take a lot of abuse, but I can't see that rusty piece of shit being much use other than as a fashion accessory.

That ain't no Paki, that's Jean Reno!
I've no doubt that AK WILL work, even with the upper reciever being partially absent:

Safety wise though, imagine the barrel being as rusty on the inside, chances are the bullet will remain firmly in place while the casing and bolt assembly are sent flying behind allied lines.
Considering the innovative combat boots; there is no arguing about the fact that they provide superior heat dispersion in arid combat environments.
