I don’t have one…but fired plenty of Bullpup weapons back in the day. Between 87-89ish I was part of a team that ran a joint training partnership with the French Presidential Escorts…also got some training with GIGN. First time to fire a FAMAS or a Styer AUG was interesting…very different from any M-16 variant or “anything” else we used at the time. Most exotic thing beyond our normal mid-80s Infantry lineup was a silenced MP5 or an Uzi.

When I switched from Presidential Escort duty to DIA…needless to say…I got hands on with myriad foreign service weapon systems.

In the pic I’m in the foreground firing an SVD Sniper rifle on a range in Hungary.

Many, MANY years ago 😏

Yeah…played Black OPS 1 and a couple others a bit myself back in my 40s. When I was a young whippersnapper 😉. Too much run and gun…and smack talking 8 year olds with lightening fast hand to eye 😏

I switched to Battlefield where one could actually use some tactics…but then they shrank their maps to where ya might as well have been playing CoD.

Heh…wish I knew you were a fan. Coulda sent ya some “Real” Black OPS patches with your couple Oakley leather ones.
