Lots to love with this picture


I'm gonna say... Canadian?  Correct me if I am wrong, but the sniper rifle looks Springfield 03 to me.  The light machine gun is obviously a Bren.  The helmet looks US, so, a rifle and helmet is North American.  But that uniform doesn't look US at all.  And he has a marlin-spike knife clipped on his belt.

Odd kit, no?  Well, odd, in that I am unfamiliar with it.  So that's on me.

  1. That's a Brit helmet. The mesh cover is throwing you off.

    That's no 1903, look at that front sight!

    That's a P.14 with a Warner-Swazey scope.

    So he's Canadian, eh.

  2. And it's Swasey. I always spell it wrong first try.

I reserve the right to delete patently offensive comments. Or, really, any comment I feel like. Or I might leave a really juicy comment up for private ridicule. Also spammers.

You can always offend hippies in the comment section. Chances are, those will be held up as a proper example...
