What Exotic Weapons Have You Trained On?

[Flopsweat]

My ex girlfriends mom was an exotic weapon for sure!!!!! Technically I never did get "trained" on her but I sure had a few negligent discharges when she would ask for a massage! Makes me miss my highschool years.....

Sounds like Stacy's mom.

WOW !! Didn't mean to stir the pot. What I meant was, that monster looks like a tank on steroids.
You guys are playing with toys that are way after my time...

Please accept my apoliments for overreracting. I guess I'm getting so used to folks making snarky replies to my posts that I find them where they are not. I've modified the post.accordingly.

Most exotic was the 20mm Hispano-Suiza cannon. Allegedly mounted on some vehicles in Europe, though I never saw one after small arms training at Aberdeen Proving Grounds.

I used to have a T-shirt that read, 'Tomahawk, the answer to Nyaaahnyaaa's everywhere'.

We had some made up for the cruise missile division that said,

Tomahawk... when you care enough to send the very best..

I knew about the history of their use, but in 1971 none of the Army trainers at Aberdeen Proving Grounds could identify its use with then-current inventory. I encountered all the other weapons we were trained to maintain - from .38 revolvers to .50 machine guns - in Vietnam. Even stuff no longer issued to US troops [like the M1 carbine, M3 grease gun, and M1A1 Thompson] were still in use by the ARVN units.
