    PS - Those were flashlights rigged to scope mounts, not lasers! There are some pics in this thread from Pro:

    Those were actually Hendsolt illuminators that were "pre laser" aiming devices. You could argue they were flashlights with a screened lens that resulted in a projected crosshair. But they weren't rigged, they were a purpose built item.

    I guess I'll go see it when it comes out. I'm might have a mild interest in the subject. Just a very mild one. (I'm sure SteryAUG has most of these on his bookshelf...)

    Jezus, it's like we are the result of some bizarre cloning experiment. The only one you are missing is the SAS Survival Handbook.

    LOL, yeah. I actually have the Urban Survival Handbook, also by John Wiseman - it was on a different part of the bookshelf along with 'SAS - an illustrated history' by Barry Davies. There are also a bunch of paperbacks I didn't include in the pic. Speaking of clones - do you also have the STTU series of books by Mark Lonsdale and bought cool stuff from Shomer-Tec in the late 80's?

    Actually there is a SAS Survival Handbook and the SAS Urban Survival Handbook (which isn't as good). I think I have almost every Lonsdale book Sniper, Counter Sniper, CQB and a couple others. And yeah Shomer-Tec, Brigade Quartermaster, Sportsmans Guide and a ton of books from Paladin Press.

    Also if you haven't found my FB page "Vintage Nunchaku" I have a lot of stuff about early adoption of the nunchaku and PR-24 by law enforcement in the early 1970s. If you search "law enforcement" you'll probably turn up some interesting reading.

    I always wanted this poster as a kid . . .



    Never got it, though I hear there is an MP5 50th Anniversary reproduction I might have to allocate.

    When the British put their minds to it; their shows and movies are awesome.

    Like Strike Back, The Avengers, The Professionals, etc.

    And old school hardcore SAS where their dudes looked like Lemmy Kilmister(Peace Be Upon Him), just lifted, smoked, drank, played soccer, and wenched nobby harlots until it was time to murder people in the dark with high speed gear. Then saunter back to the smoke filled Team House in Hereford for Fish and Chips
    The gents who went in the door were amazing but the story is full of great characters. Perfect for a movie script.

    I believe there was a Constable named Locke who had a concealed SW M&P the entire siege. He was swept up in the initial hostage takers assault. He ended up playing a role in aiding the assaulters. I was telling that story to my kids, because I always associated that with some serious pucker factor.

    The Iron Lady is a standout too. The UK government suddenly got a serious case of balls at Princess Gate, good or bad, the IRA, Argentines and coal miners would soon learn she was not to be screwed with...

    I've checked out your nunchaku page before - very interesting. By the way, can anyone identify the weapon on the left in the pic below (not the SPAS12)?

    I stand corrected.

    Any pictures of what the projected crosshair looked like in action? I can't imagine the range was very good. But man, I love this type of stuff. Like I when I first saw an old occluded red dot, I enjoy the progression of technology.
