"Critique my firearm picture" thread

No gun here, but an interesting shot. As I said, this was me, just seeing something cool, then pulling a cheep camera (little square digital Nikon, sold at PX) out of my pocket, and snapping the shot. I'm thinking the first Post 9/11 deployment, but it could have been the 04-06 Iraq one. Sometimes it just works. Now I want to learn how to MAKE it work when I want it to.

DM, if you can get into File Properties, your camera should have saved Date Created as part of the metadata, that might help narrow the when/where. No critique to offer, but def a cool pic.

Forgot about going into "properties". Friday, ‎October ‎19, ‎2001, so it's the first post 9/11 deployment. In Oct we were still at Ali Al Salem, in Kuwait.

This is my Colt 6940 Monolith with a Vltor E-Mod Stock, Ergo Tactical Grip, Harris Bipod, Leatherwood M-1000 ART Scope, (old school "long range" scope). It's one of my better AR's. I was trying to show off the Clinton era roll markings on the magwell. (RESTRICTED cops only, hide the women and kids, and all that). It didn't turn out very well, because I took the photo with my crappy little Sony Cybershot camera. Good when I bought it, but a certified POS by today's standards. (I'll admit I need a new camera). I envy some of the photos I see here. Afterward I realized the box of Remington brass shotshells had about as much place in that picture as a Kitchen Aid Mixmaster. The more I look at it, the less I like it.... (The picture, not the gun).

Just for giggles here is my Kimber 8400 Police Tactical in .300 Win. Mag. in the kitchen. No Kitchen Aid Mixmaster however. But you can dig on the Jack LaLane Power Juicer in the background. (Same crappy Sony Cybershot).

I can remember using The Rock to stage and run patrols. If you ever got outside the main gate, you could see the cluster bomb damage. It would have been a bad day to be out in the open when those strikes came in. The damage to the hardened shelters the French made for their aircraft from our penetrators was impressive as well. Somewhere I've got pics of me in them with my belt fed.

That rug and metal tin aren't helping that pic any, neither is the uneven lighting....
