Post by: Major Lord on April 28, 2011, 07:43:43 PM
Would you carry a Glock ET17169  on a ground team or in your vehicle?

I see what you did there...

We have something like that in our squadron van, so I guess the answer is yes.

Before this gets crazy, the Glock Major Lord speaks of is just a shovel (entrenching tool)


And yes I do cary a camp shovel,

useful for anytime nature calls in the woods, or killing a snake, but that's another story.

No. I prefer one with a cross handle on the end.

Maybe, but a Smith & Wesson Bullseye might be more useful.

I have one of these tools.  The little saw stored in the handle is kind of handy for cutting small branches (think "expedient antennas").  I haven't dug a foxhole for a LONG time, but it did come in handy on a few occasions when porta-potties were just a distant dream.   ;)

I didn't think they even made those anymore. Quick check on their website indicates "yes", they still do.

Do you have the "full auto" conversion on your S&W Bullseye?

I'd go with the CH-629 in your main, with the CH-200 as your drop, though the FRK looks like it would make a great off-duty carry.
