Now that they think they have caught the D.C. sniper, we are beginning to hear loads of bullshit.

To begin with, CNN was making a big deal over the fact that the suspect shot Expert with the M-16 while in the army. So what? The '16 is an easy weapon to fire, and every soldier has ample opportunities to shoot the required 36 out of 40.

Secondly, I heard a talking head describe DOOM as a "sniping game." Right. Last time I looked, sniping does not involve automatic weapons and pulse cannons.

A gen-u-ine prototype CAR-15.

(The stock extends and the very short barrel/triangular handguards are obvious.)

(Want one!)
