I'm guessing rifle grenade. | |||

My first thought about their being grenade launchers was that there didn’t appear to be any way to load and fire them. I’m glad we have some members here who could explain them. And although I wouldn’t place any bets on how well equipped and otherwise capable North Korean special operations troops might be, I suspect they take a backseat to no one in terms of physical toughness. I doubt that a country that blows people up with antiaircraft guns for being disrespectful to the man in charge would cut these guys much slack. ► 6.4/93.6 ___________ “We are Americans ….

Yeah, that article was a joke. He said that the rifle-grenades were fake. As if the NorKs are going to let their troops parade in front of 'dear leader' with REAL grenades. And he implied that those weapons might not even be loaded, due to an ammo manufacturing deficiency. Who CARES if those rifles, in that photo, are loaded? We KNOW they have a crap-ton of conventional small arms stockpiled. I don't know how US/Western armies do it, but I don't think that we would issue live ammo for this kind of parade, either. . . And he ridiculed their chrome-plated rifles. Again, this is a PARADE. The commies have all sorts of weird stuff they put on parade (like the Chinese obsession with white-wall tires on their vehicles). This isn't a front-line combat unit deploying to the front line - it's a PARADE. And then he mocked them for their SUNGLASSES? Again, I'm no grunt, but I can't imagine a 20-man ground unit being over-run by 100,000 NorKs and radioing in to HQ: "No worries, boss, we got this. They have helical mags, and don't even have effective ballistic eyewear.". . Fear God and Dread Nought Admiral of the Fleet Sir Jacky Fisher | |||

Looking at the expert's background it appears that he is a middle east expert and not a Korea expert. There is also something odd about his history link.. I can't put my finger on it and I think some more info is required. Personally, I recommend against under estimation of one's opponent. | |||
