?.. get my front teeth fixed. I chipped them after getting blown up by a recoiless rifle round...
Ok, I'm ignorant. The last time I fired a rifle was about 53 years ago, a WWII bolt action Enfield 303 (IIRC).So, how come a "recoiless" gun can hit you in the teeth? (Ouch.)
LOL Well, I wasn't firing the recoiless rifle. The U.S. hasn't had it in their inventory since Vietnam. The Taliban use a Russian made 82mm one. Now for how I chipped my teeth, that is a funny story. We had just came back from a Afghan National Police compound where we were interrogating a prisoner and I had to really use the bathroom bad. I was walking towards a Port-a-potty when the round from the Recoiless rifle hit it. The door flew off and hit me in the head which is how I chipped my teeth.
It was a good thing that I had to get a SPOT report out first or I would of been in the Port-a-potty when it was blown up. That would of been a real shitty way to go.
