Congrats, Socco! A good ole' German HK416 was responsible for parting Osama's mind from his face.

Actually, a very good most excellent source has it that Osama bin Ladin was brought to justice with a 5.56 weapon. In fact, I was told it was a Colt CM901. Well the whole 901 bit turned out to be a bad piece of info, but from a good source. However, UBL was gunned down using German engineering – the HK416 which was my gut feeling from the very beginning. This is confirmed to the point that I feel comfortable updating this story. Ultimately, as my readers have pointed out, it doesn’t matter what got him so long as he is dead.

Makes me want one of my own! The ultimate terrorist killer!

Every time I send a little 6mm plastic pellet across the field from my VFC HK 416, I will smile with pride. Thanks Mike, you made my day...
