"Jesus Rifles" Killing Jihadists. Or: "Holy ACOG, Batman!"

Some pics and video at the link.

Hmm. Killing in the name of Christ?

So much for 'love thy neighbor' eh?

You think Jesus was way up on a cross on a hill for no reason?
It was actually his sniper roost - at least that's what my version of The Good Book tells me.

I hadn't heard of this until yesterday. They were talking about it on a local talk radio show.

As a side note, Stonewall Jackson had a battery of 4 cannons that he called Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

I'm an atheist and I don't see anything wrong with a private comapany using bible verses as serial numbers... and I don't even see a problem with them selling those guns to the military. What's the big deal? It's not like anyone knew it at the time, so why are people bitching about it now?

This is news to me too, and I'm not likin' it.

Can I get one that says, "...and you shall know my name is the Lord, when I lay my vengeance up thee!"

This gives me a kick. Everyone is always talking about bucking pc and wanting the best person for the job, or the best tool for the job. Well, here it is, and a lot of folks are queing up to buck it, because it's not pc.

Our Army has ordered some of those too.

MoD is not a happy bunny with the whole crusade angle that could be used with this.

Given the sorry state of MOD procurement they probably won't take delivery until we're part of the Caliphate.

Can't say I give a shit. I nobody is forced to read or acknowledge some obscure little markings, and I doubt the manufacturer is tacking on a holiness surcharge. You'd have to be looking pretty hard for a reason to bitch in order to even care about this.

As if Jesus would need an ACOG. He'd be dropping bad guys at 500 meters using iron sights only.

And use a 1903A1!

You don't care that we're busy justifying the already widespread perception in the muslim world that the military actions in Iraq and Afghanistan are part of a holy war against islam? Whether or not that perception is accurate, encouraging it can only be a very bad thing. Why should be be doing the terrorists' recruiting for them?

Do you honestly believe I give a pinch of shit about anyone's irrational perceptions? How people choose to view something is their problem. It will not excuse or justify a single unprovoked attack or murdered innocent. The muslim world can just drag their own sandy ass cracks out of the fucking middle ages and recognize the fact that offending them or failing to pander to their perceptions is not a capital offense.

Why didn't the army ask what the numbers and letters meant during the procurement process?

Let the company put whatever they want on the thing but on military issue they shouldn't' have done it. Especially given where are troops are and given those who are anti-military would publicly broadcast this not giving a damn that the guys who attack our troops (and even the ones who work with our troops) are religious nuts.

RU trying to suggest UR rational?

Do you have a clue?

The only reason it's an issue is because of idiotic pieces of filth like yourself making it an issue.

Leach isn't the one making an issue of it. The media is.

That said Leach is right. It's a stupid thing to do. On items issued to the military there should be no silly nonsense like this.

What the company does with the ones sold to the public is fine.

*is waiting for Modern Warfare 2 ACOG patch*

Here's my question: couldn't they have chosen a name for the part that has a better acronym than ACOG, an acronym already taken by the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology? Or is this just supposed to be a hidden indication that the morons involved in this debacle are, at heart, just a bunch of pussies?

It seems like the only people bent out of shape over this are the typical PC nutters.

Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain . . .

Yeah, see, this didn't really nudge my eyebrows up a sillimillimeter...

Y'mean,...someone sprinkled an extra bit of stupid-dust on the mountain of stupid that is war in the first place?

Gawrsh!

Of course!
Of course they put their fairy tales on a killing weapon.
It's exactly what you'd expect a species of monkey barely out of the jungle to do.
Of course they did.

While we're at this shit, can we print the time indexes of the really good parts of "Arizona Bay", on jelly-dildoes?

Now that would be spiffy.

Or how about the page numbers of one of Paula Deen's cookbooks on a butt-plug?
Now there's some top-notch satire.

Exactly! Hit what you shoot at!

Having used this sight during my entire deployment and seeing the results it's capable of, I don't care if it has the entire bible in microscript all over it. It's damned rugged, holds a good zero, and an idiot can use it effectively. Not to mention that the ability to scan at x4 with your weapon alone is immensely helpful in finding both the enemy and the little surprises they like to hide for you.

This thread needs pictures:

That's good but I had to try my hand at it.
