There's something happening here

Children, what's that sound?

he named his helmet after Jenny but can't spell for shit

thats solvent for the rifle.

didn't you know the M16A1 was notorious for jamming because of gunk?

probably for shoe polishing, not gun.

Gump was a college graduate. Why was he not able to go in as an officer?

autism

Everybody look what's going down.

So how many VC did Gump waste?

He was too smart.

He didn't understand concept of bullets so probably not many

>VC
Dude, the preferred nomenclature is gooks

>Forrest literally fucking killed people
wtf Yea Forumsros

don't trigger my autism so late in the day.

I don't care about civilians, I just want to know about the enemy combatants.

Wrong war, gooks are korean. Not even an insult, hanguk = korean people. Charlie were slopes.

Oh sorry I meant M4A1

There's battle lines being drawn

What? The A1 was, ammo propellent got changed meaning the di system got fouled, no cleaning kit was issued, no FA, and iirc there was a buffer tube issue that meant you coukdnt open the rifle if there was a stoppage. SF favoured their swedish Ks for ages because of it.

M4 was long after the vietnam war. It was the CAR15 (colt commando) they used then, but that was mainly by SOF.

Nobody's right if everybody's wrong

>A1 was, ammo propellent got changed meaning the di system got fouled, no cleaning kit was issued, no FA, and iirc there was a buffer tube issue that meant you coukdnt open the rifle if there was a stoppage.
Wrong on all accounts

Go on then? The ammo was changed from the du pont spec it was trialled with, the XM16E1 went out with no cleaning kit or instructions and it definately had no FA. Whats wrong?

why do /k/ fags always need to autistically explain gun shit?
I came to this thread for a comfy song

>what's your name?
>Gump, Forrest Gump
>what's your middle name?
>don't have one
>who are your people?
>Don't have any
>You're now Forrest Solo Gump

SILVER SPOON IN HAND

Gook is correct for korean's not vietnamese but that doesn't mean american's didn't use the term interchangeably.

>Whats wrong?
He just realized he's been wrong all these years running his neckbeard mouth about guns, and is going to try to bury you in retardation to cover up for it.

Don't they use charcoal to clean teeth?

No, thats retarded.

G(NMI)

why would we brush our teeth with burnt wood dumbass hahaha retard

is that a vegan thing?

What the hell does that mean?

Shit no your right, getting my designations mixed up, the A1 fixed most of the issues with the original xme16e1. Fuck.

Because it's an abrasive, dummy. And it was used historically to clean teeth, it's known the Romans used charcoal mixed with other things.

Now who's the retard? I think it's you. Could be!

I really, really like this post.

Because he was such a damn fine enlisted man.
Lt. Dan specifically screams "Die, you chink sunofabitch!" I don't think they cared if they used the proper slurs.

My dad was 18 in 1971. He dropped out of college, and wasn't rich. How did he avoid the draft?

Attached: 1499885287239.png (900x900, 321K)

he had autism and passed it onto you

draft was a lottery mang.

some just got fortunate... son

He went off the grid and pretended to be a hippie, just like most hippies

He actually did do that in his dad's attic I guess...

oh yeah

Maybe.

iit aint me

military won't except spastics

I think it's just meant to be a silly visual.

Big military heroes wear ammo belts but Gump wears a toothbrush on his helmet.

Sneed's Feed and Seed formerly Chuck's Feed and Seed

Why not store it in the buttstock? The M16A1 had a storage compartment for your cleaning kit.

Because nothing in the movie ever explicitly shows he knows how to spell Jenny's name...

Romans tried out a lot of stupid shit to clean their teeth and a lot of it actually damages your enamel. Even the classic baking soda paste is bad for your teeth

It's a small plot point in the movie, by then he had already learned how to spell her name.

whole thing is G(NMI)F2/47
Gump (no middle initial), fucks 24 7

probably a play on when he brushed the bathroom floor with a toothbrush.

and, just like that, this became headcanon

Gump's the kind of tard that would uphold the grooming standard and keep his boots polished in a fucking jungle.

Did he formally drop out or did he just stop going to college?

I don’t do guns but wouldn’t this throw off the balance of the rifle?

gump is actually captain america

pol-ice

You do know SGMs do this to troll the fucking lower enlistees.

Fucking idiots. Did you even watch the movie?

11/10 would re-enlist in the infantry again.

Bubba also carried a toothbrush on the helmet, so Forrest most likely was just imitating him.

what do they do with guys who are just shitty weak infantrymen? do they have like the fuckup platoon that gets kept out of situations where they could do more harm than good?

>I don’t do guns
Confirmed

balance isn't real

they ship em off to HQ platoon or HQ Company.
someone has to do the admin/drive high ranking guys around.

We had a literal retard in our company for a while. We don't think he was actually on the spectrum, just THAT fucking stupid from living in a trailer park with his deadbeat parents for 18 years. I wish he was like Forrest, but boy was he on the opposite. From dunking his whole arm into boiling water for 2 entire seconds to reach a screw he dropped, to puncturing both eardrums with a Q-tip to try to clean out his ears, I have stories for days.
Fuck retards.

>I have stories for days
We're listening.

if you were a complete sociopath it sounds like you could have made some good money betting on this poor lad.

How long was Forrest in Vietnam? I always assumed he enlisted in 1965 and came home in 1967.

You're all wrong. Gook came from the Philippine–American War and has been used since to refer to all kinds of different orientals. It would also be used to refer to the natives during the half-colonial conflicts the US had in places like the Caribbean and Central America.

Americans used it to refer to the Filipinos, used it to refer to the Chinese in the yellow peril years, to the Japanese in WWII, the Koreans and Chinese in the Korean War and the Vietnamese in Vietnam. It was also used to refer to the Haitians during the US occupation, Nicaraguans during the Banana Wars and North Africans in WWII.

The slur exclusive to the Vietnamese was dink, which is what Lt. Dan is saying in that scene.

He supposedly enlisted in 1966 or 1967 and you're seeing him serve throught 1967 before getting shot.

dare I read the rest of this thread

Yes that's why suppressors, bipods, bayonets, and grenade launchers all went out of use

it applies camouflage to your teeth so you can smile without being detected

Nice digits

i'm english and what are these? types of sharpened egg?

It goes beyond just sewing Alpha chevrons onto his blues the night before the Marine Corps Ball. One weekend he goes on Libbo and buys a non-working dodge charger at a 22% interest rate. He was that obvious of a sucker. The fucking dealer in Carlsbad even charged him to tow it to Horno.
One time he ditched a cab in San Diego, but left his wallet in the fucking backseat. We know this because a dude in his Platoon ran into the Platoon officer's office the next day and said "Yo sir there's a guy with a bat here saying something about Cowgill, and comin to collect or something idk"
We went to a range that we had to fucking sleep at for some dumbass reason in Okinawa, and my poor buddy forgot to check EVERY PIECE OF GEAR his retard teammate SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT, so Cowgill didnt bring his sleeping bag, or tent, or magazines. Of course my buddy had to share his tent with him.
The only person that socialized with him was an equally retarded dude from Lima named Grumbles. Even their names... Cowgill and Grumbles. Jesus fucking christ.

There's a spec for this from 1962 (MIL-C-372) for whatever that day's CLP was.

>Cowgill and Grumbles
That sounds like an early 2000 Ben Stiller comedy. Ben Stiller isn't the one of the two, obviously, he plays the mean sergeant.

nah it's for the rifle, the brush you get with actual kits is similar to a toothbrush and nobody gives a fuck about well-maintained boots in the middle of the jungle or any other shitty area

t. zog warrior

This. Those brushes are used for cleaning firearms. They are not for teeth.

nobody said it was for teeth, is that you Forest?

checked

no non-retard gives a fuck

thats the later plastic rod kit

how in the fuck

why didn't he become a pro runnerback again?

ol meme

Because no one gave a shit about pro football back then.

well theyre on vietnam, so its probably used to clean their rifle while theyre on stand by in the battlefield

Early versions of the M16 was designed for IMR powder. The change to ball powder was responsible for gunk problems, and also cycling difficulties.

My dad lucked out. He was too young for Korea. He did sign up for ROTC. By the time Vietnam came around, he was working as a civilian contractor on a USAF base. The general running the site got his draft canceled because it was deemed it was more important he serve his country at the base. His job was was operating radar keeping an eye on Ruskie nukes over the horizon. This was up in the arctic, so it wasn't a picnic either.

what does G(NMI) mean on his helmet?

Sound like a bunch of slack jawed faggots.

It's fine he and his kid got AIDS at the end. Win win.
