Name That Gun: IDF Edition

I got a Tweet from IDF Women asking which of their umpteen photos should be their new Facebook profile pic. So I paddled down their photo stream looking for something suitably dramatic. There were images of women and guns stretching all the way back to the Jewish state’s birth (the images not the women). Here’s one that stood out. Whaddat? [NOTE: The image above has been changed by popular request. The original photo is in the gallery; first one after the jump below. So the comments may seem a little confusing. Sorry but we all must suffer for our art . . .]

  1. The MG [after the jump] isn’t a Dror, and receiver looks off for M1919. Going to bother me now…

    Edit: I _think_ it’s a PK.

  2. No idea on the heavy gun, but I sure like the female sniper image. Just something about the grand equivalence of a 110 pound woman putting on a long-distance smack down.

  3. aahh the memories….
    I like all of them but I am partial, biased, and well yeah…
    You know it is bad when you start looking for their tags to see where they are at lol

  4. I REALLY like the symbolism of the young lady, in the military, slinging a combat rifle, with a smile on her face…. voting.
    That just has wow factor all over it.
    Oh, I agree, MAG-58.

  5. Member of the nomenklatura can bend the rules if it is for the good of the people. Much ado about nothing. Go home comrades, nothing to see here.

  6. A more effective display would be ten criminals hanging behind her since the guns needed help committing the crimes. But that would offend the Core Voting Block.

  7. Maybe someone should design one with EVERY “military feature” that Feinstien bitches about…just to piss her off and give her more heart burn. Give it like like 6 bayonet lugs and 2 pistol grips lol.

  8. M-16/AR-15, for being the most popular rifle in America, and it’s extraordinarily long service with American armed forces.

    FN FAL, for being the rifle of the western world during the Cold War.

    AK-47, self explanatory.

    Uzi, watching action movies as a child in the 80’s, it was the coolest gun ever, I wanted to be chuck Norris dual weidling uzi’s and taking out bad guys. Everyone knows the Uzi when they see one.

    MP5, another instantly recognizable gun. Like the Uzi, even people that have no interest in firearms know the MP5. Arguably one of the most widely used firearms. There’s not one gun guy that wouldn’t have the MP5 on the bucket list of guns to shoot before they die.

  9. Wow, aren’t they generous! Buy our product, then at your own expense modify it so we can sell it and make millions! Dollars to donuts they’ve fired their research department and are willing to pay some schlep to do the work for a pittance!

  10. I have not ever, nor will I ever, vote for this evil person. If I die, I will take measures to ensure that neither my corpse nor my memory votes for her as well (there is no voter ID in CA).

    If there is a campaign to expose the crimes this woman has committed, I would joyfully contribute to it.

  11. Working in the web and media world the past ten years this reminds me of a “Design Our Logo” contest that cheap and/or poor companies run to get free artwork done for them. I never could stand it and this is no different. They are asking you do put in a lot of time and money for something you lose the rights to.

    No Thanks.

    If you want me to work for you hire me. But hey, you get what you pay for. I hope this contest crashes and burns.

    • But you get 5k in Ruger products!!! Think of how many receivers that would buy so you’d then have to turn around and spend tens of thousands on Volquartsen and Tactical Solutions parts since they do it better than Ruger.

  12. The last thing I was expecting to see was that fat tub of shit Schultz. Never knew he owned a gun. Makes no difference, he supports and votes for the party that would disarm us all. The fact he owns a firearm is irrelevant.

  13. Eddie is a major league asshole, his band sucks. I have always hated him and always will. Local radio has been playing his new shit constantly and it needs to stop.

    Though I will give him this, his sound has not changed since the 90s. Still that same dying moose bellow through the whole tune. Unfortunately, liberal twits think that is music.
