Me and my M4 Carbine

We-ell, it's not actually mine.

Thanks to Wowoo for letting me experience how it feels to hold a real weapon (I'm told that this is the kind used by US Marines) in my hands.

It's heavy, man! My arms would have become toned if I had held on to it for a couple of hours more, or so. The thought actually appealed to me, but I simply couldn't bear the weight. The longest that I could hold it up was five minutes, max. I couldn't imagine how soldiers manage to actually run around carrying this thing.

*thanks, Mae, for the photos.
