The first gun they'll give me I'll aim at myself and be done with it.

You can aim it at your commanding officer first!

Throwing a grenade in a CO's tent is a tradition from Vietnam, and I'm hoping it makes a come back.

Turkish firearms have a protection on the trigger to prevent you from committing die

It's this triangle beyond the trigger that prevents you from accessing it if you're facing down the barrel
