and make it a home defense gun. It could even be converted and become an AR-15 chambered in .22 long rifle; this weapon is clearly adaptable to any situation that the end times can throw at you. Another incredibly modular weapon is the MP-5. If you could get your hands on an SD mod, you would have an almost undetectable spy-like weapon.

Fear is not something that can be weighed such as a "standard M-16 gas-operated assault rifle" or an "M-79 grenade launcher" (1179). This undeniably displays the pressure that the war had on the soldiers. The act of the soldiers carrying fear shows that they are just boys. The things they carry come to symbolize the fear they bear. "20 pounds of ammunition…

When reading both Gourevitch’s text about the effects of the Rwandan genocide and reading Bana’s letter where he expresses how he takes responsibility for his crimes, both readings reveal ideas of responsibility and complicity.
