His arms, hands, and neck were covered in ink, saying some words that have potential to scare someone. On each of his fingers besides his thumbs, were tattoos that said “Dead Thug”. Another tattoo was a clown that looked to be in the sights of a sniper crosshair. Thirteen to fourteen year olds were seeing these images everyday, and if we were to look him up, more disturbing photos would appear. He had an intimidating face and his photos were spine-chilling. During his small shows, because…

It was a cold brisk morning when my squad and I started our journey to Gallipoli, there were three young guys in front of me, with five others behind. We were all waiting silently, some of us were looking out for enemy snipers and mines in the water. Were about to hit the beach, I can hear gunshots and people shouting “medic!” at that moment a bullet whizzed passed skimming my helmet.All the sudden bullets were coming left right and center, “get down, we're taking fire” it was too late for some…

The AK-47 has become known as a “bad guy gun,” due to the fact many terrorists and gangs use these rifles commonly. Many people believe that AR is the abbreviation of Assault Rifle.

I encourage you not to quit playing after 5-10 games and say you hate…

One of the gadgets used by soldiers was the Trench periscope. This allowed soldiers to see over the trenches without the risk of getting shot at. It also allows them to pick a target for their snipers. Even though this gadget was handy, it was not assigned to the soldiers. If they needed it, they would have to buy it for themselves.
