So much in here would make for brilliant bits of a shadowrun campaign. Not as the arms dealers themselves, but with the arms dealers as possible Johnsons. |

And here I thought, I was going to read something related to the Ares Stoner MP-LMG (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
Nice read, though, would make a nice movie I guess - and some nice adventureframes (including some face-work), too |

I love my country so much (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) For some reason I'm proud of all our weirdness.

Canada can learn some things, and teach some things, and is very apologetic about both. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

Drugs and high stress work environments seems to go hand in hand, and probably have since the dawn of time. Hell, Churchill was taking barbitates and self medicating with alcohol during WW2.
That we have less shooting wars just shows that there are must be a whole lot of cool heads further down the chain of command that is willing to risk a insubordination charge. Btw, the background of these boys are historically ironic to say the least... |

One is the son (iirc) of the guy who owns Botach Tactical, which is a legitimate, very aggressively priced and also very difficult to deal with police etc supply place in LA.

Ah, see, the ambition and firsthand experience with selling weapons is kinda precisely why I didn't find it ironic at all.
