Sorry to bother you, siris that thing real? Vance said to a newly armed member of the Ohio National Guard on a D.C. street corner, adding that he was a little scared, but if it wasnt any trouble, he would also love to feel the weight of the privates M4 rifle in his hands for a couple seconds. Boy, this puppy is way lighter than it seemsbet its got a loud bark, though! What is it, plastic? Metal? So this is the trigger, right? And this is the barrel? Hey Usha! Usha, come take my picture, please!
