You're as antique as the old guns you cling to.

yeah, be like the marines! they traded in their plastic fantastic futura blasters for a bunch of those "old antique guns". spent 22.5 million on em.  can anyone venture a guess as to WHY they did that?
I'll give you a hint: God created marines in order to kill bad people. it only makes sense that he'd give them an innate knowledge of the best tool to use to do that...

Don't kid yourself. Even Marines (God bless em all!) have to use what they're issued. It's some desk jockey th makes those decisions.

BTW, what plastic fantastic did the Marines use? The M9 is steel and aluminum.

It looks like a blinker fluid dipstick to me.
Or it could be a bolt stretcher shim.

That was only Marsof, not the Marines in general.  Different funding means different cool guy equipment.

I thought modern cars had sealed blinker assemblies with lifetime fluid.
