No, it's a solid piece of green plastic and, despite how it may look, I'm not covering any part of my left hand with the (fake) muzzle.

The fact that the file is named MuzzleFinger.jpg makes us all look bad.

True, the angle may be deceiving, that I will give you, but I see what I see in the picture. Please note that I also asked you to clarify that it is a fake gun, although the training guns that I am familiar with are not green.

To say that the name of the jpg makes us all look bad and not the visual, is ludicrous. :lol:

All this from a Military Branch smaller than the New York City Police Department…..




The Coast Guard played a significant role in securing Vietnam's 1,200-mile coastline. Some 8,000 Coast Guardsmen and 56 different combatant vessels were assigned to duty there. Coast Guardsmen destroyed enemy supply ships, supported ground units, rescued American and other friendly forces, and performed many more duties, including carrying out humanitarian roles which are common to the Coast Guard.

The patrol boats also worked with the Navy SEAL's and recon units. They also gave emergency support to Special Force's camps, transported personnel, evacuated wounded and provided naval-gunfire support. About two years into Operation Market Time, naval operations were extended further off-shore and expanded into the Gulf of Thailand.
As time went on, the Coast Guard was asked to increase its support and did so by providing five high-endurance cutters ranging in size from 255 to 378 feet. Coast Guard Squadron Three was born. The large cutters kept their peacetime white paint job instead of taking a coat of gray, like the patrol boats. They were quickly nicknamed "White Ghost" by the Viet Cong

Shortly after their arrival, Squadron Three ships began battling the Viet Cong. The cutter Rush, working with an Australian destroyer, brought its guns to the aid of a small Special Forces camp in the village of new Song Ong Doc. The village, located in the middle of Viet Cong held territory, was being overrun. Gunfire from the two ships drove off the attackers and left 64 Viet Cong dead. Like the patrol boats, the large cutters were multi-mission ships. They supported amphibious assaults and gave logistical support for Coast Guard patrol vessels and the Navy PFC's (Patrol Craft Fast).
By the time they left, Coast Guard cutters had cruised over 5.5 million miles, participated in nearly 6,000 naval gunfire missions, and boarded nearly 250,000 junks and sampans. They also helped stop more than 300 tons of ammunition from reaching the guns that fire at other Americans.

I never saw combat but I did serve aboard one of the most sophisticated anti-submarine warfare ships at the time. The USCGC Jarvis. However, the most action we saw from her torpedo tubes was launching basketballs into downtown Honolulu a ½ mile away.

Cobb, here's the evidence of Mac's safe handling of the Boberg model (Oleg's pictures are high resolution enough to make a wall sized poster) :)

My first post just asked for a clarification of what was in the picture and it seems that it went into defensive mode instead of presenting a simple explanation.

So mac is vindicated, that is good, all I was doing was making an observation. Just to note, the one steel shoot that I made this year mac was working as a SO and I thought he did good. Ask him, I even complimented him on it.

Maybe this photo should be in the back of our minds when we see videos or photos showing wrong doings, what you see is not what it is.....
