Social Sciences - Military / Defense | | English term or phrase: cal gunners, cal jammed | Literally, one of the 50 cal gunners in my shop, his 50 cal jammed. He was the last guy. They had bypassed him, and then they finally saw the FARP. I guess part of them broke off to hit the FARP. Well, the FARP had actually set up an L-shaped ambush, so when they came in it was a fight to the death. The kid on the 50 was just waxing people. His 50 jammed as the last guys were trying to do 3-second rushes on him and he tried to go for another weapon and the last guy came up and killed him. But there was one guy left.
Gracias por las ideas, yo ya no tengo.... |

Normalmente no se dice la ametralladora calibre .50 si no la ametralladora .50 o simplemente la .50 que ya se sabe que se refierea a una ametralladora cuya calibre es .50 de pulgada.

Me parece que se habla de artilleros y no de ametralladora por el adjetivo posesivo "his" Evidentemente se habla de una persona (la que opera la ametralladora que en el lenguaje militar se llama artillero) |
