What's supposed to be odd about this?

What's supposed to be odd about this?

Many are already being used but these have gone mainstream with Big Army and I did not say anything was odd in the post..

G18s are kind of a retarded gun, that makes it odd to me

[Suvorov]

Pretty small order. I imagine these will end up arming "allied" troops much like earlier orders of Sigmas and Sig SP2022s. Look for Kurds to be sporting Glocks soon.

[Chuck Haggard]

A lot of US .mil special guys are carrying G19s overseas.

[Odin Bravo One]

Lots more will be.

And why only three? Maybe somebody added some toys to the order.

I'd guess the G19's are for various special operations people headed overseas, or maybe some REMFs with shoulder holsters who want to look badass.

Curious...why the 19 over the 17 for the high-speed folk?

Tons of fun, though!
