Club the cute lil cuddly seal.
I am thinkin Mac was a radio operator or worked with actual seals in the Zoo.
Then again maybe we are overthinkin this.
The .308 Winchester round is essentially the 7.62x51 round fired in the old M-14 and M-60 platforms. Yes, you can argue the point that he could have described the round better but, technically, he is correct. The 7.62 (.308) is the caliber of the round and the 51 is the length
That all being said, I agree that he is another exmilitary hack that sold himself to the networks. There are a lot like him floating around wowwing and dazzling the uninformed masses - and making a lot of money doing it.
Also, let's not forget R. Lee Ermey, he managed to be in the USMC, become an actor and eventually television show host, all while fending off the douche bug.
His hand's in the way, but the neck of that cartridge appears to be almost the same diameter as the body just below the shoulder, suggesting a 7.62x39.Hard to tell from that video, but was he holding a .308 (7.62 Nato) or was it a 7.62x39?
.308 is not the standard round for the AK-47..the 7.62x39 is. I have never seen a bolt action that the bolt had to "be pulled all the way out" to put in another round. And every bolt-action sniper rifle I have ever seen was a repeter, not a single-shot.
Bingo
Edit: Doesn't this a**hole claim to have been a SEAL?
That would be embarassing, you make it all the way through BUD/S and SQT just to be a cook.The SEALS have cooks too you know....
