Hand signals

[Dangerous]

A second look at hand signals, as used by pansy American special police teams.

http://www.unconventional-airsoft.com/information/handSignals.php

[piglet]

There's 2 sets of hand signals on the intel page of milsimsolutions.com...........probably pansy American special police teams.

Who was the person who said they were doing SWAT training? How about posting up your hand signals and comms procedures - I'm sure it wouldn't be a security risk.......well pretty sure anyway..... ;-)

[Dangerous]

That was a certain American friend that lives in Arizona.....

[Tunde]

We will see how pansy it is when we knock down your door, throw in a flashbang and have you cuffed on the floor, crying, with soiled panties, in less than 5 seconds.

[Dangerous]

Has anyone actually viewed the link I submitted? The reason why I am calling them 'pansy' will become apparent....

[Tunde]

oh i saw it, real funny. I'd watch it Dangerous, we got nukes and stuff. Or worse than that, the government might send me after you.

[Dangerous]

It's ok, we have Steve Irwin.

"Crikey"

[TagFerret]

OMFG, ROFL!

That is some funny ^%$#%# right there..... my buddy (an Oakland CA SWAT team sgt.) is gonna love this.... :D

"Be Quiet for Once In Your Goddamed Lives, Already" -- that one is going into the tactical operations manual for sure!

[Leo]

Omg I can't believe you brought Steve Irwin into this, I swear a crocodile is just gonna go screw it and swallow him whole one day... I hope.

Haha Yea-mean showed me those pics.

[fukkenuziman]

Never thought that being a silly MF could make you so famous.
hmmm...

someone should make the Steve Irwin book of hand signals. One hand can be
signaling, but he'll always have a croc latched on to a limb somewhere.

Gorgeous!!

(both hands in the air waving wildly)"CRIKEY, THIS ONE'S GOT ME BY THE WILLY!!!!"

LMFAO

[fukkenuziman]

Now that would be a sight!! LOL

[Sinistrahd]

Now that would be a sight!! LOL

OK, I couldn't sleep, so here:

[Rommel]

Hand Signals to Steve Erwin. Can we include Paris Hilton in this?

[Leo]

lol... 'This one features Paris giving Steve a one-fingered salute.' :p

[Rommel]

The classification level for this post has now reached MA+15 or maybe a bit higher.

[Leo]

Yeah that usually happens when Paris Hilton is involved. :p

[Rommel]

And don't forget the drop in IQ of all parties involved.

[Leo]

That could be quite dangerous for some
of the people here. ;)

[Rommel]

In the words of Leo, *Whoosh*

[Leo]

It would be dangerous to see some people's IQ drop any lower than it already is? :p

[fukkenuziman]

OK, I couldn't sleep, so here:


OMG Sinistrahd, I hadn't looked at this thread for a
while, and didn't see you had posted this pic. LOL That is a nice start to the official S.Irwin Handbook! Good work. :D

[Rommel]

It would be dangerous to see some people's IQ drop any lower than it already is? :p

:stupid:

:D

[Leo]

Rommel, don't be mean. fukkenuziman isn't that bad. :p

[Rommel]

No, I mean't you! LOL

The arrow was pointing too the quote from you.

[fukkenuziman]

yeah, back up off me Rommel! LOL

Leo, what do you mean I am not THAT bad? Wait til you visit AZ!! :boxing: hehehe

[Leo]

lol You'll have to wait until Tunde's finished, I think he's planning to drag me off to do some shooting. *tremble*

[fukkenuziman]

We are both taking you shooting... Good times await! :D

[Leo]

I'm scared. Tunde was telling about what's in store today, lol.

[fukkenuziman]

Nah, don't be scurred... you'll cut loose with an MP5, fully auto, and all will be right in the world. LOL

It's too bad that you won't be able to partake in the night life thought, um... so we could work on our hand signals...yeah... (still on topic LOL) :D

[Rommel]

What? What? What?

[Leo]

lol Yeah, how bout those hand signals...

Do any of you guys even use them? I just like point or wave my arms around to get my message across. :p

(Rommel, I am NOT stupid.) :furious:

[Tunde]

There's 2 sets of hand signals on the intel page of

SWAT hand signals are pretty much the same as the military but they vary from each department. Each team has some signals that they invent for certain things. It is not uniform across the board.

[Rommel]

(Rommel, I am NOT stupid.) :furious:

What did i do?

[Leo]

:stupid:

:D

!!!! ^^^ That.

[Rommel]

You aren't stupid.

[Leo]

I know. :p Ditzy on occasions... but not stupid. :)

[fukkenuziman]

Well what girl isn't ditzy on occasions?LOL :D

[Tunde]

I'm sure he just meant that it was stupid of you to think, for even a second, that you can come close to competeing against me on the battlefield.

[Leo]

I'm going to assume you typed that in your sleep, cuz that's the only place that could ever happen. :p

[fukkenuziman]

I imagine that we can sort this argument out soon enough. Well, if Leo still plans to pay us a visit and hasn't gotten scurred...

Oh, and for the record... Tunde doesn't sleep. He is a freak of nature that has no use for the rejuvinating effects of a nice slumber.

[Tunde]

Sleep, food, shelter is for the weak. All i need is my field knife and I will be fine. Who needs sleep when you can hang upside down blindfolded trying to field strip and put back togeter your weapon in record time.

[fukkenuziman]

Or change out chips in an arsenal, or drain and recharge batteries in an aresenal, or sight in an arsenal...all in record time! (overnight LOL ) This is why Tunde is my right hand man! I need sleep. :D

[Leo]

It's official, I'm coming to visit you in Vegas. :P

[fukkenuziman]

Ah, that is good news for sure!

[Leo]

I should hope so. Be warned, I'm going to be psycho. I finally get a chance to travel outside of Australia. :p

[fukkenuziman]

Oh god... you're not going to be all giddy like a school girl are you?

TUNDE...(yells accross the room) get a Tranq dart ready! :D

[Tunde]

Dude, I'm scared. what if she charges us, like a rhino? I don't think a tranquilizer will do any good, she is way too fiesty. Sounds like a job for Steve Irwin, Croc hunter.

[Leo]

I can't believe you just said that. I'm going to have to hurt you now.

[fukkenuziman]

what have we got here....? a yellow striped cottonmouthed razor backed southwestern whino rhino? let's have a look inside that vicious muzzle...in between all those razor sharp teeth... GORGEOUS!!!

[Builty]

Crikey!!!!!!!

[Tunde]

I can't believe you just said that. I'm going to have to hurt you now.

Oh crap, run, run for your lives, a leo on the loose. Head for the hills. Obviously, this Leo doesn't know a thing about the wild west. Not a good idea to mess with modern day regulators. The real life modern day Wyatt Earp and Doc Holiday. Tyler, round up the posse. Its time to go lion hunting.

[fukkenuziman]

lion, liger, siamese, persian, calico... they're all the same. Ghost in the darkness ain't no thang! I am more worried about tangling with a Jack-a-loupe than I am a leo...

http://www.dickinson.edu/departments/geol/images/jackalope.JPG
thems sukkaz gots horns!! eee-yah

[Leo]

Hm we'll see, Tunde. We'll see.

[Tunde]

I just hope you have all your shots, cause you look like a biter to me.

[Leo]

Who told you?! :furious:

[Tunde]

no one needed to tell me, i could tell by the blood dripping from your fangs.

[Leo]

Oh yeah, that. :p I promise I won't bite anyone. I'm fairly sure I'm above that... lol

[fukkenuziman]

...please keep hands and feet (and teeth) inside the ride at all times...

girl, I will break that pink P90 if you start biting!

[Tunde]

Oh yeah, that. :p I promise I won't bite anyone. I'm fairly sure I'm above that... lol

Ok, I'm trusting you on that one, but just to let you know, I have Steve Irwin on speed dial. And i think I will wear my shark bit suit just in case.

[Thorin]

I know why you have Irwin's number on speed-dial. You fancy his missus. You know, the one that can't act.

[fukkenuziman]

LOL... no need for her to act, she just there for her looks and ratings.

[Tunde]

I know why you have Irwin's number on speed-dial. You fancy his missus. You know, the one that can't act.

I think you have that backwards, maybe she fancies me. I mean everyone has to have that booty call number. So while Stevey is off wrestling crocs in the wild, well i don't like where I'm headed with this. It was gonna be something about Alabama and snakes fmj we all know what i'm talking about. I'm just gonna stop this while i still can.

PS, we are long, long way from hand signal. I'm blaming Leo for the record

[fukkenuziman]

yeah, since we can't make FULL sense of Tunde's rantings... we'll just blame Leo! Good plan... :D

[Leo]

That's it. Blame the innocent one. I know a good hand signal for this situation! :furious:

[Tunde]

well now aint that a witty retort

[Thorin]

Now now, we'll have none of that. There are children here. But I agree, blame it on Leo.

[Leo]

:furious: Yeah I'll remember that.

Are you coming up on Sunday?

[Thorin]

Maybe, dunno yet. Depends on if your nice to me or not.

[Tunde]

That's it. Blame the innocent one. I know a good hand signal for this situation! :furious:

Well, I got a nice joke about hand signals but I'll have to tell you the punchline when you get to Arizona.

Q:What did the five fingers say to the face???

[Leo]

What are you talking about Thorin, I'm always nice. Everyone knows that.

Tunde, I'm not sure I'll be coming to shoot (with) you for quite a while.

[fukkenuziman]

Are you not coming out here in January now?

[Tunde]

yeah, wtf?

[Leo]

wtf what, ill get out of Australia eventually. :) But for now it's enough to be busy with the new biggest, busiest battlefield in the world. :p

[Thorin]

What, you coming to the Gold Coast? SHE HAS SEEN THE LIGHT.

[Tunde]

wtf what, ill get out of Australia eventually. :) But for now it's enough to be busy with the new biggest, busiest battlefield in the world. :p
so you're not coming? Are you scared? I bet you are.

[Leo]

You're so funny Thorin. How many guns does GC have? Thought so. How much business does GC get? Thought so. :)

Tunde: I wish I could come but apparently plans have changed. :(

[Thorin]

How many clan members does GC have that anr't scared to participate in an inter-city war? Thought so.

On second thoughts, how many clans does brissie have at all? I believe it's nothing compared to us. And I agree with you about the number of guns GC has currentlly ... 45, I think. But generally speaking, almost all of them are used almost every session, so as for business, GC does pretty well.

[Leo]

Pity you weren't at the mini tourney on Sunday, then.

[Thorin]

I'll admit it is a shame I couldn't attend, but duty called. I was going to come, but I was down in Braodbeach, living the good life with an indoor pool, spa, sauna, steam room, gym, outdoor pool and tennis court.

[Stone]

LMFAO I saw u and Bj pulling into the maccas at hvale WHEN I WAS GOING UP TO THE FKIN TOUNRY WITH BANDIT AND BINGERS!

[Thorin]

Thats right, I was hungry. Broadbeach was after that.

[Tunde]

what the heck is maccas?

[Leo]

lol @ Stone... how suprising.

OMG AN AMERICAN ASKING WHAT MCDONALDS IS?

[Rommel]

"MMMMMMMMMMMm MMMMMMMMM emm MMMMMMMMMM its mac time"
It was because of this tune.

[Stone]

Well dw Romel and Yea-Man fileld your spot marveously or howeveru spell it.

[fukkenuziman]

OMG AN AMERICAN ASKING WHAT MCDONALDS IS?

Wait a second... "Maccas" = Mcdonalds? WTF? How is that supposed to be obvious? That's like us sayin that were gonna blaze on over to the Colonel's. (not sure if ya'll have his southern country fried, special recipe havin, extra crispy ass over there or not)

[fukkenuziman]

Oh and BTW... Tunde and I had to bust out using hand signals this past weekend. We were running some urban missions at night with an elite crew. Well, Tunde's radio died and we were left without coms, so we had to go old skewl from then on out. We ended up taking the opposing force down and knowing we did it without coms made the victory that much sweeter!
<edit>
Oh, and it was only Tunde and I vs. 5 others. Just re-validating that we kick ass!
<\edit>

[Tunde]

maccas is McDonalds? WTF? Would you Aussies speak some bloody English for once, or is that just some more teenage slang you youngins done cooked up?


and yes, we do kick ass. \/\/o07, 2 1337 (that one was for u stone, that one was for you)

[Rommel]

Everybody knows that the Colonel is used to refer to KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken for the yanks). The 'slang' is delevoped by advertising agencies of the corporate giants.

[Tunde]

well, no one in the States has ever reffered to Mickey D's as macca. But whatever works in oz, i suppose

[Stone]

If you say McDonalds everytime you mention mcdonalds.. your a fkwit MACCAS is the only way to go hmk

[Tunde]

Dude, i swear, if you had been able to come to the states and calle McDonalds MACCA no one would have known what you were talking about. Then when you told us, we would have laughed our asses off at you until you started to cry. Then we would have laughed at you crying like a little pansy.

[Stone]

Umm no actually.. most yanks i know from games n shit they all know the slang word macca's becuase of us aussies spreading the word so if you had a of laughed i would have given you and your posse the 1 fingerd salute then while your laughing if i ahd the avlible rescources i would have snapped a metal bar over your head and then i would have stolen your wallet..

..|.,

[Leo]

You guys are so stupid. It's maccas, everyone calls it maccas... even the old farts. So meh.

[Stone]

Ahh wait Leo was that directed at me too lol? :\

[Tunde]

Stone, you forget one thing. I got guns and know how to use em. Your metal pole would be on the ground laying in a pool of your blood before you knew what hit you. Thats beyond th point though, the point is most Americans have never heard of it called maccas.

[Leo]

Blah blah metal poles, guns, who cares. Again, you guys are so stupid. Arguing over what to call a fast food restaurant has come to blabbing about weapons, violence and other crap. Pfft, males.

[Tunde]

There is no argument. Just reminding who he is dealing with,and he'd be wise not to forget it. I was also just letting ya'll know Americans don't call it macas. Plain and simple.

[Stone]

LOL! I will forget it easy as piss.. Btw Leo whats wrong with talking about guns and metal baseball bats? THEY ARE FUN1

[Leo]

Thats funny cuz everytime Lateo's been to America, everyone he's talked to about maccas has known what it is. :p

[Dangerous]

maccas, weapons, america, violence, testosterone etc etc. Anything to do with hand signals? :)

[Thorin]

Whats this thread got to do with hand signals?

And Tunde, Guns are for show, knives for a pro.

[Rommel]

this has totaly gone away from the topic of hand signals, i might split it.

[Leo]

Does anyone even know where the one fingered salute originated from? Probably not.

[Thorin]

I know where the 1 finger salute and the 2 finger salute is from, both from the same era. 13 centuary france.

[Leo]

hm come on then, what's the full story?

[Dangerous]

Yes, please split. I think it was only the first two or three posts that were actually on topic. The rest could be entitled "Weapons, Macca's and Testosterone".

[BaalZBub]

The 2 finger salute was a gesture the English longbowmen would give to their French enemies accross the field of battle. The reason was, as the English were defeated, the French would cut-off the two fingers required to pull back the English longbow from all captured longbowmen (preventing them from ever being a longbowmen again). So as a gesture of defiance the English would greet the French with the gesture 'See, I still have mine'.

[Thorin]

Actually they cut off one finger, the index finger. The French would taunt the English with the 1 finger salute to say "This is all you will have when we are finished with you"

[Leo]

I heard it was because the English invented a patch to go over their index finger when they were arching, so it didn't scrape and cut the skin... and that they flaunted their un-scathed fingers in a way which has come to be known as the 'one fingered salute'.

[Thorin]

No, it's the French thing. Besides, the fingertab ( patch you are talking about) covered all shooting fingers, so the middle finger would be covered too. And I would not be suprised if the ring finger was used during shooting too, because I shoot a 52 pound longbow and it's hard enough with 3 fingers, let alone two. And the English were shooting bows at 110 pounds. Thats why most of them were deformed. 1 side of their body became really built up and the other didn't. Anyway, thats my history lesson over.

[Rommel]

Didn't I tell you that one Thorin?

[Stone]

No Ballzub got it...

[Thorin]

I was told that one while at the Archery club.

[Tunde]

I suppose this thread is back on topic now. There really are all sort of things we communicate by hand gestures. Like the military salute, and the handshake. Most people don't know what the original meaning of a lot of customary hand gestures are.

[Leo]

Like what?

[Tunde]

Like the two things i just mentioned. The military salute and the handshake.

[fukkenuziman]

Perhaps a more practical origin of the handshake comes from medieval Europe, where kings and knights would extend their hands to each other, and grasp the others hand as a demonstration that each did not possess concealed weapons and intended no harm to the other

[Tunde]

The military salute comes from Knights also.

[Rommel]

More on handshakes. In Thailand you shake the other person's right hand because they wipe their arse with their left (without using paper)

[Leo]

Lovely, Rommel. :/

[Tunde]

well its true

[Rommel]

Do you want to know more info about the toilets over there?

[Dangerous]

Nope, know enough about them. Once you have pee'd into an open drain, you've pee'd into them all. The experience doesn't change.

[Rommel]

LOL they aren't that bad.

[fukkenuziman]

Hey, we all have some nasty bathrooms I'm sure. Go to a stadium here and you end up peeing in an open trough thing... gets nasty!

[Tunde]

ok, we're talking about just a hole in the ground. Nothing but a hole in the ground and you're over here complaining about troughs.

[Colin]

Troughs are a mans saviour! Go to any big event (like a concert of something) and check out the womans line for the toilets. Us men barely have to wait for a toilet and the woman have to wait ages! I say YAY for the troughs!

[Andy in Indy]

The military salute comes from Knights also.

It comes from the lifting of a helmet visor so that you could verify that the person in the armor was who they appeared to be.

-Andy in Indy

[Pooh Bear]

100% correct Andy.

[Rommel]

I still think it orginated from the archers.

[Thorin]

You guys have watched The Last Castle too many times.

[Thorin]

Not a hand gesture, but I know where the "cheers" gesture comes from. Anciant Rome. There was rumours that there would be an assasination attempt on a nobleman at a dinner party with poison in the wine.. So, when all the wine had been poured, he walk around to every guest and did the "cheers" gesture. While he did so, he poured alittle of his wine in the persons glass, so if they didn't drink the wine, they knew it was poisioned and the nobleman would arrest them. There's alittle useless information for ya all.
