No the green bottle is what looks to be a smoke grenade or something similar... definitely not a bottle!

From what I can see of it, I am pretty sure I can see the speed loader style top and some individual pellets, I could easily be wrong though.

Re: Who is this guy?! Help please!

I am still not convinced these are real, something just seems so "wrong" about them, and also I agree with an earlier post I think you can see some bb pellets...

I'm pretty sure theyre not airsofters
Espically as this http://www.militarynewsnetwork.com/m...s/news1145.htm (7th photo down) identifies them as
"U.S. Army Spc. Brian Schenk, left, assigned to the 1st Battalion, 377th Headquarters and Headquarters Battery, pulls security with two Iraqi soldiers as part of a joint patrol with U.S. Soldiers in Najibiyah, Basra, Iraq. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Chrissy Best/Released)"

So definitely anything but bbs!

Coul just as easily be bottle of water?
I see no hydration pack on his rig.

and it also worries me that the Iraqi soldier has his finger set on the trigger, though it could just as easily be the light. its awkwardly shadowed

Looks to me like it's near the trigger, but not on it.

I'm starting to think it's legit. It's just too bloody detailed for a shoop.

Looks to me like it might be a L83A1 training smoke grenade (text colour and size seems to match as does the housing colour).

Novelty, or traded with a SEAL at some point.

We are beating a dead horse now guys. It is a real photo of serving soldiers. The evidence has been provided.

Re: Who is this guy?! Help please!

Does iraq even have special forces? O.o wouldnt the closest thing be Saddams personal royal elite guard or whatever they were called, who all buggered off along with him when things went tits up?
