That whole clip of OJ Simpson adding attachments to his gun until it ends up like this is pretty funny. I also like the nod to him in the new movie where all the officers are crying in front of their father's portraits except for the OJ Simpson one where the guy's just like "nah" and walks away from it.

In 1963 a revolution began in Oman which sought to topple the government of the Sultunate of Muscat and Oman, which was backed by the United Kingdom. During the revolution, a communist guerrilla organisation was founded in 1968 called the Popular Front for the Liberation of the Occupied Arabian Gulf (PFLOAG). The PFLOAG sought to establish an independent and democratic republic with a socialist economy.

Knowing that their battle rifles would not be of full use until the guerrillas were closer than the weapon's range of 800 metres, and lacking heavier firepower, Sergeant Talaiasi Labalaba made a run for the 25 Pounder Artillery Piece, which was positioned next to a smaller fort manned by nine[citation needed] Omani Army Special Forces soldiers, who had not played a part in the battle. The Omani policeman who was guarding the weapon had been seriously wounded. Talaiasi Labalaba managed to operate the weapon, which is a six-man job, by himself and fire a round a minute at the approaching guerrillas, directing their attention away from the BATT house. Kealy received a radio message from Talaiasi reporting that a bullet had hit his face, he was badly injured, and was struggling to operate the gun on his own.
