In a way it is a bit of a dick move, I for one would have a much harder time shooting a dog than a......

"sir, what's the point of using a dog in a nuke fight, you just push a button!"

Easy fix...

10 dudes can be firing near an open microphone, and it's not loud enough to interrupt a conversation, and their targets look like they were shot with BBs from a shooting gallery. Are they using Airsoft guns?

Crap! They've advanced to "war dogs" on the military tech tree!  What's next, tarred pigs lit on fire?  Other ancient Roman trickery?  This is what you get when you put all of your research into nuclear weapons.  Other elements of your military remain 3,000 years behind the times.

The dogs were pretty cool, but those Norks are freakin insane.

They will still march 1000 peasants across the DMZ minefield to clear it before sending in the dogs.

Incendiary Pigs are no Downsing matter.

Can dogs bite through tanks?  They couldn't back in WWII, so I doubt German Shepherds can now.

Saborlas: It saddens me when dogs are trained to attack. It's such an asshole move.

I'm a positive reinforcement trainer. My dog thinks the "Grab the shouting guy by the arm and drag him" game is one of the best games ever. That was easy. Making sure it was 100% start/stop on command was the hard part. You can train a friendly happy guard dog that simply will not ever give up using praise and a tennis ball.

I doubt that's how the enlightened Best Korea trained theirs though. Assholes.

Soviet anti-tank dogs, strap bombs to them and teach em to crawl under tanks, then boom.

Didn't work out to well in actuality though.

at about 1:00, i love the background shooters.  shoot, clear jam, chamber a round, repeat.

no muzzle flare at 1:33ish, just smoke.
small holes in targets,

great dogs though.

"Norks" seems like it should be a D&D monster.  Maybe they ride into battle on their tamed gazebos.

In Australia, "norks" is slang for tittays.

Hey Fido, catch this.

Uhmmmm... after seeing the barrels on their pistols and rifles, I am beginning to see why .22LR ammo is so damned hard to find now.

Nickster79: staplermofo: We are screwed though, even their food can attack us.

Okay, my dog died this past week and I have been absolutely miserable...but that comment made me laugh out loud for the first time in a long while.

/thanks
//needed that

Sorry. :-(  Mine died last July. I miss him.

What do you call a North Korean with more than one dog???? A rancher.

Wait until they hear about Hannibal and his war elephants.

I'm pretty sure those dogs are the most well-fed people in North Korea.

Fixed the punctuation for ya.

Those were likely AK-74 rifles.  Same form factor as the AK-47, you are used to seeing/hearing about but chambered in 5.45x39 rather than 7.62x39.  The round is similar to our 5.56 round used in typical AR platform weapons.  The Russkies basically figured out that while 7.62 takes out a massive chunk of flesh, 5.45 runs a flatter balistic profile, allows for more rounds to be carried due to weight reduction, and maims/wounds rather than kills taking more people off the battle field per hit.

Those pistols, I'm not sure about.

What's sad to me is one of those dogs has a far better diet than any Nork peasant child.
