I really tried to find a question I could answer without googling, but I wasn't sure on those I might have been able to answer. So I'll just do the first one instead. _{^{In shame.}}

Definatly up for this. Been looking forward to ARMA 3 for ages now

How many pre-fire checks are there for the M136 AT4 and what are they?
There are 11 pre-fire checks:

    The rear seal, a brown acrylic plastic plate inside the venturi, is in place and undamaged.
    The transport safety pin is in place and fully inserted.The lanyard is attached to the transport safety pin and the launcher. The lanyard should already be wrapped around the launcher clockwise and the transport safety pin inserted in the retainer hole counterclockwise.
    The cocking lever is present and in the SAFE (uncocked)position.
    The plastic fire-through muzzle cover is in place and undamaged. If it is torn or broken, cut it out and check the launch tube to ensure it is clear of foreign objects. Remove any that you find by turning the tube muzzle downward and gently shaking the launcher.
    The launcher has the correct color-coded band.
    The sights function properly. Open the sight covers to ensure the sights pop up and are undamaged.
    The forward safety does not move when you depress it.
    The red trigger button is not missing.
    The launcher body has no cracks, dents, or bulges.
    The carrying sling is not frayed and is attached firmly to the launch tube.
    The shoulder stop is not broken or damaged, and it unsnaps and folds down.

Sort of. These are some of the questions from the study guides available to soldiers. It encompasses the most frequent 300 questions soldiers have to answer at promotion boards. I cherry-picked the ones that I could answer(verify) off the top of my head. It's funny how much semi-useless information you retain.

And yes, the idea was to add to some of the soldier immersion inherent in a military simulator.

What is the basic load of ammunition for the M4?

210 rounds in 7 magazines, 30 rounds each.

(I'm actually incredibly surprised by this - I was almost sure it should be around 400, half of this in magazines; that said, I've got more Warsaw Pact style info on this things, so I had to check either way.)

Also, hemmingjay, you're great, you know?
