I love this epi too... and hated it because of course we have to loose Hughes. But he was so much cooler in his last moments than in the first one.
Roy = 5'8" So he's not that big anyway.
My dad was 5'8" though, and in his unit he was the smallest guy, but he carried the biggest gun. His was the big 12 pounder that he had to carry all over the place while everyone else had ordinary rifles. hahaha... M-16's I guess. I think Colt had bought the armalite contract on the AR-15 by then and sold them to the army as M-16's... this was back in the early 50's. I don't know what my dad's specific weapon was. I just remember him referring to it as a 12 pounder and saying he was the littlest guy with the biggest gun. (dad did not have Ed's complex at all, and by the time he died, he was probably not standing even 5'6" any more. He shrank.)
