I think that you'll find that he is holding a triggering mechanism.
The gun is anchored on a bi/tripod and it is also belt fed. I think
he is getting ready to hose some poor slot that has moved
into his presighted kill zone. I don't think that it's an external
smartlink . If you look closely you cannot see any visible trigger
on the gun at all.

If you look at the names of the people who actually wrote chunks
of the book Dennis I think that you'll find that certainly listmembers
were involved in the writing of the book. Yeah and it is just damn
cool to be here as well.
