    We learn today that bin laden is dead from a US administered bullet to the head. Any thoughts on the type of gun used? It was a Seal team member, so would that make it a 1911? I really hope that bastard was taken out by the classic US military pistol that has been in service for 100 years.

    I thought they used the HK MK23, but I am sure I just read that in a gun magazine somewhere.

    I would be surprised if it was a pistol at all.

    It was probably a plain old M4, which we all know is too much of a poodle shooter to kill anyone.

    Reports are saying that United States Naval Special Warfare Development Group (DEVGRU)(old Seal Team 6)(new name currently classified) and the CIA Special Operations Group/Special Activities Division was involved with this mission.

    My guess is they probably have free reign on which weapons they use.

    This is probably not the case, but I hope his death was caused by a tomahawk right to the forehead.

    Over by the lake.
    I hope whoever shot him got to pick his spot and squeeze the shot off...if it was a stray that just happened to catch him, ok but, I hope one lucky Seal got to do it and make it personal.

    I'm pretty sure Osama died via a roundhouse kick to the face courtesy of Chuck Norris who we all know is a member of every special forces, navy seal and ranger team.
