Gay Army was a Scandanavian TV show that aired in 2006. It was a reality show featuring 9 effeminate gay men who were instructed by a US drill sergeant.

Here is a clip from when they introduced the “M16A2” to the recruits. One of the recruits has an emotional break down when confronted with the gun.

Besides the over-the-top reaction, I have my doubts about the drill instructor. His description of the weapon is almost as bad as the recruit’s reaction. The drill instructor calls the weapon an M16A2, when it is an M4. He then says it is can take down the enemy with one shot, where the red dot is aiming is where it is killing. I suppose he is making it easy for them to understand simple basics of the rifle. However, point of aim and point of impact are not the same at all distances. Also, the effectiveness of 5.56 is debatable.
