PR Acronyms

[Metal_militia_103]

Forgive me if this is a repost (I did a search on the forums and didnt find anything).

Perhaps we could put a list of popular PR acronyms/terms/slang/phrases and maybe sticky the thread or add to the manual/wiki. It would be helpful for those new to PR and without real world military experience.

Things such as RP, FOB, HAT, LAT, RPG etc. Maybe even explain the "OVER 9000"

Thoughts?

I'd choose "dead dead" to make sure the person you're talking to knows you're unrevivable . I'd use down or wounded when I can still be revived.

Rocket Propelled Grenade - Glossary Definition - Army Technology
Rocket-propelled grenade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Definition of rocket propelled grenade
RPG: Definition from Answers.com

RPG is a transliteration of РПГ, the Russian abbreviation of Reaktivnyy/Ruchnoy Protivotankovyy Granatomyot (реактивный/ручной противотанковый гранатомё&#1090 , "jet/hand-held anti-tank grenade launcher", according to Wikipedia that is. Therefore, RPG really does stand for Rocket-Propelled Grenade, but the explosive that is called the grenade is actually a warhead.

So, regardless what definition of RPG you pick, you know what people mean in-game.....

RPG also stands for Role Playing Game, but that's not the one we're looking for here .

map abbreviation during spots: things like E5kp3, F1kp6, A4kp9 used where:

ok... i truly started to explain this but cant do it in a good way. some1 with good wording pls do it

[Metal_militia_103]

Anyone have any ideas on how to best organize this into an official list?

I can start putting together an official list but want it to be useful/noticed by people that need it.

[Smegburt_funkledink]

GTG = Good to go
HSLG = High Speed, Low Drag
RGR = Roger
AR = Auto Rifleman
NUB = Scot

[dtacs]

A1KP2 refers to the following:

A1 grid, there are 32 grid squares going from A1-2-3-4-etc to H1-2-3-4-etc, all the way up to A8 and H8.

KP2 refers to the keypad, as grid squares are further divided up into 9 little boxes.I use a simpler term, A47 for example, which would mean the grid of A4, and the keypad of 7.

The keypads don't work like your mobile phone however, they work like this:

7 8 9
4 5 6
1 2 3

[l|Bubba|l]

i use the "dead , dead dead" system as well

I like "down" for critical wounded and "dead" for dead.

Dead dead sounds rubbish.

[dtacs]

We often use 'revivable' for wounded and 'dead dead' for dead.

Its funny how popular dead dead is
