First off, I'd like to say thank you guys to a wonderful rest of 2011. As you may know, I started this channel in July of 2011, and since then it  has grown faster than I have imagined. I consider myself extremely fortunate that I have a very supportive and enthusiastic subscriber base to work with and produce videos for, and I hope that this tradition continues.

As we enter the new year of 2012, I sometimes think back to the days of my Combat Arms experience before I started a Youtube channel. What was I playing for? All these hours and dollars spent on NX to buy virtual items - what were they all coming down to? "Just for enjoyment" was an unacceptable answer to me, one that did not quite capture the passion I have for this game. People have come and gone - the famous ones, the trolls, the hackers, and the people who simply gave up on the game due to whatever the reason - and, no matter who they are, it's rather sad that they come and go so easily. Combat Arms has always had a bad name for itself, mainly due to its myriad of problems that we, the loyal players who must struggle through each day dealing with more bullshit than the entire Nexon corporation put together, must contend with.

This is where I hope to succeed. I will restate my ambition now: I will make Combat Arms known throughout the gaming community so well that Nexon will have no choice but to fix its most plaguing problems once and for all. This is not typical of how I usually talk, speaking in such an optimistic and high-horse manner. But in the time of New Year's resolutions-making, I figured this would be quite apt. And that is my New Year's Resolution for this channel. This is a new year, one to start anew and fresh and go at it like we have never gone before. This road that I face - the roads that all of you face - will never be easy, nor do we expect them to be. But like the petals of the sakura tree that bloom without fail every spring, we will all make it. Here's to the new year of 2012, and thank you all for contributing to this channel. I wish you all the best for this upcoming year.

Now, on to the actual gun statistics -__-; I definitely recommend trying the MINIMI machine gun out.

NOTE: I made a slight error in the video - I mentioned that the MINIMI is an American-made machine gun, but that is actually incorrect - the M249 SAW is the American version of the Belgian MINIMI, manufactured by FN Herstal. Thanks to GamingIlluminated for pointing that out.

Frank Personal Opinions: Great starter machine gun. I'm very surprised it's not more widely used, but then again, there are so many other better mg's that it's not that much of a surprise. Still a very solid MG, and now that it can be customized, its performance is enhanced even more. You might have to deal with a few instances of the not-strong-enough syndrome, but it's only in a few firefights.
