Jackson was now standing over the man he had just shot in the leg, during his charge he didn't realize at first that his gun jammed but figured it out as he approached the wounded native. The native was wrything in pain and Jackson looked into his eyes. Jackson raised his rifle as he took another step towards the man Maybe this will un-jam my gun. Jackson put his body weight behind his gun as he sent his rifle butt crashing down towards the mans skull. As soon as Jackson felt the butt of his rifle smash down on something he sat up and fiddled with his bolt until it was working again. Next time I'll have to pull back a little harder. A bullet wasn't fully extracted from the rifle. Jackson raised his rifle and pointed it towards the other side of the stream as he heard machine gun fire just across the little waterway. I should have about six shots left and luckily another magazine... hopefully I won't need it but who am I kidding I have horrible luck.
Jackson found a little cover behind a rock that jutted out of the water. He rested his rifle upon the rock and sat as still as possible. If nothing else I have somewhat of an element of surprise. They don't know where I am... well not exactly where I am just the general vecinity.

The following action have been made:
- Knight, firing at the mounted man and the man with the M1, Most of the rounds tore the horse and it's rider to pieces, literally, the rest of the party remains in tact.
- Jackson, well no other way to say it really, has finally rid himself of the first group of men he encountered, he has also successfully hidden himself from the new threat.
The enemy has come upon your tent Jackson, one of the men has noticed the dead man near you and started to cross the stream, he has a machete like blade and a bag of rocks as well. The man with the M1 is behind the tree you used so much and the other is next to your tent, watching his companion cross the stream.
Jackson watched as the three pillaged through his campsite. One man noticed the dead body next to Jackson. Perhaps the native thought that the dead man was still alive because of the random twitching from the dead man's nerves that still shot through his body. He started to cautiously approach the dead native and Jackson noticed a machete and a bag of rocks that the man carried. Jackson waited, slowly he led the man with his rifle as the man drew nearer. Finally Jackson let out a shot that was aimed at the man's chest. Jackson sat as still as the dead of night and watched the enemies' reactions. Jackson didn't even re-load in hopes that his shot echoed enough to confuse the seemingly already terrified natives.

The following actions have been made:
- Jackson, firing at almost point blank range knocked the approaching man over, he was dead before he could make a splash. Unfortunately the other two, stunned froze, only for a second, the man with the rifle started shooting wildly in Jackson direction, one round hit the rock he was behind, knocking Jackson on his tail in surprise. The last man seeing this is now rushing Jackson with his spear held high ready to thrust into what he might find, the man with the gun is trying to figure out how to reload.
Oh Shit! Jackson fell back as a chunk of rock flew by his face, he reloaded and peeked out behind the rock as the gunfire ceased. Jackson saw a man with a spear running towards him. Jackson took careful aim and fired. He reloaded and fired again at the same man. He looked at the gunman across the stream and saw him struggling with the rifle. Jackson re-loaded, stood up, raised his weapon, and started walked towards the gunman. I could fire at any time but I'd really like to strangle this guy. Jackson picked up the pace as he neared the charging man's vicinity.

The following actions have been made:
- Jackson, taking your time to aim has afforded the charging man time to throw his spear, as it impacted with your leg, only a graze but still a deep gash from the broadhead, your shot was thrown off, you are now bleeding at an unnerving pace, but the charging man is still coming, unarmed as he may be, the man with the M1 has given up and is coming to use it as a club.
Jackson's shot is wide as a spear slashed open his thigh. Jackson saw the spear in the ground next to him, so he grabbed the spear and held it horizontal to the ground with the spearhead pointed in the charging man's direction. Jackson was waiting for the man to draw closer so he could slam the spear through the man's stomach. As the man approached Jackson gave a controlled thrust with the spear using his arms keeping the majority of his weight on his good leg.

CP issue:
- Corporal Nathan Knight - 8CP - nicely done sir, you are to be a fine pilot
- Private Jackson - 11CP - just can't give up, can you?
Too much CP issued, this was not an Official Combat Thread as you guys were fighting ghost enemies; So this is classified as a Neutral Thread. Sorry guys.
