I don’t know either. Just trying to get someone’s attention.
There is really a need for an acronym sticky. Could someone work on that please?
Thanks from a noobe.

I am pretty sure that you could do a little research and Google the terms you are looking for.
Doesn’t work with BCG or MWS, but I’ll keep trying.
I went looking around other forums and found this:o
http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=12&f=1&t=16
Guess I’ll have to bookmark it until I get smart. Those guys think Bushmaster is top tier:sarcastic:.
Finding multiple errors before even getting to ‘C’ just further reinforces the notion that ARFCOM is not a place I want to be… as if that hadn’t been done enough…
Depending upon the usage, it could mean almost anything.
Where/when/how did you see it being used?
I just typed in what is a BCG in gun speak and found the answer. You have to know how to ask the question. Also, I bet that if you went to LMT’s website you would see what the MWS is.
Could you be more specific, in what context was it used? Maybe post a link to the thread in question? I wouldn’t waste your time looking for the answer to anything on ARFcom.
Noticed that they didn’t have TOS on the list…strange:sarcastic:
I noticed some things missing too. They aren’t really a great forum, but it’s a start. You guys all have some good ideas. I’m going to bookmark this thread for when I have trouble with any search.
Almost forgot, what is “gun speak”? Is it OK?
I still think M4Carbine.net needs an acronym guide as I figure it would be right. On the other hand, I just discovered http://www.acronymfinder.com/.
There is a lot of stuff to scan, but I found ACOG, MWS, BCG and BO on there. Helps to click the “Military and Government” tab. I have them bookmarked now too.
TOS: Tip of the Spear? Training Objective Statement? Tactical Operations System? Type Of Shipment?
Still some ambiguity if you use a general source. That’s why I think M4Carbine.net needs a guide.
Thanks tons,

Someone used AO in a reply to me recently, and no amount of Googling or looking at the links in this thread did a thing for me. If I was an artist, I’d have the word “Acronyms” circled with a big red circle, and one fat red slash thru it. :nono: AO?
Area of Operation?
Yes. AO = Area of Operation. Templar answered it for me in another thread. I’ve heard it before, but it didn’t stick. It should stick this time. Thanks. 
Could also mean adjustable objective if refering to optics. Too many acronyms, too many possibilities; isn’t context a great word? I’d add something political but it’s the wrong forum.
QVR- Queen Victoria’s Rifles is what google came up with.
TOS- The Other Site
