Roadblock´s dream was to be a gourmet chef. He was working as a bouncer to earn money to attend the Escoffer School in France when an army recruiter convinced him that the army could train him. Roadblock joined but found army menus and preparation techniques too appalling. Transferred to the infantry. Qualified expert: M-2 Browning .50 cal; Heavy Machine Gun; all Warsaw Pact Heavy MGs; M-16; M1911A1 Auto Pistol.

“A .50 cal. Browning weighs 84 pounds. Add fifty pounds for the ammo – that´s about 134 pounds of steel generating 2930 f.p.s. in muzzle velocity at a cyclic rate of 550 r.p.m. Anybody who can handle that doesn´t need a machine gun to keep me away!”
