Country:  | Patrols exercises kick a**. Seems easy to the outsider - but forming good patrol and movement to contact skills require a lot of time and work. Amazing how strung out a plt can get along a couple click movement.

Country: | do the brits like the LMG? I am not the biggest fan... but it does have its advantages being a platoon asset.

Country: | Don't ask me! The only LMG I'd use is the L4 Bren Gun!
Just out of interest, what is the attribution of SAWs in the Infantry Pln?

Country: | Mid-40s - still in use here and there in my young days; beautiful piece of kit.
Note this is the L4 7.62mm NATO version, not the MkI/II in .303. Which I also used when I was a cadet!

Country: | Yes, and it causes so many problems with casuality photos being beamed back. The problems in Vietnam were caused by television beaming back reports and photos and turning it into a situation where it seemed that the US had went in there to deliberately target civilians... I think also we are seeing problems in Iraq because the coverage is able to be redubbed by extremists and used as a recruitment tool... Just my two cents worth on how the war on terror is being lost due to too much openness. | |

Country: | Beats carting round belts of GPMG ammo, with the light glinting on the stuff while it gets dirty and breaks off in the bushes... Seemed a bit silly to go to town on individual camouflage, and then wrap yourself up in shiny metal disintegrating link!

Country: | Dunno bout you lot but the SA80 is very accurate indeed, ive fired the cadet version using iron sights, not even SUSAT and i still managed to get a 6" grouping from a good range from 20 bullets, manually cocked, using snap targets, rapid fire, and just plain no time limited shooting. im not very strong and the gun wasnt very stable at the time i was using it, yet i still got the second highest marksman ranking in The ATC....and that was my 2nd or 3rd time on the L98a1gp

I like the gun but the sight was not that great and nothing special.
