    That position is for shooting at helicopters. It's an easy field expedient way to get the elevation you need.

    that picture does seem a little off as the belt feeds from the right on the pkm but it is still a valid improvised anti air stance trained out, seen it a few times but manly from east block country from the pictures i;ve come across in the past

    That's how it's done apparently, according to sources, ridiculous as it seems. Using the 7.62 round it's good to fire at aircraft, mainly helicopters.
    This method was also used in World War 2 on the Bren gun for on slow moving and low flying targets in the sky.
    Crazy stuff though.

    Ah merlins... gotta love em. Getting a combat insertion (admitedly on ex) in those was amazing craic. Though not when the grass the thing hovered over turned out to be a lot deeper than you expected. (Cue pile of bodies at the ramp end), and a very amused loadie.

    Didnt see the show, but i expect so. Guys with an ops history like them shouldnt be posted so obviously. It is on milphotos too, but that doesnt make it right... Im quite concerned about it infact. They got up to some secret squirrel antics and pee'd off both sides.

    Tankers carry the M9 (Beretta FS92). MPs and aircrew get the M11 (SIG P228).

    I need to come back to this one, quickly. I work with a light colonel who runs an M.I. battalion, they just did their range quals. Their pistol is also the M11. I wonder if it's not spread out to the extent that any non-combat arms unit uses the M11, to cater for the females.

    Nothing worse is there? Happened to me on an Ex while getting out of a 139.

    Tanked up in complete battle rattle, with an 84 for good measure we barreled off the chopper and I straight away ended up waist deep in a ****ing bog. Spent the next 16k walking while soaked, absolutely cursing the IAC and everything to do with them.

    Soon, my precious, soon.

    If I recall, you already have a shortie barrel for your AUG Bernard? I seem to recall you using one at one point at Berget 7 (or else I imagined the whole thing; the barrel, not B7 :pac: )

    Yes, that's the 350mm Compact barrel, the shortest one there is. I had to get a ported cylinder for the JG AUG to make it work properly, but it's great indoors.

    It's easy to make; you just have to buy an adapter from eHobby and a short inner barrel.

    The carbine barrel doesn't seem to be commercially available, but I'm having a standard barrel cut down. I must order the inner barrel soon...

    Eh? No, it's due to grip size. The FS92 is one of the larger pistols out there, a lot of females just can't reach around with their fingers far enough to hold it right. I always fire single action only on the qualification range with the M9.

    Meh. Real riflemen use the longest barrel possible.

    Short barrels are handy when you don't have the option of driving through or over a building, or reducing it to rubble from a couple of thousand metres away. :)

    Yeah, they arent man enough for rifling at that size :D not like the Brits ;) They may be the Chavilry, but they can handle a bit of twist :P


    Ozcam: the CAS Radio is mightier than the CQB rifle :P

    Do they even have a bayonet mount on a bullpup carbine barrel?
