[ Mod News ] Eve Of Destruction .3 preview

Winters

Well, after so much Battlefield: Vietnam stuff I thought i'd give ya some updates from the EOD side of things. As shown in the other thread .3 is up and coming. I will be using this thread to post pictures, movies and also tose nice links once its released.

The OH-6 was designed for use as a military scout during the Vietnam war. In 1960 Hughes Tool Company Aircraft Division submitted their Model 369 to fill a US Army requirement for a Light Observation Helicopter capable of performing a number of secondary duties including escort, attack and casualty evacuation duties. The OH-6 could be armed with a M134 7.62mm minigun.

The first carbine version of the M-16 assault rifle appeared under the name of CAR-15 in 1965, and was intended for US Special Forces who fought in Vietnam. Initial combat experience with CAR-15 brought up some problems. First, the carbine was too loud, deafing the firing soldier quite quickly. Second, the muzzle flash was also terrific, blinding the shooter at night and giving avay the position of the shooter to the enemies. Colt partially solved this problem by installing a new, longer flash suppressor. This version, known as the Colt model 609 Commando, also carried new handguards of tubular shape. This model was officially adopted by the US Army as XM-177E1.

The SVD wasn't designed as a standard sniper rifle. In fact the main role of the SVD in the Soviet / Russian Army was to extend effective range of fire of every infantry squad up to 600 meters and to provide special fire support. The SVD is a lightweight and quite accurate rifle, capable of semi-auto fire. First request for new sniper rifle was issued in 1958. In 1963 SVD (Snaiperskaya Vintovka Dragunova, or Dragunov Sniper Rifle) was accepted by Soviet Military.
