That experience should be more than enough.

Write a comprehensive letter detailing your training and experience.

You might want to leave out references to specific friearms types such as "machine guns" and "sniper rifles", and say that you have had training and experience with different types of centerfire rifles.

Best of luck.

Nico not saying your not legit but you referring to the Famas as a "machine gun" makes me wonder .............. it is actually a 'rifle' in the same way the Steyr AUG, which the Irish Army uses is

Not the kind of 'mistake' someone with military training would/should make

your right bunny, excuse my french it is an assault rifle !!! what would we be without you????!!
