Good Work Sniper S! I'm sure you're one of the best of your Troop!

Here the Rilfe I used, see the second weapon down "7.62mm L1A1 SLR" better known by the troops as the SLR:

Maximum effective range (m) 600+ ... I and many others could hit a target in the head at 800 m (wind allowing) with normal iron sights
I also got to train on the "7.62mm L4A2 LMG"
and Artillery equipment such as the:

He's not allowed to play with the real stuff yet.
He gets to fire pretend bullets, yell out BANG, BANG, and make up his own score.

hell main that brings back memories
As an x Royal Marine we got weapons of choice and i choosed the SLR over the SA80, and it served me without fail especialy in the desert when the SA80 had alot of stopages problems.
And when i get to heaven,
to Saint Peter i will tell,
Another soldier reporting sir,
ive served my time in hell.
