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

the fick takes me back...

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. :lol:

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.
