I generally find firing off my mouth first before a gun gets me in alot more trouble :x.

The list is quite large, however best weapons to fire in my opinion are the
Carl Gustav 84 nothing beats the kick in the nuts that bastard gives out. MG-42 (second best thing about serving in bosnia was the weird assortment of weapons we nicked from those silly enough to leave them lying around,) Crazy place :roll:.
And they let me shoot a howitzer once that was cool.

Hmm, let's see...

Military:

Brit SLR
Brit SMG (Sterling)
Brit LMG (7.62mm converted Bren)
Brit HK .22 cal insert.
Brit 66mm
Brit 84mm
Brit M72 with 21mm insert
Brit GPMG (light, SF direct, SF indirect, and AA)
Brit SA80
Brit LSW
Austrian Steyer
Austrian MG74
Soviet AK47
Swedish Carl Gustav SMG
Brit 9mm Browning
Canadian .30 cal Browning MG
Canadian .50 cal Browning MG (SF and AA)
Canadian C1 (an FN to all intents and purposes - had the top cover open for clip mag feed, just like the FN)
Canadian C2 LMG (same as the C1 but with a heavy barrel and a bipod.
Canadian C7 assault rifle
Canadian C8 carbine
Canadian C9 LMG
Canadian C6 GPMG
Franchi SPAS 12
Remington Wingmaster
Charles Daley Field Tactical pump (rifled slug and buckshot)
60mm mortar
The Regimental grapefruit canon (brought out only on Labour Day long weekend: black powder-fired, and launches a one pound grapefruit over 500m when operated by an able drunkard! Potentially lethal to gophers.)

Civi:

Marlin Golden 39AS .22 lever action
Ruger 10-22 (best field .22 on the market!)
Remington BDL .270
Lee Enfield .303 sporterized
Browning lever action .22
Ruger .22 pistol
Browning .22 pistol
Glock 9mm (not impressed!)
Glock .40 cal (also not impressed)
Ruger Redhawk .44 magnum (super accurate!)
CZ75 9mm (nice pistol)
S&W .357 magnum
Colt .45 model 1911
S&W .40 cal auto
.410 shotgun

My three favourites these days are my Charles Daley pump, my Ruger 10/22, and my CZ 75.

Acquisitions in the immediate future will include a Ruger Mini 14 Ranch Rifle (in 7.62X 39), a Marlin Papoose folding backpacker gun in .22 cal , and a short barrel .410 for my son.

So when I cam to light it I got a nice fireball and no eyebrows for my trouble


It was at this point I realised my OC was a nobber of the first degree as he displayed amazing leadership skills by pointing and laughing

Still they grew back

Heh. I know what you mean. There was when I was number 2 for a mate, the dude fired too low and the round bounces off the ground and fly back at me.
Missed me and sergeant supervising by inches.

"Puffin billy" is a kerosene powered anti everything device still in service with both Regular and Territorial army units throughout the known world and the Canadian forces. This device will save mankind ,Except the poor fck volunteered to light it. it is basically a metal dust bin that gets filled with water and a heating element that is lowered into the afore said bin, this is metal plate with a kero fuel tank fitted and a chimney in sections the kero is then turned onto drip to heat the exchanger (which in turn heats the water)
CQMS(SQMS) and storemaen around the world know this is the most critical part of the operation , get it right and the boys get hot water to get washed in (would not recommend to drink or make a brew with) get it wrong as has happened on 1 or several occasions and it becomes a very effective Weapon of Mass Destruction
Hope that has cleared it up for you any further questions please dont hesitate to ask

I'm never going to lit that thing, nor do I ever want to. That thing is more dangerous than anything in Canadian arsenal.

The tye die t shirt goreD is wearing can be bought at www.oldglory.com .


Can someone tell me about rules of engagement, your an infantry solider in a warzone, you find a dead enemy, are you allowed to take the ak47 and use it (even when you have enough sa 80 ammo left)?

Or are you not allowed as it may confuse the friendlies on the enemies location?


Alot of the lists I have read here from Uk soliders include american and soviet firearms, where do you get such opportunity to have tested these weapons unless your special forces.

Does anyone have pics of the SA80 with the underslung grenade launcher like the m16/m203?

If you spend enough time round ranges you never know what weapons will be produced. If you are in the Armed Forces make a few phone calls and see if you can get on a WIS meet. They have all manner of captured and seized weapons.

There have been a few occasions of coalition troops using enemy rifles in Iraq during battle, but if you still had ammunition why would you want to?

It's best practice to know how to fire, strip and assemble the weapons of your enemy. The AK type rifle is so easy to handle. One hour with it and you know all there is to know.

First time I was number 2 on the Carl G my twat for a gunner didn't yell out a warning before he shot, I was still looking backwards. I sorted him right out proper about 10 seconds later with the Sgt yelling at him while I dropped him.

Fond memories who'd have thunk it that he'd be my best mate today?
