Re: The catamaran tank - an MRAP which doesn't roll over!

Well I don't know about the design but I think you definitely need to think about the name. A 'Catamaran' Tank?????? A 'double-hulled boat' tank doesn't seem to work as such a vehicle has got nothing to do with floating. There are DUKWs and other amphibious vehicles which name describes what they ar...

Re: Do the SF accept all?

You need to be more specific. Why are you asking the question? Is it a medical issue? A nationality issue? What?

Re: Looking for some advice [I have 2 options}

If this is your view The British Army, it really does speak for its self, Best in the world without a shadow of a doubt and I love each and every single one of those men and women out on the battle field fighting under the union jack for whatever reason, and I salute those who have fallen for it.

The Hero Inside

A great book with photos by Gill Shaw. It's a tribute to service personnel who've paid a high price in the line of duty and those who support them when they come home. Part of the Cover price is donated to 'Help for Heroes'. I got through my 9 and a half years with barely a scratch. I feel very humb...

7.65 SLR/5.56 SA80

Can any armourers out there explain the different effects of the 7.65 vs 5.56 calibre rounds? Distance, penetration, accuracy, 'killing power' - or whatever other points I don't understand about why certain calibres are preferred over others. For example, if an SLR was produced with a 5.56 calibre, ...

I can't say that I have ever seen a civilian war correspondent wearing medals for any of the conflicts that they have covered Me neither Tab - and some of them were at the sharp end for longer than many servicemen. Still, campaign medals are for the military aren't they? What on earth are MPs getti...

Don't you have to spend 30 days in theatre any more - or are they giving medals for drop-in visits?

Do war correspondents get medals?

A stone in the face would suggest a fractured cheekbone or eye socket; a broken nose or jaw.

I hope the A&E managed to deal with it in less than the usual four hours.

SA80

What's the 'pull pressure' on an SA80 trigger mechanism? I'm assuming it's part of the spec - but is it?
