TWO WEEKS TODAY!!

I cant believe they have sacked teaching the GPMG in depot

Why have they done that?

No idea. But the battalions are getting a bit pissed off when joebags arrive and have never seen a GPMG before, let alone touched one. And all the drills are basically the same as the LMG.

I think they should have both GPMG's and LMG's in depot because its what happens in battalion. Perhaps even teach the UGL aswell.

[Airborne Legend]

Is the UGL any good then? Didn't have 'em when I was around, and the LMG had only just arrived.

[Paratrooper01]

Yeh the UGL is a mega bit of kit. Quite heavy though. Makes an already heavy weapon even more of a heavy b@stard!

I wouldn't turn down an offer to have one on patrol though. RTR just became a whole lot more effective when you start popping off 40mil instead of the usual 2 rounds. Especially when they start issuing smoke and illum rounds for it aswell.

[SO19]

I hear it makes the A2 a more balanced rifle though? What's your thoughts on replacing the rifle mounted kit with a multi-shot grenade launcher instead? Obviously, both have their advantages and disadvantages.

[Paratrooper01]

No, i think the UGL is really effective in a section especially as you have 1 per fireteam.

Do you mean the GMG, as modelled by this hat ....




Or are you talking about something even more ally that i dont even know about

[SO19]

Nothing new or spectacular, I'm talking about a six shot man-portable MGL, not the heavy auto-cannon's like our friend above is sporting.

M32 MGL.

[harry hackedoff]

Oi you

[Paratrooper01]

Just kidding H.

SO19,

is that a frisbi on the head of that marine, or is it sloped that way so the rain runs straight off, ?
you cant beat the gimpy in any role, awsome bit of kit, well worth the pain when you are carrying it,

It's obvious the RM are getting a better deal buying golf caps.

Yep, the gimpy rocks. Spoilt a few gooks' days with that baby over in the obvious!

Cheeky cnut He`s wearing his lid in the Sniper position to keep the sun out of his eyes
Or did you mean he has a sloping head

GPMG isn`t heavy ffs 26 pounds empty and 200 link only weigh 12 lbs ffs

Once heard a dit about how those grenade launchers came into being which is so daft it`s probably gen For the fillum "Dogs Of War" the director wanted to make the mercenaries look a bit serious so he asked the armourer on the fillum to come up with weapons which might look a bit er "ally" as you ladies like to say. So the geezer took the old single shot 51mm grenade launcher and "imagined" a revolver version. (There was no such weapon at the time, I`d like to point out ) Some dick in Delta saw the movie and after having an auto-erotic event, contacted Elmer`s procurement agency and the rest is history.
As said, daft enough to be gen. Don`t say I said

You ain`t seen me, right
