Gotcha .

I went from using the SLR (fn fal) many years ago, to the SA80A2 on my return to the green.

The immediate action drills weren't much different TBH, but first time stripping the thing was like looking at the innards of a broken cuckoo clock.

After just having done the SAA course, I happened to watch Dug Sojers again - only this time I actually noticed the weapon handling, ruined the watching that did...

Then I gave myself a slap for noticing.

if i watched that, i'd never sleep for a month !! No way !!

I'm like that with Zombie films. I enjoyed Dog Soldiers though.

Showed An American Werewolf in London to my Niece and Nephew last year. They laughed the entire time. Horror just ain't what it used to be. >sigh<

 

[John Fenna]

A great film - one in my "secure" video collection!

An unload followed by a load.... you must have at least two sets of crockery etc...how the other half lives.....when I was a boy we lived in a shoebox on the side of the A1 and used broken bottles as spoons....

 

[Lumber Jack]

normal (numpty) safety precautions; make safes and unloads - safety on, mag off, cock hook n look etc.

"Unloaod!"

Safety on, Magazine out, bring the working parts fully to the rear, look. Once up, one down, peek in the chamber, once up, once down, peek in the chamber. Check magazine housing. Fire off the dry action

"Stoppppp!!!"
"Which t*at just fired off a negligent discharge...You, Outside the CO's office, you're on report d*ck head!"

oh my god , my troop were the last unfortunates to use the punt guns that were the SLR's.

don't get me wrong the SLR was certainly a special.
but why was it only a semi, when the argies had FN FAL with auto? was it ammo discipline?

 

[British Red]

Recoil control. 7.62x51 is a pig to control in FA. 5.56 is a pussy cat by comparison.

Spray and pray is not a discipline for a rifleman

....and just what the feck is wrong with my Lee Enfield anyway? It still hits reliably at 700 yards in a crosswind - lets see the "plastic fantastic" guns do that!

 

[Miyagi]

LOL, nowt wrong with the Lee Enfield.

Though why they let us use them as cadets, when we could hardly hold it, I'll never know...

 

[whats wrong with you all]

if anyone can get their hands on a copy, Dead Snow is awesome! [its Norwegian though, so you'll have to watch the subtitles]

 

[Lumber Jack]

The SAS had a fully auto variant. And one that was a bit shorter. I think even 22 reg kept to semi-auto though. You can get more accurate rounds down range, they've always been the same. Hooligans!
I saw plenty of SLR's tampered with in the armories, trigger sears filed down to make them full auto (I even seen elastic bands and bits of string being used to modify the sear). They were a heap of cack though, they jammed every five minutes. Still I'd rather carry one of them into battle as apposed to the SA80, even the latest models.

Speaking of 7.62. We once had a demo with the Gimpy with regards to PIRA members hiding behind chimney stacks in NI. It knocked the Chimney block off and demolished half of the roof. GPMG, a cracking weapon.

I don't think this is the place to be discussing military firearms guys !

If you can't use the link, go to stagevu, tap the title & it's the third one down submitted by ODIEOREILLY. the dubbing is no worse than on other similar films but then again, it isn't really the dialogue that's interesting.
