  1. i believe their favoured weapon is the mp5...........9mm rounds......
     

  2. It is for CQB, but maybe a later version of the H&K MP series (And the G series).....however, for longer range etc, the M16 (I meant 16 in my post above) assault rifle 5.56 cal is used as well as the C8 (a similar rifle).

    AL
     
  3. g36......but a bit too powerful for inside......and fook me does it go bang! but the MP5 remains the much easier and more accurate one to use...
     
  4. Sorry but I cant disclose anything. :wink:
     
  5. Goverments!

    One day they give you a gun and tell you to kill people.....

  7. There is only one cal. None of this mincey little faggot balls size rounds! No cal too big no game too small...
     
  8. The Barrett will do the job as far as I am concerned....(if man enough for the recoil)........... with 0.5" calibre, if you are good enough hit the target, it won't get up again.

    AL
     
  9. Ahh,the .50 BMG,now thats a proper mans calibre...........

  10. The BMG is a Browning, sort of; not quite the same as the Barrett..

  17. The 408 seems to be taking over from the .50.

  18. I was able to discuss this today with the Judge Advocate General at some length. The judiciary are quite content with the case, which has simply shown the system working well. Obviously they are not concerned with ill-informed froth in the media.

    What they are annoyed about are public comments made by a cabinet minister (the Secretary of State for Defence, the Rt Hon Philip Hammond MP) apparently trying to interfere with the judicial process. This is completely out of order and will have to be taken further, behind the scenes obviously.
