Re: British Special Forces small arms 2017

I used to coach female athletes and from what I learned during the courses in coaching and the experience is that the rule "Women athletes achieve 90% of the strength level of men except for shoulder...

Re: British Special Forces small arms 2017

There are always occasional exceptions, but the fact you had a USMC career, starting, if you will forgive me for saying so, some years ago, surely shows that the system was already working well...

Re: British Special Forces small arms 2017

In theory woman can now join the British Infantry but I don't think any have, as actual fighting soldiers. They are not allowed to join the Paras (I believe) and they are excluded from the Royal...

Re: British Special Forces small arms 2017

There is a multi part documentary on YouTube about training future RN officers at Dartmouth (that I watched because my son is going there). These days the Royal Navy has a fair number of female...

Re: British Special Forces small arms 2017

Hey !
I represent that remark !

As long as a female can meet the same physical standards as the males I don't see a problem (and only 10-25% can). I TOTALLY hate the idea of any sort of dual...

Re: British Special Forces small arms 2017

And that is precisely why that lesson was taught the way it was. Doing things that can get you killed ( or your Cpl killed) are frowned upon :)

I do not envy the job recruit training NCO's do...

Re: British Special Forces small arms 2017

Yes I do remember doing that, although I don't think I ever 'lost' that.

I do remember, as a teenager, very early on in training leaving my rifle three yards away while I answered a call of...

Re: British Special Forces small arms 2017

Interesting. Yep, it was always just the SLR, or, as Arrse would have it, 'The Rifle'. There again not everyone on here is even British.

Re: British Special Forces small arms 2017

For anyone who does not know much about small arms, the small 5.56mm round mainly relies on high velocity to kill or wound, but that velocity falls off fairly rapidly with range and it also lacks...

Re: British Special Forces small arms 2017

While I am, sort of, on this subject it has been known, for many years, certainly since the mid 1990's, that the 'ideal' military round is somewhere between 7.62mm (too large and heavy) and 5.56mm...

Re: British Special Forces small arms 2017

As the British Army always says, "Any fool can be uncomfortable."

If you need a GPMG, you carry a GPMG, or whatever kit you need. You do not waste effort on a weapon, if you can get the same...

Re: British Special Forces small arms 2017

Why don't British Special Forces, and associated units, use the L85A2 SA80?
