    The Sig is nice (NZ forces used to have them) but we have now gone to the Glock, which is a wise decision really.

    Even more interesting is our adoption of the LMT 5.56 service rifle. I was playing with one of these recently and they are superb bits of kit! Someone did a great job getting these for the troops.
    Not the cheapest, but I doubt the same level of quality would be provided now that the "labourite peacenik sect" are in control (remember the inshore patrol boats and LAV vehicle disasters?).

    meow. there's a time and a place.
    the 'retta has been a fine service weapon for a lot of countries for a lot of time,
    yanks must be getting soft. granted it's heavier and more fussy about cleaning (not to extreme... if i was to carry a gun it'd be a 96)
    it's by no means a "dog"

    and still no-one has convinced me that glocks are all that. yes they're impressively indestructable (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ENZioGLjMI) but their grips are poos. they bark a lot and pretty much every other pistol is more accurate. - not combat concerns, i know.

    yes... i heard tell about that. which means there's going to be a lot of AUGs to go somewhere.

    I wouldn't mind one with a 24" heavy pipe... in .308.

    You might need to talk to some people who've "been there, done that"...

    As for the Aug... check people's green recycling bins.
    Best place for the P.o.S. really.

    Thing about the pistols is that most who have "been there, done that" didn't have one. Mostly there's better options, apart from which you don't generally get to pick and chose.

    The Beretta was made to tolerances no other company could match, apparently the main complaint was related to their being thirty odd years old..

    i have.
    a pistol is a pistol is a pistol. (unless they're made of plastic)
    granted the people i've discussed berettas with weren't grunts, and probably got a new gun for every deployment, but they had no issue with them.

    augs are fucken cool.

    Spec-ops are: HK Mk 23 SOCOM .45 ACP, Glock 17 or the SIG 226.
    Standard issue? M9, but why would you?


    The operators can select what toy suits them. And small groups (less than 6) who shoot 3500 rounds in a morning session, can select whatever the fuck they want, even if it's another of the same thing - just with less wear and tear.

    Some of Youtube vids state that it's only the army that is affected this far. The others would normally follow in due course although some hesitation might be appropriate?
