That's really cool. God love the Germans for making great machinery. I saw a video recently of the new M60 where these guys fired 850 rounds of link out of ONE BARREL in one trigger pull. It took them 1 minute 40 odd seconds!!! I'm going to drop off the planet for all of July with the OZ Army where I will be trained in the F88 Steyr, F89 Minimi (machine gun), grenade, grenade launcher, claymore anti-personel weapon etc etc. I'm a police weapons trainer by trade so I appreciate firepower. I hope he gave you a go.

Dude, come on you're an American.

The "F89 Minimi" is the same we use here as our S.A.W.(M249), but it jams wayyy too much.
It's horrendously unreliable, and it's soon to be replaced.

What's with your guys' "auscam "utilities anyways, that stuff is awful!

I have never used camouflage that has been more effective than the U.S. Marine Corps new digital

Although I can't say the same for the new U.S. Army issue. (What is the army thinking?) The Marine pattern has more brown, and the desert pattern is also much more effective than any other desert scheme.

AWFUL!

Not really into guns,but I do like several as design icons. The Bren gun would look kinda cool as a living room display item. Maybe a Sterling submachine gun would make a small but cool collection.
When I was at school, I did a work placement with the Army at Knightsbridge barracks,London.This included a week in the armoury and lots of time to strip and assemble a version of the Sterling that was kept in reserve, plus the current SA80.

for christs sake... how does jamming every now and then make an open bolt machine gun with likely 20+ years of abuse in AFUS use, used in an environment where sand is probably constantly flying into the open bolt hole, unreliable? none of the guns issued to anybody in the MC, with the exception of those in SF maybe is all that great, as they are all heavily used before they get to their current owner. my chat with somebody from the MC revealed that they will often change barrels on well worn receiver/barrel combos, for rifles that is, without ever thinking about it. that's like me saying that the jam-o-matic auto mp5 that i fired made the entire model line unsuitable for SF use because the one that i shot was made in the 70s, had weld marks all over it, and likely had several hundred thousand rounds go down its barrel in its lifetime. as far as I've heard, they don't even have a model lined up as a possible replacement. perhaps they'll go into the armory and pull out old m60s to replace 'em, that will makes things better. (rolls eyes).

why does the guy keep sticking a pic of his daughter into his photos winfred?
