Last week I was over in Warminster UK on a PIOFV potential infantry officer fam visit. Whilst there I had a chance to visit the infantry weapons collection that the British army have been collecting and testing for the last three hundred or something years. I must admitt that the experience was fantastic I got the chance to hold and see every modern assault rifle,light machine gun and pistol apart from the new Peoples liberation Army assualt rifle. There was eveything from the G36, long barrel styer, Mimimi,colt commando, and sniping rifles such as the barret light fifty. I also got the chance to fire the SA-80 A1 on a simulated range and got a chance to hold and see every support weapon and climb in every infantry support vehicle including the light strike specials. The British army really do go out of their way to promote the armed forces. I went to many many different type of warfare stands and talked to troops and officers from unit's such as the royal Irish and Para's to name but two. All in all I had a brillant time. I even saw an Irish army officer and said hi but he didn't speak back. I would welcome comments and questions on the experience and hope to answer them as best I can.
Thanks from the Thing P.S hi Andy
