Either a 5.56 HK416 or a 7.62 HK417, think it says 417 on the brass catcher so I'd say its the the latterOriginally posted by Celtic-Warrior View PostEveryone who's ever loved you was wrong.Comment

Anyone else spot the HK416 in that last photo.Pics of the Dive teams gear in the papers the day after the event had em also."Let us be clear about three facts. First, all battles and all wars are won in the end by the infantryman. Secondly, the infantryman always bears the brunt. His casualties are heavier, he suffers greater extremes of discomfort and fatigue than the other arms. Thirdly, the art of the infantryman is less stereotyped and far harder to acquire in modern war than that of any other arm." ------- Field Marshall Wavell, April 1945.Comment

there's a recession on,give them 303's and Bren guns
i think it's disgraceful that the department wasted that money
when's there's perfectly good weapons it storage
I'm sure the 40mm UGL could be fitted to the Bren with a little modification
