OK settle down gang Kaiser you know the ska at that end better than we do. Others on this board are very clued in to what is happening but like to keep schtumm; that's the nature of lurking on the Internet though. ( Note any knowledge I can bring is 3rd hand )

And the under barrel rails,the illuminator/laser aimer,UGL and thermal imager!!!"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.

Two months between the end of field trials and a board making decision isn't that long in fact in my experience is actually quite a short period of time. When you consider a series of very complex reports have to be written, read, understood, meetings set up, diary clashes, holidays etc.

we've been using the C7A1 out here in Denmark and their 5.56mm ammo is far less powerful than our own. I've no idea what muzzle velocities are but they were desperate to get their hands on our British Ammo - less stoppages for them with our ammo too.
Their ammo was ok in our A2's but definitely not as powerful.
MOD: Topic!!!.Start a new thread if you want to discuss ammunition types.Last edited by apod; 3 October 2013, 21:49.

I,ve never had a problem with the grip on a steyr if yours in faulty it should be picked out on the annual ord inspection
I have heared an under barrel extension for a rail running from where the grip is now up along the barrel
to facilitate a new fore grip is in the pipe line for next yr
the new housing also has a rail on the side
