Has anyone here done courses on either the gustav 84mm or the 81mm mortar and if so, do you normally get to fire these weapons on the course?

Heard that the 84mm is on the way out. I think the figure of 5 years was mentioned as far as i can remember.
Any truth to this? I don't know weither to belive this or nto but the info is from a reliable source. But then again it could just be the same as the Bren. Going out every year but never quite making it.:D"Those who have long enjoyed such privileges as we enjoy forget in time that men have died to win them." - Franklin D. Roosevelt

I did both. The 81mm course is longer and a little bit more complicated. There's absolutely nothing to the 84. You cannot qualify on any weapon unless you fire it. The sub cal used to be 6.5mm and is now 7.62mm. They've recently bought new ammo, sights and a laser range finder for the 84 so I presume we'll get another while out of it. If I had to choose I'd do the mortar first.sigpic

Of course you can qualify on a weapon without firing it, it happens all the time, the Milan is a prime example,

The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Only because the MILAN is so expensive. The RBS 70 is another one I suppose. In the normal run of things you have to fire to qualify.
No more promotions boo-hoo.:(sigpic
