    Not on an RDF course, which has to be run at brigade level lest we die of reserveness.

              Yep, Goldie, I think the 92 designation may be specific to the Irish DF, denoting the
              year of it's intro into service. I can't say I've seen the "92" designation used
              anywhere else, it's a 7.62 X 51mm calibre round in use with the Irish DF, that much I
              do know

                  If I remember correctly the Swedish Army uses the AI AW model in .338 LM (and if I don't remember correctly, then they've it in 7.62 nato)

                    Irish Army uses the AW in 7.62 NATO, this is an upgrade version of the earlier L96 used by the British.

                    The .338Lapua model is called the AWM.

                    There's also a .50bmg version called the AW50.
