     It depends on the amount of training time put in during each training session, per week, month, year.   If one trains once a week for 2 hours, compared to the same individual who trains 5 times a week for 4 hours, all things else being the same, who would be more effective?      ...

    It's funny you should bring up that point.  I have a friend who's father was a former member of our ERT team.  She said, that he would come home and tell them stories how he would kick a knife out of someones hand.  ::)  I has to be one of the dumbest things to do.  If someone is intent on...

Yeah, I've heard of SCARS, it's all marketing and from I've been told by guys that have actually been to the seminars for it, it's not even that effective.  There is a high reliance on pressure point tactics that, I feel, have no place in 'combat'.  Try to tap someone three times in the arm and...

:dontpanic: ;D

     I thought the little bit of growth on the face was waaaaay sexier..... ;)

Joe Blow and GW - Good posts

C7 training, high speed magazines and JTF patrol vests, I wish I had all this stuff back when I was in cadets...  I never said the issue mags weren't good, well, at least the ones that aren't too beat up, but just wanted to see if the HK mags are considerably better.  If something improves your...

    Why can't the steel mag be used properly in an alloy receiver, or is that just the L85/L86 mag being used for the M16 series?  I was under the impression that HK developed these mags for the M16 series also, is this a different High Reliability mag?      Also, looking forward to...

The one thing I'm always left wondering is; "Where does Kevin get all of these pictures?"

Well, seeing as many weapon malfunctions are magazine and ammo related and how the current mags are produced en masse and the amount of abuse they take, I'm not sure how you come to that understanding.  Just as anyone who shoots a 1911 will know to use wilson combat mags in it, because of the...

Has anyone used or seen these mags?  Just wondering if they do what they say they will do.  Not that a M16/C7/AR15 will jam that often when clean and with good ammo...  http://www.hkdefense.us/pages/military-le/special%20applications/sa80mag.html

Well, thanks for sorting that out, Kevin.   I'm sure that info is going to save some people a lot of money...

Back to the Trijicon for a minute.  Why is the ACOG compact (TA31) better than the full size (TA01)?  Is it just that the compact has the fibre optic on the top for CQB and therefore a better CCO, being the only reason?  Also, if shooting only at distances past 200 metres will the TA01 suffice...

I find that the general relaxation of lack of discipline from the europeans is in direct relation to their culture and work ethic.  While touring France and Belgium on their honeymoon, my sister and her new husband said that the european were very lax and preferred to have fun and not take so...

    Sounds pretty bang on to me.     I remember back in high school when people would say things to others to make themselves look better or to try to impress others.  It usually was counter productive and often caused the exact opposite of what they wanted.  This is not directed towards...

    That is rather sad.  I guess it's still a very well rounded 'combat' pistol, if used only in a dry environment.  Like that is a pretty big negative.....

So basically a whole new vest?  ;)  perhaps a CADPAT paraclete RAV, crye precision armoured chassis hybrid.....

Just don't get the Kimber wet eh Kevin!!!  Oddly enough my USP Tactical doesn't have any submersion issues.   Also, the 12rd mag, threaded barrel, and several trigger variants arent a bad idea

Well, that's good to hear.  Up until a little while ago, I still saw the old stuff ready for issue at the QM.  I still remember the old stuff from my army cadet days, however we were allowed to wear our own shoes and shorts...

While checking out the crye stuff, I came the the conclusion that if a shirt like the combat shirt were adopted, it would probably be motivation enough for some members to get into better shape.
