I actually weighed myself once in full combat load: C9, 600rds 5.56 link, plates, water, helmet, ect.  At the time I weighed 150lbs bare-ass. Kitted up I rang in at 230. I like the idea in principle.  I'm just not sure the weight is very realistic.

Abdul, The QOR does indeed have a hard Para tasking, and jumps considerably more than other units in the area. As well as a particularly high concentration of Jumpers and Jumpmasters, we also have a particularly high concentration of Advanced Mountain Operations qualified guys, which allows us...

I know you said you didn't care, but you'll find the QOR is actually the sexiest unit in TO.  The maroon berets just look so.... elite. ;D

Fun Fact: Hot sauce can be weaponized by pouring an inch or so into into an empty water bottle, then cutting open a heater pack and pouring the chemicals in with it.  The chemical reaction causes the hot sauce to boil and become a gas, quickly filling enclosed areas (ie. portable washrooms, LAV...

Tabasco is key.  Or Frank's Red Hot.  I put that **** on everything.

Is it still called a CASW if your only intention is to direct fire it from a turret or a PWS, or is it in that case just a 40mm AGL?

Holy fuck, I'm only 25!  I can't expire yet! But on the other hand, Does that mean I get to grow a handlebar moustache?

Up until today I pretty much had a monopoly on that argument. Now, I'm the dinosaur!

If we're talking about direct fire, your point about fleeting targets and first round accuracy is moot.  There's nothing there that the C6 + 60mm combo can't already do.

So you're saying that the CASW can defeat a fleeting enemy by indirect fire with a 5-10 round burst or defeat a static target by indirect fire without significant risk to bystanders 25m away on either side?

It instils the suck, is what it does.

I got the "new replies have been posted while you were typing" message, and TechnoV already covered my point, but I'll throw this out there anyways: ***************** Sure, overall the CASW with ammo might weigh less, but a weapons system is only as man portable as it's heaviest component. A...

I know it cost me a few grey hairs! Over in C/S 3 we thought we were being mortared.

Personally, I'd prefer to be the grey man on course.... Morely, here's the PAM.  It's everything you wanted to know about CF Drill: http://www.army.forces.gc.ca/lf/Downloads/cfp201.pdf And then just do what FDO said.  Grab your buddies and call drill for each other.  And please, take the...

You're making 40mm AGL vs MMG/HMG/SRAAW arguments.  No one is denying that a 40mm AGL would have utility as a direct fire weapon. The issue is when people start advocating the CASW as an indirect weapon with the intention of replacing the mortar.  That's just crazy talk.

IMHO, girl pushups are good tool in the box, especially for beginners. They should be utilized in the same way you'd use negative (or otherwise assisted) pullups. First, max out on strict pushups with proper form. Then, max out on "girl pushups" and planks. They're useful in making...

I'm not being serious.  I'm just trolling, that's all. ;D

F**k whales.
