There is nothing wrong with the FN/Inglis Hipower pistol, it is easy to shoot and handles very well (I have one ;D).  The Issued hipower just needs better sights and an ambidextrous safety.

C7/C8 system is good until laser guns or plasma blasters come out :) The only Issue I have with the rifle is the Elcan optic, I prefer the irons myself.

TCBF, Good to meet another member of the LSSR! Thanks for the info and encouragement guys  :salute: I think your right about the abs Ready Aye Ready, I do have muscle there...there is just this tiny bit of fat that seems to be very slowly going away.  Ive always been bad at running so I...

you could be right, but i find it strange that my waist line went from 32 inches to 38 (although my stomach actually appears tighter then when i had a 32 inch waist ???) Thanks for the post

Ive been a member of the CF for around a year and have done BMQ-SQ Training Im 19 years old around 5'6 tall (more like short lol) with a 43 inch chest I currently weigh around 190 pounds and have a 38 inch waistline (but for some wierd reason I dont appear to have a massive belly) The thing...

So whats your favorite piece of issued equpiment, and why? I really like the Goretex Combat Jacket, it not only looks good ;D, it works well in all sorts of weather including winter, keeps you warm and dry, has optional ventilition under the arms for when you are moving, multiple pockets, and...

I hope so, id like to go for both both BIQ and support weaps the course this summer.

Trust me, the issued magpouches are total crap, along with the idea that you should put spent magazines back into the magazine pouches :o, or check the top of the mag before loading it.  I passed the test using them, and if I passed, you should be able too as well.  ;D But mainly you close the...

Yep, the best setup would be a modular vest using the MOLLE/PALS attachment system, therefore anyone can perform any role to the best of their ability by switching up the pouches on the vest. Infanteer Rifleman, put on more magazine pouches and grenade pouches, as well as pouches for extra...

Buy something better ;D

From my experience the Wellco Jungle boots are excellent.  They work very well if your like me and have really nasty sweaty feet since they allow your foot to breath better then the black cadillacs or the WWB.  They are also great when you are constantly on the move, or in conditions where your...

Magpulls work pretty good too... I second the Maxpedition rollypolly for a dump pouch.   Although the "proper" way is to put the mags back into the mag pouches, this can get you killed.  In a section attack, you can grab an empty mag with the "proper" method of changing mags, believing it to...

I absolutely agree regarding the goretex boots, they are great for keeping water out, but if they get wet (ie stream crossing), they are never going to dry out. I carry a pair of Wellco OD Green jungle boots (the modern type, not the nam era ones) in my ruck for either very hot conditions, or...

Niss, I sent you guys an email regarding the CADPAT cam nets... 8)

My thoughts exactly, Ive got a MODULAR vest coming in pretty soon, made by High Speed Gear. I can understand "You must all be the same troops" on a BMQ course, but truly, not all soldiers are built the same, or have the same preferences.   Modularity is the way to go.  Its kind of sad when...

A real good and easy (as in no gym membership required easy! ;D) workout is weight running...it could be done on the side of the highway. I do this now since there is not a real good gym on the University im at. I load a Patrol pack up with weights (be reasonable at first!).  A good start is...
