    Best ammunition for M1 Garand

    Hi everyone: I recently bought a Springfield Armory M1 Garand at a local gun shop; IMVHO, this thing is a beauty! It's made up on a (possible) Navy receiver, Danish barrel, refinished dark-stained walnut wood throughout and USGI parts for everything else. It's chambered for .30-06 Springfield...

    New C-9 And C-6

    Of course...I've heard of it. You get it issued on QL4 Underwater Knife-Fighting.  ::)

    drinking and the infantry

    Just a common motto I had to share...heard this one on course and have been using it since "Work Hard, Party Hard!"  ;)

    BMQ/SQ weapons training?

    That's the exact same way it went on my SQ, bigwig, to a "T." As for firing HEAT rounds, apparently those who are involved with pre-deployment training get to fire them when doing a refresher for the Carl-G (same with the M-203, HE not Chalk.) At least this is what I've heard from others who did...

    Infantry wearing black berets?

    God help us... :o

    Infantry wearing black berets?

    ..but in my case, I feel it's the trade that counts, not what hat it comes with. As a member of the infantry, you represent the tip of the spear and the other trades are your backup; in the end, it's the infanteer who takes the trench, who storms the house, who raids enemy ground. Don't let some...

    BMQ/SQ weapons training?

    The Carl G is no longer taught on SQ (or DP1 INF); it's now up to your home unit to teach it as part of your annual IBTS Training. Also, the Carl G is now meant for Operational Training. My SQ course was among the very last serial to train on said weapon; hell our course was also among the last...

    Uh Oh --- The DREAD System!

    Assuming the DREAD Weapon System really works, my only question would be what the power requirement is to field such a weapon. The USA  looked into the idea of making weapons that could fire projectiles using electromagnetism (ie a Rail Gun); IIRC, the projects are mostly Naval Transformation...

    getting gassed

    DON'T DROP YOUR MASK! I've seen this happen several times when I trained at the Ypres Gas Huts in Meaford. Just carry out your drills with urgency; exaggerate your drills if it helps.

    Issued Tac Vest

    Wow, that's awesome! Too bad none of the other pouches are movable... ::) The Piper has brought back a good point; the modularity the vest "kinda" offers is not enough. As for the "band-aid" option PhilB went with; it sounds like a very good solution for guys who don't have money to completely...

    Last Gasp for Forsake the troops

    Wow :o, this guy is truly sad... especially near the end, he practically dug himself a hole and put both feet in his mouth... :-[

    Swedish "Para" MAG

    If Mini-Me was put in Weapons Det... ;D

    Must Have Kit, Canadian Style

    Perhaps after an Aussie Peel-Back during a quiet halt, other than that...."pulls foot out of mouth"

    Heh...of course, now I know the real reason why the Tac Vest has a Map Pocket!  ;D

    The Baked Cherry Dessert is also good for when you don't wanna completely eat it; you can take little bits here and there since it's a baked dessert (and not some liquid oddity.)

    AR 15 mags.............

    If that's the case, <A HREF="http://www.marstar.ca">MARSTAR</A> sells AR15 mags pinned for 5 rds (as well as mags for many other firearm variants.)

    AR 15 mags.............

    I've heard some good things about <A HREF="http://www.magpul.com">MAGPUL</A> products from KevinB and others. They offer the following... Enhanced Self-Leveling Mag followers Ranger Plates ...and of course, MAGPULs
