I am curious, who is chosen to use the c9, and how the descision is made?
Any thoughts, or info would be great ;D

XtremeEuph said:This one is based full on common sense. "Who would I trust most with, and who would perform best as a section machine gunner" is most likely what the IC is saying to him/herself. I am only a Gunner (Pte), but it seems quite apparent that they will choose the individuals who obviously perform better drills on the C9 LMG, but who also are most responsible with a third of the sections fire power, and who can carry the extra weight around no problem. The part about the drills also goes along with who can coordinate fire best from one side of a section to another (section attacks with 2 C9's alternating), and who has good individualist skills, knowing when and where to deploy the c9 LMG. If the individual has a machine gunners course, obviously it will be taken into account, assuming that the course has improved their drills above and beyond the average.
Stop and think about it, Its not that hard.
Take care,

BulletMagnet said:I think #4 is IMO the best option the Machine gunner is a semi independent postion that requires the experience to move shoot and communicate independently of the the main body to suppress the enemy so the Rifleman can close the distance to the tgt.
he needs to have the experience to make critical decisions on his own and not require the section commander to move him or employ him while also fighting the riflemans maneuver battle.
The Dunnminator said:I think it should be on a random basis, every infantry soldier must be able to handle the c9 no matter how big, tall or old they are.
Not to derail this thread even farther, we do train every soldier to use the C9, before you deploy you will do weapons handling tests on the C9. We just do not have the ammunition budget or the time to let everyone do a PWT on the weapon.The Dunnminator said:Yeah but also improve your weaknesses to make them strenghts, you'd expect a soldier whose job is to handle firearms on a daily basis to be competent with every weapons he has to use. If you only train one gunner and he gets shot down, every single member of the section should be able to take his place. I am not the biggest expert and I am not prentending to be, I was just giving my opinion.

The best answer yet....hey wait a minute, I always carried the C2, then the C9....
Okay,
Let me get this straight. You are 17, and have never worn green, unless the occasional St. Paddy's day. You join a forum directed towards Canadian Military. You ask a question with regards to the use of a Weapon, within an organization. You have had this question answered by people who have not only served our nation, but used this Weapon in combat. Now you want to turn this around into a debate, and offer your opinion??
Do you not see the comedy of errors in that? Here, I advise that you click on this link, to help you with some more of your questions/opinions.
