C9, whats the details on it?

[Crimson Army]

Hi, im new to this site, and I am joing the army very soon. I love the C9 and hope to operate one when I get in. But Im still learning on how the Army operates with new recruits and so I want to know if I have to take any special training or be a curtain rank to use the C9?

Oh ya and dose anyone have any army video clips, I can barly find any on the net  ;D

thanks

Youll learn all about the c9 in your SQ or Soldier Qualification... youll also learn about the c7a1, c13 grenade, and in most places the c6 GPMG (General Purpose Machine Gun)

Watch "Blackhawk Down".  M249 SAW = C9 LMG.

The one they used in the movie is actually exactly like our C-9/FN Minimi, that is, with the same front handguards, no heat shield over the barrel, and tubular instead of wooden buttstock, unlike the US weapon.

......and tubular instead of wooden buttstock, unlike the US weapon.

Britney, they're not wood, but plastic, and hollow at that.

Cheers,
