who uses what weapon?

[purple peguin]

Do the higher ranks ie. sargent- master warant officer possibly officers use the heavyer weapons like the c9, c6 or carl G . Or is it the privates,cpl,mcpl who carry larger weapons. Or is it regarding training?

Listen muffin,   you've been on this forum for 2 days and made 40 posts.   Perhaps you should post less and read more!!   You are wasting a lot of bandwidth and time which could be saved with a bit of research.

Pte. M,


Are you wft'ing the initial post or the reply to it???

 

[JimmyPeeOn]

;D HEHEHEHEHEHEHE!!!!

Think about it for a minute...do you actually think a CSM is going to carry around a damn near 30lb support weapon (not to mention ammo)  when there is perfectly good privates like me around to do that for him?  Odds are no.  The Higher ups (WO and above) need to be in about a million and a half places at once, hence due to mobility req's, they tend to carry the smaller weapons eg pistol and rifle or carbine.

Long story short you would find the Pte's/Cpl's dragging the fun stuff.


Cheerz

Having said all of the above, purple peguin should probably also be told that all ranks learn how to fire C6, C9 and Carl G during IBTS trg (i.e. working on the premise that ya never know who's goin' to get wounded ... and therefore everybody needs to be able to pick up these wpns and keep 'em working ...)

And now, I'm going to go Google and see if a peguin is related to the penguin ...

 

[JimmyPeeOn]

I agree with that totally

Usually in the army there are many stages of weapons training.
-BMQ usually teaches you the basic service rifle,  the C7
-Soldier qualification will teach you the remainder of the small arms C9 LMG C6 GPMG , Carl G 84mm, M72 and C13 grenade
-Battle school (Combat arms only) will refine the skills attained during the SQ.

What you've got to remember is even the crustiest of CSM/RSM's were privates at one point and had their share of it too.

Cheers and good luck

 

[Da_man]

SQ is only C6, C9 and C13.  The Carl G, mortar and other stuff is on BIQ

 

[purple peguin]

Makes more sense now thanx.

....What you've got to remember is even the crustiest of CSM/RSM's were privates at one point and had their share of it too.

Back in the dark ages when I was a Pl WO I sometimes humped the 60mm mortar, and/or bits and pieces for the GPMG and/or 84mm. That young whipper snapper M/Cpl Wpns Det Comd never let me play with though.

Crusty the Warrant ;D

I got to know Carl on my SQ along with the M72 and intro to mortars (no live fire though  :'()

Oh, and Danjanou, I realize some exceptions are made, but I was just making a general statement.

SQ was redesigned recently to exclude the Anti-Armour weapons.  My crse (reserve) this summer did not have either.

I believe it's been moved into infantry BIQ.

I did one in the reserves that included the fun stuff and one in reg's this past summer that did'nt include anti-armor.  I didn't know that changed, I just thought it was a lack of funds on our "in house" soldier qual.

 

[dw_1984]

Well my SQ was done in LFCA.  We asked bout the AA weapons but they said it wasn't on the crse anymore.  I know that we had money problems as well because they let us off crse 2 days before it was supposed to end (atleast that was their reason for the early dismissal).

 

[brihard]

I did my reserves SQ and BIQ last summer. We used the C9, C6, and C13 on our SQ, and then fired the M203 and 60mm mortar on BIQ. The SRAAW H and L were both left to unit level training. We got to fire  a concrete training round out of the Carl G, and a 22mm insert out of the M72... It was fun stuff, but I understand that it's not like the past where those to weapons were both thoroughly covered in battle school.

 

[NATO Boy]

Also, the Carl - G is now for Operational Theatre TRNG only. As for the M72, I remember hearing that this AA weapon was being phased out from the CF...

 

[PPCLI MCpl]

On Op Harpoon, my Pl WO carried the 60mm mortar.  MCpl's carried M203's.  As a senior Cpl, I carried the C-6.  Another (very) senior Cpl carried the 84mm and, believe it or not, the Pl Comd carried half the Eryx.

 

[purple peguin]

Thanks for all the info, recently a craftsman told me that everyone in the cf has a chance to fire the c6, c9 and c7.
