Heh, no. Armies can waste millions into high-end killing technology, but are notoriously cheapskate when it comes to providing basic equipment for grunts. And I was in no position to throw any ideas to R&D...Montana Smith said:So the FDF didn't stretch to providing something like these?
Though I figure it would have done little good. We did have leather gloves as well (for non-field dress) but only few us had thin enough fingers to fit it inside the trigger guard. Besides, any fabric inbetween tended to mess up the touch to trigger safety so most of us would probably have fired bare-handed regardless.
Conscripted, like dozens of others. So no need to overtly glorify the experience. When I was in, I mostly spent my days counting to the moment when I would be out. Now that I'm out, it's pretty much the same, minus the counting.Montana Smith said:Did you volunteer, or did this apply to you, making you a permanent reservist?
I guess I'm a reservist... at least technically. It's been years and I haven't got a single call to refresher training. *Knocks on wood* Must be another cost thing or something, since I think they recently even changed the law to dodge those calls ****-easy.
Was? Zat is no MP-44. Zee must call it STG-44, Der Fuehrer himself demands it!Montana Smith said:Ideally I'd love to own an MP44, the father of the AK-47
