Gun picture thread

By the time guys get to that level it'll be like teaching Nana to suck eggs lol, I'm just wondering how intense the system is nowadays to ensure man & machine work as one.

As a young squaddie in the rgj, the emphasis on marksmanship was immense, including the tailoring your rifle.

Obviously the quality of our servicemen (& women) is still top notch, maybe any serving players can comment on weapon personalisation & emphasis nowadays ?


Probably varies from camp to camp let alone between services, but on a basic level the stuff you get issued on your gun has to stay on there, but you can move things around to wherever best fits.  The SUSAT can be slid back and forward on its' rail in to 3 different positions and from what I've seen usually people get to pick wherever fits them best.  The Elcan LDS obviously goes on pic rail so has many possible mounting spots.

As mentioned the grip-pod that is issued along with the DD pic handguard can be moved wherever is comfortable.  I'd prefer mine further out for example but with osprey on and lying prone I can't reach the thing unless it's pretty close in.  I've seen infantry guys with their own magpul AFGs and RVGs amongst other picatinny attachments.  Personally I have an aftermarket sling that's just made to look similar enough to the issued green one that people don't question it.  If you look up recent pictures of army guys on deployment (i.e. within the last 3 years) you'll see lots of examples of small variances in configuring the A2 and A3.

Lost all credibility when you referred to the SA80 as a gun... 

EDIT: My apologises, that was a really spikey response and totally not helpful. 

Assuming your serving, as the the points you make are all totally valid, just got a nibble from me reference the obvious!

By 'the SA80' do you mean the family of firearms that includes the L85?

In work I call 'em guns, gats, bangsticks, shooters and a million and one other things since saying RIFLE ad nauseum when you're literally surrounded by the things gets super boring tbh.

 
New addition arrived today 

I copied @HuttArmouries ? (The G3 is the new one)

Seems to cycle very slow , so I’m hoping it’s a battery issue

Also a total pain in the hoop to fit a claw picitinny rail to it, spent two hours cursing

Mount is now back in the box ?

Nein rifle is fine. G3s always look weird with an optic to me

Again, apologies. Put it down to being isolated in the arse end of nowhere and spending to long working with the Arty. 

They get all excited about the difference between Guns and Rifles... And it's unfortunately rubbed off on me a little. 

 
Here is my new "Speedsoft" AK.

It is not tacticool enough.

Boom! Angled Aluminium Grip, Stubby Foregrip at the top for when the stock is folded and a new CYMA Rail cover. I think I need to get an even smaller foregrip though as the one I have on their just does not look right.

Looking at this one for the moment. 

Side to side mag wobble on the Dytacs are  known to be ridiculous. So had to velcro it up. Still wobbles, but does not make a noise anymore.

Folded up.

Velcro is the ultimate mag wobble hack ?

Can your arms even reach that front RVG?
