Supporters M_P Posted August 26, 2011 Supporters Share Posted August 26, 2011 That's the point of MTP though, its good everywhere but not specialised @craig, I realise, but they still use it on camp atm, when I was moving house from colchester I was on the camp there for a bit, didn't see much MTP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 MTP should only be worn on parade or the green zone and when i was there it was only given to combat units and not the mong's or stab's as for a load out what about a modern German rig since webbing also come's in flecktarn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickona Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 they do look very nice, so in the army are you given much choice over your weapon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters M_P Posted August 27, 2011 Supporters Share Posted August 27, 2011 I'd guess the weapon is down to how good at shooting you are, no point giving the l129a1 to someone who's crap. The only way I can see the l85 getting better is to perhaps make say, the lower receiver out of a polymer to reduce weight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 it wasn't about how good a shot you are it whether you did a WHT on it, or do what i did and pulled rank as for a choice in weapon no not really but you can swap with in your section Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
