Supporters M_P Posted August 26, 2011 Supporters 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
Supporters TPI Posted August 26, 2011 Supporters Posted August 26, 2011 Oh well 2nd line troops probably wont get until halfway through next year unless the PM decides we arnt screwed enough if someone wants to invade lol
Supporters M_P Posted August 26, 2011 Supporters Posted August 26, 2011 Well I know 7th got it ffor when they went to Afghanistan last year, but now they're back to dpm. I believe its till the 'new cut' is ready, then everyone will get it at once.
craig Posted August 26, 2011 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
Nickona Posted August 26, 2011 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 thats what i thought would be the case, its only given to Combat units, not really any point spending a lot of money getting for everyone, might aswell get better weapons
Nickona Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 well they did the upgrade from the A1 to A2 but thats just an example, buy more ammo etc. i don't know
Supporters TPI Posted August 26, 2011 Supporters Posted August 26, 2011 I do ditch it slash give it to the reserves to f*ck about with and het the regs something else
craig Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 there working on a sa80a3 it a cross between a sa80a2 and the LSW but most mongs carry the sa80 carbine were as i carried the l129 it the most modern rifle since the 80's
Nickona Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 they do look very nice, so in the army are you given much choice over your weapon?
Supporters M_P Posted August 27, 2011 Supporters 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
craig Posted August 27, 2011 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
