its a little booklet that comes out every so often to keep troops update about things such as revised ways to clean your rifle to new bits of kit for tanks. I find it very interesting but perhaps i'm a total cabbage!:oops:

Good on the British CoC for taking the initiative and getting info like that out to the troops. Better that than to have the rumor mill going 25 hours a day.

That magazine is awesome.

Is there any bigger pictures of the new A2 anywhere? The pics in the magazine are a bit small...

‘picatinny rail’ hand guards have been designed that can be fitted to the rifle,
bringing it in line with most modern firearms and even AK47s!!

Since when has the AK47 been the standard for comparing modern day assault rifles?

I think the point is "even the AK-47 has rails" and not that the AK is a modern weapon

Question for you all,

Any one heard about the fate of the SUSAT yet? I heard some rumour's that the SUSAT's days were numbered and with some pics of SA80's with ACOGs or assorted red dot sights filtering out of Afghanstan, whats the word on the SUSAT?

I did spot some pictures of the new ACOG and mount a few months back, I'll see if I can find them again...
