thanx Goldman, really nice photos...

do you know bullet capacity?

[Michael RVR]

Mainly 30's (though there is a shot up there of one with a 42 round mag on it).

I hear you can also get 10-15 round mags also, but have never seen one.

[digrar]

Do a search for malaysians at AASAM, they apparently use the short mags so they can get a stable firing platform.

Royal Marines only get the green beret WHEN they have finished Phase 1. During training they wear a navy blue beret with a red flash behind the cap badge. But yes, they are probably cross-training p-)

The pictures are from the recon competition "Austrian Patrol" 2001. IMO all participants carry AUG because they weren't allowed to bring in their weapons. Austria is not a NATO member

Obviously its better, and packs more punch out of a shorter overall length than an M-4.

what sight is this being used?

It's an Elcan 3.8x Wildcat scope. That picture was taken at a Shooting Competition in Australia, where they probably used the locals rifles, so I'm not sure if they are a standard bit of kit for the NZDF. It would make sense to use them in the DMR role.

[uTu]

gotcha, cheers mate. dunno how well I'd go with a gas mask on, have trouble with goggles atm

[wiking]

Looks like the same the Canadians have on the C7's, but i can't remember what it's called.


added:
Seems like someone answered before me.

[fernleaf]

Yep, and the Yanks have the same scope on their SAWs and some GPMGs, I think. Aussies put it on F88s and F89s. Any country that uses C7A1s will use them too, no doubt.

As for shooting with a gas mask on, anyone who has tried to shoot an SLR while wearing an S6 respirator will know know exactly how hard it is!! Much easier with the newer S10.

Anyhow, let's see some more photos of the AUGie, eh??

[BiZ]

Looks like the same the Canadians have on the C7's, but i can't remember what it's called.

Hence why everyone outside of Aus says "aussies use Diemacos" wheven they see an Colt M4 with a Wildcat on it......

They've been used as enemy uniforms in the past (not the best idea).

as dig said usually aussies use em as en party dress..

the nz army rifle shooting team has there own specific rifles that are stored in trentham and only used for competitions

the wildcat is generally issued to recce pl and sometimes the rifle coys..we usually have 2 per recce det here

whats with the part that fills the space between the upper receiver and scope rail? It seems it has holes for mounting accessories? Anyone can ID that please?

[PrincessRAR]

which bit the picitinny rail?

yeah we had two "ficticious enemy" based around rela world countries. that was kamaria and mousoria. with the shift in world events its moved from kamaria to mousoria - but cams now are just desert cams DPDU.

we used to use the yank 6 chip and 3 stain but not anymore - or maybe some reserve units got them.

shooting with gas masks is actually quite challenging. you cant apply marksmsneship principles becuase your breathing gets messed up. you eyes fog and it gets hell hot.

AASAM is a ball, if any of you guys from other countries get a chance to come - go for it.

4. they are probably in cross training with the Austrain Army from the look of the instruction standing at the back.

me 2 cents worth

RGBW (Royal Gloucestershire, Wiltshire and Berkshire Regiment, aka the M4 Rifles) now part of the new Light Division Regiment.

The red flash is an inverted triangle not the tombstone RM nods, cadets and bandsmen/women wear. They also wear (wore?) the old Glosters sphinx cap badge on the rear of their berets (don't know if the LI will let them keep that one?).

These guys are kiwis. The NZ army uses the Steyr, and they also use their variation of DPM.

On page 2, there is an image of a soldier in DPM with a Steyr AUG. It says he is a British Para. This is incorrect. The British Army uses different helmets, and they don't use the Steyr AUG.

Good pics, keep em coming! :D

EDIT:

The pictures are from the recon competition "Austrian Patrol" 2001. IMO all participants carry AUG because they weren't allowed to bring in their weapons. Austria is not a NATO member

OK, I was mistaken on the first pic then. Just thought they looked like kiwis.

Did you not read what I posted?

It is a British Para champ, they do exchanges with our paras all the time..and guess what....they use our gear when they're here......that means our helmets......as you see in the pic with this bloke on an exchange during an exercise.

RGBW (Royal Gloucestershire, Wiltshire and Berkshire Regiment, aka the M4 Rifles) now part of the new Light Division Regiment.

The red flash is an inverted triangle not the tombstone RM nods, cadets and bandsmen/women wear. They also wear (wore?) the old Glosters sphinx cap badge on the rear of their berets (don't know if the LI will let them keep that one?).

[BiZ]

Fudge, since it appears you're only new (7 posts) I'll give you a little tip before you upset poor Royal again.

If you spot a funny photo etc, or something you feel you can put your 2 cents worth into, and the thread has 5-6 pages already.....chances are that someone else has already brought the matter up and it's been answered....so take the time to read the other 5 pages or so of posts before jumping in with the "you're all wrong" type post...... this little tip will save your nuts from the kiddies if you decide to post in regards to anything else.

I'm not having a go at you either since everyone thinks I always am.

Photos from any current or recent serving members of 1 NZSAS Grp would NOT be published showing recognizable faces, especially when the photos are NZ Army releases.

Identity supression and privacy are taken quite seriously here. It's a big part of why I haven't posted very many personal photos.

Those photos are likely members from Task Group Crib in Afghanistan.

Unless there's been a radical change in procurement strategy in the last six months, the AUG isn't due to be replaced until 2010 or there abouts. The C9 too for that matter.

If this is the case, it marks a distinct turnaround from the mid-1980s. When NZ was contemplating a new service rifle, the US offered us M16A2s at a third of the price of the Aussie F88s, and we could make some parts (magazines, bayonets etc.) ourselves. This was just before ANZUS broke down, and an obvious political buy, but you can understand wanting to maintain similarity with Australia. Another political buy was the C9s. We were offered M249s at a lot cheaper unit rate.

Defence procurement strategy is in the public domain. Most public libraries would have a copy(s). At least in theory. If not then you can always request one. There is always stuff on the shopping list, but big buys like twenty thousand new rifles, etc, usually gets planned out well in advance, ie, ten to twenty years.

As an aside 110 posts, 7 pages, and we still have yet to see an arseclown state categorically and/or definatively that the Steyr AUG/F88/IW is the 'worst weapon in the world'. That's got to be a record...

ADI, who make Aussie Steyrs, do not have the licence to make the A3 (which is essentially a whole new rifle design and not simply a tricked up A2).
ADI also use their own designations for their rifles and modifications, this would be an F88 A4 with M203 mount, minus the M203.

http://www.adi-limited.com/2-01-010-010-026.html

The ones you see with Picittiny rail mounts are F88SA1/A2's by Aussie designation.

Hey biz,can u see the warning label nearby the mag? It's a marui label for all airsoft series.Dun tell me the dig will put it on the real-steel for fun.

I've heard tat dig using airsoft for trainin before but i dun know whether's it's real.

[BiZ]

I sure can see it, considering I posted the photo this time, and the first time you all saw it (regarding the new helmet being introduced).

I never said it wasn't airsoft, what I am saying is that it's an official ADF photo.
I'd assume they used an airsoft weapon (which normal people cannot buy or import into Australia) simply for the photo shoot at an ADI location somewhere.

The ADF does not use airsoft for training, and I'd be suprised why any LE/Military would use it when Simmunition is actually realistic, more accurate, more painful, and uses real weapons....

[digrar]

IIRC it's a pic from DSTO (defence science and technology organistation), who probably find it more convenient to have a pretend rifle lying around for demonstrations rather than having a proper armoury with real F88's in it.

[BiZ]

DSTO..ADI...same thing. ;)

You got in before me, wasn't contradicting, there's every chance it is another dangerous implement. ;)

Mainly 30's (though there is a shot up there of one with a 42 round mag on it).

I hear you can also get 10-15 round mags also, but have never seen one.

you can also get a 100 round drum..,mainly used with the lsw version of the styer..Army Ranger Wing used it til they changed to the minimi.
I had a go on it and it was cumbersum,,didn't sit right when holding the pistol grip.

How well does this weapon perform in comparison to a C7A2.
