I'm still getting hit up for beers the Shotgun Vid. Dobs are paid but once, not a repeat free beer card!
So for the experts here, the C9 is being phased out completely, is that what they are doing? So we're back to how it was sort of pre-90 when the GPMGs were down at sect level?
Are they still sticking with the 2 x fire team concept per sect or will it be just one gun per sect now?
Looks like a nice gun. Would I be correct in assuming the thinking has gone around the cycle again and the arguments in favour of ditching the GPMG and going to the 5.56mm LSW way back when have now come back through? I'd imagine recent experience shows they want bigger thump at section level. We ain't spending too much time in the jungle these days.
Not really. Its more based on section level lethality. The NZ conducted a study into what would be the required engagement ranges for all our weapon systems vs current and predicted threat groups. And this was weighed against other factors i.e. mobility, flexibility. Basically we need to shoot XXXX to defeat and enemy because he has XXXX range with his weapons. But be able to effectively move as a light infantry section in all terrains. It tie's into why or where the like of our DMW, GMG's and Steyr upgrades come from and are justified
5.56 couldn't do it, and 2 X MAG-58's were to much of a weight trade off for like of movt etc. (Sections have access to a MAG-58 since 99) The 7.62 FN has the range and flexibility. It won't replace 58's in DFSW or on vehicles but will replace all C-9s.
