I'd be hitting the armourer for a new firing pin for those bad boys after our experience in Timor.
Watch your thumb brother!!M79, its been seen briefly before in Afghanistan.
Great to shoot, a cvnt to carry
So according to some ARes fella's, the Reserves are going to be feeling it fvcking bad due to these budget cuts... to the point where it will probably take years to recover from and operational capabilities cut.
So much for the budget cuts not having an negative impact hey Mr. Smith? Fvckhead.
From Defence.gov.au some pics from A-stan.
I wonder what that DEVGRU shorty M79 would be like to shoot? Although it looked a lot easier to stow on webbing.
Care to explain, please ?
I guess that if you shot the M79 in that way you will burn your thumb as the barrel gets hot. But it´s only a speculation, I´m sure that any M79 user will correct me if I´m wrong.
Think more along the lines of recoil and the front sight...
The safety catch will slice your thumb webbing open pretty good.
That it will, cant really stitch that area of the hand and it bleeds like crazy!!
Back in the day you'd never see a digger with their back thumb over like that, interesting that it only takes a decade to lose that bit of corporate knowledge.
When i recently learnt to use one, they seemsed to care more about the thumb than if we could actually fire the thing straight!! I guess it just comes down to the instructors.
Can you provide any details?
Not at the present. I'm hoping some info will be inbound shortly.
I was considering applying for the Army again, this time as ARes while I am studying fulltime, but if the cuts are going to be as brutal as it sounds, I can't see the point.
