Snipers

[KBar666]

Does anyone know if there are any countries that use the CheyTac Intervention. It is probably my favorite rifle but I have never seen any pics of it in use by an actual military force.

Yeah US forces under SOCOM have used, I stress that it was used and tried not in any way issue or large numbers.

Reminder - History Channel has a 2 hour program on The Modern Sniper, including longest-distance shots, tonight (Sunday 12/20) - 9 PM Eastern, check your local etc. I see they have a thing on the evolution of the M-16 afterwards.
Sniper program repeats Monday evening, iirc.

There is no such a unit as 1st Armoured Cavalery Brigade. In Wesoła you have 1st Armoured Brigade that in fact is a mechanized brigade (only one tank battalion with 40 PT-91).

It's question of translation; in fact there is 1 Warszawska Brygada Pancerna im. Tadeusza Kościuszki located in Wesoła... I just translated Polish word "pancerna" into "armoured cavalery" what is - IMHO - much more clear for English-speaking users; is this the real problem?

No it's not.

There is a significant difference between armored units and armored cavalry units. Do not translate "armored" as "armored cavalry".

OK Corran I do agree I don't need another holy war... Just think what does word "pancerny/a" used to mean in the name of Polish Armed Forces units and haw that kind of units used to be called in most of English-speaking armed forces...
