the only SIG worth posting tbh, it's a SIG P210 m/49 Neuhauser, we're still using these because there really is no finer 9mm service handgun, you can't really improve on perfection. (well okay, we're gradually retiring them in favor of P320's, but it's going to stick around in Home Guard service for many years yet)
To be fair, pretty much ever Sig gun is nearly perfect. Never shot a 210, but I have shot a 220, 226, and 228 in various calibers and they were all just phenomenal.
if you get a well maintained one, it's a work of art, we got basic qualifications on them alongside rifles because, well it's a service arm you gotta know how it works, just like the MG's and it's easily the nicest shooting thing i've ever handled especially the trigger is really nice compared to a C7A1, granted my sample size is not that big tho.Quote:

British Army Drops FN Minimi, 60mm Mortar and L86 Light Support Weapon

I don't have any experience of the 60mm mortar but from what I'm aware a lot of people would rather have stuck with the 51mm as the additional capability wasn't worth the extra weight.
Don't you have 40mm?Quote:

the Brits went with the MILAN over the Gustav for company level AT, so they never got the "sergeants multi-tool" setup the Gustavs and RPG-7's offer, hence why they kept mortars around, plus they're pretty useful in the sort of terrain you see in say Afghanistan.
soviets were already fully mechanized by Afghanistan so could carry around 82mm mortarsQuote:

Alexander actually successfully invaded Afghanistan, conquered it, founded some cities,* settled it with his Ionian veterans and then went on. Only following his death and the rule of his general Seleucus (of Seleucid dynasty fame/founding) did those veterans and their offspring declare independence, run a Greek kingdom for 300 years and their language and coinage stayed for even longer. The Afghan word for Greek is "Ionian."Quote:

Like most Brits i've never fired a gun. But i've never really felt any great urge to do so. Can anyone explain what is so awesome about it? I've noticed that shooting fans get pretty fanatical (even by hobby standards, wall of which can get super neckbeard-ish) and absolutely love it. Whats the atttraction?
As i said, genuine question....i'm trying to phrase it in a way that doesn't sound biased, take it in the spirit its intended.
It's a bit like sex. Hence people with size deficient organs are so drawn to it.
for me it was several things the actual feeling of shooting and hitting a target is quite exhilarating because it takes skill to do, so there is also an aspect of improvement over time. And secondly for me there was a father/son thing of respect that i felt good because my dad had decided that i was responsible enough to take me shooting with him.Quote:
