| I was watching this last night on the Military Channel and I'm trying to find out what type of rifle it was that the Irish Defense Force was using. My search-fu is weak and I havn't been able to find a pic. It did have a twisted barrel if that helps. Thanks |
| i was surprised that only one team, the Army Rangers, was able to hit the 700m target twice on the first and second shot. no one else hit it twice, and a lot of the teams didnt hit it at all. I think the Marine team hit it once. i saw a lot of AR10s, and various bolt .308s. all those guns were so awesome though, and many had suppressors too. |

What a great series. Watched again last night on the Military channel. Only one team hit the tennis ball - everyone else played it safe.
There is some truly remarkable equipment being used by some INCREDIBLY talented marksmen. I need to get my TRG out, I've been inspired. (have to try that tennis ball shot)

Both running Schmidt and Bender glass. They kicked arse with the Barret fifties, even though they do not generally field any .50 rifle. Happy are you now, lad? Buy me a Guinness, and I'll tell you everything ya need to know about Rugby and how my people stomped the Legionnaires in a recent match. Now, where is that third pint you owe me?

(have to try that tennis ball shot) Yes it is amazing how good one can become with world class trainer's & plenty time for training & money for the best weapons money can buy are at your fingertips.:) But you have to want it. |
