The Falklands 1982

Re: The Falklands 1982

Again, a point of clarification, my Coy CO is not the Officer receiving the gift and retiring, the officer retiring is far older and at based at my TS specifically. A LT Cmdr (RNR) who worked from the bottom up and took the time to coach several very successful shooting teams (not to toot my own horn but I myself won the best shot in service and best shot in the area Inter-Service shoots under his instruction...TOOT)

Re: The Falklands 1982

@ Systema- No worries mate, glad to be of help in some way. Thats very interesting stuff you mention mate & good luck with it all.

@ Nickona- Yeah it fired...once, though not by me i have to add (i wish) its a RS LAW not the airsoft Deepfire one. Sadly forum rules mean i cant say where i got it, but it was from a Very well known airsoft retailer funnily enough. But don't search for it though- it isnt listed on their site, it was a case of the owner knowing i was interested in one & sold me one from his collection.

I know it's not strictly a Falklands load out but it's the basis of my late 80's early 90's will add pics of me with the SLR and 58 webbing soonact of valour 9.jpgact of valour 15.jpgIMAG0005.jpg

Re: The Falklands 1982

oh hell yes and rusty i notice u got a WE Browning what r they like

Re: The Falklands 1982

I was quite late in picking up the WE Browning because i was always sceptical about gas guns. i had a gas M4 once for about a week & had nothing but bother with it. But as i always fancied a Browning i decided to get one & tbh wish id done it sooner. Its Cracking wee pistol, has a good feel & mine fires great & is reliable & its saved my bum in a fair few skirmishes. So no complaints here

Re: The Falklands 1982

well i got a KJW GBB Sig 226 and its lovely but have heard bad reports about the WE Browning so i was going along the 1911 route for my 80's loadout

Re: The Falklands 1982

Really? no i wouldnt say ive had anything issues with mine that would make me want something else...other than thinking of picking up the WE SIG P226 for later impressions. As a matter of fact, i cant think of a time when the Brownings let me down when ive went to use it. Granted i dont use it every game, the M16 or SLR sees all the action tbh Maybe if i were playing CQB type games & using it a lot more often, some of the 'issues' may appear. But like i say mines been great.
