arming a 7 man section

last SG · 2005-09-10T14:57:01+00:00

yes, we would all love to change our loadouts as we go from mission to mission. But how often do you actually get a chance to chance weopons from mission to...

insouciant SG

How would you arm a standard SAF 7 man section ensuring that everyone gets a decent loadout and perhaps to make it a little more focus, the section has to be designed to fight in urban and jungle terrain.

SMAPLionHeart SG

All carry bazooka

Twisted Evil

SMAPLionHeart SG

Make them carry bulletproof vests as well.

Thick Ceramic plates with Kevlar vest.
Transported by Bronco.

i wouldnt go to war without bulletproof vests

Rolling Eyes

Malaysia is spread among a hundred of kilometres , with or without bulletproof vest , without transportation , it is impossible to fight.

fkh SG

1 man carrying M60 machine gun and radio ( calling for aerial support and naval missile strike or artillery strike.)

2 men carrying sniper rifle ( for assassination of key leaders of enemy forces)

4 men carrying M16, SAR 21 or M203 ( assault )

insouciant SG

Wah lao.. Your M60 gunner/signaller won't be able to move very far very fast if at all... Unless he is build like Mr. Universe. Very Happy

Obersturmfuhrer SG

Obviously watched too much Rambo and other AMERICAN war movies. When you are actually lugging combat loads you'll be more realistic.

Gedanken SG

Given that the US is dumping M60 for the M240 (aka the GPMG used by SAF), selecting the M60 is already a big step backwards. It's extra weight for no gain in performance.

That must be some MG gunner who can provide cover fire and call for support at the same time - I'm very impressed.

sgFish SG

make all 7 men FAC trained

and call in the airstrikes Mr. Green

insouciant SG

Gd luck if the enemy is within a 100metres and none of your FAC men are carry a single weopon between them.

Isn't this better?

chronicles SG

most people forgot anti tank weapons

Raptor937 SG

What do you mean by handgrip for spraying? Confused

Lance_han SG

a additional handgrip adjusted to your weapon for added stability when firing full auto a`la Rambo Laughing

chronicles SG

At times when the enemy is pursueing you, you have no time to aim semi-auto carefully.So just use the handgrip turn to auto and spray, handgrips are better for spreading around the area when shooting

fudgester SG

Uh... dude.... I'm sure that with your configuration, the men will be armed to the teeth.... but isn't all that equipment a wee bit too heavy? Confused

Raptor937 SG

So I believe you are talking about a pistol grip or in Lance_han's post a foregrip.

But the development of the pistol grip on rifles is simply an offshoot of improved ergonomics. It is just more comfortable to shoot a rifle with a pistol grip, unlike on a traditional rifle where the shooter would have to 'cock' his wrist at a roughly 45-degree angle in order to shoot it. When carrying a rifle with a pistol grip, your wrist is allowed to stay straight and inline with your lower arm, which is simply more comfortable.

I don't see how it makes it easier to spread your shots, but it does make it more comfortable.

chronicles SG

FOWARD HAND GRIP!!!!not pistol grip.Fudgester, some of my configuration are same as navyseals.com.Navy seals also have radioman which doubles as genraider..i have also seen spec ops photos of people with machine gun and LAW
