JensF. Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Great pics, especially the one in which you can see the flying mortar round.I am surprised to see, that you use austrian weapons like the Steyr AUG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are made under licence at the Lithgow Small Arms Factory in New South Wales. Regards,Johnsy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stogieman Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Awesome thread and thank you for serving. I don't think the outside world sees nearly enough of the reconstruction teams and what they are going through to try and improve the situation in some of the remote corners of the world. Again, thanks much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
