Rare pics of cuban personnel in Angola.
Looks like an RPD?
Ardvaark... when a Ratel and a Rooikat make a baby.
Looks like a modernised saracen
Anyone able to find a high res of that?
i know a page on instagram sells a poster of that so they must have a high res image
is this better @Springbok
G3 were used by the marines right?
@Kooijpolloi yup SAMC used them
@Bartender slightly better, shot bru
no problem mate
SAMC and the recces yoused them when they were behind enemy lines doing spec op missions
but they were dreadfull to use apparently
Ive never heard if a recce using the G3
SA Marine aiming with a g3
Recce? Using G3? Or marine?
if you go read the book salute the eagle he writes about it
but the marines also used it yes
both branches hated the rifle
@Bartender what was wrong with it?
SAND
well everything rattled and as kooij said its was more prone to fouling than the FAL
the quality of the R#s we got were crap at best
G3s*
Ah alright makes sense as SWA was quite sandy. Though the R4 was adopted to replace the R1 for the same reason as far as I recall? The R4 handled sand far better than the R1.
This thing always intrigues me whenever I see it... no idea what they were thinking when they designed it. 🤔
looks like they were trying a new replacement for the buffel that wasnt the casspir or ratel
it look like they took a buffel body and made i longer with added armor
pretty much an enclosed buffel with a ratel cockpit
In end the Buffel Mk II won out then. As this was used in the townships iirc.
id love to own one and then just make it a flatbed instead of the apc
Ah the buffel platbak
Pic of it in that $700 book...
but ill keep the armored part for when shit hits the fan
The Swerwer
That looks so ugly
