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?
a recce
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.
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
Similar to the Rhodesian Leopard in my opinion
well it is basically the south african leopard
its really a shame that all those vehicles are either rusting aaway in some sandf museum or already scrapped
WTF all of these vehicle's looks so ugly hoe designed these lol
The jhb war museum keeps their vehicles in working condition if possible.
War they were designed to function. Not to look good 😉
Function over form is the name of the game.
Looks like a little weeny mouse that you can just smoosh and dead
That's the first production Ratel I believe in the JHB museum of military history
ahh the ratel 20
SADF troops alongside Angolan FAPLA.
Hope to see ratels lined up like this waiting for the match timer to reach 0 as we do in vanilla SQUAD with US or Russian logis and APC's.
Hey Springbok, would you perchance have any pictures of the AWB in their camo uniform? Can't find many good pictures and when I do they're dressed in boomer attire.
