Last weekend I helped to burn up 16,000 rounds of 7.62, and they came out of 8 M-60's. Only burned 2000 rounds of .50.

DSGobie, you're making me feel old. I was rated expert (Army rating) on the M60 and carried that thing for a long time. It saved my life once.
The Ma-Deuce was fun, but we didn't have much use for it except on the HQ tracks. I stayed away from HQ duty as much as possible.

Anyone know what the canadian army is using as their personal weapon now? ( I know that will encourage some wise comments ) When I was in it was the FN A1 C1 7.62 mm. I think I could still clean one in my sleep. We used to rag on the 5.56 mm as being too light and High velocity. As a sailor tho the SMG or browning 9mm was more useful for boarding parties.

Nowadays, the Canadian Forces use the C7A1 Service Rifle. it's NATO 5.56 cal, and weighs just short of 9 lb when loaded with a 30-round magazine. Very similar to the American M16 - I believe it field-strips down the same - although all the Canadian ones have been modified to replace the 'carrying handle' with a light-enhancing optical sight.
Besides, I sure wouldn't want to be carrying the FN any distance! ...I sorta pity the C9 LMG guys. They ahve to carry the machine gun, its spare barrel and EIS, as well as boxes of ammo.. PLUS all the usual personal kit.........

My girlfriend, a chief warrant officer 4 (CW4?), taught her young son and daughter to respond: "Yes she does, and they are highly shined!"

I remember the childish insult growing up, "Yer momma wore combat boots." I used to tell other kids proudly, yes, my momma DID wear combat boots! She had her parents sign their consent, back in WW2, when it was less common for women to be in the military. My parents met at a USO club in West Berlin, and my dad bought her engagement ring on the black market with some packs of cigarettes. And here I am today!
