Army assault rifle 'lost' in Pembrokeshire

[NIB]

An Officer or Senior NCO losing thier weapon is no surprise to me. Everytime I was "locked down" in the Army was because some Officer or Senior NCO lost thier weapon. Of course we were the ones who always caught hell for it.

The best one of all was when I was in the 101st. We had a Sgt Major lose his M-9 pistol. We all got locked down in the field, complete shake down of our equipment in the dirt, tear down of everything that wasn't bolted or welded, no sleep all night. And in the end it turns out that Son of a Bees Wax Sgt Major had put his M-9 in his duffle bag and forgot about it.

And at least four powerful 9mm pistols are also officially considered lost, the Ministry of Defence admits. Only one of the guns has been recovered.

God no! Imagine the destruction that may rain down upon the U.K. with those powerful 9mm pistols out there.

Heck,

And DocZinn can probably back me up here.

I've been shoulder to shoulder shuffling back and forth shoulder deep in the surf zone off Red Beach feeling with my feet at night when someone had a rubber rifle get ripped off by a wave.

I can't imagine ever getting liberty again if a real rifle went into the drink.

In my case it was hours and hours in Kuwait walking back and forth over miles of sand looking for a 9mm lost by a RECON CAPTAIN!

DocZinn, I stand by my previous posts, apparently I wasn't the only one to understand the post the same way.

 

[carebear]

Recon CWO4 (I think that trumps a mere Captain since he was a no-joke GUNNER) didn't have deuce gear on and just stuck the M9 in the slash pocket on his Goretex jacket.

My team and I were forced to E&E through Narvik (Norway) avoiding the "come back and help us look" (some enlisted must have stole it) parties for 3 hours til they found it in a boot hole in the snow where he had bent over or something.

meh, theyll get the mag full of ammo and then it will run out. Lest they seek illegal sources of ammo, or someonw "loses" some.

Sides, arent SA_80's sposed to jame every other round

Oxymoron.

I hope you take solace in the fact that others were WRONG with you. Vane doesn't really need me to defend him, but what he said was so obvious that misunderstanding it is pathetic.

Reminds me of a fight in high school after I said "I know your mother taught you better than that," to which the reply was "Why you talkin' sh-- 'bout my mama?"

 

[cane]

Gosh, guess Vane needs someone to defend him, since he won't defend himself. Guess anyone who doesn't agree with you is always wrong, no matter how many they are.
