LR3s in Afghanistan WTF

[Andrew Homan]

So I was on a NATO base yesterday and saw a little mini fleet (3)of up-armored LR3s. Looked great. Couldn't get pics as it was a no photograph area.

I assume they were for some Brit General. Did get a photo of me and a Defender 130 but the pic was to large to upload on D-web.

Expect more worthless posts from me as we are in lockdown till the elections are over and I'm bored:banghead:

I'm sure that provides a convincing argument

How is the grippod?

How is the grippod?

Not bad. Not as stable on the ground as the factory bipod but better for shoulder fire. I'm in and out of vehicles all the time with it so the grip works better for me.

I bet that thing is heavy, how much does it weigh?

Its not as bad as you would think. I don't know the exact weight. Now a 240 bravo or gulf is much heavier than the 249 SAW. I'm still learning my belt fed weapons and I'm sure there are guys on this board that know much more about them than I do.

I prefer this

Send the pics to Ho, and we can make a special page.

Axel is his email on the discoweb site?

Also spoke with some Norwegian troops at that base.

 

[Axel]

Yes, it's on the 'Contact' page. hochung@discoweb.org

Say hi to the Norwegians for me if you see them again!

And your wife told you to keep your head down until you retired and you retired to go to Afghanistan?

Are you sure you weren't smoking the green in Oregon?

Weren't those built for the Princes to drive?

There was a big write-up in one of the Land Rover magazines about the Princes going on Safari and then to the war zone in LR3s and motorcycles.

agreed.... they used to be scared of the side arm, but have grown a custom to it now.
