  1. Yes we were forbidden to use auto. But I was naughty and substituted it for the bren on fire and movement drills in grahams town shot 10000 rounds in one day. It got so hot I had to use my bush hat to pick it up. Smoking. Never broke and lasted right up to mugabe vote where we were in gonrezou area. Disguised as rhodesian soldiers.

  2. I was in 6sai the same time as you. I wasn't impressed with the 5.56 when the parabats had a contact next to us in the caprivi /zambia the bullet was too light for penetrative power through the long grass.

  3. My fn once shot 10 000 rounds in one day during fire and movement drills. We used my rifle instead of the bren which was a bitch to clean. Sleep is very important in basic training. I was so lucky to have it because shortly towards the end of the 80 the 5.56 reared it's ugly head. The rhodesia fal had a halbec flash hider that reduced recoil a little.

  10.  @robertliebenberg8527  if I knew what I know now I would have done more. Because the same age corrupt politicians are ruining the place. But at least we stopped the Soviets and Cubans. You're welcome

  11.  @Alexander-cg1ey  easy for you to talk. We were compulsory conscription and had little choice or knowledge pre Internet day. We were babes in the woods.

  14.  @ia285  you are a lightie. I have been in the UK where I made friends with a spitfire pilot in ww2. He spent a lot of time with his former enemy in Germany and got along fine. Just watch out for the politicians. They are the true enemy of everyone. I worked with 32 battalion in swa and we had a lot of respect for each other. The times were different then. We initially thought we were fighting against the communist onslaught. I find myself today completely in support of Putins smo. Funny old world Look forward buddy. Not back in anger. You can't change history
