It's the MG3 now...an improved version of the old MG42.
Has 2 firing rates IIRC 800 rpm and 1200 rpm depending on which bolt you put in.
The tanks are leases from the Germans, hence the reason why we can't modify the tanks for our own co-ax and ak-ak mounts.
The tanks are new, but give it a day and the poo dust takes care of the new paint quick. Anyone that has been to the shit hole knows what I'm talking about.
As for loving our job, you got that right. Too bad our spineless Liberal opposition members in Parliament want us out of there before the job is done....Feb '09 if they get their way.
Oh well, in a year I'll get my tour in my tank and have some fun, load it up on the AN124 and come home.
Hopefully someone will see the light and let us finish the job the dirt bags started on Sept 01.
Regards
My reward will be measured by the lethality of my crew I will train and the battlefield damage we will inflict. Let others pay in blood for their lack of readiness.
