ds1 Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 Nostalgia days of pistol shooting- when a hard chromed fame with blue slide .45 1911 was where it was at...... (remember the Graham Titus days at St. Just, John? ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ds1 Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 That he was.......and explosives. The wheels came off when Roger Pope got banged up for embezzling the P.O. I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popsbengo Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 Re the procedure in the first film, I recall we were taught (in '74) to rack the action three times when unloading and presenting for clearance on the line. I've a copy of "Pamphlet No.1; Infantry Training" - it sets out the tests etc but not the taught detail. Am I right in my recall or is (was) it as per the film, racked once? As an RCO I've always insisted on any fixed magazine rifle (eg under-lever) that can't be easily visually checked be racked three times.

John MH Posted February 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 Racking the action three times was to remind the operator to remove the magazine if they had omitted that step. L85 drills do not require the action to be racked three times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite right then, good not going senile: I was of course referring to SLR not SA80 back in the day 😃 We did go through SA80 procedures at Whittington Bks when I was a reserve some time in 1980's but for the life of me I can't recall anything other than massive disappointment with the sh1te presented 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brown dog Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 The ND film just makes me wince; it's so horribly sh1t... no frenzy of first aid, utter lack of urgency, no preservation of evidence, ROS starts questioning bystanders,or maybe, guilty parties, (thereby destroying due process) ...next to the casualty or body( he doesn't know which beyond 'looks nasty'!) and on and on.... its just squirmingly, utterly awful. A 'naive' film in the true meaning of the word! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 Not much better than training films used by the cops a few years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saferider Posted March 29, 2021 Report Share Posted March 29, 2021 What a blast from the past(pun intended) remember having to watch it in basic training at RAF Swinderby in 1980 on on GDT refresher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
