White Lodge Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 I think it must be the biggest regiment in the army as almost every ex squaddie I meet was ex SAS. Have met a few ex Rhodesian SAS and they made me a little nervous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderbird Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 thunderbird maybe you could drink your wine from my cup lol Ha ha, unfortunately there is no wine in that bottle any more. However what was in there was 'Good Ordinary Claret' by Berry Bros and Rudd, the suppliers to the officers mess at Stirling Lines. What do you reckon on ebay then?

Vince Green Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 No the OP is not correct. The SAS use standard military RG ammo. Had many a case of 7.62 off them. The only way it might be correct is than the whole army is getting into some very sophisticated sniping technology these days but thats not specific to any one regiment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MM Posted September 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 I would have thought the pistols would have been something like browning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samboy Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 I tried to join the SAS but failed the medical because i had flat feet. I offered to wear high heels but they still would'nt have me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrapFiller Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 (edited) I would have thought the pistols would have been something like browning? I think they are standardising all regiments and using sig sauer p226 Edited September 28, 2012 by TrapFiller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sha Bu Le Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Had a walt in our local for a long time a few years ago, he walked with a limp. Told people he been shot by a sniper in NI when he was in the SAS. Led to him acquiring the name Davey SAS. Brought his wife with him one time; someone asked her if Davey SAS had ongoing problems with his gun injury or something like it. Her reply was what injury, answer from when was shot by a sniper in NI whilst in the SAS. When she stopped laughing she told us he'd never been in the boy scouts let alone the SAS and the injury was done playing footie.....ligaments never healed properly. Never showed his face again ATB Bri. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
