dogone Posted May 27, 2023 Report Share Posted May 27, 2023 An article on the web . UK military lost a few machine guns and pistols , plus several thousand rounds of ammo. Someone’s *** is in trouble. I am sure a responsible citizen will return them in if found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minky Posted May 27, 2023 Report Share Posted May 27, 2023 Down on the military ranges the police were really bad at loosing live ammo on the firing points. They just didn't seem to count how many rounds they arrived with, how many they'd shot and how many they had left and no one picked up any dropped rounds. The army didn't leave any.... we always looked for free ammo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutty2006 Posted May 27, 2023 Report Share Posted May 27, 2023 Whenever I was on the range we were very strict with weapons and ammunition. It all got counted in, all got counted out. Cadets were lined up at the end of training outside the range and the range officer would receive a declaration from each cadet that have no live rounds or empty cases in their possession. Lord knows how the regulars do it, but it doesn’t sound good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted May 27, 2023 Report Share Posted May 27, 2023 Deactivated. Not much different from what you could have bought from a shop. Headline makes it sound good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transpired it had been left by a Cadet a WEEK previously. At least we only left an odd round of ammo, I don't recall any of us leaving the gun too !

Must have been a really relaxed range officer that day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
