PTaylor2k4 Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 There is at least 1 woman in the SAS in this farse of a program. Women aernt allowed in the infantry, artillery, REME, marines (basically any front line troops) and special forces (sas + sbs etc) so this program isnt worth watching. Only just seen the advert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunganick Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Nick, Clever lad eh. your post surprised me there...in a good way I mean not a bad. I would get that springer you wanted I think it could be the dog for you Nick. If you ever need some good advice or information then look for madspringer or new to flock, they know what dogs are about and will keep you on track, your mothers tactics may be a little different to a gundog man so always worth talking too. The PM thanks, i might have to give them a PM some time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 Women are allowed in frontline forces, but as an exception not a rule...... Just look at Det. Captain Pip Tatersall, the infamous AGC officer has a dagger on her arm. And no, I'm not breaching opsec, before anyone squeals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gamebag Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 spec forces are exempt from the ammunition clause in the geneva convention as they regularly use hollow point ammo in suppresed wepons which if used by regular forces are in breach of the convention.

PTaylor2k4 Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 hollow points (they have a nickname but i forgot) are used by the SAS according to a guy i knew who had a chap he knew whos ex-sas. He said he went to 22nd hereford every week (like i believed him) and said he worked in a firearms factory so its a very reliable source! lol, some people r full of ****. Whos this woman then who was in the forces? BTW i was excluding spys coz im guessing some of them are women Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernyha Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 hollow points (they have a nickname but i forgot) The only name that comes to mind is"Dum Dum" bullets (or is it Dumb Dumb?) and these were crudely made to give the same effect by sawing the points off.

PTaylor2k4 Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 thats the 1! said they drilled into the points so basically hollow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 Dum-dums are highly illegal. Chopping the bullet's tip off made it highly unstable in flight. Little expansion, just a catastrophically random path through victim's body. Det aren't spies..... Pip Tattersall put herself through the AACC at Lympstone, as part of a diversity/gender equality stunt by HQRM. The fact that she did the whole Commando Course dosed up on ibuprofen, and wrapped in fabric tape, is testament to the fact that only her grim determination saved her. She is pretty much crippled now. She does have to spend two years attached to a Cdo unit to wear her dagger outside that Unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTaylor2k4 Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 oh right just looked it up, tbh this isnt like joining as a royal marines commando, basically shes done that AACC to work with marine units and wear the green beret, my cousin is currently in the royal artillery and hes doing that sometime soon. Hard work but the RMC training will be much tougher. Read the requirments for both. I got my dates for Lympstone a few weeks ago, will be going late Feb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldrick Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 If my memory serves me right, dum-dums are illegal under UK Firearms law. You'll love CTCRM - happy memories. Don't think that the AACC is easy. Anyone who has completed that (and the notorious beat-up prior to starting) wears that lid with pride. Also bear in mind that guys in 140 (Meiktila) FOB do an interesting variety of steely courses, some of which a regular bootneck wouldn't be allowed near.

Quercus Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 The Geneva Convention deals with prisoners of war and non combatants. The Hague Convention deals with expanding ammunition on the battlefield. It is illegal not to use expanding ammunition for deer and is highly recommended for use on all other live quarry.
