I must be getting old. They look like kids.

So what?!?

They checked the chamber, proven it safe, who cares if they pull the trigger on an empty chamber/empty mag?!?

If you get that excited about fingers on triggers with empty guns, imagine live fire exercises, with over 1000 rounds flying in just a minute, with people having close calls, doing fire and maneuver with two dozen soldiers...on rough ground no less...full auto bursts, tracers, mayhem...60mm mortars blowing up on target just 200m away

BEEN THERE DONE THAT, like many on this forum :D

I wish I could have had the eyesight to have done that and gone through the Forces. Way to go lads! The only helmets those boys need are the ones that have NVG attached.
 
Possibly a foreign student. They are wearing the RMC cap badge. Future paper-pushers and power-point operators. Don't worry about their lack of trigger discipline - many of them won't touch a gun in the course of their career ;)

From CMR Saint-Jean?

Correct. Family friend is based there and asked us if he could borrow a few select non-restricted items from us and other collectors for officer cadets to do some older weapons familiarization. There are foreign officer cadets there.
 
Go to any Commonwealth War Cemetery overseas and check the date on the stones. You will cry!!!! Most are 18 to 25 with the occasional "old man" at over 30 and the rare "grandfather" over 40.....

Comforting to know the resident trigger nazi is on site again...log off, pack up your rule book, go home and please keep your observations to yourself.

It is good to see that the younger military generation are being exposed to vintage firearms. The next best thing would be to allow them to live fire the old milsurps...I sure they would all come un-glued with excitement.
As long as there are no self righteous civilian trigger nazis hovering over them like belligerent buzzards

Great photos and it's great that these guys are getting to handle those classic firearms.

That being said I have to take exception to those posters here who are taking trigger discipline lightly. Firearms safety is something nobody can afford to be complacent with, and to ignore the 4 rules is to invite injury or worse.

are you forgetting that these guys are in the business of killing other human beings - the civilian guidelines are not first and formost in their minds - nor should they be.
