I was a SARP instructor before the video was made. Being Airborne it made our two by tens easier. Funny story for you. I trained an Old WO who was issued a Ross rifle in the beginning of his career. He was the first ever to drop the C7 on the parade square. It was a ####ty drill rifle according to him.

Probably an alcoholic more like it. Had the jitters.

Interesting. C7 was adopted mid 80’s, or even 1988 IIRC. What unit did you serve with? I shot the FN in ‘94 but that was the .22 subcal trainer, it was there purely for fun. We had C7s as our service rifle.

The 78th Field Battery, RCA out of Red Deer were the last unit to get C7s. That was in the 90's. They has C1, C2, C1 SMG and the C5.

At 38.01 there is still a mag on the weapon when he cocks it. Recipe for an ND and big fine!

I recall Militia units with C7s before 1992. 1990 or so? I liked launching thundetflashes off of C1s.

Works with the C7 too. I mean, um, so I've heard...
