G3, Vz 58 and C8 in Icelandic Service

[22rimfiredude]

Up until a few days ago I thought that Iceland did not have any armed forces, and then I read this Wiki article concerning them. Evidently they are 100 strong and fighting in Afghanistan. Anyhoo, here is a video featuring them in the 'stan.

Note the strong showing of G3 rifles, Vz58s, G17s and the big finale with the C8!

They look like a good bunch of guys...
Glad they are on our side.

Let's see, direct descendants of Vikings. Under equipped, probably underpaid, definitely overworked, well beyond the reach of their own resupply, stuck in a place that sucks. Except for the Viking bit, sounds familiar.

"Except for the Viking bit, sounds familiar."

We have a few of those too. Hang out in New Norway sometime, or the Icelandic towns in MB. - dan
