    Bullpup style weapons are definitely an advantage indoors.

    Must be a bitch doing FISH with those long rifles. FISH being Fighting In Someone's House as the British Army like to call it. Bullpup style weapons are definitely an advantage indoors.

    Haha yeah, at a massive 102cm it's quite hard, especially when doing stair drills. A trick is to hold til far back, so that the end of the barrel is like 10cm from your face, but still. It's fucking long. But the guys who started their mandatory service in August all got the HK 416, which is pretty sweet.

    The training was cold. That place "Mauken" is notorious for being one of the most windiest places that the Army use for training

    The training was on 3 days :\ But we are one of the first platoons in Combat Service Support to have CQB\FISH\MOUT\SIBO, and to even get something that isn't really a part of our training is next to impossible, but my CO gets shit down when he wants to.

    We had basic "how to enter a room" (stacking, communication, grenades, entering, clearing and covering), "how to enter via a window\holes etc." which forces you to jump pretty high, I'd imagine it being a lot harder when you get battleoutfit which adds more weight (like ballistic vest, more ammo, grenades etc. etc.), and then finally how to attack and clear entire buildings. On the final day we did a platoon attack on the "hotel" (the biggest building, where the pic is from), which was very fun

    Doing it during a real war scenario must be hell, and you need to keep your shit together. But blanks and training grenades are all fun Except the part that being a corporal gives you a bit more "administration" stuff to do, like to know what's cleaned, where people are at etc. But ofcourse I do play rambo myself

    is it ever taught to put the stock over your sholder and tilt the gun? ive seen pictures of it, especially with shotguns. id assume its to shorten the rifle, probably makes it harder to aim and recoil harder to handle, but its not much of an issue when your target is within 10 feet.

    normally I'd never ever do it except when entering a tight door \ hole \ window, shortens the rifle, it does make aiming harder, but indoors it's mostly point and click.

    And you look like an ass while doing it, but I'd rather look like an ass than to be dead

    who is shepard?

    It's warm, moist (aka your own spit etc.), hard to breathe, fogged googles which limits vision and if you have been at high activity and take your mask off to quickly, you'll faint of oxygen shock.

    the large hadron collider exposes and interdimensional rift, forcing alien creatures to land on the planet earth. gordon freeman we've already seen in the middle of it all, st0lve is deployed to silence the scientists but as usual everything goes awfully wrong.

    Much harder than it looks, start on the front sheer face, do a short jump to jump and jam your fingers in the diagonal crack. Pull up and slap around the right hand edge, hook ankle over and lay back hand over hand all the way up. Whip round onto face when you run out of edge at the top!

    Edit: After pic coming.
