Hey, I never said I fired the C2, though in honesty, I have.Originally posted by Michael Dorosh:</font><blockquote>quote:</font><hr />Originally posted by Canuck_TAR:

- Even the C9 has a 200rd box.........a 30 rd mag is a draw back in the time to change it. Try the C9 with mags, its a pain in the rear.
- CDN section have 2 C9's per......only at the Pl level will you find the C6. C6 light role rated to 800M, SF roll 1800M. Reaching out and touching someone at distance, even at the sction level is better than dealing with them up close.
- C2.........Your dating yourself!!!
LOL!!!- The CDN force also had a LMG, was the .30 cal american model, replaced the Bren.
Once with blanks, once on the range. We replaced them the year after I did my basic. The Brownings we used (C5?) were rebored to NATO (.308 Winchester) rather than the US 30.06, but yeah, same weapon. It was also a GPMG and used at platoon level AFAICT and did not replace the Bren - the C2 did. </font>

Well I don't consider having a 1200rpm GPMG on your side vs a 500rpm as a waste of ammo.
On the assault; the C9 is perfect for this role. ON the other hand, who really needs an LMG that can fire out to 1000 metres? How often will an infantry section need to engage targets thar far out on its own?Firing a GPMG from the hip is trick at the best of times..........and why would you want to.
In your opinion.As for the Bren, reliable but draw backs where slow rate of fire and 30 mag. Belt beats mag. Heck the MG34 also had a mag (drum) at 150 rds.
The M240B is the weapon you're thinking of. The C6 is a platoon support weapon, issued one or two per weapons det at the platoon level. Was never used as an LMG in Canada. The British did use it as an LMG for a time. Canadian LMGs were the Bren and then the C2 automatic rifle (not really an LMG but all we had). Both were magazine fed and fired ammo carried by the entire section (the former by design, the latter by accident as FN C1 mags could fit the C2 in an emergency.) </font>The CDN C6 GPMG is based on the MG42. The U.S. army just went to the same version after they found it to be better that the M60. -
You mean the MG42..........the best MG of its time and to this day??Originally posted by Michael Dorosh:</font><blockquote>quote:</font><hr />Originally posted by Canuck_TAR:

Perhaps for the same reason as the US found it important to get to Germany at the same time as the Russians : to prevent that the entire European mainland would become Russian ? </font>Originally posted by TaoJah:</font><blockquote>quote:</font><hr />Originally posted by Canuck_TAR:

Well first off.............he's not the overall command was he?? If Uncle Adolf didn't support him and saw it as a diversion, what could he have done?Originally posted by jon_j_rambo:"If Rommel would have had food & supplies"....yeah, a good commander would think about that before going into a desert!
If, if, if....
Think before you going to the desert! You don't see the USA going to any deserts weak, do you? See Desert Storm! See Desert Storm II! We headcrack. You lose & worship!
Ahhh yes........lets bring it up..........why did the U.S. have supplies.........oh thats right.........they where supported from the top.

Inferior Navy........LOL.......in '41 most where at the bottom of Pearl Harbour.........it took time to build and rebuild.
Lets not forget the first time the U.S. did battle against the Germans (Kasserin Pass)........got there arses handed to them but learned from it and pushed on.

LMAO..............I fell into the same trap.............DOW Yugo when Russia is close to readiness puts them over the top.Originally posted by TaoJah:But then I made the BIG BIG BIG mistake : apperently DOW on Youguslavia makes the USSR IMMEDIATLY attack me, with my eastern border totally open. I tried to defend by recalling the troops back from Youguslavia and Egypt, but that's no use.
It was ugly, lol.
