Thanks for the congrats to my daughter, she's heading out on her first camp tomorrow, down to Penhale in Cronwall. She'll be shooting on the range and if she's anything like her old man she'll come home with a marksman badge to go with the 1st Class she got yesterday.
I could see the light hearted view in what they were saying but some of it was certainly unfounded, especially about the bren gun. Can't say i knew of anyone who fired it with open cuffs and if they did, then serves them right they deserved to have a hot empty cartridge burn them. Sorry if you think i have got upset about this but the weapons i have fired so far which includes all of those mentioned are a lot better than what was said about them.
Okay i'm off my soap box now.
Take care all
