If you are holding the SAM, by the way SAM is - surface to air missile, you better drop it and run. !!! Sam usually is design to arm after at least 300m or more , also it is not design to be use as a any vehicle weapon, it guidance system will be nuts and confused which mean the chances of it hitting the jeep is so small and doing any damage is small.Originally posted by SibeiSuayKia:So what generally does those uncles do?
why send out old pple instead of young guys is it sufficient to kill those terrorist?
u all also mentioned about terrorist holding SAM...from what i know..
the jeep is lightly armoured..
So WHAT if..the terrorist holding SAM after discovering that the jeep has spotted and firing at him..takes cover and fires his RPG at the jeep?
What do u think will happen to the pple sitting inside?

DUH!! I always thought our GPMG was an illegal copy based on the FN/L7 series. the US M240 is a more recent 'lightened' version of the same? In any case the SAF GPMG has been around for some 20+ years already.Originally posted by LazerLordz:It is a L7 GPMG, M240B/G, FN Mag.They are the same.UK, US, Belgium in the same order.Our L7A4 is the same version as used by the USMC, without the heat guard of the M240B.
