It started with the good old 2" Rockets (as used by the Buccs circa 70's) then onto the 68mm SNEBs, Not that brilliant, Then the CRV7 good rocket with a decent standoff (did we ever buy the version with the Flachetts?)

Martell..................Waste of time

BL755 CBU.......did what it said on the packet

Mk1 LGB (as above)

SLR..............................Mmmmmmmm far better than the SA80.

Gotta be the SLR with the Browning L1A1 Pistol a close second,Fecking hated the JP233,the bloody Z loader always seemed to break at the wrong time!
Favorite air dropped munition has to be the Harpoon missile with the LGB a close second.

Yes, but the Apache is the only platform that uses this.

Favourite weapon? Has to be the CBU everytime!

That'll be why the Yanks have started licence manufacture of the GPMG then!! :pDT_Xtremez_42:

Barrel changes on earlier M60's could be entertaining, the carrying handle not being attached to the barrel, and the bipod being on the barrel as opposed to the gas group on the gympi.

The bipod still is on the barrel mate!!

Not on all of them it isn't. M60 is still manufactured in America and our operators prefer it to the GPMG.....

MAG240 isn't a direct copy as it has subtle differences that negate the need for licenses.....

All the crews did when I was away was moan about it - mainly because its not very portable in its air mounted variant.

Know your audience. It could've been the best machine gun in the world, air role but man portable and they'd still moan about it.....

Well they are the ones that have to use it in the end. Also, I didn't really like doing any maintenance on the damned thing, badly designed and poorly put together!!

You weren't allowed to do maintenance on it anyway as you weren't auth'd. Nothing wrong with the design of the gun. The role equipment is however a different issue.....
