@oriskany – well, the SK don’t like anyone! I used to watch a TV show called ‘The Bush Tucker Man’. Awesome. The man himself is a Major in the Aussie Army, but was SASR and served in Vietnam when he was a young soldier. One of the shows was him in some ‘jungle’ type terrain and he starts talking about it being like Vietnam. He says, “This is just like where I grew-up, so when I got sent to Vietnam it was just like being at home.”
Some of the places he goes are totally inaccessable by land and he gets dropped off by helicopter. For a “joke” they didn’t come back for him and he just laughed and added, “…well, it only took me two weeks to walk back home so it wasn’t that bad.” His actual job is research into survival foods from all of the continent. He has spent years working with Koori people to learn all of their tricks and skills. If you have never seen it then just watch one episode.
The book is fantastic too.
The Aussies would also cut-down an standard issue SLR so they could use it in the jungle! They called it “the bitch”. I have fired loads of SLR’s and they are big and nasty. An SLR is 7.62 and non of your girly 5.56 nonsense either. I don’t even want to know what if feels like to shoot an sawn-off version! Ever fired a sawn-off shotgun?
Australia is a strange place. If you want ‘weird’ then read about the Dreamtime. Vegemite! The Paul Hogan Show. Their national dish is toast.
The motorbike doesn’t have any weapons. Infinity is like that. The rider has a shotgun and that’s it. It belongs to a Recon regiment – hence the bike. You can dismount and wheel the bike next to you as cover! You can also use it to block access and leave an anti-personel mine attached. I’ll find the rider…
As a former ‘biker’ I would not like to ride into any combat on a bike. I dodged a moth riding back from Edinburgh one night and nearly ended-up in a ditch. A 222kg motorbike is not very forgiving. The old US MP Harley-Davidsons where so big and heavy that you couldn’t u-turn it on a normal road and if you drop it you need a couple of guys to get it up!
However, this mini is more of an off-road design and would be really good for recon. We use them in the desert. Quads too. Get a silencer fitted to the engine and unless you are reasonably close to it you won’t hear it. A lot of the ISIS spotters ride bikes…dress like them and your in!
Glad to hear you have been taking it easy…for a change! 1000pts.
