AUSTRALIA YOU DUMB CUNT

Is it possible with machine gun bullets to effectively gauge and utilise trajectory like with artillery shells ? So for example you could hit infantry on a distant hill who are sheltering on the non visible slope ? I notice on this picture the rear sight is quite elevated so that got me wondering.
It isn't so much that it isn't possible since the principals of ballistics will work for both bullets and artillery shells it's more that it's useful for one and not the other. Artillery shells usually explode and so a near miss is just as good as a direct hit. With bullets you have to hit the guy or it has no effect at all and this is the problem. It would only require a change in angle of a fraction of a degree to make the difference between landing short and going over their heads. However there are lost of things that are now possible because of electronic control that weren't before so maybe someone will develop it.
The GPMG M60 fitted to tripod for sustained fire role (heavy barrel and C2 sight) indirect fire (i.e reverse slope) out to 3 km. The NATO std rimless round has a danger range of 7K.
Good luck in trying get that perfect setup so the bullets drop to hit the reverse of a slope let alone hit anything hiding behind it.
I have a tattoo on the back of my neck of a crown, also some script on my forearm. Will this be acceptable to join the ADF? pic unrelated
>>1524 Complete opposite of priority job then if you are trying to get into the RAIC.
Do not worry about it. I got tatts on both my forearms. I was a rifleman then went to Duntroon. Tatts are only a problem in the Army if they are on your hands or face. When you are enlisting the doc will take notes of your tatts and put them on your medical record. This is for identification reasons only.
I know heaps of mates with tattoos on their necks, hands, fingers and ear so I'm pretty sure you have nothing to worry about.

As long as the standards aren't lowered I don't see a problem. Only a very small percentage of women will meet this criteria though. They just have to keep in mind the guys club mentality that is the infantry. Can't expect their attitudes to change so as not to offend a few females.
Infantry, Armour, Arty are the main ones
>>2178 >implying standards won't be lowered.
Hey Ausfriends, how does it feel to not own any guns?
>>2203 DEAD
>>2204 Even more badass.
That sure is a nice bunch of $2 notes and that furby man... nice
So i want to join the ADF Gap year in a few years, is it hard to get in? Is there anything i can do to increase my chance of getting in?
Did the gap year in the army, air defence Made lots of friends, had some great times, got heaps of cash. there were plenty of full timers giving me shit but bah fuck it, you get cock heads in all walks of life
>>1826 agreed by fellow pusser

NAKERTAAX AUSSIHOMOT :D
HAISTAKAA LAMPANUSSIJAT VITTU :--D SUOMI WAS HERE SPÖDRÖ BRÖÖ
Fuck ypur'e size limits.
do not worry...
Fuck you military jonne's
Does anybody else here agree that we need conscription? Not for the military manpower it would give us that we really need but for the pride it instils in people and all that shit?
I want to be conscripted. I like the idea of everyone being a soldier.
Imo, if national service ever came into force, you should have options. E.g. you could go military, SES, work with charities basically where ever the country needs people to work for free.
>>1277 I am underweight so I will be rejected. But if this is implemented conscript the girls as well.
