SA80 Mod? - Page 2

Its not just a torch, its also an I/R beam as well and in conjunction with a monicle on his helmet illuminates targets for him in the dark. Hes wearing it in the daytime as you can still practice with I/R in daylight. IIRC it has a laser too which all has to be zeroed to the firer.

Yep, flashlight. As has been said, useful during FISH & CHIPS, where you can simply point the flashlight beam at someone and pull the trigger, and the rounds will go where the light goes. Done by the SAS a lot.

It is also good for posing for pics.

Combat monicle

HAHA,

I read that this is supposedly what the SA80 upgrade including all that ACOG stuff is

2 x Viper2+F thermal sights
2 x TAM-14 TI HMNVGs
4 x ACOG day sights
2 x Laser Range Finders - one for the Grenadier, one for the fire team commander
The Grenadier now gets a holographic sight for his 40mm
All sights, day or night, for 5.56mm will have a red dot CQB sight

Is all that in full flow, or yet to happen?

EDIT:

Oooh look what I found

Torch–noun
2. something considered as a source of illumination, enlightenment, guidance, etc.: the torch of learning.

I may be wrong but that might have been the guy who called his cat Bagpuss, which is blasphemous to children of the 70s everywhere.

Too far?

We had a Troop who named themselves after Bagpuss as they slept at every opportunity. They had T Shirts made with a picture os Bagpuss in a sleeping bag smoking a cigarette, and later, a matching flag.

Another Troop stole their flag and held it to ransom (hence the guy at gunpoint) for 5 crates of fizzy drinks.

They published that photo in the Squadron magazine with their silly demands
