i dont know which one you are refering to as chinese, but this is my own observation.

first photo Tanzanian rifle is the chinese Type 56 a copy of AK-47 for standard army issue assault rifle

second photo is Tanzanian Galil rifle from israel for special forces

both rifles look alike, but if you view closely...the Galil looks more 'cute and solid' and also notice the Galil gunner's targeting sight mechanism...that tells you the price and performance is different.



They both work on the same prinspils but the galil has better sights, located in a better postion (rear not in the midil like a AK) fires 5.56mm nato not 7.62 pact has a better barrel, less recoil (though a micro carbin would have a tad more reciol) and they made tighter(best word I can thing off). That is why there SF uses it.

even foolish countries of the world like Togo have army snipers that can k.ill at long ranges.

since when did old 1940 world war II sniper tactics become a great topic to debate about ? its nothing special, go read war history of 1940 long range army snipers.
It is not special but it requires a lot of training. Snipers can stop or pin down an advancing full battalion. Togo's snipers are not on the top 10 long range sniper kills,including your Nigeria,

you've started with another propaganda again abi? Since it has now been discovered that they did the work in DRC for you, you want to claim you built their rifle.

That is a chinese made rifle for your info. So stop lying.

even without armoured vehicle helping the battalion, 10 snipers cannot stop a full battalion, the 600 men will out-flank and sorround the snipers, then the hunter will become the hunted.

Since when did the numbers change. You said a sniper would run if a AFV came. Now it is a full battalion vs only 10. You changed the paramters. In this case the snipers will conductd there next big role, that of a FAC/spotters.

@Mike...ZA said snipers will stop a full battalion.

i said all snipers will run when they see only one armoured IFV coming to k.ill them

i then made his snipers at 10 men, and i removed the armoured vehicle helping the battalion, so let 10 snipers try stop a standard battalion of 600 soldiers ......unless the battalion commander is from soweto, then 10 snipers will stop his battalion grin

Well it can. Let's say there is a bridge. Sniper knocks out lead vechile and blocks the bridge. The keeps the people trying to extract it pinded down. Well doing this in calls in accurate arty fire and air strikes.

do people always have to fight on a brigde ? how many bridges are there on battlefields ? grin

the second battalion vehicle behind will be push the first vehicle broken down forward along the bridge, only south african military academy teaches you how everything intelligent is impossible on battlefield. grin

by the way, ordinary snipers ? which type of battalion of 600 men have no few mortar 4km range artillery to uproot some 1km to 2km distant snipers ? grin

It doesn't matter that you were a pioneer debater. Stüpid is as stüpid does.If you were a pioneer and were wide awake, you would have gone to the thread where the comment was made and refuted it there.

I pasted the link, didn't I?

You say you've been following us, but you chose to be blind to what was being argued here and you didn't care to see why the post was brought here in the first place. I did say it was an example meant to demonstrate that there are negative comments about Naai-geria too; and that "only an idïot posts such" comments as evidence. So don't ask me to suffer your foölishness with respect.

Secondly, seeing as you delved into the argument, the man is talking about his personal experience. Unless you were there with him when he saw a sleeping soldier, you can't monkey up and down.

Thirdly, your soldiers have got killed by Boko haram and attacked at their bases. What's wrong about that?

Thirdly, CameroonPride has argued something similar about Bakassi. He's yet to be proven wrong by any monkey here. So yes, Cameroonians are blowing trumpets through your noses about Bakassi.

Please, don't talk about respect when you can't respect yourself enough to call on the gods of intelligence before you open your mouth. There's no such thing as debating with professionalism here. Just smarts, please. We don't have the time to keep cleaning up after idïots.
since you say you dont debate with professionalism but just "smarts". I most certainly understand your idea of being smart. Perhaps . . , just perhaps your idea of being smart,means amounting to name calling and hob-nobbling. Just perhaps your idea of being smart entails a bizare ideology of refuting facts without substancial intellectual back ups, i didnt in any way support nor refute previous comments made by my fellow contrymen or most respected south african brothers on this the topic of importing comments from other sites, i just aired my candid and relatively unbiased view which i errorneously taught perhaps was being confered to a person of integrity bt little did i know that just perhaps the Oxford definition of "smart" is not to a gargantous extent in harmony with your porputed meaning of smart. Yet am not perplexed but a little moved by your gross inability to decifer my true intentions, you attacked me as you've done to my fellow compatriot without hesitation, calling me monkey, idiot etc without any moral or reasonable reason. This proves to a considerable extent you have bt a little knowledge of the topic at hand. THANKS.

Nigeria and France refused to be led by a Rwanda, we pulled out our air force, combat troops, amoured vehicles and artillery....France did the same thing as Nigeria.

South African military knows it is less capable than Tanzanian military and so you accepted to be ordered around by a smaller but better country

I thought you said you weren't going to debate with me? What happened now? Your guardian angel said "show the you can be dumber than already displayed?"

God, you're an idïot. Professionals get paid. So are you getting paid to be on Naai-raland? grin How much do you get paid, Mr professional monkey?

You view is neither candid nor unbiased. You say a person who shared his personal view is disgruntled. Please give us prove that he did not see a soldier sleeping on duty. Explain what he is disgruntled about, seeing as you know him, right?

Just that for now. The other issues later. We have already argued here about how you've faired against BH, so we'll rest that issue for a minute.

Just simple, clear and unequivocal proof that he did not see a soldier sleeping on duty. If you cannot do that, accept that you are an idïot who should have confronted the guy in the relevant thread - he's not here, yet you say he's lying. Were you there?

You're an idíot who failed to follow an argument and went off on a tangent.

Don't punish me for your dumbness. I'm not suffering foöls today. Mmmmkay?

Perhaps you must look up the definition of "professional" before you look up that of "smarts". Don't you think (assuming you do have a brain)?

France is not and never was pert of the UN mission in mali, unlike nigeria.

France pulled out because there job was done, they were not going to create there own Iraq so pulled has soon has they got the chance and let the UN take over. Nigeria pulled out because they seem to think the best military force needs to lead the mission. South Africa does not need the UN to stroke our ego, if they want a tanzanian general that is not our problem but the foolish nigerians think it is a big deal.

No helping the people of the DRC is more important than a dick measuring contest, that is why we deployed.

The only problem though is that snypers are difficult to locate their position and they often have a back-up against attack helicopters and AFV's. Operators around them will often be armed with RPGs or any anti-tank weapons to fire attack helicopters.
