Henry120: True, nice overlaping arks of fire and some serious calliber I just think the gunners combat effectiveness and situational awareness is greatly reduced. I doubt the forward facing gunner is even able to use his sights. |

patches689: I do not think the gunners situational awareness or least combat effectiveness is affected. They still are the highest "peak"in the battle space and can well spot and shoot efficiently. I do however agree, the shields are too large. |

Asuokaa: Not exactly. It is militarily impossible to defeat an insurgency. It is impossible to defeat an idea. However we can curb it to the barest possible minimum. Operations are still ongoing. Gwoza is only a landwark victory, not an end to operations. Once this faze is completed, the terrorists would most likely continue with their hit and run tactics. This is where the problem lies. 3 Likes |

bidexiii: I like this photo. Most of the photos released by DHQ were taken hours after ALL the fighting has died down. In this pic, you can sense the anticipation - of the trooper doing the checking, and his wingman, providing cover. 2 Likes |

asorockweb: Nop you are totally and 100% wrong they where taken during the moping up operations. And you will be exposed to many I.E.D or bubby-traps. During these operation soldiers are a little bit relaxed during house to house search called moping up, and soldiers take these advantages or opportunity of taking live pictures. |

Henry120: 3rd photo from the top. Is that a diver's weapon? Or just a training device? |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 9:57pm On Mar 28, 2015 |
asorockweb:It looks like a paintball gun to be honest, just without the feeder and Co2 canister. |

asorockweb: It looks like some sort of training device. More like an airsoft gun. |

gottfried21: Out of curiosity...Is the Wolf MK2 armed with what looks like the '2A28 Grom' low pressure gun still able to carry a section/squad of infantry into the battle field so as to still be called Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV) or It doesn't carry infantry anymore which would make it more of an Armored Fighting Vehicle (AFV) because it isint an APC anymore if its armed with a 73mm gun. |
