lionel4power: That's fine, I disagree with your opinion but nonetheless I will respect it. You said the Nigerian Army should probably adopt a shorter barrelled gun for the ERC 90 Sagaie. There's another version of the same vehicle which does exactly that, the ERC 90 Lynx. Nigeria bought 40 ERC Sagaies (long barrel) and 40 ERC Lynxes (short barrel) some years ago. So they already possess what you're talking about, most likely in storage somewhere. Photos of the ERC 90 Lynx in use elsewhere:

tdayof: Actually if you put things into perspective, it's not that great... If you think about a military expenditure of about $55bn per annual, that's 11 times more than what South Africa spends on the SANDF. So theoretically their navy should be 11 times more (even bigger) than the South African Navy, but it's not. 1 Like |

"We have a situation where there is a gradual erosion of the cathodic material used in preserving the gun" What on gods green earth are you talking about ? I work in the marine industry. Cathodes are used UNDER the waterline as sacrificial material for corrosion. Doesn't work in air. Old doesnt mean anything if a gun is well looked after. That's a CIS50 from Singapore produced in the late 80's. We still used 12.7 and 1919 browning receivers from WW2 in the SADF ! We used Vickers guns on the range at times. Those guns made it through WW2 and we still had them in inventory in the 90's. They looked like museum pieces, because they were looked after meticulously for decades. Have another look at the pic. Look closely at the ammo bin holder on the mount. It actually has pitting in the metal. They tried to cover it up with paint. The only time I've ever seen a MG look like that it came from a cash that was buried in mud for God knows how long. I still don't understand your argument about the salt air. How is that preventing him from cleaning it ? That boat doesn't enough carry fuel to patrol out for days. As for the barrel, I suspect that they only remove it for cleaning as it's easier to do. That's why it looks in better shape than the receiver. Barrels are also made from different blends of steel, for obvious reasons, that makes them last longer. I can only speak for the SADF/SANDF,but I would get brought up on orders if I or anyone I commanded returned a weapon in that state. Zero excuses. No different than anyone who damages expensive equipment because of negligence. Anyone who's served in any military would tell you that the state of a units gear is a good indicator of its leadership,training and morale. No matter how old it is. Hell I could tell you if a Bn. has its sh!t squared away by looking at the state of the guard gate. Henry240: 5 Likes

61mech: You make a valid point based on your military experience. However, this man you're trying to enlight is beyond salvation as his views only are valid. You may ignore the fact that he has never actually owned military grade weapon in his entire life so let alone have a clue how it's maintained. This is a man who will defend any trashy behavior because it's done by his countrymen and come up with all sorts of excuses for it. As I said before, the standards of the South African military differ from those of the Nigerians (or other militaries) so a simple "we don't care about rusted guns in our military" statement would have saved everyone the trouble. 1 Like |
