Great footage, small arms training sure has come a long way since the 80tys, and 90tys. Better trained, better equipped, and more experienced I would say.
Awesome Willy!! Thanks for posting this mate. I am ex Army vet too so appreciate this decent TTP example from enhanced shooting vid....Great to see a good shooting vid coming out of Australia!! DVA can be a real punish but hang in there and you will eventually gain from it.
Just found you willy, shame to here about your situation, but makes me smile to see how you're dealing with it. Keep up the good work and the good content digger. We're all here to support you.
Awesome footage! As a quarter-Australian former US Marine, I'm always envious of your kit. We're starting to get nicer stuff but I love the Team Wendys and the F88s (F90s?)
Loving the regular uploads Willy. I discharged from 6RAR in 2013 after 6 years, so I didn't get to see all the new gear and rifles come into service. Noticed something during the reload, do the new rifles have a bolt release?
I got out in 2011 after joining in '03. We definitely weren't doing any cool shit like that. I remember when I first got my hands on a wildcat sight, I thought it was christmas. The new stylers look like they go alright? But most importantly look the buisness with some spray paint haha (another thing we could never of done)
@@whocanmakeyourwholeweek7272 Yeah, a few guys told me even uniforms were problematic to get. The post vietnam, pre Timor era must have been a hard time to be in.
That EF88 is a bloody sweet rifle, I wish the New Zealanders had adopted that instead of the MARS L as I'd rather like to have the chance to shoot one of them.
@@willyOAM I had a chance to hold one of the civilian versions of the older AUG (back when we had freedom in NZ) and I was blown away by how light it was, there also many advantages to the bullpup set up.

My perspective on weight may be a bit distorted as I get my kicks shooting World War 1 and 2 guns like the Lee Enfield and other .303s!

Hello mate! 👋 I just came across your channel a few minutes ago, while looking for something to help a family member on another matter. Anyway, I've subscribed, and I'll be following up your channel tonight. Your video footage is very nice and crisp by the way. So, back to the other task for a few hours. All the best - will catch up tonight.
@@willyOAM Hi again - I did say I would catch up again/ie:tell you a bit more about why your post was so significant to me, but as it happened I ended up running around after a certain 23 year old son tonight, and now its the next day (12.23am) and I'm buggered! (I wonder if TH-cam's algorithm will detect it and censure me for using that word). Anyway, I will respond again in the next 2 days, regardless of the said 23 year old (who shows every sign of a "continuing period of unsettled weather"). I don't like saying I'll do something and not following through, and yes, I know it happens to us all, but since it happened I thought I'd at least send this. I'll say this too - my time in the army as a reservist was quite short, but it had a huge and powerful impact on me. Anyway - talk soon.

How do you find the Steyr's fitment wise? I could never get comfy with them compared to my 10 yr old R5 RGP- even that took ages to find a stock that was comfy and built to last. Might be just my damn ape arms though 😄

Great video mate.

Gorgeous shots here!
thankyou
Hope your doing good mate💪
you too brother!
Loving the regular uploads Willy. I discharged from 6RAR in 2013 after 6 years, so I didn't get to see all the new gear and rifles come into service.
Noticed something during the reload, do the new rifles have a bolt release?
hey Andy., you didnt miss too much hah, Yeah bro bolt release up near the mag, it get caught on everything haha
I got out in 2011 after joining in '03. We definitely weren't doing any cool shit like that. I remember when I first got my hands on a wildcat sight, I thought it was christmas.

Awesome stuff 💚🤎🤘🏻

Onya brother nice work and for beating the worst of the worst the BigC

reduce what you show the enemy

Man those EF88's are really nice looking, Not as good as the F88's in my opinion but still a nice looking rifle
EF88 is a far more capable weapon, But I ahree they dont look as good as the SA2
Once you hold both you will realise which one is better hah.

What was that blue box he was holding by his head while he was shooting a speaker?
Its a shot timer, so you know the time between shots and when the last shot was fired. Plus it beeps to let you know when to start shooting.
^ what he said
👍🌟🇦🇺 don't worry, God bless...

Fuck i miss this. "Stand to!!!" "Watch your arcs!!!"

depends on the job...
Not much on Rate of fire or fall of shot.
Why would you ruin the video with music?
Out of interest does the music skip because you've had to take chunks of footage out?

thanks bro
I’d still rather an M4 over this weapon!
For what reasons?
Do you have exerience on either? or just TH-cam videos? haha
don't get wrong i love the army, but seriously i can't stand that gun its so ugly lol maybe im sure its effective but seriously ugly..
Form follows function.. it also isn't great hahah
I think it's a gorgeous rifle and handles better than any AR platform but that's just my preference
