Was the group shot from a standing position? Or unsupported? Keep us posted! It sounds like you are on the verge of getting the shooting bug.

It's not Bolt action, it's semi auto, but yes, we do.Yimmy said:Doesn't your cadet force have the 556 cadet rifle, the bolt action SA-80?
It could be that they were normal SA80's, tha would explain why they thought they we're unsafe because you could easily convert them to full auto...hmmm.Yimmy said:The cadet rifle (L98?), is a straight pull bolt action SA-80, it is not semi-automatic, as it has no gas parts.
Are you sure the rifles you had (which were taken away as not being safe), were not simply normal SA-80's with the gas plug set to gas cut-off?
Anyway, I would seriously advise you not to leave school and go straight into the army at 16/17. Surely you want to have a little fun, shag around first? Go to college or something for a couple of years, get some worldly experience....
From the people who've spent time enlisted in the U.S. military, you'll have a lot more time to party in the military than you will in college 'cause in college, there ain't no free time: once you're out of class, you're in your books/lab/section, etc.Yimmy said:Anyway, I would seriously advise you not to leave school and go straight into the army at 16/17.
