Sorry for the lack of updates but I’ve been working hard at my job, trying to get a big project finished during the summer.
Here are couple of shots from last summer’s refresher course for you military enthusiasts, first of which shows beret-wearing reservist taking potshots with a “trusty” old M80 pistol. The latter one is a picture of 12.7mm ITKK equipped with optical anti-aircraft sight.
The heavy tube being wielded in the third shot by some AT guy is the infamous 112 RsKes Apilas, bringing memories from those long marches years ago when I had to haul two of them, one on each shoulder. At the refresher exercise I got to shoot with TRG-42 (8.6 kiv 2000) and kick was heavier than old TKKIV 85 but the ballistics is way better, extending range 100s of meters further than that of the old rifle.
