Insert random inflammatory comment here.

And I’m pretty sure I had a relative in the Crimean war.

[QUOTE=Kiwi Greg;646687] The M107-A1 is absolutely awesome to use & its bloody hard to argue with 10 x 50 cal rounds in the air before the first one gets there, but they are anti material, not anti personal. [/URL]

Ah, OK, here's was me getting worried about people owning such things. Stand down Mr Cahill, everything's OK!

Calm down Liberace, I'm sure Kiwi Greg means they are not as accurate as other "DANGEROUS SNIPER RIFLES..."
Cahill's objection makes no sense whatsoever and is purely emotion driven and designed to scare the general populace...

For Sarvo, the rifles wil be used in exactly as the old ones, (loners from other forces) have been used for, so no change there.

Again = missed Point
WHY ???

.

No point not missed, you must be an auntie Helen supporter who saddled the defense forces with ANTI CIVILIAN equipment, in case you've missed that point, ANTI CIVILIAN equipment. You may want to stick your head in the ground and ignore our international obligations and treaties but that has proven to be very unwise in the past.
