    There are a lot more FAL holders than soldiers though in NZ VC. That said we don't do the same sort of shooting that they would have been doing during a night live fire. I have seen the sky alight with tracer and machine guns with glowing barrels from sustained fire during some of the night live fire sessions I participated in as a soldier. I agree though that the Army is generally extremely good at ensuring there is no one forward of the firing line.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
