Thanks for the article. I love the slightly optimistic sight settings on the shoulder stock version. 500m I'm struggling to hit at 50m

I carried one of these on and off for 16 years as an Armoured Corps officer in the Aussie army.

Never had to use it in anger but I would have been confident that if a had to pull the trigger it would have gone bang. You couldn't stop those things with a sledge hammer. We carried them in shoulder holsters and climbing in and out of Tanks, APC's and ASLAV's certainly knocked them about.

I still get to fire them (the MkIII) from time to time with the Reserves (National Guard for our American cousins) and I do enjoy it.

I am in the process of getting my civi pistol licence, yes 16 years carrying a pistol and I need to undertake a safety and handling course? Who knows I may not be able to resist the call of the past and might just buy one

When to much recoil is just not enough.
