Of course I do. I'm the most knowledgeable guy to ever walk this planet and from my mouth springs eternal wisdom. Where I tread. flowers blossom and trees begin to grow and eternal pice follows me...

You know I use smilies to make clear my remarks aren't exactly meant serious? I was just kidding.

I'm puzzled- some of their equipment is really high end and some is old as dirt.

Also National Guard seems better equipped then everyone else, including SF.

 

[Bootie]

I have no idea Golani... maybe Cargol can assist?

 

[Cargol]

Altough in the picture is stated National Guard,troops are actually SF troops and indeed G3A3-G3A4 which is the standard assault rifle for Greek Army(except SF) is
somehow dated but still a good weapon.
Personally i dont find it difficult to score up to 90% in a A1 target(without scope&If the weapon is zeroed) firing from 300 meters which is the standard range for small arms practice in Greek army..
