Insane amounts of polishing, very rewarding though.
Strange thing is they carry modern weapons with them.FatherTed wrote:
one thing for the brits, they have fucking ace ceramonial uniforms
Makes no sense.
Fuck Israel
Traditional uniforms, modern weapons so they are still able to guard. That's for the foot guards anyway, the Household Cavalry carry swords when on guard duty.
I'm pretty sure those SA80s they carry are unloaded dude.*DD*Slug wrote:

Like how the French Army keeps their FAMASs without mags in out on duty in Paris.

The bayonet is loaded though.
Personally I'm not a fan of the gaurds. They're okay but then they're footgaurds. Fucking Scots gaurds would tab without webbing or ammo, what the fuck is the point in that...
Grenadier gaurds aint bad I guess, still, drill is shit.

I seem to recall hearing from someone that the first half of the mag is blanks and the rest 5.56, though I might have made that up so don't quote me on that. And as said those bayonets are fully loaded.Trotskygrad wrote:

Even with the bayonet it is not often they are put in the position to use it. They would present arms to the person first as a warning but doubt they'd use it, but even then I think they would try to apprehend the person in a quick and effective fashion. Recently I saw a photo set on flickr of HCav guards at Whitehall apprehending a pickpocket, looked good! Would've been impressive if they'd performed a classic cavalry charge and deprived him of a limb or two

I can't think of a single procedure that involves loaded half a mag with blank and the rest with ball ammo...
Not to mention you use differant, yellow mags for blank rounds.

Need a blank adapter in the barrel to make the weapon cycle while firing blanks. No adapter, you're effectively single shot, pull charging handle after every shot.*DD*Slug wrote:

If you have the blank adapter in the barrel, you're going to cause yourself a ton of problems when that live round goes off and hits the blank adapter in the barrel.
But I wouldn't be worried so much about the guys in the shiny uniforms out front. I'd be worried more about their mates in the building and on the roof with not-so-shiny uniforms, and not-so-empty rifles.

we used the same mags for blanks but i cant think of any practical reason to load a mag with blanks and live rounds
wait
there used to be this thing you could attach to the muzzle of your rifle. it was a grappling hook used to pull and clear concertina wire when clearing a breach. youd fire the weapon and the hook would shoot out about 25 meters. in training we used blanks but in a real scenario youd use a live round and itll only be one time use.

Grappling hook
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJump to:navigation, search
A soldier loading the hook.A grappling hook is an anchor with three to five hooks (claws, flukes), attached to a rope; it is thrown, dropped, sunk, projected, or fastened directly by hand to where at least one hook may catch and hold. Generally, grappling hooks are used to temporarily secure one end of a rope. They may also be used to dredge for submerged objects. Historically, grappling hooks were used in naval warfare to catch ship rigging so that it could be boarded.
A common design has a central shaft with a hole ("eye") at the shaft base to attach the rope, and three equally spaced hooks at the end, arranged that at least one is likely to catch on some protuberance of the target. Some modern designs feature folding hooks to resist unwanted attachment. Most grappling hooks are thrown by hand, but some used in rescue work are propelled by compressed air or a rocket.
Grappling hooks are used by combat engineers breaching tactical obstacles. The grappling hook is launched in front of an obstacle and dragged backwards to detonate trip-wire-fused land mines, and can be hooked on wire obstacles and pulled to set off booby traps on the wire. Two tools are available for this purpose;the rifle-launched grapnel, a single-use grappling hook placed on the end of an M4/M16 rifle, or the crossbow launched version.[1] A grapnel can clear up to 99 percent of the trip-wires in a single pass.[2]

The half loading thing, even if blanks fired without a BFA, would be stupid anyways, how would you know when you were firing live other than the change in recoil, but by that time it would be too late.
the Frogs with their unloaded rifles make more sense.
Yeah it's peak time and this internet is fucking shit so I'll just wait till later then watch it.
someone gif it for mr. jord
It's fine I'll just go watch scrubs.
