axl Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Where did anyone mention tabbing? If its in the context I'm thinking of it's a brit military term that means tactical advance to battle. You dismount from your vehicle (or parachute in) a distance from your objective, normally so that no one sees/hears you approach at your target. Great pics btw Darkchild, glad you're back safe and sound. EDIT: Ah I see where Darkchild mentions it, yes the above is what he means. Link to post Share on other sites

darkchild130 Posted November 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 thanks guys i hope i get better too!! (if by some miracle i do, then i probably wont get out). In the infantry tabbing translates as "walking really fast with far too much weight on your back for miles and miles." Which is about the worst thing you can do for your back in the long run. Infantry=stupid As for performance and accuracy the L85A2 Easily owned everything due to the considerably longer barrel it has compared to all the other assault rifles. Despite all this, the MP5K is still far cooler though. Unfortunately nobody had a G3 as i suspect nothing could touch that for range and power!! I fired that in Northern Ireland years ago, it was epic. Darkchild Link to post Share on other sites
Frakk2k Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 The G3 is pretty crude tough.. I think some of the Norwegians are still equipped with AG3's over in Afghan, you should poke em Link to post Share on other sites
askeytheman Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Oh dear.. Just Urban Dictionaried 'Tabbing' So thats what i've been doing.. got me a name for it now.. Link to post Share on other sites
tasgeir Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 No mate it is not that I dont belive you when you say it is so, I just dont get it Having used the AG3(NOR g3) for some years I can say it rocks on power and range over the 416(only had that for a short time), but when you put on all the gear we used on it at the end it is a pain to drag around all day in the heat of the sandbox! Would much more have had the 416 on deployment! Link to post Share on other sites
darkchild130 Posted November 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Fair enough, i dont think i would like to patrol with the G3 either, looks quite cumbersome. The stock thing didnt make any sense to me either, hence why i asked the operators about it. The best answer they could come up with is that their unit ordered them and that was what they got.

Darkchild I went to see an Osteopath in the end (about 1.5 years ago), for approx. 6 sessions in total which has helped alot. I don't get as much (almost to next to nothing) pain/twitches which has been great Link to post Share on other sites
