My wife (mid-30's) and her classmates had to fire two rounds from an AK when she was at school, where there was a firing range. It was something every schoolkid had to do in those days.

Lucky her: we had to make do mainly with Lee Enfields (and the very occasional play with a .303 Bren gun). Just as I was leaving we got some SA80 variants to play with.

Poland has a very special form of defence in the mohair beret brigade :) Their bile is instantly poisonous and their axe-wielding skills are a sight to behold. When they charge at you, you had better run like hell :)



I will report you to the Mohair Beret Defamation Comission!

HHHmmm, the balistic deflecting proparties of 2 by 4 is much underrated,as is the tactical genius of 3 people taking cover behind a street lamp


The cover is mean but their hearts - noble.

Yes, these guys take part in all reconstructions:

But,a question,when I was with my students in Gliwice a few years ago one of the local lads

Seanus?

was telling me about the firing range in his High Schools basement,mentioned Kalashnikovs...........still a popular after school activity in PL?


Nope. Those rifles were not used in aftr school activity clubs. I disassembled and assembled an AK at uni military classes in 1980s.

I was most impressed that my Russian girlfriend can strip , clean and put together an AK 47

She trained , like most women her age to serve in the military as a battlefield nurse , but part of the training included weapons training....

So...if i cut myself shaving..she should be able to deal with it...hopefully not by shooting me...!

She did not.Not from kbk ak,now if you say kbks then I believe you.

I'm pleased to say that she's not a weapons expert, so you're probably right. Anyway, it was something both girls and boys were expected to do.

He was probably doing that eastern thing of presuming the only gun we westerners have ever heard of is Kalasnikov rather than "lying" as such............unfortunatly Im sad enough to be able to spot if its a AK 47 or AK 74 at a 100 paces ;) But you also find when you are with a party of liberal arts students its best to down play any indepth military knowladge just for a quiet life :)

Ditto,unfortunatly though, No5s..............:(

Its funny that,considering Brazil was an Ally in WW2 and had forces fighting in Italy alongside Britian ,America and Poland....
Does your Army include gendarmes, Military Police units that act as Police in certain areas? If so,that might explain its size relative to germany.

JonnyM:
In this case, yes.


Yes what ? You clearly have no clue about military related issues.

JonnyM:
However when one signs something to say one won't talk about it (normal for any military contract), one should keep that promise.


They employed you just like thousands of other civilians and the papers you had to sign were the same as guys enetring military areas to pump the sh*t out have to sign.

JonnyM:
I made no other claims in this thread.


As always you were pretending to have some special knowledge, connections etc. when in fact you are just a little guy behaving like a semi retarded kid.

JonnyM:
I know exactly which part of the army it was, and I wasn't only in Warsaw.


Enlighten us please. Ah sorry, I forgot... It's top secret of course...

Very likely, though I was doing much more interesting and classier things.

No. Just professional experience over several years and longstanding friendships.

I don't know about 'top' secret, but yes, it is a professional secret. Stop trolling.
