How to Build a MG Fighting Position

Of course this video is simplified for civilians.

I was never on a Gun Group, although I have helped to dig the gun pit with OHP (overhead protection) enough bloody times. And I did lead the Rifle Group when it mattered. In training only, I used an M60 and an L2A1 SLR fully automatic. When it mattered, I used the 30 round magazine from the L2A1 in my L1A1 SLR semi automatic 7.62mm Rimless NATO. Watched a demonstration of the brand new Mag58 that was to replace the old M60's before they threw me in prison and threw me out. Used plenty of other weapons in the army and as a civie. I once owned plenty of rifles including a Lee Enfield 303, Wehrmacht K98 Mauser 6.5, Swedish Karl Gustav Semi-Auto 6.5, .22's, air rifles in .175 .... And now, all I own is a pickaxe handle, because I'm a good little citizen in the Soviet Socialist Only Black Lives Matter Crypto-Republic of Australia.

FYI, where the US Army works in Platoon size, the Australian army works in Section size. It's different tactics. The Australian army uses what they call Fighting Patrols. The Israeli army uses the same method (know thy enemy). The reason is because the US army has more men at its disposal, so it can afford to use other tactics.

Question: What do you do with a runaway gun?

Answer: Mount bipod and give chase.

Just as I was coming to the end of repairing the forum after a database failure caused at my end by a power outage right at the wrong moment, one of my blinding migraines kicked in. Most of the time I feel fucked for the rest of the day/night and several days after. This time I've got the hangover type feeling combined with a tingling energy. It's not new, but I haven't felt that in years. And I hate it! And the moment I stand up, I have rotten head-spins. This one is unorthodox for me, but it's a really good one. I've become to compliant with my usual migraines feeling as if someone is kicking me in the head every minute or so.

Anyway, so here I am at 5am my time. I'm tired, dizzy, I can't sleep, but as long as I sit at my desk, I'm fine. And that is why I'm watching videos on YouTube. This latest is about the SLR/FNFAL and its history.

When I was in the army, I used two 20 round magazines taped together in training (nobody else did that), until I found out that I could use the 30 round from the fully automatic version - so I acquired a couple of them. A spotlessly clean and freshly painted 20 round magazine for parades, and two 30 round magazines for going bush or on a task.
