Slugs not very accurate for that kind of work, I would think. Barrel is not rifled and the slug itself isnt exactly milled for accuracy either.
To be honest at the ranges it's expected to be used I'm not sure it would have to be, but point made
Not to mention having the power to blow an entire lock mechanism right out of the frame.
If you really want to; we always preferred actually removing the door - reduces its status as a choke-point considerably and means it's a lot harder to just wedge shut later on if for whatever reason the fighting moves - not to mention the fact that it's infinitely more fun.
Wasn't thinking of MBTs. More of what Mobboss said. Incidentally, how are rocket launchers handed out? Or is it just more prudent to call in armor or air support for enemy entrenchments and armor?
Everyone can expect to carry a one-shot rocket-launcher called the '66' or 'LAW' (although realistically nowadays they probably wouldn't give everyone one for Afghanistan, but it would certainly be two per ten-man section at least) and the platoon has the Javelin - formerly the MILAN - which is a guided missile system; and they're talking of bringing in a specialist weapon for blowing holes in enemy structures. For enemy entrenchments the best thing in my experience has always been mortar fire; rocket launchers are for putting one hole in something solid like a wall or tank, although they have been used for taking out snipers in Afghanistan. We always use air support if we've got it, ditto any asset - at the end of the day an enemy killed by the RAF is someone you don't have to fight up close during the assault.
Heh, I figured I'd get a good haul out of you.
I really liked the Grenadiers'. Its so simple with only the flutes and drums, and yet so evocative. You can tell straight away that it has a lot of history behind it.
Let's go international, here's a few from Finland.
March of the Guard Battalion, nowadays the regimental march of the Guard Jäger regiment in Helsinki. My favorite of the regimental marches, even though it wasn't my unit.
March of the Finnish Cavalry. From the Thirty Years' War. Probably the best known of Finnish marches, in that someone in continental Europe might have heard it.
Hakakomppanian marssi. (Don't know how I should translate it.) The best of the stuff that was made during Winter and Continuation war.
Jäger March. Obligatory for an infantryman.
March of the Vyborg Battalion. March of the Karelia Brigade these days. I don't care for it all that much, but it's what I mostly marched to.
I'm going to be humming a few of those today - nice ones.
