Never heard of one?
Is it 5.56x45
Sadly not...just a piddling .177 but used to regularly shoot.22 and.303 with the RAF. Years later held firearms certificate and shotgun license. Do you shoot?

Either you're very, very , very old or do you mean Air Cadets?
I still shoot. I have full bore and air( two of the weapons are the 'real' version of the HK USP and the air. Quite nice to be able to compare). I rarely use rifles these days, but have always preferred firing a pistol anyway.
It's getting harder to find ranges for full bore. The bonus of the Estate is being able to use them without having to go to one. However, I am about to move to a more remote area and will have to do the licence dance again.
And we have arrived at the off track point :D

Kaspersky is Russian, maybe they wanted to spy on you:rolleyes:
 
Maybe they wanted to screw my computer up.... well they suckseeded, they wouldn't let me put an anti virus in, or a firewall, been like that for a week, I even tried to change the registry, it wouldn't let me
 
I have used avg for years and it has been good... topped off with malwarebytes
Also used for several years ..
It wants to scan at startup ..,I let it...
In the registry... you should be able to search for what you want to get Rid of and delete one piece at a time...,
At least in windows 7...

I think the cadets use a modified SA80 so it'll be single shot or possibly semi-automatic 5.56. Might use .22 indoors. I heard rumours there were still some snipers that preferred the .303 in the eighties. The switch from the 7.62 SLR was around then so he needn't be that old. Wammers probably remembers pulling to the ear and doing his own fletching. :) :)

Prior to the plastic, not fantastic*, they used the .303 and .22. The .303 for Regular Service went out around the late 50s - early 60s. When the 7.62 came in. Other countries continued to use it , as did our cadets.



* other weapons are used by the cadets but not relevant to this bit of the convo :)
