Introduction: (Army Cadets) Webbing Set Up
This is an instructable on what to carry in your webbing. In the field you need some essential kit to live and work comfortably. This is only Army Cadets so I won't go into too drastic detail.
As a senior cadet I tend to carry some extra kit. This is usually used for added duties which may not apply to you. I have a fair experience on this subject. But my preference may not necessarily suit you. Think up your own set-up this will help you remember in the long run.

you do not put anything in your ammo pouches apart from ammo other than that it's a good demo

are you in the french reserve? i saw the gun (a famas, i think. corect me if im wrong.) and i think its a french gun.
Reply 13 years ago on Introduction
Not a FAMAS, though it does show the same bullpup style mag feed. The rifle he has is an L85, the standard British assault rifle. Up until the 80's, Britain was still using single shot rifles, only recently have they adopted the "spray n' pray" mentality.

being a cadet, isn't he holding an l98 cadet semi-auto variant of the l85?
Reply 11 years ago on Introduction
From me being a cadet (air cadet) chances are that's not an L85 it is probably an L98A1 or A2 depending on how long ago this was taken. The L98 has had the change lever removed so it can not fire on full automatic and the A2 is semi-automatic unless you change the gas plug round where as you have to re-cock the L98A1 after each shot which was just a pain.
