If you like Special forces – Stay Behinds, Recon , Covert Ops then Im hoping you will like these!
Spetnaz and SAS squads
The spetnaz 4 man team has 1 rpk, 1 Druganov , 2 AK's one with UGL. Also one is the radio operator
The SAS squad are armed with SLR's (needs barrel repair) M16's (one with UGL) Pretty cool for some of the Red Sky White Light scenarios to!!!!

…not sure an SAS squad would be seen dead with SLRs…(except when pretending to be the Green army)… |

Traveller insurgents ahoy. |

The SAS chose what they wanted and apparently many loved the SLR despite its size. It had accuracy and stopping power |

It is totally inaccurate, and the stopping power irrelevant above 400 yards when you need to resort to group firing – and the gas regulator makes it prone to stoppages.. appalling weapon in the model inflicted on British forces. The fully automatic versions was admittedly marginally better. |

Personally I found the SLR to be accurate and reliable, all about maintenance and the age of the individual weapon I expect, some of the training establishments had rifles with 'heritage' and the rattles to prove it…..! 'Stocky' figures? Northern Europe means cold weather gear and waterproofs, not strictly for the winter either!
Look and compare ho 'bulky' and encumbered Western forces appear next to African and Asian troops…….or irregulars for that matter. |

I read that there was one Spetznaz company per army, comprising 135 men per company split into 15 teams, so that would make them 9 man teams |
