Is this weird or is it just me, picrel?

>>64339557
what's the different between this and the rpg7
>>
damn lol they bought the full israeli package, they even come with FAB defense stocks
>>
pretty surprising that every rifleman is a grenedier but i guess in jungles explosive spam is the way to go.
>>
>>64339579
What?
>>
>>64339571
nothing
>>
>>64339557
Not even a sidearm for the RPG gunners?
>>
>>64339557
In the US, every marine is a rifleman. In Russia, every rifleman is a grenadier.

all made in israel

I guess Vietnam loves the AK platform
>>
The firepower comes from MG, it can suppress for other squads to maneuver, riflemen are just there to escort the MG, the AT prevents them from being overrun by armor, looks fine
>>
>>64339648
I see, tnx.
>>
>>64339557
It's no murder medic, but with yhat much kaboom it'll do
>>
Do the 6 (or 8?) AT fellas in the platoon just chill around if not fighting an armoured force or do they carry anti-personnel stuff like thermobarics?
>>
>>64339557
Literally no one has a standard rifle, the squad leader and vehicle crew have carbines, the riflemen all have 40mms, there's the PKM guy, and 2 guys running around with only RPGs I guess.

That's not a galil
>>
>>64340238
Define "standard rifle"
>>
>>64340283
rifleman rifle without grenade launcher
>>
>>64340288
So what's the issue
>>
>>64340297
Logistics, imagine needing to keep all of that supplied. You have two different rifle calibers per squad, which is manageable, but then you also need 40mm grenades for 3 people, spare barrels for the PKM, and finally rockets for the not one but two RPGs. It's just a lot of shit to lug around for a 9 man squad, even if it is mechanized.
>>
>>64340302
Yeah imagine
>>
>>64340302
You'd think that instead of all that 40mm ammo, you could just carry anti-personnel warheads for those RPGs and have the anti-tank gunners pull double duty as enti-emplacement gunners.

Also, if we're assuming that fire & maneuver is the basis of their small unit tactics, what do you do with not one, but two guys ONLY carrying RPGs? Isn't the APC gunner supposed to provide the "fire" element in this scenario? If you encounter a dismounted infantry ambush along a jungle road, are they expected to charge the enemy positions, or just hang back and fire PG-7Vs wildly into the treeline?
>>
>>64340334
You can use the RPG-7 in CQC if you hold it backwards, baka
>>
>>64340316
i wish i had the folding stock saw instead of the shitty para carbine one.
>>
>>64340316
If both automatic riflemen have SAWs it's just one rifle caliber, and 2 grenade launchers and 1 AT launcher is a lot more of a reasonable logistical burden than 3 grenade launchers and 2 launchers
