Last, but not least - except that it is because Norway only has 17 HV groups - some miscellaneous pics of HV-17.

Those older helmets are still used by cadets, but yeah, they're largely going away. HV-16 was one of the last HV groups to still use the G3, they got their HK416s a few months ago. The G3 will be retained in very small numbers for emergency or non-critical usage. Slowly and slowly the HV's non-Rapid Response Teams are getting up to par with their regular counterparts.

There's a push right now to update the HV to the level of the Norwegian Army in terms of both training and equipment.

...

Haven't had much too post about Denmark recently. We should fix that.

Keep in mind I'll still be posting the bulk of my pics (especially the newer ones) on AMF.
 

That helmet though:o:!!

And Denmark has to be the only nation not named Canada to use a Canadian rifle as their primaryo_O.

Someone please tell these guys the HK416 exists. The M/10 is the current primary of the Danish Armed Forces.

Anyone want to play a rousing game of "guess what rifle I'm carrying"?

I still think it's strange looking:P. Revision is also creating a new combat helmet for the Danish Armed Forces - Viper P2 "high cut":

No word on how widespread it's adoption will be.

Doh, I forgot about the Netherlands. Norwegian special forces used to have stocks of the C7 too, but they're no longer used.

Good guess, SAKO arms are really popular. But no, it is not from SAKO.

.50. There's a hint for you.

You shouldn't have given me a hint,it was far easier to find ! :mad:

This one ?

For the small story,it was one of the Chris Kyle's (RIP!) favorite sniper. He was saying ;

The .50 Cal
This may come as a surprise, but Kyle was not a fan of .50 cals … at least not most of them. He said, “The fifty is huge, extremely heavy, and I just don’t like it. I never used on in Iraq. There’s a certain amount of hype and even romance for these weapons, which shoot a 12.7x99mm round. There are a few different specific rifles and variations in service with the US military and other armies around the world. You’ve probably heard of the Barrett M-82 or the M-107, developed by Barrett Firearms Manufacturing. They have enormous ranges and in the right application are certainly good weapons. I just didn’t like them all that much.”

He goes on to say, “Everyone says that the .50 is a perfect anti-vehicle gun. But the truth is that if you shoot the .50 through a vehicle’s engine block, you’re not actually going to stop the vehicle. Not right away. The fluids will leak out and eventually it will stop moving. But it’s not instant by any means. A .338 or even a .300 will do the same thing. No, the best way to stop a vehicle is to shoot the driver. And that you can do with a number of weapons.”

But, Kyle did explicitly make one exception to his comments about the .50 cal rifles, saying “The one .50 I do like is the Accuracy International model, which has a more compact, collapsible stock and a little more accuracy; it wasn’t available to us at the time.”

Mass casualty exercise involving both civilian and military medical personal. I took part in similar exercises.

Those are trauma blankets which help prevent hypothermia from the environment and blood loss. They also help prevent a casualty or onlooker from slipping into shock.

The Diemaco C7 and C8 are updated variants of the M16 developed and used by the Canadian Forces and are now manufactured by Colt Canada. The C7 is a further development of the experimental M16A1E1. The C8 is the carbine version of the C7. The C7 and C8 are also used by Hærens Jegerkommando, Marinejegerkommandoen and FSK (Norway), Military of Denmark (all branches), the Royal Netherlands Army and Netherlands Marine Corps as its main infantry weapon. Following trials, variants became the weapon of choice of the British SAS.

Since the Utoya Island attack, training and coordination between the police, especially crisis response units (Beredskapstroppen), and the military (regular and home guard) has increased markedly.

This includes medical training.
