Nice FNH SCAR-L

NB : these guys aren't SF but conventionnal "Groupe de Commandos Parachutistes" from 3 ou 8 RPIMA.

A lot of these guys appear to be equipped with F�LIN. Does anyone know which of the units in CAR have it? I'd love to know if they find it useful.

Mat_frNB : these guys aren't SF but conventionnal "Groupe de Commandos Parachutistes" from 3 ou 8 RPIMA.

I think some of them are SF based on their helmets/guns. I've seen three distinct rigs: 1. older-style helmet and FAMAS 2. the newer F�LIN helmets/guns and 3. what I think are SF helmets and guns that are neither of the above perhaps something in the M-4 family.

These guys aren't SF? The helmets and guns aren't FELIN. Or am I wrong?

Hello these are guys 1st rhp

http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/1er_r%C..._parachutistes

Damnit... Civilians should know that even if you're angry even if you have the feeling the allied military is on your side you just DON'T try to lynch a guy escorted by armed military professionnals ! I hate mobs...

A question to you LEOs and military folks had there ever been a study as to why people behave stupidly even in the presence of allied troops ? Like interfering with the arrest of your ennemy (he's already being taken away why mess the arrest by being a doorknob ?)? If you had these situation what does training say about putting up with thickheaded civilians ?
