Happy New Year with a post card selection...

The country that avoids war and the country that fights but has a hard time winning have been combined. The Swiss made some excellent firearms and the French made some unique and occasionally inspiring ones. We have added the Belgian and Dutch since they are neighbors.

Joe it's a small device on top of the receiver that allows the instructor to check the way the soldier is aiming, see also this posting with the same kind of devices for the K11 and K31...
