Ragazzi non è una chat, se anche scrivete qualche parola in più non muore mica nessuno!
(più che altro perchè si accumulano post e pagine per niente...)
Comunque le prime aor se non sbaglio erano state date al team six, a meno che non si siano diffuse anche in altri reparti (cosa che ritengo probabile, visto che in america questo genere di cose vengono distribuite con una certa celerità ai reparti di "punta"). Su ebay il materiale in aor va via a prezzi stellari.
Una bella foto di propaganda, anche perchè M14 ok ma mags da 5.56 sul tattico.... insomma....
Credo che si sia fatto dare l'm14 per prova ma che avesse svolto il training con un colt...

The 1st Battalion, 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne), held their first Scorpion Coalition at Fort Bragg, N.C., Sept. 30. Scorpion Coalition is an end of year battalion team-building exercise where teams of seven to eleven members compete in different weaponry events.
To begin the competition, all teams were taken to a centralized starting point where their first event was to march 6.8 miles to a collective stopping point. From there the teams separated and marched to different ranges where they were required to complete events based on time and accuracy; the faster the time and the more accurate the rounds, the higher the score. The competition’s events included the standard M4 rifle and M9 pistol qualification, known-distance M4 rifle qualification out to 500 meters, mortars and demolitions.
Once a team finished an event at one range, they were instructed to march to the next range and perform the next event, and so on. This round robin of ranges continued until each team completed each event. The top three teams at each event where given 100 points while everyone else received 50. The team with the most points after all the events won.
