"Gepard GM6 Lynx likened to a howitzer"

I would liken it more to a low yield tactical nuclear weapon.

Great, I look forward to a neighbour of mine picking one up for home defense in the near future. They'll be able to take out the burglar and a family across the sheet with one shot.

Well, it will make a change from taking out a burglar and 4 families across the street with 50 shots from an assault rifle with a high capacity magazine...!

True, too painfully true.

Probably best not to go there because there are so many good stories on the Mail website you'll be on it for hours.

Sidebar of shame perhaps?

 

[Smokin Joe]

I want one. Be great for back garden ratting.

Came across one of these when I was in the CCF, not sure why as it was pretty obsolete by then but almost the same calibre

We used to stuff our berets under our tunics to try and reduce the recoil from the 303s. I seem to remember that they had a metal plate at the end of the butt just to make it even harder.

I just caught the dying days of the FAL, and that had a fair kick. Nice and tight into the shoulder reduced the effects somewhat.

There were some folding atock FALs about that had been captured in the Falklands, and I never did fancy having a go with them.

Yes, they did have a bit of a kick. Played merry hell with your hearing too after a couple of hours on the range.
