FN303 in the news

[DamianTC]

I doubt those soldiers shooting them were walking the trigger firing off case after case of 2000 pepperballs.. It wouldn't look like the line of players waiting at the fill station between games.. enough air wasn't the issue... all this "less lethal" stuff came out after 9/11 at the begining of the war when we wanted to capture.. not kill the people responsible for 9/11. It seems our goverment is starting to lose interest in that plan now

Sounds like a guy writing a report just to get the paycheck

I have sincere doubts that anything made by the combined efforts of Tom Kaye and the staff at Fabrique Nationale De Herstal would "fall apart"...

The clamshell body screams Tippmann to me, and though they're hard to break, they're easy to f-up while attempting to maintain them. Also, there's lots and lots of plastic in the magazine and forend. I've handled one once and it could survive a long lot of woodsball play, but in the desert that'd be a different story. Automags work fine exposed to water, but simple STBBs are the only semi automatic markers I've encountered that can handle constant sand and grit...

So does this mean we could possibly purchase some surplus!?!?

Look at the bright side their loss is our gain!!!

the sad part is seeing all the crushed or broken coded out ones over here....

talked to some of the guys today... they were pretty vague.. but they said there's a place out here that has a fill station that fills the tanks for them.

let's not forget that these aren't going to be used in hot (combat) zones..........more like border crossings, detention areas, places where less-lethal instruments keep the "Public Relations" aspect of the 'invading force' at a 'more reasonable' level....

Hell, we use them almost every day at work. In our use of force paradigm, they are in the same category as our Tasers and OC spray......
