Talk:Soldier Soldier (TV series)

Just started a major revamp of this page as it was a bit lean. Will look a bit sorry for itself for a few days though. --Commando552 23:52, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

You've done an excellent job so far, however there is a few minor error. The series has the Challenger 1, not Challenger 2 MBT - the CR1 doesn't have the L94a1 chaingun that the Warrior does (the Challenger 2 does however) The CR1 uses the L37A2 7.62mm coaxial machine gun - a variant of the L7 GPMG. Also, the L7/M240 GPMG is also used on the CR1 as the commander's external/AA defence machine gun (although the vehicle mounted variant is the L8A2 if memory serves me correctly) Other than that, the article looks pretty good to me Spanner

Thanks, have added in a pic of the L37 in the L7 section (took a while to find one, most don't seem to have it mounted in the series) and fixed the L94 section to remove the Chally 1. Think Iwill leave out the L8A2 though, unless I find an episode when it is actually used. --Commando552 20:14, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

On another topic, can someone confirm for me whether my guess that the AK-47 looking rifle is actually an R4 is correct as I am by no means an expert on these kinds of rifles.--Commando552 20:14, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

RE:AK/R4 - I'd say you are correct in that it is not a 'real' AK-47, and it does indeed look very similar to the R4, albeit with wooden parts on it (but, like yourself, I am not an AK expert) It does appear to be missing part of the R4 - the metal 'lump' infront of the charging handle but behind the foreguard (visible on the R4 display pic, but not the 'AK')

On the Chally, you've mixed them up - the L37 is the coax MG (not visible in shot), the L8 is the commanders pintle mount (visible in shot). Both are used in an episode (training), along with the CRARRV's L8A2, but I cannot remember the episodes (it was from the Robson Green era of the show) --Spanner
