Semper talis!

[@bepolite6961]

I bet those RAF lads had a great time with their German counterparts. I served with them for two years on a NATO base, my boss was an Oberstabsfeldwebel the 2I/C Yank Army, four guys on my section were Bundeswehr, the other guys were yanks, Dutch and Belgians. The Germans really know the meeting of hospitality. I believe the expression they have for it is Kameradschaft. We were hosted at their Kaserne numerous times and treated like honoured guests. Happy days, I rate them very high as professional soldiers and bloody good people.

Where is the SLR? All I see is the SA80

[@thorstenthorsten2267]

Lob und Anerkennung.... mega! Danke für euren Dienst an der Demokratie und dem deutschen Volk!

[@Biketunerfy]

It would be great to see them bring back out the Mark 4s or the SMLEs because there’s something to be said about using old bolt action rifles for drill. They are thinner and easier to handle than a bulpup rifle.

[@daviddaw7330]

A few years ago the RAF Regt did a display using the three rifles No4, SLR and SA80 all at the same time and IIRC they did it in uniforms of the times.

[@tavish4699]

Nah. I'm sure you can. Just a lil bit lazy to do it. But you're good though.. lol

[@RNGesus15]

Cant say fixed i think. It was a great rifle before HK switched some small details. ❤

[@oisinmtom]

@@RNGesus15 It was not you'd be better off with the KAR 98K thats on display than deployed with the orginal SA80 the L85A1.

[@garagenigel]

I'm pretty sure BAE systems bought H&K to carry out the upgrades so technically it was fixed by a British owned German company 😉

[@ladela7348]

​@@theemirofjaffa2266 We can, just look at the AWM. It's incredible how a team of professionals design a piece of crap like the L86A1 and yet two blokes in a shed can make the AWM.

[@rudigersiebels6919]

Das SA80 sollte durch Lee,Enfields ersetzt werden bei protokollarischen anlaessen

[@jan-eric-schacht]

Es soll einmal Zeiten gegeben haben, da wurden illegalerweise Schrauben an Gewehren gelöst, damit man die Griffe besser hört, wenn sie "gekloppt" werden...

[@LANDYMAN090]

If they change it it should be for the SLR (FN). But remember all moves done by the QCS or now the KCS are all drill moves. That’s why they don’t throw or twirl the rifles around.

Hätte mir da zum Abschluss auch noch einen Salut-Schuss vom Wachbataillon gewünscht (sowas war früher ja auch möglich). Ansonsten wirklich top!

[@overopensights]

Its nice to see that one of these units stick to traditional old drill movemts and not do the Amrican 'imported stuff' even though it was well done.

[@geoffreylee5199]

My late Grandfathers told me in the 1970s … in 1914 the Germans were our friends, the French were not. Propaganda was so good that decades later, the ideas still stuck.

[@meganoob12]

meh, in 1914 the british didn't really have a stake in WWI and at first wanted to sit that one out. You guys thought the others would weaken each other and you'll be far ahead at the end of it all... of course you didn't know about the Schliefenplan and that Germany would invade your semi ally Belgium. Now, I don't wanna say your grandfather lied to you. The british people were very much aaccustomed to Germans and there were many friendships and family ties before the great war. Many Germans worked as bartenders in Britain before the war and were well liked.

[@andreasdurrschmidt5321]

[@IntrinsicSV]

Brilliant, I spent 5 Years on QCS, still think the SLR was better for drill than the SA80. The irony of all this is my Father learned his drill with the Kar98K that the German are carrying back in 1941🤣

the drill would've been so much less awkward if the Brits brought a proper drilling rifle (aka the Lee Enfield) instead of their service rifle.

[@MayYourGodGoWithYou]

The German team are great to watch [mite USAmericanised to outside eyes possibly] but aren't their rifles a trifle old fashioned?

[@ak_propra]

Guess that's a question of taste. I definitely prefer the 98k over modern weapons for parading. I mean in a lot of armies officers still wear sabres.

[@BamesNond4882]

I think the Wachbattalion uses the Kar98k because it can execute traditional Prussian drills, unlike more modern rifles e.g the G3 or G36.

[@RumboRack-u7u]

[@holgerbock9838]

[@-----REDACTED-----]

To be fair it probably is easier to perform classic drill moves with classic rifles such as the K98k. Perhaps a reintroduction of the SMLE for protocol duty might be an idea?

[@EngPheniks]

instead of the grey suited guard battalion drill team, the germans should bring out the blue suited Luftwaffe drill team. it'd be a reboot of the Battle of Britain.

[@Joe_biden_for_communism]

WE are living in the 21st century! The war is over

[@meganoob12]

the drill team is always the same. They just switch uniforms depending on the event/guest. But I agree that the blue Luftwaffe uniform is classy

[@stevethomas5849]

UK should use the iconic Lee Enfield as the SA80 IS CRAP. As the Germans appear to using a bolt gun possible K98 with a more impressive display.

[@meganoob12]

it's the K98K
