Talk:SIG SG 510

The Picture
Technically, I think the Chilean soldiers are "standing in front of" rather than "guarding." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.113.163.33 (talk) 16:35, 31 July 2008 (UTC) well anyway i standardised the article to project firearms stndards —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.241.246.76 (talk) 08:06, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Swiss Army cadets
I deleted the following text:

Swiss army cadets who commit errors during basic training are sometimes forced to carry the older and heavier SG 510 instead of the normal SG 550 as a punishment. This is done both as a symbolic form of humiliation, and because the significantly increased weight of the SG 510 makes the drills more strenuous. Nevertheless some of the cadets made to carry the 510 actually prefer it to the standard rifle because of its greater durability and ease of disassembly, and its steadier handling in fully-automatic fire due to the heavier weight and sturdier construction.

Comment: 1)There are no cadets in the Swiss army, there are recruits.

2)Swiss Army training and punishment questions ar at the wrong place here. hmaag (talk) 11:44, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
