The Cadets are a fantastic thing - I was one from 14 to 18, although we weren't anything like so well equipped - we had 1937 Pattern webbing, .303 No.IV MkI Lee-Enfields, and .303 Bren Guns! Just like WW2! (Hear me complaining?)
Did you enjoy playing with what has to be the civilized world's worst service rifle?
Never used it myself, thank goodness, but apparently:
A:if you hit the ground hard, as one does, the pistol grip falls off.
B: the issue bugjuice eats the furniture.
C: the mag release catch is on the left, just where your thumb falls when you grasp the mag - and rubs on your webbing so the mag falls out at interesting moments.
D: the optical sight takes you longer to acquire a target.
And so on. I expect these faults have all been addressed by now, but it doesn't give you much confidence.
I liked my old SLR. You could shoot through all sorts of things with it, walls, trees, etc.
This pic was not taken while in service - just having fun! But the rifle, an FN FAL/R1, is nice!
