I have check just to be sure but I am almost 100 % positive there were no Mauser sniper in malvinas, I have seen M14s and FAL with scope used as sniper by the argentine forces.Its worth remembering that the standard British sniper rifle in the Falklands was a L42 a modified Lee Enfield, Argentina may have also used similar WW2 based rifles for sniping. The standard weapon was of course the FN rifle and there wee plenty to go around. The standard weapon carried by British support or second line troops was the Sterling SMG but in the open vista's of the Falkland most people swapped them for captured Argentine weapons. These were very similar to the British SLR and didn't cause any problems with training or use.
As for the person who was spinning a tale about being in the Argentine Army, tragically there are people like him are in every country.

You can go to the topic you closed about argentine women in the multilingual corner, then compare those women with the one above, I dont need to add anything more.Oh, she certainly is. I wonder how that can be though, she is not from Argentina? How is that Charles?

".... Whether their claim to British citizenship is relevant in 2012 is another question."
Indeed, it is, John, but Argentina is hardly a subtle suitor ... and ... if you examine the economic charts provided, it is easy to see why Falklanders would see union with Argentina as a backward step -- a near 33% cut in per person GDP/standard of living.
At the latest revival of this thread I said that co-operation on off shore oil exploration would be a good place for Argentina to start learning co-operation skills - instead of focusing on "conquistador" pilot Prince William Whales, and smashing windows of British banks .....

Its always about oil and the mistaken perception that Britain will not defend its citizens where ever they happen to be living.
A lot of water needs to go under this particular bridge before any progress is made.
I referred to the Northern Irish and the issues there, sometimes a situation develops where is no sloution other than a stalemate...

I would often agree with this type of observation but believe that it isn't right in this case. Argentina didn't invade because of oil, and the UK didn't take it back because of oil. After the conflict the UK didn't build up the military defences at great cost because of oil, but because it was British territory that had been invaded.
It was a matter of principle for both sides and tragically the principles clashed.
I believe that Oil is now being used as an excuse. What oil is doing is giving the Falklanders the chance of a much higher standard of living, far higher than anything they have had in the past. As a result it will reduce any chance of the islanders voting for a union with Argentina. Had it remained a poor sheep based economy then in fairly short time the chances of them voting for a change would have been increased.
I do agree that lot of water will now have to go under the bridge.
