F1 SUBMACHINE GUN

[Paul S.]

We had Owens and F1's ... AR15's ruled the roost. ... jungle walk where the targets pop up left and right and you let fly while you crap yourself and the DS throw thunderflashes. ... these 'walk - watch and shoot' ranges ...

Exactly. The AR 15s weighed about the same, was about the same size and a 5.56 mm round has more of a punch than a 9 x 19 mm.

'Walk - watch and shoot ranges' - AKA 'sneaker ranges'.

Peter, I have a Pom Close Quarters Shooting Infantry
Training Pamphlet from circa 1961 - all of about 15 or 20 pages somewhere amongst my 'old junk' as the wife calls it that details the training, qualifications (SMG, SLR, LMG & GPMG) and how to build a sneaker range.
