POTD: L’opération Sentinelle à Dijon – FAMAS & HK416F
Photo Of The Day: Today we have a few pictures of the old French FAMAS and their new Heckler & Koch HK416F. The FAMAS above seems to have the controls of the FÉLIN system (Fantassin à Équipement et Liaisons Intégrés or Integrated Infantryman Equipment and Communications), but missing quite a few of the other parts that are supposed to be mounted. Note the integration of the bipod.
The French Heckler & Koch HK416F shorty.
35e régiment d’infanterie (caption machine translated from French):
– 1st company –
The 1st company was deployed as part of Operation Sentinel in Dijon.
Back in pictures on these 2 months of mission.
Transitions – rifle to handgun.
About a year ago The French Army Ordered 75,000 Glock Pistols, but they have only just started arriving to the troops. As you can see these soldiers didn’t get it yet.
All pictures from the 35e régiment d’infanterie.
