POTD: Canadians with VZ-58 Rifles
Welcome back to our Photo Of The Day! If you haven’t shot the back-to-basics VZ-58 rifle, I can tell you that it sends the brass just as pictured here – kind of straight up, and with brute force to a place far, far away. Don’t try to bump fire one with a cap on, because the cap will only catch the flying brass and direct it to your face. Don’t ask me how I know, and follow us for more advice like this.
These images are from the NATO enhanced Forward Presence Battle Group Latvia, and below you can learn more about the exercise:
Canadian soldiers became familiar with the personal weapons (the VZ-58 7.62 x 39 mm assault rifle) of Slovakian soldiers during a shared live fire exercise, hosted by members of the Slovakian Military. We train to increase interoperability and maintain readiness.
-“If you put the paratrooper stock in the pocket here, it hurts from the recoil” …is what I imagine the instructor saying.
Thanks for reading/watching. Surprise us with a comment below. One that we haven’t seen before, and have a nice day!
