Flintlock provides an opportunity, along with other U.S. military-hosted events, for African nations to share their strategies and best practices to accelerate the collective ability to adapt and overcome the terrorist threat.

    looking at the picture,
    when they hit a target on 1000m they get ammo and magazines.

    The butt stock on that Zastava just doesn't look right. It appears to be adjustable, and is probably superior to the classic style "hollow"? stock, but it just looks so out of place that I hate it. It's like an AR type stock on a shotgun or AK. It looks like the rifle was involved in a tragic teleporter accident.
