Re: French OOB question
Thanks Mobhack & Fastboat Tough for your precise answers.
Being in French Navy I can at least answer a bit about the G2 :
The G2 version is only a slightly mofified version, it is in service in the Navy and the 'Fusilers Marins' (French Marines)which are part of the Navy . It is simply better suited for use in the water environment, it can also fire different munitinons. However there is no more change per se. It's not in use in the French Army which kept the F1.
For the Army The added sights are issued in units on OPEX (opération extérieures - outside operations). This is just an add on like a red point etc... I have seen them in Djibouti. I Never was in Afganistan but on photos from there they are all equipped. On the other side in Cameroon in 2004 we get only completly normal, bare, FAMAS.
As for the FELIN, i know it's still being tested, and don't know how it will compare to more basic systems.
Anyway thank you for answers, if i can help with translations or reseraching, no problem.
