Re: Danish TO & E
1. The Home Guard snipers existed until 2008 when the last GV M/66 (H&K designation G3A5) were withdrawn. The SSR company supporting Danish regular SOF units retains snipers.
2. Danish Army snipers today have the TRG-42 as the main sniper system, but can chose a HK-417 or a M/66 if that fits better with the mission.
3. The Danish army has determined that the MG3 will not be replaced with any 5.56x45 MG, but with a 7.62x51 MG, IMHO the HK 121 being a likely candidate.
4. Meanwhile the remaining MG3's in the Home Guard are being transfered to the army for use in Afghanistan. In return the number of C7 LSW's in the Home Guard are being increased significantly. Depending on squad type up to 4 LSW's in a 8 man squad.
5. The AT-4 and grenade launchers were withdrawn from the Home Guard 2 years ago, and Carl Gustav use has been severely restricted.
