1] The two most popular
rifles among LF members are the AK-47 (Kalach) and the
M-16 in different versions, rifle, commando, carbine,
etc… The standard magazines for both can take up
to 30 rounds but never put 30 rounds in the magazine.
Put 25 or 26 maximum, cause this will cause less pressure
on the spring. The most common reason for rifles to “hang”
is a magazine spring that did not function properly.
2] When in close-range combat, always put a tracer bullet
as your 23rd or 24th round in the magazine. This will
help you to know when to reload, instead of being in a
situation where an empty magazine can get you killed.
Do not do this if you’re using a sniper rifle of
course, or if you’re in a middle to long distance
battle where a tracer bullet can help the enemy discover
your location.
3] Never put your rifle on full-auto mode. Always use
semi-auto. Full-auto is for pussies. Semi-auto is for
soldiers. Full-auto will make you waste a lot of ammo
and will heavily affect accuracy.
4] Always have a lot of ammo and equipment on you, even
if it’s heavy and hurts your shoulders and back.
Believe me, that support that they always say is arriving
soon, it will never arrive, lol, you’re on your
own, so have self-sufficiency
5] When you’re in close combat situations, DO NOT
put your hand grenades or any other explosive material
in the front of your harness (je3beh). A small shrapnel
or any stray bullet can turn you into a flying torch.
Keep them in the back. It would also be very useful to
add a small backpack on the harness, it would give you
a lot of additional space.
6] If you’re fighting in civil clothes, as we did
on many occasions, without proper uniform or equipment,
NEVER wear synthetic or nylon clothes. They catch fire
extremely fast and when you’re in battle, you’re
around fire the whole time. A dark colored sweatshirt
or t-shirt and a pair of jeans will do the job.
7] If you’re injured and the enemy can see you,
control your pain and fake death if you can. This way
you can avoid being a live target for shooting practice.
We faced this situation lots of times, when injured rife’
were shot more than 20 times, at intervals.
8] Always keep these useful gadgets with you: a flashlight,
a utility knife (Swiss Army knife, Leatherman, etc…),
a 10 meter rope with a hook, POWDER disinfectant (the
liquid one will make you bleed more), and last but not
least, a couple of sneakers bars, a really good substitute
for food at all times.
