IRL: I saw an Ausie S.A.S. seargent stand on the 300m mound, with his back to the target. Cocked, spun and unloaded 30 single shot rounds in 10-15 sec flat. He hit dead centre with less than 20mm of spread (around 2/3").
I was suitably impressed.
I'm pretty sure it's inspired by it, it fulfills the same role.
You bet your bollocks we have our own S.A.S. crew, one of the best elite units in the world. In Vietnam they were called 'The Phantoms of the Jungle' and were know to modify their standard FN-FAL to this:GrizzlerBorno said:Australia has it's own S.A.S.? Didn't know that.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SASRNicknamed "The *****". These rifles were field modified, often from heavy barrelled L2A1 automatic rifles, with their barrels cut off immediately in front of the gas block, and often with the L2A1 bipods removed and a XM148 40 mm grenade launcher mounted below the barrel. The XM148 40 mm grenade launchers were obtained from U.S. forces. For the L1A1, the lack of fully-automatic fire resulted in the unofficial conversion of the L1A1 to full-auto capability by simply filing down the selector.
It's modelled off the British one and even has the same motto, there's also a New Zealand one that's very closed tied to ours. It's actually the called SASR to differeniate from your guys. Though I believe part of it's origin comes from the Australian commando squads behind the lines in the Pacific.GrizzlerBorno said:Australia has it's own S.A.S.? Didn't know that.

I line have a single shot bolt action rifle, so I have to take the time to line it up again.Zeeky_Santos said:Is that successively or do you take time to line up the shot again though?Berethond said:I can shoot five rounds through the same hole with a .22 at 40 yards with open sights.
Yep. Britan, New Zealand, Australia and Canada have Special Air Service regiments (that I know of). Britan also has a marine branch, the Special Boat Service.WolfThomas said:It's modelled off the British one and even has the same motto, there's also a New Zealand one that's very closed tied to ours.

The Vietcong called them "Ma Rung" or jungle phantoms, because of how impressed/scared they were.
