Is the Panzer 2000 fired by pulling a rope???????
Dunno why they are using it. Never seen it in use like that by Dutch forces in Afghanistan.

Problem with the PzH2000 in Afghanistan are the temperatures. For example, inside our Marder IFVs temperatures can easily reach 80 degrees Celcius (!) and I think it won´t be cooler inside a PzH and also you´ve got the loader inside it, no need to put another person inside it. Thus that guy is in the outside, where it´s relatively cool, compared to the cramped interior..

maybe because the noise and dust. i sure would rather pull a rope from 20 m instead of sitting inside.

so i think the rope is optional and preffered in non "intense" moments

In this post I want to honor the anniversary of the Operation "Oluja" (Storm) in which most of the occupied Croatia was liberated from the great-serbian aggresion.

HK G3 used by German forces as DMR in Afghanistan. Notice the costumized shoulder stock.

^^ How much those mags cost you?

The North Iraq Op, obviously. Weapon is an HK33 and the camo is not standard.
