A little bit of target practice in the desert.

WTF No.1?

Southern Asia has a long British colonial history, and nowadays there still are a lot of antique British weapons there. The Taliban in Afghanistan still use weapons like the No1. These soldiers are clearing a cache; it's not that soldier his rifle. :)

At least he's showing that he considers his L86 more worthy of lying in the dirt than his new SMLE.  Pity he probably won't be able to keep it.

You know you should just give the Taliban back their muskets.  I mean they're more of a threat to themselves with those.

I'd actually prefer the no.1 to L85, due the fact that .303 has more energy at longer distances than 5.56mm

Its a caliber no longer in use, so even if you prefer that weapon, when you are out of ammo you are fucked.

Many companies still produce .303 full time to this day, it is anything but no longer in use.
