L7

L7A1/L7A2, the british General Purpose Machine gun (GPMG) affectionately named the "Gimpy" is the principle machine gun of the british army. Firing the 7.62 X 51mm NATO cartirdge at a rate of fire of 750 RPM, the weapon has a range of 800 M in the light role (used on a bipod) and 1800 M in sustained fire role (fitted to a tripod). It has a muzzle velocity of 838 M/S. It is 1.23 M long in the light role and weighs 13.85 KG when loaded with a 50 round desintigating belt.

the L7 gimpy opened up, ripping the van to shreds as four PIRA ran down the hedgerow, closely persued by another, this time fatal, burst of fire.

flashbang

(Grenade, hand, stun). a less lethal grenade used by US police, as well as special forces the world over. Typically such grenades deliver 9 ear splittingly loud bangs and blinding flashes, which come half a second apart. These grenades stun and have a seriously immobilising effect. (From experience) your head seems uncapable of functioning, you cannot see strait (if at all) and you can hear nothing but ringing. The effects last a considerable time, and leave you with a banging headache. In a situation of use, such grenades would be tossed into a room to "prepare" them for a hostage rescue clearance.

a flashbang is tossed into the room.

B A N G !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very very very loud, trust me! The occupants of the room are stunned and find themselves unable to do anything.

Then a four man assault team takes any terrorists prisoner or immobilises any firther threat before lining up the hostages for search and check.
