Give your training partner a sucking chest wound

What British army units use this type of trainig, i have never seen it. ?

The South African Defence Force used to have live-firing training ....they may still do it, for all I know. It certainly helps to focus the mind, that's for sure!

It was all live ammo, no BFA was issued, no hearing protection either, you'll need to speak up!

All personnel going through Phase one at Harrogate or Phase 2 (CIC) at catterick will experience it on final battle camp, SCBC & PSBC at Brecon use it.
any unit can do it as long as they have the kit (Which can be demanded in on loan- you just need Cl1 Armourers to sign the kit into use) and they write the RASP for it.

most don't as its a lot of effort and admin

Don't forget the SAS use live rounds in the Killing House, with only a split second to determine which is the target and which is their mate/mates.
At least those guys in Indonesia can see where to aim from the word go.......I still wouldn't fancy it though!.

I wonder how many folks that guy on the left has hit with his hip fired shots....

Did you see how close the rounds were impacting - barely 12" from the poor prone grunt, doesn't take much s*** shooting to cock that up at 15 yards!

I can't say as I know much about the boys in Hereford and whatever training they get upto - heard of the killing house of course but me being fat, lazy and blind - never went for selection "when I was in". I did briefly consider 216 sqn or perhaps even 264 sqn (Aldershot and Hereford respectively) but that was for about .1 of a picosecond and reality kicked back in

Also - you may not be aware of this - but even rear echelon numpties (like me - R.Signals) did / do training where you and a mate (or some random tube you couldn't stand - whatever!) did fire in pairs manouvres using live ammo (might have been 22RF conversion - can't remember, was circa '95 in Barry Buddon after all!). Anyhoo - rounds whizzing by at approx 10 feet distance as you advanced forward to next cover, but the crucial difference though between us and the Indonesian approach - each shooter was accompanied by training staff and told when to move etc.
