			<title>British Sniper Equipment 2008-2011+</title>

			<description>&lt;p&gt;British Sniper Equipment 2008-2011+&lt;br /&gt;info from british Club by Dread&lt;br /&gt;Непрочитанное сообщение Dread » Сб янв 07, 2012 1:53 am&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;Решил составить и выложить на обозрения список снаряжения и вещей которые используются снайперами Ее Величества. Итак поехали по порядку.&lt;br /&gt;1. Комплект старой формы - Необходим для изготовления маскхалата.&lt;br /&gt;2. Армейский грим - Основные цвета это зеленый и коричневый. Используется для маскировки рук, лица, ушей, шеи и остальных открытых частей тела.&lt;br /&gt;3. Оливковая эластичная стропа - В основном используется для создания затяжек, петелек для естественных элементов маскировки а так же для камуфлирования винтовки.&lt;br /&gt;4. Оливковая клейкая лента (Green Sniper Tape) - Применяется для подмотки шлеек на разгрузочной системе, рюкзаке, кемеле, для маскировки прицела, винтовки, приборов наблюдения и прочих вещей которые не должны демаскировать.&lt;br /&gt;5.Старые ботинки - Для использования с маскхалатом. В основном могут обклеиваться тем же снайпер тейпом. (Судя из перечитанных мною рекомендаций, лучше всего подойдут какие нибудь дезерты)&lt;br /&gt;6. Снайперская винтовка. До мая 2008 года можно использовать L96, позже только L115A3 (Наиболее кошерными клонами являются Star AW .338, Well AW .338 и Well AW .338 Spring Version.&lt;br /&gt;7. PLCE - Зачем она нужна думаю объяснять не стоит. Это один из основных элементов снаряжения.&lt;br /&gt;8. Берген - В нем переносится все вспомогательное снаряжение.&lt;br /&gt;9. Компас Silva + GPS Garmin Foretrex 401&lt;br /&gt;10. Protractor RA 6” (mils) - Такой себе специфический транспортир. Основное применение заключается в составлении плана позиции с нанесением углов обзора, поправок и прочей необходимой информации.&lt;br /&gt;11. Огниво - Зажигалка или спички могут прийти в негодность.&lt;br /&gt;12. Кусачки - Обычно используется штык нож + ножны для него.&lt;br /&gt;13. Фляга - В эпоху гидраторов не особо нужна, но сливать воду с нее намного проще.&lt;br /&gt;14. Складной нож - В этом плане наиболее кошерен SF71700 Sheffield British Army Clasp Knife.&lt;br /&gt;15. Issue Basha DPM/DDPM - Расцветка выбирается исключительно под местность. Берется не ради защиты от дождя а больше как основа для создания замаскированной снайперской позиции.&lt;br /&gt;16. Issue Gore Tex Suit - Дабы в дождь и слякоть чувствовать себя комфортно.&lt;br /&gt;17. Непромокаемый чехол для карты.&lt;br /&gt;18. Спальный мешок - Какой именно выбирать вам. Но если игра суточная то скорее всего он и не понадобится :)&lt;br /&gt;19. Комплект сухой униформы в герметичном мешке - Берется исключительно про запас. Не факт что пригодится.&lt;br /&gt;20. Калькулятор - В первую очередь необходим для различных расчетов. На данный момент не особо популярны ввиду появления баллистических карманных компьютеров.&lt;br /&gt;21. Реппелент - Насекомые самые злобные враги снайпера, они не будут давать покоя пока вы на позиции.&lt;br /&gt;22. Issue Hydration System - Ну вы поняли :)&lt;br /&gt;23. Шарф сетка - На его основе можно с легкостью соорудить простенькую маскировочную накидку.&lt;br /&gt;24. Инфракрасный маркер - IZLID 200P Laser Pointer.&lt;br /&gt;25. Инфракрасный прибор наблюдения и дальномер - Surveillance System and Range Finder (SSARF)&lt;/p&gt;</description>

						&lt;p&gt;19 Battery had the distinction of being the senior Battery in the Royal Artillery. Raised on 26 May 1716 as T. Pattison&#039;s Company. It was granted the honour title &amp;quot;Gibraltar 1779 - 83&amp;quot; on 13 Nov 1934 in recognition of its service during the siege of Gibraltar.&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;From 1779 to 1783 the British in Gibraltar under General Elliott were continuously besieged by overwhelming French and Spanish land and naval forces. The garrison, never more than 7,000 men, facing the constant hazards of disease and starvation, and withstanding successive attacks from fire ships, heavy bombardment and battering ships, held out for year after year against an enemy which at times numbered over 40,000.&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;The siege was raised on 5 Feb 1783 after 3 years 7 months and 12 days of appalling hardship. Of the 1231 killed, the Royal Artillery suffered the heaviest losses. To commemorate their courage five Battery&#039;s now bear the honour title Gibraltar 1779-83.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;Since 1945 the Battery has been placed into suspended animation twice. It was finally reformed on 19 July 1955 as 19 (Gibraltar 1779 - 83) heavy Battery with 39 Regiment at Perham Down.&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;After a tour in Cyprus in 1958 the Battery moved to Sennelager and re-equipped with Honest John Rocket. In 1972 it moved to Dortmund and on 18 March 1977 to Menden converting to the Lance Missile system.&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;19 Battery along with the other missile Battery provided tactical support to 1 (BR) Corps operating throughout West Germany during the era of the &#039;Cold War&#039;.&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;Outside Germany the Battery has seen active service all over the world, including America, South Africa, Malta, UK and more recently Cyprus and Northern Ireland. Several members of the Battery served with units in the Gulf Conflict, bringing the total number of actions fought to 31.&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;In March 1993 50 Missile Regiment was placed into suspended animation. The Battery title was amalgamated with 5 (Gibraltar) Battery to become 19/5 Gibraltar Battery and was to be based at Larkhill, being the British Battery, in the Allied Command Europe Mobile Force Artillery.&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;The battery was attached to 26th Regiment RA in October 2007 as a Formation Recce Tac Group and are the fourth Tac Gp within the Regiment. Officially they come under 55 Bty.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

						&lt;p&gt;Lance Bombardier Mathew Andrews from 26 Regiment Royal Artillery is providing fire support to infantry soldiers in the Nad-e Ali area of the province.&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;The South African born soldier - who now lives in St Boswells, Roxburghshire, joined the British army back in 2007 and became an artillery forward observer, where he works in a small team known as a Fire Support Team (FST).&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;The FST provides infantry with a range of fire support - from engaging the enemy with indirect weapons such as the mortars or a 105mm Light Gun, through to calling in the Apache attack helicopter.&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;LBdr Andrews said: &amp;quot;I enjoy patrolling on the ground with my infantry unit and I like the responsibility that I have. Being in control of assets that will ensure the patrol&#039;s safety if they were to get into trouble is a great feeling.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;LBdr Andrews is a physical training instructor (PTI) and he works in the gymnasium when the regiment is back in camp in Gutersloh, Germany.&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;LBdr&#039;s mother and sister live in St Boswell, Roxburghshire, Scotland, and he is looking forward to seeing both his fianc&amp;#233;e Louise and family in the future when he returns home from tour in April.&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;He said: &amp;quot;I miss my both fianc&amp;#233;e and family a lot. However, I&#039;d like them to know that I am looking after myself and I will see them all soon.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;

						&lt;p&gt;British bomb disposal expert&#039;s Taliban warning as new soldier dies in Afghanistan Jul 23 2009&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;A British bomb disposal expert killed as he tried to defuse a device in Afghanistan had warned that the Taliban were &amp;quot;clever&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;trying to find ways to catch us out&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;A British bomb disposal expert killed as he tried to defuse a device in Afghanistan had warned that the Taliban were &amp;quot;clever&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;trying to find ways to catch us out&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;Captain Dan Shepherd, 28, was named yesterday as the 187th Briton to die there since 2001.&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;But almost immediately the toll rose to 188 when a soldier from 1st Battalion Coldstream Guards was killed by an explosion while on patrol with 1st Battalion Welsh Guards in Helmand province.&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;He is the 19th British serviceman to die in Afghanistan in July - our worst month for combat deaths.&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;The grim statistic was revealed as a senior politician embarrassed Gordon Brown by fuelling the row over resources for UK troops. Outgoing Foreign Office minister Lord Malloch-Brown said: &amp;quot;We definitely don&#039;t have enough helicopters.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;The prophetic warning by Captain Shepherd was made exactly a month ago when he said on TV: &amp;quot;The Taliban have got some very good intelligence on the way we conduct our business. They watch us closely, trying to find ways to catch us out. We have to be aware that every action we take could be used as a way of catching us out in future.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;Capt Shepherd, of Lincoln, who served with the Joint Force Explosive Ordnance Disposal Group, was killed on Monday.&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;He had dealt with more than 50 bombs in Afghanistan and was due to take an Army job back in Britain aimed at counteracting the threat from Taliban ambushes.&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;His wife Kerry said: &amp;quot;He was doing what he loved. I was so proud of him. I have lost not just a husband but a best friend. He will be missed by everyone.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;COURAGEOUS&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;A statement from his family said: &amp;quot;We are very proud of our youngest son and husband. He lived life to the full. Daniel worked hard to achieve all he set out to do. He has left a huge hole in our lives.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;His CO, Lt Col Roger Lewis, said: &amp;quot;He was incredibly courageous yet immensely modest about his stunning achievements.&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Dan was a consummate and technically gifted officer. He understood fully the dangerous nature of his job yet every day was the first to put his own life on the line. To have the honour to serve alongside him was a humbling experience. He was an inspiration.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;Major Eldon Millar said: &amp;quot;Captain Dan Shepherd was a man of extraordinary talent - determined and unbelievably courageous. He was the epitome of cool and utterly unflappable, which inspired enormous confidence in all who served with him.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;In yesterday&#039;s political spat, Lord Malloch-Brown later attempted to climb down from his criticism over helicopter numbers by saying there were &amp;quot;without doubt sufficient resources in place for current operations&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;But the Prime Minister was still left on the defensive during a press grilling on the issue. He said: &amp;quot;I am satisfied that Operation Panther&#039;s Claw has the resources it needs to be successful.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;He was quickly contradicted by an ex-commander of UK troops in Helmand. Brigadier Ed Butler said that while the Panther&#039;s Claw offensive may have the equipment and helicopters needed, &amp;quot;the wider campaign has been insufficiently resourced&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

			<description>&lt;p&gt;Here we have 2 diffirient kits.&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;1st is civilian kit, it consists of your ordinary clothes, Mk.6 or PSGT helmet without cover or with blue/dark blue/black/tan helmet cover and blue/dark blue/black/tan body armor, like &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.secondchance.com/EcommerceCategory.aspx?ProductCategoryID=12&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;this&lt;/a&gt; for example. Also I must admit, that you are to have 2 or 3 signs &amp;quot;Press&amp;quot; - On the helmet and on the back. &amp;quot;Press&amp;quot; sign on your chest is optional.&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;The great example to follow is Ross Camp in Afganistan&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;postimg&quot; loading=&quot;lazy&quot; src=&quot;https://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Media/Pix/pictures/2008/01/04/RossKemp460.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Media/Pix/pictures/2008/01/04/RossKemp460.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;postimg&quot; loading=&quot;lazy&quot; src=&quot;https://torfilm.ru/i/s2/08/10/6/0d8f5c7ec18f04de926fcc0f7d4960d1.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;http://torfilm.ru/i/s2/08/10/6/0d8f5c7ec18f04de926fcc0f7d4960d1.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;postimg&quot; loading=&quot;lazy&quot; src=&quot;https://www.ebooks-audiobook.com/store/images/uploads/kemp.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;http://www.ebooks-audiobook.com/store/images/uploads/kemp.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;postimg&quot; loading=&quot;lazy&quot; src=&quot;https://img.thesun.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00718/Ross-on-Patrol_682_718602a.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;http://img.thesun.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00718/Ross-on-Patrol_682_718602a.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;Military kit is an ansver to our airsoft realities, consists of DDPM trousers, DDPM field jacket, hiden body armor under the field jacket, DDPM flack west on the top. &amp;quot;Press&amp;quot; sign is requiered once.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

			<title>L118 Light Gun</title>
			<link>https://badassesairsoft.0pk.me/viewtopic.php?pid=9#p9</link>
			<description>&lt;p&gt;The L118 Light Gun is a 105 mm towed howitzer, originally produced for the British Army in the 1970s and widely exported since, including to the United States, where a modified version is known as the M119A1. The proper name for it is &amp;quot;Gun, 105mm, Field, L118&amp;quot; but it is almost always just called &amp;quot;the Light Gun&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;Development&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;From 1961 until the mid-1970s, the British Army used the 105 mm Pack Howitzer L5 with L10 ordnance (OTO Melara Mod 56) as its light artillery weapon, variously replacing the 75mm Howitzer, 4.2 inch mortar and 25-pounder gun in some eight regular artillery regiments. It fired the US M1 type ammunition (called 105 mm How in UK). This widely-used howitzer was originally designed in Italy for the Alpini, and was light enough to be lifted by Westland Wessex helicopters or towed by Land Rovers. However, it lacked range (making it potentially vulnerable to counter-battery fire), was not notably robust, had poor sights and was not entirely popular although its light weight and compact size were redeeming features.&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;In 1965 a General Staff Requirement was approved for a new 105 mm weapon system because the pack howitzer &amp;quot;lacked range and lethality&amp;quot;.[2] Key characteristics included 6400 mil traverse by one man, maximum weight of 3,500 pounds (1,600 kg), dimension limits imposed by internal carriage in Chinook helicopters and Andover transport aircraft, and the ability to fire immediately after being under water for 30 minutes.&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;The ammunition to be used was the 105 mm Fd Mk 2 ammunition designed for the L13 ordnance of the &amp;quot;Gun Equipment 105 mm L109&amp;quot; (better known as Abbot self-propelled gun). This ammunition uses electrical instead of percussion primers and is an entirely different design to the US M1 type ammunition as used in the L5 Pack Howitzer. The two types are not interchangeable. An early requirement was for the new weapon to use 105mm Fd Mk 1 ammunition, which uses the M1 shell, in training. However, in 1968 this was changed to allow a different version of the weapon to fire US 1935 pattern (i.e. M1) ammunition, which subsequently became the L119.&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;The new gun, soon designated &#039;Light Gun&#039;, was designed by the government Royal Armament Research and Development Establishment (RARDE), Fort Halstead, Kent. Prototypes were tested in 1968. However, it soon emerged that some increase in weight was needed for a gun with the requisite robustness and several assemblies were substantially redesigned.&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;Original production, which was authorised in late 1975, was by Royal Ordnance Factory, ROF Nottingham, which has since been incorporated into BAE Systems Land and Armaments. Deliveries started in 1976.&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;In British Service&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;Light Gun first entered service with the British Army in 1976. The new weapon was heavier than its predecessor, but new, more capable helicopters such as the Puma and Westland Sea King, which could carry the new weapon, were also entering service at the same time.&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;A new vehicle, the Land Rover 101 Forward Control (Land Rover, One Ton) was designed as the prime mover in the field for the Light Gun (and the Rapier air-defence missile launcher). Since the end of the 1990s, the British Army has used Pinzgauer ATVs as their gun tractors. In Arctic service, and elsewhere, the gun is towed by the H&amp;#228;gglunds Bv 206 and is fitted with skis when over snow.&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;In 1982, the Light Gun saw intense use in the Falklands War. Five batteries (30 guns) were deployed to the Falkland Islands. During the final phases of the battles around Port Stanley, these guns were firing up to 400 rounds per gun a day, mostly at &amp;quot;Charge Super&amp;quot; i.e. the most powerful propellant charge for which they were designed. They were a significant factor in the British victory. Since then, British forces have used the Light Gun in combat in the Balkans, Sierra Leone, Iraq and Afghanistan.&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;At present, the British Army deploys the Light Gun with 29 Commando Regiment RA, 7th Parachute Regiment Royal Horse Artillery and 40 Field Regiment RA. These units support Marine Commando, Air Assault or Light formations. Other regular batteries are temporarily converted to the Light Gun from the AS-90 self-propelled gun as necessary for operations.&lt;br /&gt;The One O&#039;Clock Gun Firing&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;Three regiments of the Territorial Army (100 Regt. RA(V), 103 (Lancastrian Artillery Volunteers) Regt. RA(V) and 105 Regt. RA(V)) are also equipped with the Light Gun. The Honourable Artillery Company, 104 Regt. RA(V) and other units use the Light Gun for ceremonial purposes.&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;Those University Officer Training Corps with &amp;quot;Gun Troops&amp;quot; train with the L118.&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;On 30 November 2001, an L118 Light Gun replaced a 25-pounder as the One O&#039;Clock Gun in Edinburgh Castle. By tradition this fires every day at one o&#039;clock, excepting Sunday, Good Friday and Christmas Day.&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;Design&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;The L118 uses the L19 ordnance on the L17 carriage. The L19 ordnance is slightly shorter than the L13 used by Abbot and hence has slightly shorter maximum range.&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;The Light Gun appears to owe a number of its features to the QF 25 pounder, unsurprisingly since RARDE was the successor to the Design Department, Woolwich Arsenal. Among these features are its vertically-sliding block breech, and a box trail instead of a split trail; a traversing platform is normally used with it. Its comparatively light weight is also attributed to the nature of the steel used in the carriage and ordnance, and other weight-reducing features including its narrow wheelbase.&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;The narrow wheelbase prevents the ordnance rotating the 3200 mil required to &#039;unfold&#039; the gun. Because of this, the gun features a knock-off hub on one side allowing the ordnance to be rotated by removing one wheel. With a well trained gun crew, this contributes approximately 30 seconds to the time required to deploy the gun.&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;When being towed in the unfolded position, the A-Frame is fitted to the front transom in order to support the elevating mass. A recent modification makes it possible to keep the gun in this position indefinitely at speeds up to 40 miles per hour (64 km/h). For long distance transport or traversing rough terrain, the barrel is reversed and clamped to the end of the trail. For storage, the gun is in the unfolded position with the barrel elevated to an angle that balances the elevated mass on the yoke and therefore relieves pressure on the elevating gears.&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;When first introduced in the British Royal Artillery, the L7 or L7A1 dial sight and its carrier, incorporating an integral elevation scale and internal lighting powered by Trilux nuclear light sources, was used to aim the gun for indirect fire. Since Light Gun entered service after the introduction of Field Artillery Computer Equipment (FACE) it never, unlike Abbot, had gun rules. Therefore it has a single Quadrant Elevation scale. These optical indirect fire sights are now only used in recruit training. The L7 sight is a modified version of a German Leitz instrument.&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;The guns also have a direct fire telescope and were originally issued with a night telescope using image intensification.&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;Ammunition&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;The 105 mm Fd Mk 2 ammunition has two propelling cartridges and a blank cartridge (for saluting purposes). The normal cartridge has 6 propellant charges (Charges 1, 2, 3 and 4) plus 4&amp;#189; and 5 increments. Charge 4&amp;#189; is only used for high angle fire. It is peculiar to Light Gun and was not used with Abbot. A separate &amp;quot;Charge Super&amp;quot; cartridge is used for firing to maximum range.&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;Both Charge 5 and Charge Super project beyond the end of the metal cartridge case. Unlike the M1 ammunition, which is &#039;semi fixed&#039; and loaded as a complete round, 105 mm Fd is &#039;separate&#039;; the shell is loaded and rammed by hand, then the cartridge is loaded. By the time L118 entered service, sub-zones A and B originally used with Abbot had been replaced by a spoiler to reduce the minimum range at high angle fire when this was required.&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;The 105 mm Fd Mk 2 projectiles were the same as used with Abbot when the L118 was first introduced. The ammunition types originally or subsequently in UK service include:&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160; &amp;#160; L31 High Explosive (HE) filled with 2.5 kg of RDX/TNT. Conventional impact L32, L85 and L106, L27 CVT and L33 mechanical time fuzes were originally used and some are still available, the L116 multi-role (electronic) fuze is available for operations but is due to be replaced by a new multi-function fuze L166.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#160; &amp;#160; L45 Smoke Base Ejection. This contains three canisters filled with hexochlorethane, which are ejected from the base of the shell in flight by a mechanical (L92) or electronic time fuze (L132 being replaced by L163). On falling to the ground, they generate dense white smoke for 60 seconds.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#160; &amp;#160; Target Marker. These generate dense orange (L38) or red (L37) cloud (produced by a mixture of PETN HE and coloured dye) bursting in the air or on impact, and are used to designate targets e.g. for air strikes.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#160; &amp;#160; L43 Illuminating. Provides a parachute flare base ejected by time fuze (L81) at about 400 metres above the ground and burns for 30 seconds.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#160; &amp;#160; L42 High Explosive Squash Head. Used for direct fire against armoured targets or buildings, has a base fuze with tracer.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#160; &amp;#160; L41 PRAC. Inert practice shell used in training instead of HESH.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#160; &amp;#160; L50 HE. This new HE shell is slightly longer than the older shells, uses 2.9 kg of ROWANEX insensitive plastic bonded explosive and provides significantly greater lethality, which the supplier claims is equivalent to 155 mm HE M107&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#160; &amp;#160; L52 contains four canisters filled with red phosphorus smoke.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#160; &amp;#160; L83 Drill. An inert shell for non-firing training purposes.&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;WP (white phosphorus) smoke shell has never been adopted by UK for L118. A base bleed insensitive HE shell, with a maximum range of 20.6 km, has been developed.&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;Subsequent enhancements&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;During the early 1990s all UK L118 were fitted with a Muzzle Velocity Measuring Device (MVMD), a radar, and its power supply.&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;In 2002 the British Army&#039;s L118 guns completed replacement of their optical sights with the LINAPS Artillery Pointing System (APS). This is a self-contained system that uses three ring laser gyros to determine azimuth, elevation angle and trunnion tilt angle. It also includes facilities for navigation and self-survey using Global Positioning System, inertial direction measurement and distance measurement. All this can be used anywhere in the world to lay the gun without external references. An upgraded APS may also perform some ballistic calculation functions including muzzle velocity prediction using Kalman filters or a neural network.&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;A capability enhancement program that started delivering improvements to UK guns in 2007 aims at reducing weight and improving some components. Weight reduction measures include replacing some steel components with titanium. The MVMD is also more tightly coupled with the layer&#039;s display unit of the APS, reducing electrical power requirements.&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;L119&lt;/p&gt;
						&lt;p&gt;A version of the Light Gun, known as the L119, has a different barrel (the slightly shorter L20 ordnance with a percussion firing mechanism) for firing the widely used US M1 type ammunition (UK 105 mm How). In British service this was only used for training at the Royal School of Artillery while stocks of 105 mm How ammunition lasted. Britain disposed of its last L119s in 2005. However, it is popular with many export customers who still rely on M1 ammunition.&lt;/p&gt;
