On the reservists having the C7A2's. Personally I really don't think it's really all that big of a deal. So what if they have them? It's not as if the A2 is a vastly superior weapon or anything........... I carried a C7A2 around Kabul for 6 months, and the few times I fired it (on ranges) I actually found that the new cocking handle kinda sucks a**. Now, this of course is a Crewmans point of view, I don't really know, perhaps the infantry love the weapon........... All I can say is I found it rather cumbersome to cock it and the extended cocking handle tended to get tangled and snagged on every damned thing I passed by. As well, can't say I really care for the double sided mag release either. (Mind you, I am right handed so lefties probably like it ;D) In any event, the Militia doesn't get gucci kit too often, so if they got to play with some during an ex or on build-up training, good for them.
