The stuff is great for training but as you say, rare as hens teeth in the normal army. Got to use it once and the blue uppers was a little weird, but you hav't lived until you stumble in front of a saw loaded with the stuff. Back when - was in they said it wasn't civie legal: anyone know if that's changed?
