That's about right for a modern platoon, aye. in the 90's we'd have no genadiers and no desigated marksmen as that is a relatively recent introduction into British platoons.

I think we had 4 section platoons back in the 90's and one of them was a support section with the gimpy while the other 3 sectons would have L86's as their SAW equivalent. Today the Minimi is used for most SAW use.
