I've been reading thru some of the MP websites and noticed that there seems to be a bit of confusion as to what weapons we have / are using currently.

NOTES
The disposable canister/launch tube is attached to the reusable firing post (which includes sight systems).
Eryx employs a recoil reduction system with reduced back-blast, which permits launch from inside of buildings. A rest such as a ledge or sandbag is required for launches beyond 350 meters. Signature reduction includes noise and smoke reduction.
The original Sopelem 0B50 II night sight had a range of 600 m.

I'll leave that to you.

If you want a head start have a look at my page, been doing this sort of thing for along time;

My research shows:

C1 -> FN FAL
C7 -> M16A3
C8 -> M4

Yes, that is very helpful. Thanks!

Now I can stat some of these for the Canadian Commandos component of the Snake Eaters encounter group properly.

Some good information in there.

For the C1 Series there are 6 variants that where produced;

C1
C1D Navy Issue
C1A1
C1A1D Navy Issue
C1A1 8L Serial
C1A1 8L Serial (last batch about 1000 produced at the end).

Details of each;

C1

The standard C1 rifle as made by Canadian Arsenals Limited. Based on an imperial conversion of the metric made FN EX1 rifle.

C1D Navy Issue

C1 rifles purchased by the Canadian Navy were converted to allow automatic fire with the replacement of the following C2 parts:-

Safety/Selector
Trigger plunger

To distinguish between the standard C1 and the Navy’s C1D a Large ‘A’ was engraved into the butt and painted white.

C1A1

The following components were changed on a C1 rifle to bring it up to the C1A1 standards;

New pattern Plastic Carrying Handle
New pattern Firing Pin fitted (2 piece)
New pattern Firing Pin Spring (variable pitch spring and coloured red)
New pattern Breech Block fitted or bushing applied to the firing pin hole on existing rifles
Change Barrel dimensions (modify Chamber, Bullet Lead and Bore).
Retrofit (repair or replace parts to “As New” condition)

C1A1D Navy Issue

Conversion of existing stocks of C1D rifles to the new C1A1 standards, as listed above.

C1A1 8L Serial Numbered Rifles

There are two types of 8L series rifles. The first incorporated the design changes, which consisted of;

New pattern Receiver (simplified manufacturing implemented).
New pattern, square shaft ejector, for easy Unit removal.
Late pattern larger Handguards
New late pattern butt stock
New late pattern butt plate
New late pattern carrying handle
New late pattern body locking lever
New late pattern magazine catch.

It also incorporates all the modifications that created the original C1A1 rifles.

C1A1 8L Serial Numbered Rifle (the almost C1A2 Rifle)

At the end of the C1 production in 1968 the 8L series was altered, with the following components changed;

New pattern Gas block (same style as C2).
New pattern foresight protectors (same as that used on the C2).

This modified C1A1 rifle was going to be re-designated the C1A2. In total maybe 1000 of these rifles were made in this configuration.

Was all the text lifted from Canadiansoldiers.com?

Researching eah one looks something like it.

[ArmySGT.]

I have pistols, rifles, MGs, done, but the .pdf is over the limit.

My laptop doesn't have MS Office and I am using Open Office. OO doesn't work well with the Excel formulas. I may not be able to stat the munitions for mortars, grenades, RRs, and artillery for a bit yet.

Hmm I'll try again tonight.
