the guns heading to the US , its being released and the war memorial will disconbooberate the things cause of the PC BS in canberra

so its going to the folks who made it for us ,

or more correctly their museum

the SeaBee's Museum

and it'll stay a shooter

here it'd end up replaced by a fibreglass copy that cost $10,000 or something stupid to please the anti gun nuts

early IR technology is all i can say , i know the CSIRO has books on it , but i forget all the details , sorry

you folks forget how many things we invent here that get taken over and made famous elsewhere

sonar buoys
TV
Radar

the Seabee's fitted our test stuff to a M1 carbine for use

we did also put it on a garand but the rcoil was too much for the gear so we got a M1 from you folks

we swapped the top illuminator with a US made one but dunno which is in the pic , ours or your..

and it became rather well used at the Chosin reservoir ...

then became another obsolete test that sat in racks to get a clean and oil every 6-10 months

i'll get a pic of it as it is now
