Thread: NZ Defence Force to buy 82 new high-tech rifles for $4 million

It is quite common for the civilian to beat the guy from the forces from what I've read on a number of local and overseas forums. Mostly what I've read has been from the non civie. The things in favour of the civilian are that he gets to tailor his gear and load a lot more, and has to fork out for it all so makes sure it does what it needs to. The enlisted guy gets given the gear and ammo which is generally not tuned so well, but made to do it's job.
