    Combat swimmer pics

    Interesting pictures thought you folks might like to see. One guy "driving" and the other following.

    That's interesting - I didn't know the French used Sig-Sauers - that is what it is, isn't it? A neighbour of mine, a colonel in the Bundeswehr, fired the FAMAS on a trip recently and quite liked it though still didn't think it better than their current issue H&K.
    In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.

    Here's a post from a French watch forum on the French Army (interestingly not the Navy) Plongeurs de combat and their isssued Bianchi watches. Text in French, but lots of pics. Seems you need to scroll up as it opens at the end of the thread.

    Yes it is a SIG 552 I believe
    The French commandos use a fairly wide variety of weapons, including Famas, HK, and Sig Sauer;
    There are quite a few versions of the Famas, some of which are quite impressive. But they don't always take to the water quite as well :D
