Ähem ... (S.Africa from Page 1 ??)

ok, before this is considered spam, i add Croatio to the list:

APS 95

It was meant to replace the aging M70 assault rifle but due to lack of money the rearming wasn´t completed. APs 95 is basically a licensed copy of zthe Galil and has seen some action in 1995 Croatia Conflict.

@Walker: the only thing i ever shot with was a spudgun ... nothing comparable to lrifles, so i guess my opinion is not that important.

and sorry for the late reply

Yes they do.

Every swiss who makes his service and wants it, can get a Pe90 at home.

The reason is because Swiss have to do 'obligatory shootings' every year. In addition of their days of service.

I'm not sure but I believe the Pe90 is a modified version of the Sig551, exclusively for the Swiss Army.

I read in Time magazine that one of the reasons for Swiss reservists having ARs in their homes was that since Switzerland is such a small country, in case of an invasion the country would quickly be swarming with enemies and a reservist must be able to fight his way to his group's gathering point.

They would not swarm the enemy but retreat into the refuge high up in the mountains. You wouldnt believe how many restricted areas you find up there.

And the training is not only on an annual basis but includes more than just shooting training!

@Albert: You misunderstood, I said the country would be full of enemies (=swarming with them), and therefore a reservist must be armed for said retreat.

Great that you mentioned the Tavor, rufusmac.

Here's some more info and pics:

I once bought a F-5 patch at the Swiss Airforce Museum in Dübendorf.

Or any Canadian who wants to fork out $3000(CDN) cash and pay the $25 registration fee . Owning a Pe90 isn't all that hard to do in Canada.

In fact we can get the AR at home, but it's always the property of the army. We have to return it (or to buy it) when we have no more obligation of service.

yes it's the patch of the swiss patrol and they have Tigers.
