The French FR-F2 sniper rifle was a further advancement of the FR-F1 sniper rifle. Much like it's predecessor, the FR-F2 was incredibly well-balanced, light weight and sufficiently accurate, but it had advancements in two major ways:
1, A new fore end with a thermal jacket free-floated hand guard in preparation for conflicts with thermal imaging devices.
2, A new caliber, 7.62x51mm NATO.
These signified a further modernization of the French Armed Forces, but also an out-reaching, more internationally aligned military instead of the traditionally isolated military of the French Republic.
So how does the FR-F2 perform? We find out.

@@Xmara01 from military point of view : lot of the power of French military comes from nuclear dissuasion and very high end materials (jet fighters, artillery…) but they don’t consider the basic rifleman as an important tool, we had a president that’s only want Spec-Ops unit with no classic unit just to reduce the size of the army, as now, we have only enough soldier to maintain the operation we have but if we need to deploy anymore or anywhere else a part of the army it won’t be possible due to the size of the army (with lost of materials and men, no resupply or reinforcements possible if loses occurs) In the eye of French civilian : “Guns are bad and dangerous, if there wouldn’t be guns, it would be the end of wars”, that not all civilian but when you speak about guns they just say to you “You don’t need guns to defend yourself” “Army only make peace mission, so no need of violence”, they just forget that to ensure freedom and protection you need to have some “tools” to do it, and rifles and guns are some of those tools that need to be used for it

Actually the US importer Navy Arms recently bought the entire surplus stock of FRF2s from the French government and they are being sold in the US through an associated online retailer (Old Western Scrounger Ammo, ows-ammo). Any old joe in the US can buy one as there are still more than a few available, probably because the price for each rifle and equipment kit ranges from 4.5-8k USD. Takes a real Francophile to shell out for one, but as I understand the more expensive surplus rifles are in fairly good condition.

And of the army wants to change some, and get them off their stomachs, send them to the USMC sniper school, just look at what Marine snipers did in Iraq, with bolt guns, the last of the M40A series in 7.62 they were forward, up in the assaults with bolt guns, city fighting, even room clearing with them, and their pistols. And they were insanely deadly, supporting the infantry in fast moving fights. Trying remember the title, but it was talked about, from marine snipers and commanders. Who did it, and showed some of their mout training.

As a French, I am amazed how Henry mimick my own accent in your language. Even thought I've been firmly said I sound like a britanic South Wales native. Could Henry carry some celtic blood ? WAIT. The barrel has NO harmonic tuning. Ian did a video with Henry Canaple stating clearly and it 's correct. I know many french people spread this misconception ( and even one in another Ian's video ) but that is not the fact. On another hand what makes a lot for rifle accuracy ( no matter cold or hot btw ) and barrel durability is the double butted profile, internal diameter is smaller both at start and end of rifling ( by the way this is well knowne method, many match .22lr rifle have slightly smaller diameter at the muzzle to improve accuracy - Walther, Feinwerkbau and Steyr used it at some point ).

AFAIK, French Air Force didn't use FR F2, they used FR G2 = FR F1 in 7,62 NATO. And like FR F1, FR F2 was used as DMR rather than "sniper". During operation "Oryx" in Mogadishu the FR F2 allowes the French troops to own the battlefield on June 17th battle against Aïded militia 😉

You forgot the most important part. How well does it work when being shot back over the shoulder while running away?

@leonidasthermopylae3378 Жыл бұрын

For that you should ask the Brit. After they are the one who dropped ( literally ) their weapons in the middle of the fight and ran away at Dunkirk. Don’t waste your saliva on the french. Your Amy will never be able to match the number of military victories the french have.

French firearms are so fucking stylish. Never really appreciated them before Ian showed me the light and the way.

That was an absolutely AMAZING intro. Thank you for putting the effort into that. I really wish you guys freshly painted the targets just before starting these.
