C'est un excellent fusil d'assaut. La 1ère fois que je l'ai utilisé, lors du tir fédéral de 2004, c'est la société de tir qui me l'a prêté. À 300 mètres, j'ai fait 20/20 touchés, 67/85 points.

the rifle instruction technique was simplified sometime after 2005. For example: back in basic training in 2002 we had 4 different drills on how to clear a malfunction (as shown in the video), later it was reduced to 2. One thing I noticed is that the slings are not lengthened with paracord, which is a thing we already did back in 2002.

Great subtitles. Thanks for making our instructional videos understandable to a larger audience. However there never was and never will be any rifle denominated “M90” - this is an invention of yours.

Thank you for posting this! Really love the content you share and hope to see even more on the Stgw90 in particular going forward alongside your stgw57 uploads. Please keep up the excellent work!

Another fantastic upload! Thanks Dale! 👍

Thanks Dale. I appreciate and enjoy these videos.

Thank you for your hard work!

Couple of comments and addendums, for those interested: 1:29 Rifles shown in this film are of the standard production SG 541 pattern with modified receiver magazine stabilizing pressing. The earlier versions had stress concentrations that led to cracks. 2:49 The open-handed grip method is strange and doesn't seem to reflect the current state of training. To the best of my knowledge, the practice was inspired from US principles, abandoned in 2003 in favor of a natural grasp, despite persisting in military manuals. 3:44 Idem with the index finger magazine catch actuation. Very strange. 4:15 Note the use of the old pattern dummy Gw Pat 90 (Manip Pat) of solid brass. This was later replaced with injection-molded orange plastic with an aluminium base. 9:02 Note that pragmatically, this drill can be replaced outright with a simple "tap-rack". 11:42 Good argument for a floppy bipod with no locking function: more durable in the field 14:11 Note the "15m" instead of the narrated 50m. The German version and the manual confirms that 50m is the correct distance. 18:00 The militiamen seem to be unfortunately negligently pointing their firearms very close to the neighbors' feet. 18:52 *Malfunction 1, sorry for the mistake.

Danke Dale fürs Hochladen, die Erinnerungen kommen hoch (Sommer RS 2003 / Singer Finger 😉)

Good work on the subs, Dale-man

Another nice translation. Thank you Dale. Had to do a double take on the camo pattern. For a moment I thought it was US Army European. But both that and this Swiss pattern were designed for central Europe so it fits they are similar.

17:00 Another difference to later training (at least in the infantry) is the fire position of the soldiers. After body armour was introduced to the fighting troops, the shooting position was to front face the enemy. By this you would have the full protection effect, while facing sideways would mean you'd expose the "not armored" side. It was quite the task to teach older soldiers to change this during repetion courses 😂

Real interesting that shoot to wound and warning shots were an official part of guard doctrine.

That open palm support hand grip seems like a modified form of support used by the masochists that do high power service rife competitions.

2:55 the music is very 1990s, love it 😂👍🏻

Great in this video show the "real" mud conditions

good . thanks

Though I don’t wish for conflict or war, the Swiss military is the one military I’d like to actually see go into a combat environment to see how it handles itself because its so foreign in regards to being a purely defensive force.

Dale if you could do a deep dive on this rifle I think the videos would be a big hit because these guns are rare and expensive in America just like the STG 57

In 1990 we were the first battalion that was issued the Fass90. At the time there was some confusion on the manipulation of the new rifle. In the mid 1990 our association, ASSU Mendrisiotto e Basso Ceresio, was part of the development and introduction of what was to become the NTTC (Nuova Tecnica di Tiro di Combattimento), developed from the teachings of the Taylor practice.

More good history preserved on the internet.

Die Musik ist geil :D

🇨🇭💪🏻

All of us in the US watching them throw $250 magazines on the ground.

ทัพไทยเริ่มชัดเจนก็จะเป็นมาตรฐาน
