My dad was a military officer in the canadian army. But true. it's not like i"m an expert. This is just the testament of lots of MIlitary personnel and even today (september 27th) on CBC radio(canadian broadcasting corporation) a retired US navy seal was knocking canada's army by saying it was "grossely inefficient" and "underfunded". In an article by the Montreal Gazette, Canadian troops said "we are the best equipped army in the world, except for our rifles." referring to the c7 rifle. (The article was on canadian military clothing), it's widely known that the C7 jams easily. People who say it works well clean almost twenty four seven. How many C7s have been combat tested??? C7 was built by a company with no weapon bulding experience. IT works as a rifle... just not made to last. but then again, who am I tosay anything
here's some testinonials.
"...the foreign services that have adopted the Elcan are using them as designed, and have not faced a scope failure rate like that of units in Canada."
"In my experience, the bore should be kept spotless, clean the bore every day after shooting" not many soldiers have that kind of option....
"At first, some of us thought it was a pretty cool rifle and indicated the Canadian Forces had arrived in the 20th century. Others thought, what the hell are we going to do with this prarie dog weapon" -http://fabriquenationale.homestead.com/48thhighlanders.html
