Think of the modern Infantry soldier and his own weight in gear he has to carry everyday:) and in high altitude too!

so what you are saying is that you:

-carried a much hated weapon that was only ever in service because of the ANZUS treaty with the US, and was later replaced with the beloved MAG58 to this day
-carried a 6kg flak jacket - optional
-carried from only 1000-2000 rounds of ammo max
-no other support equipment
-no personal comms equipment

So you carried less than what we are carrying now, even for mission-critical equipment? :2smile:
