What system?
Defence gateway. Still have the original version there.
Ah. ACF-controlled. Iâm afraid I canât speak for them / explain that. đ¤ˇ
Any idea what a mobile shooting simulator is? 1084s most recent Instagram post mentions it. Iâve never heard or seen anything relating to one, other than DCCT.
(Appreciate this isnât directly related to the thread title but seems close enough)
There are some DCCTs in vans.
They are using a clay pigeon one in the image on Instagram. There are a few about that use Lasers to track the gun and link it up with the screen and trigger pull.
And there are mobile coffee bars in vans too. Synergy?

The NSRA issue badges and medals for achieving more than a certain score per class at the Bisley Rifle Meeting which is outdoor shooting at 50m & 100 yards.
With guns becoming obsolete and withdrawn surely it makes more sense to set one standard to be achieved indoors at any distance as the targets should be proportional and another standard to be achieved outdoors with a target rifle and another for the current assault weapon which is not a target rifle. That would enable cadets to qualify for badges by passing such tests at Target Shooting Clubs if they canât shoot within the ATC due to a lack of ranges, disrepair or risk aversion by the RC.
Targets shot to obtain badges could be stickered up before shooting and then formally signed by the shooter and witnessed by the RCO and scored by a qualified scorer for presentation to the OC Squadron.
Define qualified in this case.
Submit it as a request via the mil-skills change request form and the National Shooting Officer may take a look.
Qualified in this case means that they have successfully completed the NSRA scorerâs course. They will therefore have a set of the official brass plug gauges used to score .22 rimfire targets and know how to use them and will regularly be determining the results of competitions.
As indicated in my Bio Iâm very new to all of this and have a lot to learn. I take my completed application form down to the CO tomorrow night.
I just see a difference between passing a skills test on handling a particular rifle and being able to evidence that you have a proven level of accuracy in shooting generally, regardless of the particular gun.
Judging from your posts youâre bringing a lot of shooting knowledge with you.
A word of warning: despite you clearly oozing with credibility in the shooting field, in a service / MOD sponsored cadet forces environment, referring to anything other than a shotgun or machine gun (or artillery piece, naval gun, etc.) as a âgunâ will (very mistakenly in your case) make people assume you donât know what youâre talking about. Itâs rifles, pistols, or âweapon systemsâ in military circles.

Itâs not a criticism at all. I know civilian shooters who refer to weapons as guns all the time, itâs just one of those things that the forces are funny about. We also call rucksacks âBergensâ or âday sacksâ depending on size (never âbagâ, apparently) and the one that always makes me chuckle is âsleeping systemâ.

âAir systemâ was fashionable a few years back as a term for aircraft and UAS, but people seem to have dialled back on the crazy a bit now and when they mean aircraft they say so

I donât follow, but Iâm interested so try me again in different words, please!
My understanding was the RPAS pilots fly remotely piloted aircraft and the âair / aerial systemâ includes the ground station, satellites, link, etc: rather than just the airframe.
P.S. On the other hand, targeteers regularly use terms like âdelivery systemsâ or âweapons platformsâ to describe aircraft.
I think thatâs now the understanding. One DAM I am familiar with started talking about âair systems taxyingâ and parking âair systemsâ on dispersals. But common sense seems to be back in recent revisions!
