Why do those soldiers have canteens dangling from the tips of their rifles?

Yea, I think it's because they want to make it harder to aim. Or, some sergeant came up with the bright idea of making soldiers do this, so when the soldiers are either wounded in the arms, physically very exhausted, or using a really heavy rifle, they would be able to handle it like they would in perfectly healthy condition.

the pincer movement is the most classical tactic you have, a auxiliary force that hold on the ennemy main force and the heavy or main force attack by the 2 wing and envelloped the ennemy force

o, i see, thanks. are you in the reserves?




the aiming question
it's the second strength training thing. not because it's hard to aim.

back in the day, they didn't use canteens, they used bricks. they would hang 1 brick, then 2, then 3. the idea is to develop your accuracy with the rifle. with the extra weight on it, it will develop the muscles used to hold the gun, and also help with aiming once the brick is gone, because the soldier will feel so much easier to move and aim with it without the extra weight. if a soldier can keep a gun steady and aim well with a brick or two on it, it will be easier for him to learn to steady his aim when there is no brick.

which i hope you don't mind if i ask you a few questions about the reserves.
do they treat you badly while you are there? like do they yell at you, swear at you, and make you feel bad about yourself like in the USMC? and the soldiers with you, do they pick on you too? and is the training very hard? because i have a friend in the armoured, he said he didn't join the infantry because the training in infantry is too hard, you have to carry a very heavy sack (which i don't know how heavy, but it looks very heavy in the video, and big too...) and walk for many kms. which i don't really mind walking, but if you carry and run is the worst part....
basicly, is the life in the infantry reserves, very hard???? both, mentally and physically?

thanks a lot.

hi Red Guard, well, if you want to join the infantry, the toughest part is the soldier's basic qualification course and the infantry basic training, when I joined the RMR (this was my first unit, I was latter transfered to the FMR), the worst was really the SQ, tough, very physical and mentally demanding, tip: don't do the SQ in summer, cause if you take it in summer, you'll be at St-Jean... (normally, in the reserve, there is SQ (less rough) given during week-end, at RMR, there was a batch starting in october and the 2nd in january, but i choose the summer one...(very bad choice) it's hard at the beginning only, when you have to pass your 2 qualification, after, it's relax, just watch out, sometime, exercise are very rough either.

BTW, the SQ is for everyone, it's the basic training..., if your friend pass his SQ during the year, that's pretty much easier (he can tell you it consist of what) that what I did during the summer at St-Jean
