Team Yankee - NATO - Infantry Platoon

The Belgian infantryman is armed with a FN battle rifle, a semi-automatic weapon in 7.62mm calibre. This powerful weapon is longer and heavier than the American M16, and packs more punch. Supporting firepower is provided by the 7.62mm FN-MAG general purpose machine-gun. The platoon is also equipped with LAW disposable anti-tank weapons for defence against tanks and the unit is also equipped with a Blindicide anti-tank team. This Blindicide is a Belgian development of the US Bazooka. They are also equipped with a 60mm mortar to provide further fire support.
