Military Warfare Equipment by Pearse


Yesterday my dad told me, after his run, that there was a bunch of military equipment at a place about a mile and a half away. It was a 300 year celebration of the Spanish Cavalry. My dad said it would be pretty cool if we went and about a hour later we did. The 1st camoflouged tent we went in was the coolest one of all because you got to hold a training gun and a real gun! The teaching gun, made of plastic, was heavy about 5 to 8 pounds but it wasn’t a real gun. It was designed to teach the soldiers how to use the real gun. The difference between the 2 guns was that the real gun had an interchangeable grenade launcher and was made of matte black metal. The other equipment in the exhibition were awesome tanks, armoured assualt vehicles and communication vehicles. I especially enjoyed learning how to use the turret gunin the assault vehicle. I learned how to turn the gun and about the special aiming mechanism that included a mirror and how the ammunition gets loaded. It was a cool experience here in Valencia Spain.
