Norwegian soldiers fall ill after shooting NAMMO out of HK 416

[Iraq Ninja]

This was posted on militaryphotos.net, but I thought it was interesting.

Symptoms including nausea, fever, headache, severe coughing for several hours after shooting, sleeping disorders, sore joints.. Large groups of soldiers unable to continue training for the rest of the day after firing the rifle. It is probably related to the powder gases from the new lead free round from NAMMO.

HA! I suppose the translator has decent sense of humor.

"cold svetting in the evening after shooting"

"At the time there were 19 officers and school officers who were sick after blink shooting." Been a while since I've shot blinks.
