Weapons
As in most Rhodesian Army units, the standard weapon was the FN FAL in caliber 7.62mm, or the identical South African R1. The MAG-58 light machine gun was carried as a section weapon, with heavier support provided by 81mm mortars. The West German G3 rifle was used in increasing numbers toward the end of the war. Regulation-issued weapons were often supplemented by local products, captured weapons, and a variety of personal sidearms.
