After the first day of Land Forces Symposium there was night firing demo where the illumination rounds for grenade launchers and mortars (60, 81 and 120mm) were fired. Also, the multiple variants of the Rheinmetall flashbangs were used during this demo (what's the main difference between six and nine-banger?). But the most effective was show of the ROSY rapid smoke/ obscurant system. In the meantime, the subdued tracer rounds were also shown – in this kind of ammunition, the tracer starts to burn after 50-100 meters from the muzzle end what provides additional concealment for the shooter. On the second day, the day firing demo and guest shooting were part of the plan. Demo started from the 5.56 and 7.62 Enhanced Performance ammunition shooting and new .50 cal precision ammunition. It was followed by hand grenade demonstration in- cluding smoke grenades and air-burst (it rolls around on the ground, comes to a complete stop, erects and jumps to a height of 1.5-2m and explodes) and the 40mm HK GMG shooting with the Vinghog fire control systems which allows to use both „dumb" standards grenades and „smart" air-burst ammunition. It is really impressive when you see three or five grenades fired in single burst and exploding in the exactly same place over the small target.
