I remember a few years ago at the range with 3 of my BARs ...and a WWII paratrooper asking to hold the NESA...He remembers jumping with it before D-DAY,many times and then for the last time on D-DAY...he was half my size and weight and still in great shape...shot that BAR like it was a 22...his jump gear was 80-100 lbs and he wade 135 lbs.,,,I`ll never forget that day...
