I've got a couple of Cobra Baffler Rails (19 and 22); they're nice, easy to handle and make a good noise.

'Golf Smarter' has some good features now and again. They release a free podcast every other week. Most of the good stuff is subscription only though.

The basic premise that the Defence equipment situation is 'bad' is almost entirely faulty. The British Army in particular are better equipped than they have ever been in their entire history, whether that be for operations in general or contemporary operations in Afghanistan in particular...

Zinc Oxide tape on your heals.
