I'd disagree with "worst LMG" as I present this horror:
So bad not even the cadet forces would touch it.

A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.
2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes
If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.
3. Content must be relevant
Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.
4. No racism / hatespeech
No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.
5. No politics
We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.
6. No seriousposting
We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.
7. No classified material
Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.
8. Source artwork
If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.
9. No low-effort posts
No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.
10. Don't get us banned
No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
11. No misinformation
NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.

Uniform/Camouflage
I think there's some room for potential iteration here.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsarouchi
The Presidential Guard (Greek: Προεδρική Φρουρά, romanized: Proedrikí Frourá) is a ceremonial infantry unit that guards the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the Presidential Mansion in Athens, Greece.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yeomen_of_the_Guard
The King's Body Guard of the Yeomen of the Guard is a bodyguard of the British monarch. The oldest British military corps still in existence, it was created by King Henry VII in 1485 after the Battle of Bosworth Field.
Issue one of those as battle dress.
Originally I misremembered and thought that San Marino's Crossbow Corps were Luxembourg's. San Marino isn't in NATO, so unfortunately, I think that crossbows are out as primary issue weapon:
EDIT: Oh, yes. There's no land mine covered. Let's do the chicken-warmed nuclear landmine. I'm fairly sure that the potential for a complete mess here is pretty good.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Peacock
Blue Peacock, renamed from Blue Bunny and originally Brown Bunny, was a British tactical nuclear weapon project in the 1950s.
The project's goal was to store a number of ten-kiloton nuclear land mines in Germany.
Chicken-powered nuclear bomb
A technical problem is that during winter, the temperature of buried devices can drop quickly, creating a possibility that the mechanisms of the mine will cease working due to low temperatures in the winter.[5] Various methods were studied to solve this problem, such as wrapping the bombs in insulating blankets.
One proposal suggested that live chickens would be sealed inside the casing, with a supply of food and water.[6] They would remain alive for approximately a week. Their body heat would apparently have been sufficient to keep the mine's components at a working temperature.
What IS that "uniform"? Is that a real uniform, or some airsoft dude?
Oh fuck, is that a Dutch flag I see? NOOOOO
As for me the lower bar in the flag is more black than blue, I did some reverse image search and found a better version here: Reverse searching https://pantip.com/topic/36321000
It is an Iraqi uniform, so neither Dutch nor Luxembourgish.
Btw. Saddam hides in the background.
Whoever came up with those helmets gets a promotion.
Napalm for light AT? It would look pretty at least.
Ive already been in this unit. The secret is to start with any non-combat arms unit, and then dedicate yourselves to being as "stractical" as possible.
mk16 for DMR - why does this make it the worst?
Are we looking at different pictures? To me the DMR looks to be a mk14 EBR.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mk_14_Enhanced_Battle_Rifle
A rifle that is notoriously difficult to accurize being used as a DMR. Not a bad battle rifle per se, but as a DMR it is worse in just about every way than a more modern LR308/AR10, or even an FNAR, etc.
quite right, it’s the mk14 my bad
