British and German troops try out each other's weapons on tank hunting exercise

British infanteers and German paratroopers have met up in Wiltshire to exchange skills, discuss tactics and try each others' weapons.

Exercise Panzerjäger (Tank Hunter) sees the troops train on Salisbury Plain over three weeks to develop their anti-tank skills, while also testing each others' small arms.

"They have a good fire rate and muzzle velocity - good equipment," said Oberleutnant (Lieutenant) Lucas of 31 Fallschirmjäger Regiment, when talking about the British Army's venerable GPMG (General Purpose Machine Gun).
