So I contacted the Department of Transport and put the request. Very helpful people, but they told me that they had stopped using the 106 rcl because of problems with the shells and acquired a 105 rcl as a replacement. It has taken many months but they sent 4 of the tubes so long as I paid for the cost of FedEx.
Now my decision is what to send them as a thank you!
Last year I posted up a link to a video, of what can happen when Libyan rebels are using recoilless rifle on improvised vehicles and obviously without training. Re-posted here http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=4c6_1314878894&p=1 Very impressive on what it can do to a vehicle.
(Wouldn't it be nice if Australia wasn't such a nanny state and citizens could fire these weapons platforms under controlled conditions.)
