Okay buddies, love it hate it or don't get enough of it (the most likely situation) - FBT, what's your preferred weapon?

I did FTBI with two world renowned Swedish instructors who mocked the 'complicated nonsense' that is the Akron. They preferred a very simple chunky looking bit of kit from their homeland running off 45mm hose. In our brigade front line pumps are equipped with Akron mounted on hose reel in one locker and TFT on hose reel in the other.

At the airport we run Galena Fog off 45mm hose.

Out of the lot I concur with our Swedish colleagues, preferring 45mm coupled to the Galena,  training hard in perfecting technique and condition awareness rather than fiddling around with the settings on the Akron.

What do you think?
