‘With what?

From all the stories lately coming out of there I am surprised they will let them have anything more deadly than a slingshot.’

I can’t speak for anyone else here in Britain, but I’d probably use one of my shotguns or my old .303 SMLE Mk4.

It was tongue in cheek, I knew you were still allowed those but the way things are going it seems even those will be banned if you listen what the news prints.

I bought a Model 4 SMLE at a gun show years ago. I can't get through a 20-round box of cartridges without a good shoulder bruise from the solid brass buttplate.

How exactly did Tommies cope with it? 20 rounds per minute - yikes!
