"For those who have been under fire in Helmand, finding that a large fraction of captured rifles are Lee-Enfields or Mosin-Nagants is not surprising. This battalion’s battlefield collections fit its Marines’ experiences on patrol.

Hmmmm, I have four Lee-Enfields myself. Not a bad weapon that can be reloaded pretty quickly.

Why don't the Democrats outlaw guns for the Taliban, and solve this problem?


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Looks lie a RPG in there also. Where are the stingers and mortars? This is a goat headers collection.

In that terrain, a WWII era rifle is what I’d generally opt for.

It's all about RANGE in the mountains.

It's a good mix for a mountain fighting team.

I think it was Wyatt Earp who said something to the effect that the winner in a gunfight is the deliberate man who took his time and fired once. It seems the enemy follows his advice.

After reviewing the pictures I’ll bid $500 for the whole lot (shipping not included).

This looks like the typical cache of weapons we would seize in Somalia. Funny how the names and places of the dirtbags change, but their weapons stay the same...
