Now, can somebody tell me howintheheck carrying an assault rifle bruises one's LEGS?!?!
You'd have to see the way she carries it...
If you've looked at how a lot of soldiers' rifles are slung these days when on patrol, they beat a soldiers legs pretty good unless his has a hand on the weapon to steady it.
Been there....carried one. Unless the rifle is slung tight across the back, one simply cannot let it drop and swing freely when 2 hands are needed for other things.
